In human anatomy and in mammals in general the mons pubis (Latin for pubic mound) also known simply as the mons and known specifically in females as the mons Venus or mons veneris (Latin for mound of Venus) is a rounded mass of fatty tissue situated over the pubic bone. Its location is specifically anterior to the pubic symphysis. The size of the mons pubis varies with the level of hormone and body fat and it is more apparent in females.
