Bikini Wax - Painful?

[kenny]

I love natural body hair.
I hate men shaving body hair.
That's like burning 100 dollar bills because you've been convinced $100 bills are disgusting.

And why should women be held to a less-natural standard than men?

IMO this anti-hair thing is just more corporate American brainwashing so you'll feel like shit about your natural body so you'll buy their products and services to once again make you feel okay about yourself.
... same as the multi-billion-dollar BE SKINNY, OR ELSE! industry.

IOW

Rise above it.
Embrace your natural self.

You're partially correct. The woman who waxed me has an equal number of male and female clients. The males get their dangly bits waxed because their women don't want hair caught in their teeth....

Not surprising, considering the profit-motivated since-birth brainwashing that natural hair is filthy and disgusting.

I don't think it's filthy and disgusting. I just don't want to floss with it.

Sorry Matata, not trying to get personal or accusatory.

I'm talking about profit-motivated mass social engineering that I oppose.

I know Kenny, I was trying to pull your leg and bring some irreverent humor into the thread.

That visual....

I hear that GYNs are trying to push back on the whole waxing, Brazilian movement. They say pubic hair is actually a bacteria barrier so is beneficial.

ETA: Waxing isn't very painful to me, but my doctor said I have a high pain threshold. However, there is one spot where I have to really steel myself

Sorry!

Spock-itis.

 

[Austina]

I just nearly choked laughing

 

[Jambalaya]

Kenny, I take it you're not going to book yourself a sack, back, and crack wax anytime soon, huh?

Maybe it's not just about societal pressures and corporate America. Maybe my friend was just feeling horny and wanted to feel soft panty material brushing against her bare skin. I'm just guessing.

 

[kenny]

Hair on the sack, back & crack ? ...
oh... OH ... OH ... OH ... Oh crap! I just ............. ..............

... oh never mind.

 

[Matata]

I asked about the mechanics of waxing a sack considering the looseness of the material. The waxer said she just had to be sure to pull the skin very taut before yanking off the wax. She also said some of her clients had the insides of their labia waxed. I was shocked to the point of needing an extra dirty vodka martini with 4 giant olives at the thought of hair growing on the inside of the labia. How cruel thou art, mother nature.

And, Kenny, if you're still reading this...the impact of that corporate brainwashing is powerful indeed to cause women and men to kneel on a table with their arses in the air and other bits and pieces dangling and flopping about while thrust in the face of a stranger while said stranger applies warm wax to cracks.

 

[Jambalaya]

I don't know about the societal part - obviously, it has a LOT to answer for, but not everything. I feel that if I were a cavewoman, I'd still be dunking my hair in the stream and trying to shake it out nice. I mean, animals groom, don't they?

ETA: And I really don't think that people do things they don't want to do. I don't think people focus on diet and exercise when they do not want to, in order to please society. That's way too much effort if it isn't something that you actually want. They do it because they like the benefits, such as better health and a wider choice of clothes, to name two. I love skincare because it's a relaxing routine and I like my skin better clearer. I would not do a committed skincare routine if I did not want to do it for myself. I think you should give people a little more credit, Kenny. Human beings are very intelligent and I'm not sure they're as easily brainwashed as you think. Perhaps some people get waxed because THEY genuinely think they look sexier that way or feel sexier that way, or any other reason that makes THEM want to do it. I don't think they get waxed if they don't want to.

Labia majora, not minora, I presume.

I've often thought corn rows would look fetching except they'd be too bumpy.

I assumed so but didn't ask. The thought of either one gives me the heebeejeebies.

 

[Jambalaya]

I meant head hair shaking out nice!!

You gotta keep up Jambalaya, we're on the other end of the corporeal spectrum.

 

[Jambalaya]

C-corporeal spectrum? OK, I need to look that up.

 

[Jambalaya]

I tried.

 

[Matata]

Corporeal = relating to a person's body, especially as opposed to their spirit.
Spectrum = used to classify something, or suggest that it can be classified, in terms of its position on a scale between two extreme or opposite points.
We're talking about butts not heads, although some people can be buttheads, but we're not talking about them. I imagine a butthead would be especially interested in waxing.

Some places in Asia are actually doing hair plugs in the pubic region. Apparently, some from these cultures feel that if you have no hair down there, you are perceived as not fertile. So, there is a whole industry of hair plugs for women. And here, were stripping it off. (To emulate the "movie stars"?)

I'm not even kidding.

Hey, maybe we could export our extraneous hair

I was thinking the same thing. Sort of like the Locks of Love program. It could be called Hair for the Bare.

[Queenie60]

Geeeee! I had my brows waxed today and thought that was tough. What's the point of waxing your private parts????
