Waxing down below 'does increase your risk of STIs - by 400% if you whip it all off'
Well this shocked me this morning

I was thinking the same thingLooks like it's back to the full on furry forest ....
Open poresYes I read something about this a few weeks ago. It makes sense I guess as any nicks or cuts can leave the body open to infection.
Hmmm, it won't stop us I'm afraid, within our lifestyle, its still the most preferred look,/attraction, and as long as good basic hygiene rules are followed, as well as regular checking, plus it's a very sexy feel when freshly done xxxWaxing down below 'does increase your risk of STIs - by 400% if you whip it all off'

I can see why. I currently have an ingrown hair from 5 weeks ago and it's turned into a boil that keeps weeping. Due to being diabetic, it seems that anything below the waist, takes weeks or months to heal, it's a nightmare.
I don't often fully shave with a razor, I tend to just trim, but the one time I do use a razor, I get bloody ingrowing hairs
Luckily, I'm not sexually active, because if I was, I wouldn't play until my boil has healed, as I'm super paranoid of ever catching a STD. I used to always be at the GUM clinic when I was an active swinger.
I can't believe its 400% and it makes you thinkOmg!! But if you are protected surely them theres smaller or no risk. Damn i dont wanna grow a bush lol xx
Just think "Retro" could start a new 70's porn star look ..Omg!! But if you are protected surely them theres smaller or no risk. Damn i dont wanna grow a bush lol xx
Oh god I used to get ingrown hairs all the fucking time when I shaved. Barely ever have any now though, knock on wood.I can see why.

I nearly posted a thread about it last night, but my meds kicked in and made me drowsy.Feel your pain with this. I know exactly where youre coming from. Xxx
It's why I prefer to trim with a beard trimmer. It doesn't make me totally smooth, but at least I don't get stubble rash or ingrown hairs.Oh god I used to get ingrown hairs all the fucking time when I shaved. Barely ever have any now though, knock on wood.

It happens every time. Whether it's a new blade or not.
The sheer amount of time the boils take to heel, is horrendous and they look awful. Would hate someone to think I have syphilis or something!
same here if it's below my waist. My top half tends to heal quickly.Thats the thing with diabetes. I get the same issue with any cut etc. Xxx
Good point. XThis won't stop me shaving, but I wonder if the reason behind this in fact due to shaved people being more sexually active and with more sexual partners than unshaven people, as many STI's are spread mainly by bodily fluids (it's the reason condoms are such good protection) I believe.
This is why I do sugaring. Soooo much gentler on the skin than normal/hot wax and shaving. I seriously recommend trying it if you get the chance.

Every cloud.....Yes this was one of the findings however even those who didnt have a lot of sexual encounters still showed an increase in STI' s. The good thing about shaving is you are less likely to have nits
