A He-Wax for Him (Bikini Waxing For "Men")

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.”

“... this procedure would have to be done under general anesthesia”.

Or at gunpoint?!! LOL!

[Charles Martel]

Well, technically they don’t dip “it” in hot wax.

Oh, I know... I've heard the process described by my wife. Describing it clinically just isn't as entertaining.

I suppose that if your a Police officer,Paramedic or a physician doing that might just be a great idea becaus there are people out in society that they come into contact daily with that have No clue what a bath is and these creatures are carrying these things called lice that will search for a convinient new place to reside.

I’ll tell you this.I came into contact with a person like that and I itched for hours later.

At least if you got rid of the brush down south that would be one less problem,I guess.

Restraints, at the very least :-)

I understand from a lady friend that the term of art is “manscaping.” I suspect that waxing is the absurd extreme, and conventional trimming (”brush clearing on the south forty”) is more the norm for gents who feel the need for some grooming.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

[RichInOC]

Oh, HELL no! What? Putting a razor blade down there isn’t scary enough?

[RichInOC]

I saw a beauty salon ad for the Brazilian Blowout and thought to myself, “Why would women want the hair down there blow-dried straight?”

Maybe in your world, lady. In most places, it's considered to be gayer than Richard Simmons in a lavender jumpsuit singing show tunes on a parade float.

Um... Aren’t men supposed to be hairy?

Maybe they need to remove the hair to find it.

Men should be hairy.
