6 Reasons To Stop Shaving Down Under

1. You’ll avoid infections

Pubic hair is natural and, in many ways, protective. Although some women believe that shaving their pubic hair is more hygienic, medical research shows the exact opposite. Think of your lovely little bush as a barrier. It reduces contact with dirt, viruses and bacteria.

When you stop shaving, not only will you reduce the occurrence of common complications, including yeast infections, but you can also decrease your risk of STIs. Ready for this?

According to a very recent study, published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, those who frequently remove their pubic hair actually experience an 80 percent higher risk of developing an STI. As you would expect, rates of grooming were high among both males and females — something in which the researchers blame on shifting norms due to mainstream media.

The researchers adjusted for both age and the number of sexual partners. They found that those who groomed frequently, as well as those who removed their pubic hair an average of 11 times annually, exhibited a 3.5 to 4-fold increase in STI risk. This includes both human papillomavirus and herpes.

  1. I am amazed by “On each hair follicle, there is a sebaceous gland that releases oils. Once these oils reach the skin and evaporate, they are able to cool the area.” Would you please tell us by how much the area is cooled either as the fraction of a degree by which the temperature is lowered or how many calories/second or watts per square centimeter this cooling mechanism provides? I fear it is basically negligible! Oils evaporate only slowly in most cases and thus are unlikely to cool much and beyond that, I don’t even notice substantial secretion of oil on any hair area, and when little oil evaporates little cooling is produced. Maybe there is sweat supplied in parallel but that is water which does cool strongly per unit of evaporated water, but it is not oil.

  2. while curcumina is readily available in Mexico turmeric is not and curcumina will not dissolve except in oil. How ro prepare the turmeric solution when only oil soluble curcumina is available, please?

  3. Speak for yourself John (Rob). I find the pre-pubescent look to be less attractive, although at my octogenarian time of life, I very seldom get to see the real thing.

  4. One more reason NOT to shave… The “Pubies” are also a natural lubrication mechanism in that when both partners are not shaved the pubic hair functions as a cushion and lubrication against friction. I shaved once long ago and the friction was truly irritating. I couldn’t wait for the little guys down there to grow back.

  5. Personally I feel man gets more excited by looking at the bushy pubic hair (most of the time nice curly too) of women than the fully shaven cund..! Grow my dear gals down below to attract charming men!

  6. Ha! All the women who complain about kissing a dude with a beard or moustache should stop and think. The Brazilian is the best thing to ever happen to dating.

    Nothing quite as big a turn-off as finding a Maine Coon Cat down betwixt a lovely lass’s legs!

  7. Good heavens! If all men felt that way the human race would have died out thousands of years ago, long before razors and wax strips were invented. I think a clean, washed, and fresh downstairs is more desirable than a 12 yr old looking pubis.

  8. The classification of the figure used in point #1 about STI, reasoning says that individual excessive into sexual behavior or “dangerous” sexual behavior involving multiple partners have higher rate of thinking too much about their genitals and hence the figures are too high. Seeing the place and make up of hair, there is no reason to thing that hair have any anti-viral, anti-fungal or anti-bacterial properties that would reduce risk.

  9. I joined this discussion and wrote a lengthy reply with reasons why shaving or at least de-hairing is nicer and it is not here. Is this really a discussion or just a one-sided point of view? Less hair is nicer for oral sex and long pubic hair around the vaginal opening can be painfull for both during sex as it gets dragged along. A smooth area around the vagina is so much nicer!

  10. That’s of course only in your mind…. which is a bit of worry. The fact that you are even thinking that I find very creepy indeed.

  11. No, they don’t, I don’t know where people get that idea from
    and that would be creepy. It is interesting that only those men who prefer the bush seem to have that point of view, which makes me wonder….
