AIM: Pubic hair grooming is a common practice in the United States and coincides
with prevalence of grooming-related injuries. Men who have sex with men (MSM)
groom more frequently than men who have sex with women (MSW). We aim to
characterize the influence of sexual orientation and sexual role on grooming
behavior, injuries, and infections in men in the United States. METHODS: We
conducted a nationally representative survey of noninstitutionalized adults aged
18-65 residing in the United States. We examined the prevalence and risk factors
of injuries and infections that occur as a result of personal grooming. RESULTS:
Of the 4,062 men who completed the survey, 3,176 (78.2%) report having sex with
only women (MSW), 198 (4.9%) report sex with men (MSM), and 688 (16.9%) report
not being sexually active. MSM are more likely to groom (42.5% vs. 29.0%,
P?0.001) and groom more around the anus, scrotum, and penile shaft compared
with MSW. MSM receptive partners groom more often (50.9% vs. 26.9%, P?=?0.005)
and groom more for sex (85.3% vs. 51.9%, P?0.001) compared with MSM insertive
partners. MSM report more injuries to the anus (7.0% vs. 1.0%, P?0.001), more
grooming-related infections (7.0% vs. 1.0%, P?0.001) and abscesses (8.8% vs.
2.5%, P?=?0.010), as well as lifetime sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
(1.65 vs. 1.45, P?=?0.038) compared with MSW. More receptive partners report
grooming at the time of their STI infection (52.2% vs. 14.3%, P?0.001) compared
with insertive partners. CONCLUSIONS: Sexual orientation, and in particular
sexual role, may influence male grooming behavior and impact grooming-related
injuries and infections. Anogenital grooming may put one at risk for an STI.
Healthcare providers should be aware of different grooming practices in order to
better educate safe depilatory practices (i.e., the use of electric razors for
anogenital grooming) in patients of all sexual orientations.
