Bad: intimate hair removal increases STD cases by 80%

It is so common for Brazilian women to completely shed their pubic hair when shaving that, in gringa, this model is called “Brazilian hair removal”. If you adhere to this trend, we have not-so-nice news: Apparently removing all the hair from the intimate region is not good for your health.

The statement has to do with a study by researchers at the University of California and also at the University of Texas. They found that those who do not keep close intimacy have more incidences of diseases such as herpes and boring.

The survey was conducted by interview with 7, 500 Americans aged 18 to 65 years. The results showed that those who completely remove pubic hair more than 11 times a year are the people who suffered the most with some type of STD.

Shave or not shave: that is the question

It is too early to say that total hair removal really influences people's sexual health, but some connections between one thing and another may indeed exist. In the case of hair removal, this procedure can cause skin microlesions, which increase the risk of infection, especially for skin diseases.

Another danger of hair removal is sharing devices such as razors and shavers. This kind of material should be for your individual use, dear reader, so keep that in mind when you shovel next time.

Research has also found that people who shave everything tend to have more sexual partners and may eventually have unprotected sex. In the middle of 2016, with health outlets distributing condoms for free, there is no excuse for that, huh!
