Adults who remove all their pubic hair ‘are 440 per cent more likely to get an STD’

It found adults who removed all their pubic hair were at a 440 per cent higher risk of picking up a sex bug. Experts said younger people are most likely to banish the bush.
Researchers said those waxing or trimming below were more sexually active, putting them at greater risk of STIs.
And grooming may also cause small cuts and tears to the skin, making it easier to pick up an infection.
The study looked at more than 7,500 adults in the U.S. aged between 18 and 65. Around 13 per cent admitted having at least one STI.
Three-quarters said they trimmed their pubes – with 84 per cent of women and 64 per cent of blokes’ saying they were fans of a manicured bush.
Scientists found those practicing “extreme” grooming – the removal of all their pubic hair – were at the highest risk of infections such as chlamydia, syphilis, warts and gonorrhoea.
But overall, any cutting, waxing or shaving down below was linked to an 80 per cent higher chance of an STI.
Writing in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, lead researcher Dr Benjamin Breyer from the University of California San Francisco, said: “Grooming may cause epidermal [skin] microtears, which may increase the risk of STIs.
“Another possible explanation for our findings, individuals who groom may be more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviours than those who do not groom.”
The most common grooming tool for ladies was a simple razor, while for blokes it was an electric shaver.
Dr Peter Greenhouse, a spokesman for the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV, said only one in five Brits are aware they have an STI.
He said: “Many younger people are following trends they have seen in pornography. But of all the habits picked up from watching adult films online, removal of pubic hair is the least harmful.

That is more than likely the main issue at play

It definitely increases the risk of an infection to have microcuts in your skin. I don't know if waxing can produce such "damage" to the skin but the article makes it sound overexaggerated by saying 440 per cent instead of "4 times more likely". It really depends on the specific disease and route of infection. Regarding the route it can be either hematogenous or transmucosal. I doubt microorganism using the latter route will be that much affected, but those using the former will be. Unfortunately I've never studied STI's, because I am a veterinary graduate and we don't care for that shit. At least not in the field I specialize in.

That's pretty much how life works, you dildo.
When a scientist has a hunch, they run a study or experiment to test it.
Then, others speculate on the results, and for their own hypothesis.
Fag.

The reality is that people who groom actually get laid

Aha, I will circumvent this by shaving all my pubic hair and then never having sex.
Take that STDs, I'm thinking around you.

I can agree with this, I was sitting here on my couch and I contracted the clap.......

WOW ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT PEOPLE WHO GET MORE SEX BECAUSE THEIR GENITALS DON'T LOOK LIKE COUSIN IT ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET DISEASES YOU GET FROM HAVING SEX!?
THANK YOU MISTER SCIENCE MAN I WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED THAT THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE SEX ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SEX!
How much do we pay these fuckers, and can we get it back in money or their blood?

What is the sound of one testicle with the clap?

Waxing can definitely cause damage after extended use. Depilatories should not cause any damage if used properly, just get one of the softer brands.

Except not lol.

yeah not at all. people make a habit of being bald down there because they are having lots of people see their junk, not vice versa. it's a fashion among the already slutty; nobody makes it to the bedroom and decides 'no, too hairy'

The sun found a correlation between having sex and getting STDs. Now that's journalism!
>>

Well with waxing it can and usually does draw the blood closer to the surface so maybe that's how waxing can potentially lead to an STI?
