Welcome to Thunderdome

Study claims keeping a well manicured genital region leads to STIs (or STDs if you're older).

Let's just get this out of the way, this study is stupid and the conclusions reached are questionable at best.

If you and your partner are exclusive, shave that shit to the root or let it grow to a jungle and your chances of getting something is still zero.

The real conclusion here is that people who have sex more often with more partners are more likely to get a disease.

The study notes that an increase in grooming can simply indicate an increase in sexual partners — which increases the possibility of sexually transmitted infections — as it can be a preparation activity.

This implies that they didn't control for # of partners in determining STD incidence. Which is stupid.

Stupid study. The people who wrote are stupid. The person who wrote the article is retarded.

I want to see the grant proposal that landed them the funding.

If anything, I think this study just confirms what we already knew. After you get married you pretty much quit trying.
