A recent study in Sexually Transmitted Infections found that grooming down there at some point doubles your likelihood of getting an STI, and doing so 12 times or more per year quadruples your changes. Now, it's possible that people who are more susceptible to STIs in the first place are more likely to trim, shave, or wax their bushes. But ob-gyn Jennifer Gunter told NPR that these rituals can tear your skin, providing more ways for STIs to be transmitted. So, if you must groom, it's probably best not to do it right before sex.
