New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing.
The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is moving toward a ban on genital waxing altogether after two women reported being injured in their quest for a smooth bikini line.
Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called "Brazilian" bikini waxes; one of the women has filed a lawsuit, according to Jeff Lamm, a spokesman for New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the cosmetology board.
Technically, genital waxing has never been allowed — only the face, neck, abdomen, legs and arms are permitted — but because bare-it-all "Brazilians" weren't specifically banned, state regulators haven't enforced the law.
"The genital area is not part of the abdomen or legs as some might assume," Lamm said.

Full frontal is cool with me.
I guess machete sales will go up.
Agree on both counts.
I'd wager most men who do it are looking for the appearance of enhanced length.
In other words, a 30' tree surrounded by 10' bushes looks a lot shorter than a 25' tree in an open field. LOL
and the gays are screaming “Keep your laws off my body!”
They must be Union members...
To each his/her own, I suppose. I don’t need “Welcome to the Jungle” playing in my head when getting involved in certain activities, nor do I enjoy spontaneous surprise flossing. And stubble is inappropriate for anyone involved in interpersonal contact. Smooth and soft is a real good thing. No making out with Bluto, thankyouverymuch.
A gorilla is one thing, but I was raised on the sexy women in the ‘70s Playboys. But gradually, over time, I saw them devolve from the upside down pyramids to rectangles to landing strips to Hitler moustaches to nada. I was like, “WTF ?!?” It wasn’t sexy. It was creepy and made women look like little girls. Bald ain’t beautiful and it remains a major visceral turn-off for me (just about tied with tattooes on the fairer sex). Besides, from a practical standpoint, it also serves a purpose for cutting down on infections.
Not a governmental concern.
