A He-Wax for Him (Bikini Waxing For "Men")
New York Times ^ | April 10, 2012 | RACHEL FELDER

YEARS after the word “metrosexual” entered the mainstream, there’s nothing eyebrow-raising about men getting a manicure or a facial. Lately though, guys’ grooming has gone one step further, deep into territory that was previously reserved solely for women: bikini waxing.

The below-the-belt treatment — which, just like the women’s version, removes either some or all pubic hair — is becoming increasingly popular, and not just among competitive swimmers or underwear models. “What we’re finding is, it’s everybody,” said Mike Indursky, the president of the Bliss chain of spas, which offers a men’s Brazilian called the Ultimate He-Wax for $125. “It’s the gay community, it’s the straight community, it’s very conservative guys, it’s very liberal guys. All different age groups are coming in. It’s much, much bigger than we ever thought.”

One of the funniest things I ever saw was girlfriend from years past attempt to Brazilian self-wax and get it all in one rip.

She didn’t appreciate my sense of humor.

This is pathetic. Whatever happened to real men? What a bunch of, oh, I can’t even think of the right word.

Reminds me of a gay hairdresser I used to have - he would do something like this. He also used to wrap his body in seaweed or something for some unknown reason. Throw in the lotions and creams and silver toenail polish....he was beyond flaming.

I had to stop going to him because I couldn’t stomach the tales of his little “affairs”. Bleh.

“... not that long ago that women swooned over a hairy bare chested Tom Selleck”

You may be correct, but he's not doing it bare chested anymore. I think those days for him may be over.... : )

Life used to be so much simpler.
The only "wax" a guy got at his barbershop was this...

A procedure probably invented by a pedophile & will probably be covered by Obamacare in the future.

Some men will do anything to make their weiner look bigger...

Since women figured out how long 4 inches actually is, they had to change strategy.

"...It’s much, much bigger than we ever thought.”

Yes, yes it is. But I'm still not getting it dipped in hot wax, thank you very much.

;-D

It won't be long before they will have dresses, make up, and high heel shoes designed for men. As men have allowed themselves to be more and more feminized, no wonder that there are more and more lesbians. If I was a female, I would not want one of these feminized sissies either.

Well, technically they don’t dip “it” in hot wax. The hot wax is applied to the hair and then a linen type cloth placed over the wax. Then.. RIP... off comes the hair (roots and all). I am going to assume that your mind is still not changed!!

If other husbands are like mine, this procedure would have to be done under general anesthesia.

If the mister ever did any of this— he would need to move to the sofa. What ever happened to the trend of manly men?! That is sexy. I don’t want a boy or a woman!

Nothing new. I have been hearing this for a lifetime ;-)
