'Crabs' Now Endangered Thanks to Bikini Waxing (80% of US college students remove pub hair)
(Newser) – Will we soon see a "Save the Pubic Lice" campaign? The groin-dwelling insects, more commonly known as "crabs" because of their shape, are now basically an endangered species—and doctors think the popularity of bikini waxing may be to blame (er, thank). In Australia, no women have been seen with crabs at Sydney's main sexual health clinic since 2008, and male cases have fallen 80% over the past 10 years. "Pubic grooming has led to a severe depletion of crab louse populations," says a medical entomologist. "You can see an environmental disaster in the making for this species."
Of course, no one's really mourning the loss. Another medical entomologist notes that, in this case, "habitat destruction is a good thing." So-called Brazilian waxes, in particular, are seen as contributing to the downfall of pubic lice, since nearly all the pubic hair—the habitat, in this case—is removed in that procedure. All in all, more than 80% of US college students remove some or all of their pubic hair these days, Bloomberg reports. It's arguably a nicer way of dealing with the crabs problem, since the typical treatment is a topical insecticide.

I'm pretty sure crab lice are thriving at the DUmp.
But it's interesting to consider what would happen if the moonbats got them put on the endangered species list.
-
We need to halt all drilling until we save the crab!
-
There's a project for DU bug guy mike c!
-
Deforestation strikes again.
-
DUmmies need to line up and offer to provide habitat for the endangered crabs :stoner:
-
This and how to defraud the government are two things that I would take the DUchebags as experts in.

Question, perhaps a naive one.
The article states that "80% of American college students remove some or all of their hair" down there.
Why?

It's the easiest way to get rid of crabs?

It's the fad, Coach.

I see what you did. :rotf:

The old remedy was to shave half the pubic hair, set fire to the other half, and stab the little buggers with an ice pick when they ran out of the flames........(http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/panic.gif)

From now on when I see mention of the "Brazilian Rain Forest" I won't know if the DUmmies are talking about the one in South America or the one below the belly button.

Yeh, it makes women look like girls and makes boys think their scholongs are bigger

Yeah, the first part of that is what creeps me out about it.

I really don't think a grown woman's body can ever be mistaken for a little girls hair or not. Hair is not what makes a woman a woman. Plus it's a false premise to begin with considering grown women also have leg and underarm hair too. Just a wee bit of inconsistency there unless one is a hippie or French. Both? ;)
-

So grown women have no other distinguishing features other then hairy cooches?

I didn't say that there weren't any other distinctions, just that that one I don't care for, so it's kind of a dumb question. Shave it, sculpt it, or get gang tats on it if you want, it doesn't matter to me since I'll never see it. Wouldn't a grown man wearing a diaper but otherwise normal-looking creep you out?
-

Really? My ex-wife and my girlfriend now both kept and keep theirs like that and I never mistook either of them for little girls! I think alot of folks do it for a number of reasons having nothing to do with some pedophillic fantasy. I understand if its not for you but I really dont think it has anything to do with either wanting to look like or wanting a little girl.

:lmao: So a woman shaving her pelvic region is right up there with either a scat freak or a guy with a diaper/infant fetish? :rotf: Come on DT isnt that apples and oldsmobiles? :rotf:
-
It's just a passing style, like the culottes basketball players wear these days.

I'm with toast. Apple and oranges there. If shaving other areas of a woman's body is not creepy to you then that shouldn't be either. A grown woman's hair naturally grows full in those places too. That's the fair comparison so the issue is yours if you have an issue with one and not the other. I'm not the one with the consistency issue here nor is shaving like this some kind of extreme sexual deviation but nice try. I'm not the one being fanatical here; I merely pointed out that a grown woman has other distinguishing factors and most grown women also shave other area of their bodies in a similar fashion and it doesn't cause such a bluster. Tits don't shrink to childlike proportion because a cooch is shaved. The area itself doesn't revert to that of an immature child. The woman doesn't become less aggressive and childlike.
Put that issue aside most women I know who shave do it for the same reason they shave other areas of their body. It just is a personal grooming issue and nothing more. Most gals I know did not and do not do it at the behest of their sexual partners so there goes that too.

No, no I don't.
Never mind.

Yup. And I was in Grad School when I saw it. I later found out the back story which was probably even more troubling.

You have a hairless one don't you? :pokingpoop:

Man, who knew this was such an emotionally charged issue? To me it's kinda like anything else...an individual preference, like tattoos or wild hair color or playing "naughty nurse" (or "knotty nurse" if you're on a ship like Pammy was). Some people are going to think it's weird & disgusting and other people are gonna think it's wonderful. Either way, you shouldn't really care. To each his own and all! Just so long as we don't make it a poll stickied on the top of some board.

Well, the comparison is actually a lot more apt than you and toast want to admit - a single, changeable sexual appearance characteristic adopted by choice in both cases - but thanks for the directive, Fraulein Gruppenführer. However, since I don't have to personally deal with your own choices in grooming or body art and never will, it really doesn't matter damn to either one of us, so I recommend a chill pill. Your opinion of what I should find attractive or unattractive will receive all the full consideration it is due.

Okay, that's funny right there! I grow my hair all winter (my hair grows REALLY fast and is down to almost my butt by the end of spring), get it cut all summer and then start all over in the fall so I can donate to Locks of Love (I have a niece who had a rare form of brain cancer...she's one of only a handful of people who have survived past age 18...and lost her hair more than once during treatment). But really, I didn't think they'd need anything that curly...

Brave woman! I wouldn't let my husband down there with a razor blade. Evidently you can buy stencils (http://www.shavehaven.com/pubic-hair-stencil-kit.html), though. Tried doing the waxing thing once with an at home kit, damn that hurt.
