"In news that will definitely make your day, studies show that waxing increases your risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection, reports  MSN. Waxing causes &amp;quot;micro-traumas&amp;quot; to skin and can lead to &amp;quot;deficits in the mucocutaneous barrier&amp;quot; that can protect you from viruses or bacteria, a study in the JAMA Dermatology medical journal finds.  Furthermore, the study offers this: In the United States, women are more likely to groom for reasons that are sexually driven and are more likely to stop grooming when lacking a current sexual partner. Further, pubic hair removal is significantly associated with a greater interest in sex and having a casual sex partner.  \uFEFFSo waxing weakens your mucous membrane, thereby making you more vulnerable to infections at the same time you&amp;#039;re about to make yourselves more vulnerable to them anyway by simply doing it more. So by the transitive property, we are all literally fucked.  Follow Tess on  Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
