Wolfie Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I do like a bit of a trim in the gentlemans area but have always thought it a bit werd to want to remove it all. Why would anyone want to look like a pre-pubescent child?. Takes all sorts I suppose. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-38207594 Pubic hair grooming 'STI risk linked to skin tears' Women and men who regularly trim or remove all their pubic hair run a greater risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) than those who do not, research suggests. Doctors say small tears in the skin from shaving or trimming could make it easier for infections to take hold. But they also say groomers - particularly extreme ones - tend to be more sexually active too. STIs are passed on through unprotected sex or genital contact. The findings come from a survey of more than 7,500 American adults, published in Sexually Transmitted Infections - a specialist BMJ journal. The report, led by doctors from the University of California, San Francisco, said the two most likely explanations for the link between grooming and STIs were micro-tears in the skin, which increased the risk of viral STIs, and groomers being more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour with more sexual partners. Extreme cut An electric razor was the most common tool used for pubic grooming among men, while a manual razor was more common among women. About one in five men and women used scissors. The researchers said it was unlikely that sharing grooming tools was an issue, because traces of the most common STIs had not been found on objects before. But they did say doctors should advise groomers to cut back a little on their grooming or put off having sex until the skin had healed completely. Almost three-quarters of respondents said they had groomed their pubic hair before, with 84% of women and 66% of men saying they had trimmed, shaved or waxed in the past. Among the groomers, 17% described themselves as "extreme" - removing all hair at least once a month - and 22% as "high frequency" - trimming daily or weekly. Lice protection In the survey, any type of grooming was linked to an increased risk of having a sexually transmitted infection. And the more frequent and extreme the grooming, the greater the risk. Those with the most extreme habits were three to four times more likely to contract an STI, particularly infections from skin to skin contact such as herpes and HPV (human papillomavirus). But there was good news for groomers too - because their habit was found to protect against pubic lice. The report said: "If grooming is found to protect against lice, individuals at risk for pubic lice could be counselled to remove their pubic hair."

King Kevin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 This is a review of Veet hair remover that was used in an inappropriate place very funny. I like the clean shaven look down in my gentleman's log cabin, so for the past few years I've used a shaver. However the hair keeps growing back which means every 6 months I have to spend 20 minutes trimming again. As I'm sure you've realise this is valuable time I cannot waste. So I decided to get to the root of the problem and purchased this product Probably the first thing you will notice after using this product is the pain. Although as a man I lack the required experience, I'm going to estimate that using this product is at least eleven times more painful than childbirth. Imagine sticking a rusty razor blade into your favourite eye, before tying your hands behind your back. Then imagine that you use the entrenched razor blade to slice open a raw onion. All the while being butt naked. This product is slightly more painful than that. However if we ignore the blinding, crippling and debilitating pain I should point out that this product is remarkably effective. Before, all manner of organisms great and small lived down there, now nothing can grow; not even on a cellular level. Sadly this includes my genitalia; I've spent the last four hours staring fixedly at Carol Vorderman's arse, all to no avail. My tinkywinkleton hasn't even so much as perked up, so if my review seems a bit harsh, it's only because I wanted children. In summary: Pros: A small expense, certainly didn't burn a hole in my pocket. Cons: Did burn a hole in my scrotum All in all an effective and reasonably priced product - 3 Stars.

Ashz09 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hmm a full shave is good at times. Especially if the missus is on top if she has any stubble or hair it's proper irritating! Vice versa if I've not shaved. As a lad I haven't really done it since the single life / beginning of my current relationship. Now I just can't be arsed! Apart from this weekend going London in the hotel so might surprise her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Neatly trimmed is all part of grooming and keeping up appearances. Anything else always strikes me as a bit iffy. But each to their own I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 hang on, the survey results were published by a specialist STI magazine? Presumably by asking people in a waiting room at the clap clinic? Quelle supris! If everyone in there has shaven minge or back-wheels, then they're bound to turn out high results! Go and ask people who don't have syphilis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
