For people with penises, oral sex usually involves stimulating the head (the ‘glans’) and the shaft of the penis. It can also include using the mouth to touch the testicles, thighs and anus. For people with vulvas, oral sex usually involves stimulating the clitoris, and can also include using the mouth to touch the thighs and anus. Sex should involve ongoing consent that isn’t grudging or manipulated and all parties should feel secure in the knowledge they can stop any time. Pro tip: If you use scissors, disinfect them first. Designate the tool as your official pube cutter. Don’t use it on anything else. For your clipper or trimmer, follow the manufacturer’s directions for keeping it clean. Don’t share it. Shop for bikini line trimmers. 2. Shaving

Maintain good personal hygiene to minimise the risks of transferring bacteria. This is particularly important for analingus. But not all formulas are the same — some texturize while adding shine; others are intended for a matte effect. You've gotta have options, after all.

Chemical depilatories break down hair so it washes away from your skin. Although convenient to use, they can lead to allergic reactions and irritation. Many people are sensitive to these products. Be sure to do a small patch test on your skin before trying on a larger area. Avoid using near the vaginal opening. 5.

"Sprays can also be applied to mid-lengths and ends to give a more sexy, slept-in look." But either way, apply them as a finishing product.

But the stylist has been in the hair game for a long time, way before the bright lights of LA propelled his work (as well as his own profile) to the front and centre of social media. And his approach to fabulous-looking hair is more holistic than one might presume. “Most people know me for my work on ‘the outside’ however achieving red carpet-worthy hair really comes down to the quality,” he tells Bazaar. “Beautiful hair starts from within.” During any sexual union, consent is paramount. This isn’t just about anyone not saying “no”, nor is it something that just happens at the beginning of a union. Sex should involve ongoing consent that isn’t grudging or manipulated. All parties should feel happy and excited, secure in the knowledge that they can stop any time.

A dry texture spray is a spray that provides grit to the hair to aid in styling," explains stylist and owner of New Jersey salon Bella Rococo, Stefanie Savino, who says texture sprays can aid in adding volume, providing support for updos styles, and prepping the hair for curls. Be careful not to go too hard during rough sex play, including groping, grabbing, pinching and hair pulling. Experiment till you understand your strength, your partner’s pain threshold and also to avoid damage. Scalping is never OK. • Scratching
