I believe in the gay community it is the combination of this shaving, plus other activities that is leading to the infections.
Manscaping?
Sounds like alot of work.. I hate shaving as it is, and I have a five o clock shadow at 3pm. I'd hate to see the rest of my body have a five o clock shadow. (Plus, when I'm 55 and stop shaving, I'll be a sasquatch!)
Waxing is the way to go, and has the added benefits of needing to be done less and less as you go along.
