Henna is a very useful (and traditional) treatment for damp bits of
the body that tend to get heat rashes...and I bet that's part of it.
Come to think of it...there are a lot of South Asian erotic paintings
where there are dangly bits depicted as much more red than I recall
them being in real life. The hennaeing of marriage tackle may be
more for comfort, to enhance fragrance and cleanliness , than just for
looks. (But....anything to improve on the "last chicken in the shop"
look!) And a nice henna scent would certainly be welcome.
