Crabs
Not an infection - more of an infestation! Crabs (also known as pubic lice) are very easy to seize but also to get rid of! They are transmitted most commonly through sex, though any close body contact provides an opportunity. They can also be transmitted by sharing towels, clothing and bed linen, though this is much less likely.
Symptoms
Look for small jet insects; they possess crab like claws and cling to pubic hair. Although crabs are particularly fond of pubic hair they can also live in any coarse hair (armpits, eye-brows/lashes, chest hair). They are big enough to see, although because they live in pubic hair they often go unnoticed.
Treatment
Easily treated with a lotion that can be bought straightforward from a chemist. All towels, bedding and clothing should be washed when treatment begins.
Prevention
Sadly condoms won’t provide the kind of protection you need from crabs, though a body bag might. This is rarely a good see when out and about however. Given that they’re easily dealt with and pretty much benign (other than organism incredibly itchy), they’re not worth worrying about a fantastic deal.
A Gay Man’s Guide To Manscaping
By Bobby Box
Body hair can be a polarizing aesthetic in the gay community. In a huge way, body hair represents our identity. If you identify as a bear, you likely contain body hair. If you recognize as a twink, you’re probably smooth. The very way we categorize each other stems from how we manscape. No matter where you fit in the gay ecosystem, you should always be doing some form of manscaping. We gays are a civilized people, not primitive cavemen, and our pubes should indicate that.
Research from travel dating site Miss Travel found 58 percent of gay men fancy their men furry, whereas women like their men fully ‘scaped (added that one for the bisexuals out there). However, three years prior, gay cruising site Manhunt surveyed 27,000 of their members and found that while gays do like their men with some hair, there are certain areas we like shorn more than others. Most important being: the shaft (21 percent), the pubes (19 percent), the balls (18 percent), the taint (12 percent) and the hole (12 percent).
But be careful, shaving your no-no parts can be hazardous. A study published in JAMA Dermatology found that, of their 7,50
Here’s What Men Are Doing With Their Pubes These Days
Let’s start with the stereotypes: Waxing and grooming your pubes is mostly a gay thing; unbent men are about as aware of their pubes needing a tune-up as they are of their feelings. But it turns out neither of these things is true — a unused study finds that men are close to keeping pace with women in terms of tending to the hair down there, and according to professional waxers and grooming experts, the men who flock to pube grooming services are getting straighter and younger by the minute.
First, the study, published recently in JAMA Dermatology: Out of 7,500 adults surveyed, researchers found that roughly 67 percent of men (compared with 85 percent of women) have attempted grooming down there in some capacity. While many accept on this task at home — and the study looked at injuries that landed them in the emergency room as a result — about 4 percent sought out professional services. Interestingly, about 9 percent of those surveyed asked a boyfriend to help with personal pube grooming, and a curious 0.5 percent asked a friend for assistance. (Hey, can you rip this hair out of my butthole, please? I’ll share my Netflix passw
The Manscaping Guide to Healthy, Well-Groomed Pubic Hair
There’s no right or wrong way to handle your pubic hair. Stats show that men are split right down the middle when it comes to pube grooming, so it’s really all about personal preference.
Some men leave completely pube-less, while others just retain it trimmed. Some men don’t remunerate any attention to it beyond keeping it clean — and either way, it’s totally okay!
Remember that not everyone’s pubic hair is created equal. Your bush is going to look alternative than one online or in the locker room — like the stop of your hair, genes and overall health play a role in hair growth and quality.
If your partner or someone close to you is pressuring you to accomplish something to your pubes you’re uncomfortable with, let them know. It’s your body, and no one besides your doctor (and only when something is threatening your health!) should ever narrate you what to do with them.
Grow ‘em proud, trim ‘em down — it’s up to you!
