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.”

[PJ-Comix]

I wonder what the original Jimmy Hoffa would have thought about this.

[traditional1]

It’s called the “Obama Hairstyle”

[Dr. Sivana]

Keep off my junk!

[PJ-Comix]

PING!

[grobdriver]

Ouch.

[Jonty30]

oh come on.

You’ll be a new man.

[aruanan]

You’ll be a new man.

Or look like an overgrown baby.

[JimmyMc]

No pictures, please!!!

[laker_dad]

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

[muir_redwoods]

“What we’re finding is, it’s everybody,”

I can personally attest, not everybody. I don't know about you guys but...

[freeangel]

LOL Do you have any coupons for this?

[Doogle]

All different age groups are coming in. It’s much, much bigger than we ever thought.”

..he said with glee as he bounced up and down like a 7 yr old female who discovered eight barbie dolls left to her care

[waxer1]

I only charge 85.00 for a man’s brazilian. 125.00 Wow

[BigCinBigD]

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

I’ll take your word for it Mike...

[waxer1]

Try it you may like it.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I can understand men wanting hair taken off their backs, but this is ridiculous. Maybe I’m getting too old, but this is not manly. Its not that long ago that women swooned over a hairy bare chested Tom Selleck...

[PJ-Comix]

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

Including Weiner.

[detective]

“his male clients are submitting to pressure from their partners. “The vast majority say they’re doing it because their wife or their girlfriend told them to do it,” he said. “The wives bring them,” saying “If I’m going to do it, you better do it as well.””

Liberals are not only weak and unable to have sex with women, when they do get a chance the unattractive liberal women make them get a bikini wax first.

[PJ-Comix]

The worst part is if a He-Waxed guy gets into an accident and gets laughed at by the paramedics.

[PJ-Comix]

Will John Edwards be allowed He-Waxings in prisons?

[Misterioso]

Obviously, you don’t know much about paramedics.

[Rebelbase]

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.

[JudyinCanada]

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.

[momtothree]

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

Not that long ago?!! Tom Selleck is still “swoon” worthy!!

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Will John Edwards be allowed He-Waxings in prisons?"

Since he will most likely be someone's prison b#@$^& I'm sure that he'll be required to have a he waxing by his man...

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Tom Selleck is still “swoon” worthy!!"

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

[Tainan]

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

[Track9]

What will you do for a Klondike bar..

[FES0844]

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

[submarinerswife]

Men bikini waxing? That is so gay.

[submarinerswife]

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.

[Charles Martel]

"...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

[sport]

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.

[momtothree]

“... I’m still not getting it dipped in hot wax...”

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!!

[Petruchio]

I am not seeing a Happy Ending here . . .

[LadyBuck]

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

What’s that old joke:

Do you know why women cannot do math?

Because all their lives they have been told that this:

is six inches!

[Chickensoup]

Hmmmmm. that didn’t work

was supposed to be a three inch line.

HTML eludes me.

[Irenic]

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!

[School of Rational Thought]

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

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

[momtothree]

“... 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.

[puppypusher]

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.

[LadyBuck]

“Or at gunpoint?!! LOL!”

Restraints, at the very least :-)

[Atlas Sneezed]

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 was reminded of this comic (NSFW, in a NSFW comic strip):

"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?”
