[Closed] Intimate Waxing

Funny thread, enjoyed reading this.

But isn't waxing a bit early 00's?

A best friend of mine (oh yes, a woman) plucks her "area" with tweezers.. just a trim not a full on 10yr old. She's said there is a sensation equal measure of pleasure and pain.

Try tweezers, OP.

And I applaud the OP's willing to please.

I find the hairless look really unattractive and what's more, life is way to short to be spending time constantly shaving or waxing to avoid stubble.

council - because thats what adults look like? I don't fancy prepubescent children and this fad for removing pubes is exactly that - its about power and making women both subservient and childlike

To be honest, that comment is small-minded, judgemental and rather insulting to the huge proportion of the population, male and female, who remove hair from any part of their body, whether it's genitals, legs, armpits, backs or face!

It has nothing whatsoever to do with being attracted to a younger or prepubescent body! Pubic hair is NOT the defining factor in sexual taste that defines whether you're a paedophile or not!

I think your attitude probably says a lot more about your sexual hang-ups than anything else...

A lot of men and women with healthy, active sex lives prefer hair-free partners as it makes certain sex acts FAR more enjoyable. I prefer to be hair free as it's more comfortable. Women prefer to be hair free as it increases sensitivity and feels nicer.

its about power and making women both subservient and childlike

there's some massive virtue signallers on this forum...

As pointed out it was a request from the OPs wife, and I've been with a couple of women that like it as well.

My ex used to wax purely for hygene reasons and the fact she swam a lot - she felt more comfortable like that.

So OP, do we have a decision?

A pal's GF reportedly said she prefers doing BJs on him when he is freshly trimmed. So, of course, he makes every effort to ensure he is box fresh

It's purely a fashion choice and nothing whatsoever to do with hygiene.
Hygiene is about washing and not about hair.

Yep, as mentioned above you are [i]more[/i] likely to develop various STDs and fanny fungi if your crotch looks like it was made by Mattel.

Or is it that those people who can be arsed to give their groins a bit of a spit and polish are doing so because they are hoping their goods and chattels will be in action with person/persons unknown in the not too distant future whilst those 20 plus years into a monogamous relationship might as well let the weeds grow over for all the action they are likely to see.

My OH says it 'feels' fresher, cleaner and more comfortable, so I suppose that could be classed as 'hygiene reasons'.

She doesn't parade it around in public, so I wouldn't say it's a fashion thing.

So OP, do we have a decision?

The jury is still out... I'm a little curious, and the benefits seem to be mounting up but I'm not sure I can face more of that pain!

Having said that, I've never seen my OH laugh so much (at my reaction, not my genitals), so I don't think she'll give up asking!

Yep, as mentioned above you are more likely to develop various STDs

As above, the incidence of STDs are due to increased sexual activity. Those that aren't getting any (like TJ) don't feel the need to prune their pubes.

Me and Mrs Dingo tried shaving us about 20 years ago,I found it very offputting as I'm used to women having pubic hair,and children not.It took 2 weeks for the very itchy stubble to grow out,and we both thought it was a waste of time.Now that we're older (62 and 52) we still do what we have always done,wash beforehand and enjoy the proceedings.Hygiene has nothing to do with it,as soap and water suffices,I think it is a reflection of the porn people now grow up with.

So you're telling us that having taken your clothes off, you're then being refused sex because you haven't shaved off your pubes? That's never happened to me, and anyone with such a weird hang-up isn't someone I'd be wanting to have a relationship with.

Not me. I'm in the 20yr plus relationship gang - refused sex is just par for the course irrespective of pube status. But I'd be amazed if you were to take a snap shot at 3am on a Saturday morning of all the people having unprotected sex with a new partner if the pubeless percentage was not significantly higher than the national average. Not least because most would be under 30 and pubeless is just considered standard to that age group (so I am told, no first hand experience since I too was under 30) in the way furry is normal to the current 40 plus age group.

Mrs Feet has a butterfly tattoo just below her bellybutton. When she lets her ladygarden grow it looks like it has been startled from a bush.

You may be right, but I have no intention of doing a google search! I'm pretty sure though that any decent study would be correcting for that sort of thing.

I destroyed my virtual reputation and did 😀

[b]The study didn’t prove a clear cause and effect between pubic hair grooming and STIs, only that the two are connected[/b]. Nevertheless, causation is “plausible” according to authors E Charles Osterberg and his colleagues, “because the act of grooming with razors or shavers causes epidermal microtears, which may permit epithelial penetrance by bacterial or viral STIs”. (Translation: if you’re grooming your pubic hair, you might end up cutting yourself which could make you more vulnerable to getting an STI.)

But there are other possible explanations. Some people might have chosen to remove their pubic hair after discovering that they have an STI.[b] It’s also possible that people who groom their pubic hair have different sex lives from those who don’t – either having more frequent sex or engaging in more risky sexual behaviors. Weekly sexual activity was more common among those who groomed their pubic hair than those who didn’t.[/b]

Seems like a bit of bobbins research then if they can't disassociate the two.

This is true. We might as well postulate that shavers have lower than average intelligence, which means they're less likely to use protection...

I reckon we could also conclude that shaving your pubes increases your chances

I can categorically tell you that when "dating" (read that as getting laid) women actively state they prefer clean shaven or well trimmed.

Whilst I'm sure most of us are secret manscapers to some degree, however a lass asking me to wax would definitely be a red card offence, unless she were a multi-millionaire and/or had a dad who owned a large brewery.

Surely to be a hipster it should be a small brewery?

You are making a huge assumption that hair-free automatically equals clean and hygienic.
If hair is un hygienic why not shave your head?

Just looks less hairy to me. Then again I equate sparkly with clean. If you're going to run your nads through one of those bowling ball polishers after shaving them then you might be on to something. If not, then you're just going to look like an action man toy or a sufferer of dick alapetia.

I'm not, I've not even considered if pubes effect hygiene. Does it? No idea myself. I'm just saying those that tidy up are more sexually active than those that don't in the belief that it looks better. And that has just as much a chance of effecting incidence of STDs as anything else.

If hair is un hygienic why not shave your head?

Interesting analogy. I do shave my head as a matter of fact. No idea if it is more hygienic or not but I do it in the vain attempt to make myself look better. Possibly closer to the pube shavers than I had previously recognised.

I like hairy men! I much prefer Mr Pea's hairy winter legs than his summer shaved roadie legs.

As a triathlete in the late 90's when racing in budgie smugglers was a thing we all shaved high. I remember getting out of the pool and into the shower with one well know triathlete. He pulled off his trunks down his super smooth legs to reveal a perfect super hairy version of his trunks in thick matted black hair underneath. Knowing where to stop shaving was always tricky!

Ironically shaving the pubic area was once associated with being 'clean' as it reduced the chances of lice. However 'Merkins' were apparently introduced to cover up the genital scarring caused by STDs.

I don't have a problem with body hair on women - I think it's unrealistic to expect someone to be completely devoid of all body hair - hopefully they've got better things to do with their life and disposable income.

A number of female friends don't shave their legs in winter and a few have admitted to not shaving their armpits - often due to skin irritation with antiperspirants etc But they do feel under pressure to conform to perceived social 'norms'.

Years ago a lady doctor friend once told me that there was a correlation between pubic grooming and social-ecomonic class in her GP catchment area:

Lower class women would be neatly shaved
Middle class women would be trimmed
Wealthly horse-y type landowners would be completely bushy & unkempt

Despite shaving my face for 35+ years I still cut myself and get ingrowing hairs - I wouldn't trust myself to shave 'Steven and the Twins' on a regular basis ... I did this before I had the snip and it wasn't pretty. Don't see any problem with trimming/grooming though. Surely it's no different from having a haircut or trimming unwanted nose or ear hair.

how much of it is 'the optical inch'

With the extra inch? Speak for yourself...

Every little helps!! 😀

She's not shut up about it, I suspect I'm going to have to let her "let rip"... I'm starting to think I might have a sado-masochist for a life partner...

She's female - of course she's a sado-masochist......

OP - first off, don't use waxing strips at home! That's not what they're designed for and it will hurt. A lot. Fair chance you'll take a layer or two of skin off too...

Go to a pro who specialises in male intimate waxing - loads about. They'll use hot wax rather than strips.

I've done it on and off for a few years now, initially because I was getting a lot of chaffing and rashes when cycling regardless of what shorts / chamois cream combo I used so thought I'd give the smooth look a try. Definite sensitivity benefits in the bedroom too!

Ears, nose, back but no crack for me.

As such, the Mrs took her epilator to my back last night... No one likes a hairy back.

On the shoulders it hurt but was ok but down by the kidney area ... OMG !!

Still she got to the parts I cant reach on my own with the beard trimmer and I'm now all smooth and lovely 😉

I can see the job centre advert now...

"Do you like to be up shit creek without a follicle?

Want to spend your days gazing at the stars?

Well, it's taken 4 pages - and whilst I'm happy to have caused a little amusement and ridicule along the way, we finally have a sensible answer! Thanks Dash!

One of the main reasons for my curiosity was the issue of cycling comfort... Trimmed/shaven is far more comfortable for me than full-on caveman, and whilst I don't suffer from chafing, the skin can become a little sore in certain places when stubble is at a certain length.

So, jiggy-jiggy reasons aside (for now), are there any drawbacks (sorry, dreadful choice of words) from a cycling point of view?

as noted before the ladies of BC have been ordered to go 'au naturel' because even done properly it causes damage to the skin / epidermis and can lead to irritation and infections. Don't see why that would be different for men.

Full jungle FTW.
