protection and shaving

[shmeho.livejournal.com]

so i was just reading around on the scarleteen website, and it was saying what sort of protection you need for different sexual acts. like latex GLOVES for manual sex? who does that? i guess my question is, is that kind of stuff really necessary? like i could understand in some circumstances it is. ie. the guy is a manwhore. but if he's not? 

also, wouldn't shaving everything off prevent certain diseases? (i saw something on pubic lice...ew) or it's atleast easier to see and signs of abnormalty. what is your take on this?

i love this community : )
