I have done many Brazilian bikini waxes, I am a licensed cosmetologist. I have never re-dipped the stick and am very clean and careful when I work on a client.

I think it is someones preferance, and if they don’t want any hair what is wrong with that? Going bare does not have anything to do with the porn industry, it is a personal choice that women should be able to make for themselves! I am getting so sick of what the crooked ass government can regulate.

To all the people who think that women are being expoted by waxing their crotches, BE HAIRY! by all means I don’t care have at it, but leave us waxers alone, to the germ-a-phobe people, if your so worried about hygiene do your homework and go to a reputable salon.

“I’ve never met a heterosexual man who gave a second thought to his crotch hair.”

Every guy I ever met has. Which is funny, because I like hairy men, but they refuse to grow their hair out! My boyfriend shaves their because he says it looks disgusting, smells, and makes his penis look small when there is hair. So, perhaps it is just people in my age group…

Also, I agree that this ban is stupid. And I do not shave down there because I feel I have to, it is because I want to. So do not think that I am influenced by the porn industry to do it. Although I do not think that porn is really all that bad (a debate I probably shouldn’t get into at this time).

Natalia, I think we need pictures of this phenomenon. Perhaps some Ukranian dudes in drag shorts? Help a sister out.

Funny you should ask, since I plan on being back in Kiev for the Orthodox Easter. Perhaps I should do an article? Young male swimmers… little shorts…

“I’ve never met a heterosexual man who gave a second thought to his crotch hair.”

Really? I haven’t done any scientific research, but as far as I know, a little trim up top and a shave underneath (at least of the ball and taint region)is relatively common. I know from many ridiculous conversations that I’m certainly not the only one. And the guys I hang around with are pretty far from “metro”.

I have several friends in the spa and beauty industry – and they say that a lot of male athletes do, in fact, wax. Swimmers especially. Maybe not all the way – but a little wax on some menz is not as uncommon as you might think.

Also – check out speedo-wearing cultures. Ukraine’s one, and based on what I hear, waxing among some dudes is getting kinda popular.

@notmandy,

It’s illegal in Massachusetts, too.

I think a lot of guys give more than a second thought to their crotch hair. I have a friend who does waxing at a spa here and I know several hetero dudes who have admitted to some amount of “manscaping” when we have discussed waxing. My sister, who is rather weird, drunkenly told a large group that she demands a hairless crotch area on her men. Her current, serious boyfirend had laser hair removal on his back and shoulders, but I didn’t ask about the crotch. I bought an Emjoi epilator to do my bikini line and my husband uses it more than I do. And not because I asked him to or even want him to. I’d actually rather he just leave my epilator alone.
