New study on JAMA - "Prevalence of Pubic Hair Grooming–Related Injuries and Identification of High-Risk Individuals in the United States" published July 26.

Key Points
Question What are the prevalence and clinical correlates of injuries among US adults who groom pubic hair?

Findings In this nationally representative cross-sectional study of 5674 adults who reported pubic hair grooming, grooming-related injury was reported by 1430 (weighted prevalence, 25.6%). Degree of grooming was an independent risk factor for injury; waxing may prevent repetitive injuries.

Meaning The present data may help to identify injury-prone groomers and lead to safer grooming practices.

Not so good ways to groom:

In particular, lying on one’s back while grooming and having someone else groom one’s pubic hair were associated with injuries that required medical attention. Lying on one’s back may make visualization more challenging and thus predispose the groomer to injury. Having a partner perform one’s grooming eliminates a self-tactile sensation, which may predispose to injury. Alternatively, a grooming partner may encourage the injured to seek medical attention.

From the conclusion:

Pubic hair grooming is a widespread practice, and grooming-related injuries occur in approximately 25% of individuals who groom. Laceration is the most common form of injury. Grooming frequency and degree of grooming (ie, removing all pubic hair) are independent risk factors for injury and high-frequency injuries.

Nintendo has gone too fucking far this time!

I gotta good feeling this game will be GOTY material for 2017.

 

[Parallacs]

It will be cutting it close.

 

[JP]

This could almost be a press release for a new Uno game.

 

[Neith]

Hell no, we groom each other head to toe and then take long baths. In fact, we don't even play games anymore. No one does. We just buy them, talk about them, and groom.

 

[Salty Rice]

Thought this was another fucked up Steam game.

Who does grooming while lying on their back?

When I first started doing it i read a guide that said you should go into the bedroom after you shower and do it laying down. A different guide said to go against the grain right away (you should do multiple passes if you dont hate yourself).

I just do it while standing up in the shower like a normal person.

You got to have a ceiling mirror if you lie down.

I thought this was a Yakuza 0 substory to look forward to in an upcoming chapter.

 

[AAK]

I do it while showering. 3-4 years clean with no injuries.

 

[EBE]

How can I blame Phil Spencer for this?

I remember grooming my pubic hair for the first time when I was 17.

I haven't done it since lol

 

[criesofthepast]

I once Nair'd my balls as a kid. Burnt a hole in my sac and I could see the ball. Don't do that. But after the hole healed up and scab fell off, left my balls hairless and smooth as egg shells.

 

[Supha_Volt]

Why would you be laying down to trim your pubes?? Are you laying on the bathroom floor or in the bathtub? I sure as hope you're not trimming on your bed...

 

[John Dunbar]

i've snipped my balls couple times.

That's enough GAF for today. Peace out.

 

[DontTouchMe]

This study honestly feels like a complete waste of time and resources.

Hah, exactly my train of thought. Right after "this is a good one, the first few replies should be good". Which they really weren't, buy hey.

 

[ascii42]

Have yet to trim or shave down there. Seeing the word "laceration" in an article about it reminds me of why.
