Males' experience of waxing?

[Pampelmousse]

I recently had a number conversations with a gentleman who has been a dedicated naturist as well as being a nude model for many years but has kept his entire body completely hairless by waxing. He goes to a beauty salon every few weeks for the treatment. He says that the result is well worth the pain that is involved although he has also said the pain is now considerably less of an issue than it was when he started. He told me that after a few sessions the lady was so accustomed to seeing him that she even dispensed with her disposable gloves! What intrigues me is firstly his total lack of embarrassment when being handled intimately by a lady and secondly the feelings of the beautician who is prepared to provide this service for a man. While I believe that no man should be deprived of this service if he so desires it, it is surely a weird situation. Do any smoothie members have any thoughts on their experience of this?

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

I'm not completely hairless. Far from it! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif But I have had some waxing done just to tidy up my back and shoulders. It's really not as bad as you'd expect -- about like pulling off a bandaid. Actually, removing EKG leads hurt more.

For anything below the belt, though, I might agree with Fuzzy: OUCH!

I try to stay as hairfree as possible with the combinations of a disposable razor and electric but have not braved the wax yet. I can see waxing legs, arms, chest and even the pubic area above your penis but can you have your testicles waxed?

[Natureisone]

Hi i used to have all my pubic area waxed every 2months or so by a lady and she didnt mind it all.I was naked the whole time of the waxing.I felt ok with it and so did she,it hurts abit the first time but after that you get numb to it.She left the place i went to so have not had a wax for awhile just use the good old mach3 razor. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[Fuzzy Nuts]

draconudist - I really think you like posting photos of yourself which is fine but perhaps you should stick to topic and put photos in a member's album

[Bare in the Desert]

So those of you who have used the waxing method, would you recommend having a professional doing rather than a home kit?

Pardon the pun, but I think you hit the nail on the head, Fuzzy.

Your experience raises a number of questions. For example, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest level, who embarassed were you? What was the attitude of the lady, disdainful, completely impersonal or jokey? How older wer you at the time, and approximately how old was she? Did she wear surgical gloves or not?

A salon attendant that removes her or his gloves during genital waxings is running a sure risk of getting fired from a salon or spa. It is against health codes to do this.

This statement made by your friend, Pampelmousse is suspect.

Allie

[nacktman]

It would behoove us to point out that Pampelmousse resides in France and he did not indicte that his friend resided elsewhere other than France as well.
The Health Codes, while similar, are not the same from jursidiction to jursidiction here in the USA much less in France (or any other nation or locality)... to assume they are all the same is the height of hipocracy (and yes, stupidity).

That said ... let me echo Fuzzy Nuts ... Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! And, Ouch one more time! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/bonk.gif

Jeez, Nacktman, you are a piece of work.

According to a couple of friends who own/operate full service health/skin spas, it is against health codes.

Allie

[nacktman]

Appears one can not comprehend simple sentences.http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shrug.gif

So, to make it more simple:

While removing the latex glove IS contra to local health codes it does not follow that doing so IS in another locality.


Let me reiterate ... Ouch! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/freak.gif

On topic I just cant understand why one would want to be hairless all over. Oh yeah pic removed. I didn't know that it would offend ya. Sorry for the nudity LOL. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Dracnudist - It will be a blue moon when a naked photo offends me. I just questioned why you were posting it here and not in a member"s photo album.

[barebum]

I don't think I will be waxing, just shave any hair I don't want lol

[NakedJeeper]

You would probably want that extra hair if you lived here in OK right now with our 32F weather. Funny thing is last week it was 72!!

[tinner666]

A non-nudist started working at WTR and said she often had 'full-wax' customers before ever working at the resort. It never bothered her as long as it was 'just busineess'. Try getting funny and she would put a hurting on you and call PD.


After 3 months of working there, she became a nudist. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

[Kenv]

What about laser hair removal?
Anyone tried that?

[draconudist]

Don't think I could take waxing down there. Must realy hurt. I would have to have some laughing gas like at the dentist. I think I'll just stick with a close trim. Sorry Fuzzy got carried away. I see ya point.

[nakedjohn]

Not for me, will not even think about it. Could never stand the pain.

[BrianRI]

I have not tried the waxing, but I have tried the electroc tweezere which do the same thing. The firdst few times were very painfull http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shocked.gif, but since then it is not too bad. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/yes.gif

I have just undergone my first laser treatment last week. First the hair must be dark or the laser will not pick it up. The area to be treated is then shaved. The operator fills out a questionaire pretaining to skin tone, how easily you tan, hair color, etc and adjusts the machine to suit. The treatment itself is near painless ( I would liken it to a mild pinching) After 8 to 10 days I was told to expect to 'shed'. In 6 to 8 weeks another appointment will be needed to take care of any remaining hairs.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

fred950 - What was the cost of the treatment? - Also did you have a male person doing the treatment or was it a female and if so how did you feel? After you have had the second treatment will that be it or will you still have to undergo treatments?

[Zorro]

I don't know how women do it! Some years back at a spa I once worked at, we had licensed aestheticians, once of whom offered to wax my eyebrows (not that there's a lot of hair between them, but she wanted to "clean it up" for me). I can't believe how much it hurt when she pulled it off... and that was on my face! I can't imagine how painful it'd be elsewhere...

Fuzzy, the cost varies between $150 to $300 depnding on the area to be treated. The spa I went to has an all-female staff. As usual for me, I am very comfortable being nude and it just doesn't make any difference to me. When she mentioned how calm I was, I replied that as a card-carrying nudist, this is nothing unusual for me.

Further treatments after the second depends on how many hairs survive. I was told for the most part, two will do it.

BTW, I tried to reply yesterday, but AOL kicked me out four times in just ten minutes!

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Thanks fred950. If the treatment is permanent after a couple of sessions than the price is not too bad - would sure beat shaving everyday. - Even though I am a nudist I am not sure if I would be too comfortable with a female.

Also did you get everything done - balls, penis etc.

Also not sure if it would work with me as I am a dark blonde in the pubic department.

[nudebushwalker]

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

I have my body completely waxed every few weeks, and I prefer a female to do it - having a male do it would seem more uncomfortable to me, but that's just my preferences..

The beautician I go to is comfortable looking at me and "handling" me during the waxing, and like a couple of other writers have suggested it is all business during the waxing...

As for the pain itself, around and on the scrotum is one of the worst places - worse than a mosquito bite but not as bad as bees and wasps (not that I've ever been stung on the genitals (yet)) - and it only lasts a couple minutes. Plus, the pain does decrease with each session.
Anyway, what would life be like without a little pain now and then to let you know you're alive - it only helps to raise your pain threshold a bit further.

[Pampelmousse]

It is refreshing to read nudebushwalker's comments about being waxed all over by a lady, when many find the very idea disgusting. Why is it that the area between our legs is usually considered to be not appropriate for public viewing - or handling by a third party other than doctors, nurses or lovers?

Yes. Although its expensive, its very effective. Five to seven treatments is normal, but lasers vary with quality and age. I did chest, back, genetals, and backside. The results are amazing, looks like there was never any hair. A lady Physician Assistant did the work and I was comfortable with that. Very professional (obviously had seen it all before) casual attitude. I was a bit nervious at the start, and may have blushed at a position or two but my wife and I were together and we just laughed it off. The PA just chatted away the whole time making it a very relaxed feeling. Its not painless, but not bad, I would say like a light rubber band snapping maybe. One more thing. About the handling, she wore gloves, but never touched my parts. Rather just asked me to hold things to one side or the other and that area just takes seconds.

[paul1961]

Fuzzy Nuts is correct. Laser does not work well, if at all, on blonde, grey, or red hair.

Prices vary greatly from place to place. Last year, I paid a place $700 for full legs and butt. This year I found a place to do it for $350. Most places will treat any area, but a few will not.

My wife and I have both had some work done at a few different places. Pain is tolerable. No pain no gain.

The place we use now is clean, has the best lasers, and operators that are comfortable treating any body part. They have the best pricing I've found in this area. They are located in central Maryland. The forum is not the place for advertising. If someone would like their contact info, you can send me a PM.

The last time I needed to shave my body was when I was on the swim teams in high school and college.

I'm still not convinced that it did any good as far as lowering times goes - except we're talking about a sport in which differences of a hundreth of a second counts. I think it had to do in those days with something we called "psyching out". I think it also had to do with the fact that we were THE ONLY ONES in the school who could get away with that look as the swim varsity in HS (esp) were considered very macho.

The worst thing of course was that once the season was over you itched like hell for about a month.

Besides, I simply don't get this current aversion to bodies with hair. Understand I'm also a child of the 60s and hair was VERY in and very long back then.

Z

[fred950]

Fuzzy, I, too, am a very dark blond, pubicly. But dark enugh for laser to work. The hairs on my balls, however are grey. No go. So for there, I have four options. Shaving, waxing, pucking or just looking odd. In theory, the pain of waxing is on the skin only. So getting my test-tickles waxed should not be any more painful than, say, getting my belly waxed. (cross my fingers)

[nacktman]

The ONLY thing a man should wax is his car or truck! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/eusa_dance.gif
Ok, maybe his motorcycle! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/bonk.gif
But that's it!

OOPS! My bad! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/shocked.gif

You are most certainly correct fred950, I have my shammy cloth a'workin' as we speak. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/bonk.gif

[nakedjohn]

Waxing, no no no, not for me. Not a single hair gets waxed.

[Nude Scout]

I started having my genitals waxed last year. I like having a smooth scrotum and buttucks, feels great and clean. I go to a salon/spa every 8 weeks. There was some pain the first couple of sessions, less then getting a piercing. The male aestheticians was very polite and professional. The policy of this salon is female staff wax female clients and male staff wax male clients. I have tried shaving before and kept getting in grown hairs. I prefer waxing.

[Cheffred]

I have been having a female professional waxing me for a while now. She is very good at what she does and it really isn't that painful. I wouldn't recommend the home kits, Only a trained professional. After all that is a tender area, on both guys and gals.

Correction! Following recent postings on this subject I queried with my friend the fact that his beautician did not wear gloves, and I found out the following information.

The lady does have a salon, but she did not normally do men's complete bodies before my friend asked for the service. He had been going to her originally for some time for full body waxes excluding the swimming costume area, but when he first asked for a "back, sack and crack" treatment she demuurred. Then, because he persuaded her (and by this time he knew her well) she agreed to do it, but only at home where she treated friends. Therefore, the rules of professional salons do not apply. In any case, she did wear gloves at first, but because my friend told me that he is fastidious about making himself squeaky clean before his treatment she probably came to think that gloves were unnecessary with him. What is interesting is that, having treated my friend so often she has now begun provide the full body service for men - although she probably does not take the same risks with everybody. As might be expected, this new service has taken off with her (no pun intended).

My friend lives in the UK.

Hi Everyone,
here's my experience:

I'm not a smoothie but I am a long distance biker (training and in organized biking events) and a lot of my male and female riding partners who got waxed recommended it to me ... I had pretty hairy legs.

It has been a pain in the butt (pardon the pun) all these years, tight bike shorts pulling on my hairs, irritation when sweaty, and sunscream on the leg hair rather than absorbing into the skin. (I don't think the waxing is going to increase on my speed http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif)

Anyway, I had always considered it during my years biking, not sure if could I do it. So last spring I finally decided to go for it. Doing a quick search I actually found an experiencded (female) esthetician online (craigslist.org) who was looking to add customers, specifically male clientele. And she was offering Free Brazilian waxes ("Guyzilian") to men in order to gain the experience to offer more services. A deal I couldn't pass up.

It was a 40 min drive but the price couldn't be beat. And it was in an established upscale day spa so everyone was nice and very professional. She (Suzy) was about 35? and attractive, so there was usual nervousness about being completely nude while she is completely clothed, her touching me, etc.. and how would I react (down there http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/wink3.gif

She directed me to the small treatment room and I disrobed as she stepped out for a few minutes.

It turned out to be a very long treatment as she did my back and upper legs, the length of my bike shorts... and everything in between (not my chest).

I have to say, Suzy was really great. And she said that I made it very comfortable for her because I was so at ease with the situation.

I'm nudist and requesting a waxing I obviously knew what I was getting into, so of course I was completely OK with my being completely exposed -- even more so than ever before, as she waxed ALL my hair from my lower back to my mid-thigh and yes, completely in and around,.. Ahem, where I sit and *everywhere* in between. (She wore gloves and asked me to hold my penis when needed. But wow, only a doctor has examined me so closely.)

For my part I kept it light and tried to bring a lot of humor and upbeat conversaton; we talked about everything during the 2.5+ hours I was there... Mostly to make it more comfortable for her and to distract myself from the pain http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/sad3.gif

Since it was my first time there was a lot of hair so it took A LOT longer than normal and it was more painful. Very painful. Did I say PAINFUL!!? (No need to worry about arousal issues with so much pain!)

Oddly, it was least painful on the more sensitive areas -- because the hair folicles are thinner there, as she explained.

Since it took so long (and she was so professional) and she kept insisting that she was not going to charge me because I was only her second male client and she was learning, I paid her a very big tip.

One note: maybe because it was my first time or it was a shock to my skin, within 24 hours I got a lot of red bumps and ingrown hairs even with the moisturizer and cream she gave me. So All in all, not fun but overall a positive experience.

It worked really well for me. My sunscreen spread on much easier and I used much less, and it felt 100% better down there when biking. I'm going to back again soon.

I went back a couple weeks later to get the rest of my legs done and it was very painful again. But again we got along great, both if us treating the nudity as a very normal thing. I believe that as long as everyone is mature and professional about it there's no need to be uncomfortable. My thinking was that she's completely used to seeing nudity and waxing women's 'private' areas, she's an adult and has a young son, so she's seen everything on men anyway, so my nudity wasn't going to shock her, so there was no reason to feel odd about it. And I don't take myself too seriously. Always keep a sense of humor.


Anyway, sorry this is so long but I hope the info helps somebody.

[hommenudist]

Shaving is a chore at times and I have long wanted to try the total body waxing. Just cannot envision walking into a salon and asking if body waxing service is available for men here? Michigan is a rather prude state.

[nakedjohn]

Instead of going into the bussiness place, you could call them.

[MJ_KC]

I have tried a home waxing kit, but I just do not like it. The closest salon that will do waxing of males is about 40 miles away, so I will keep it in mind if I ever decide to have it done professionally.

For now, I am fine using a Gillette Fusion 5 blade razor. It shaves real close and smooth and I have been shaving long enough that I rarely get any skin irritation.

[Qikdraw]

I used to shave for years, since I was about 19. I liked the look and feel, and the women in my life liked it too.
Then I got married and my wife & I decided to try nudism, and I wanted to be trim and clean. The first place I went to was the salon where my wife & I got our hair cut. I wasn't allowed to remove my underwear, and she only did a partial wax. Then a few months later I decided to try again and called a few places to find out if they would do a brazillian on men. It took about 5 salons before I found one that would. She was pretty good and made me feel comfortable. It hurt, but she was actually pretty gentle. Where she waxed she immediately put her hand in that spot, it seemed to help with the immediate pain. I've been to her a few times.
Then I found another girl at the new place we got our hair done at, (our hairdresser changed salons) and she was great. Again it was brazillian, but leaving a little on top. The first few waxes hurt. But if you go regularily, like every three weeks, it won't hurt near as much. We went to this lady for about a year.

Now we get zapped. Its more expensive, but long term it gets cheaper. The best places offer you a warrenty. So if any hairs come back they'll zap em for free. It seems each person is a little different. My wife is just about done, with only a few hairs left, and I still have a few spots. I go up the shaft a bit, scrotum, and butt crack. I leave a little on the top. It hurts a it, but not as bad as waxing.
I've seen 3 different nurses for the zapping, and each one is different. One wouldn't touch me at all, jst kinda probbed with the zapper. The second, who is my regular one, is fine with it, and the first time asked if it was ok if she 'adjusted' me. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif She squirts the lotion on me at the end, and has me work it in. The last time was a new girl who had no problems handling me to move me around and put the lotion in herself. All were fine, but it just depends on the place you go to and who you meet.

Qikdraw

[pek1]

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">I located a place that does it in the Twin Cities and emailed the listing to myself. I start a new job in a couple of days and maybe I could talk to this salon this weekend. See how it goes! http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif</span>

[nakedjohn]

Just thinking about waxing, gives me goosebumps all over. I go for a dry razor shave once a week, and this works for me.

[Maxcellent]

I'm afraid I don't have much to contribute on this topic. I have a couple of comments and a couple of questions.
First comment: I don't find waxing all that painful. My only experience has been with home waxing kits. For some time, my wife has graciously waxed my back and shoulders for me. A little pain involved, but completely tolerable.
Second comment: The recurrence of shaving/smoothie topics is often criticized. My 2 cents: As someone who is experimenting with the smoothie lifestyle, I find others' comments reassuring. It's nice to see I'm not alone in my fondness of being smooth. Some days I need to be reminded that I am not alone in my preference.

First question: On a whim, I waxed my legs several weeks ago. Some hair is growing back, but not nearly as thick as before. Has anyone else experienced this? Hair coming growing back much thinner than before?
Second question: I experienced some mild bruising when I waxed my legs. Short-lived & only on more tender areas. Anyone else encountered this?

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Maxcellent - We will be interested to hear what the pain level is if you wax your balls and shaft?

[MJ_KC]

Definitely professional... or at least someone with experience. I have the impression that it's easy to make a real mess of things if your waxer doesn't know what he/she is doing.

I would agree. This is something that should only be done by someone who knows what they are doing.

[Nude in Iowa]

I'm getting waxed on the 30th of July. I'll let you know how it goes. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif

I go pretty much smooth also, and for me, a close trim and shave around the lower parts seems just fine. I have never had it done, hot waxing sounds like torture! OUCH! If you have the proper type of relationship (i.e., know them well), a nude friend can shave you if you want to make sure you reach areas that are hard to get to.

Also, friend of mine goes smooth below and uses only talcum/baby power to shave and no water until rinsing at the end. Has anyone shaved that way?

[Nude Scout]

My waxer past away suddenly. Can anyone recommend a waxer in the SF area.

[shaneone]

I got waxed for the first time abuot 2 weeks ago, It gave a great result, took two hours but looks great. Took about two days for the redness to go away totally and regrowth is still very short and minimal. will definitely go back and have it done again. the skin on my scrotum took about a week to fully recover but what do you expect from such a sensitive area.

[bikerboy]

Just a question for you all. I shave myself, but just out of curiosity, what is the average price of waxing? And for those of you that do the zapping, what is the price of that as well?

[Vin]

Originally posted by bikerboy:

I can only answer for the TN/KY area, but around here a back-and-shoulders wax seems to run a bit more than $50. No idea what laser treatment would run.

[lazermuffy]

We'll chime in too on the laser. Mrs. Lazermuffy had all of her hair removed (front and rear). Mild bug stings summarizes the pain level. It is pricy. It was around $100 per session and required about 8 sessions (one every 6 weeks roughly). Only a few blonde hairs left. Everything else is gone and extremely soft (since the hair follicle is gone).

I'd think if you do the math on the cost of waxing for a few years, it would probably break even.

We did try a little home waxing kit once. Needless to say, the process wasn't finished and the laser was scheduled not long after.

[NKID_D57]

I found a local salon that does full body waxing for men. I have not set up an appointment yet. Currently, cannot match my schedule with available appointments. Quoted costs start at $75 US and up. I was told that the price can vary depending on how much body hair that the individual has. Would like to get a full body wax at least once. Until then, Body Groomer and Gillette Fushion.

[nacktman]

Said it before ... but, OUCH!

[wannabenaked]

I finally worked up the confidence to get waxed. In the past I had my shoulders and lower back waxed, so I had some idea of what to expect. I contacted the woman who usually waxes me, but she said she had never done a male brazillian, and that I probably didn't want to be her first. She told me of someone else at another salon, who does male brazillians. I contacted tha salon, asked how long she hade been doing this, return customers, etc. just to make sure she knew what she was doing. I was satisfied. $90.00 for a male brazillian seemed a bit steep, but she was the only one in the area I was aware of.

I went in for may appointment, and we went to a room with a massage table, and I disrobed, making small talk and exchanging information to lighten the mood. Then she started. As she was applying the first bit of wax, I asked about different shapes, landing strips above the "member". She explained that she always removes everything across the top, pulled the first strip of hair, fabric and wax, and then explained that she only went to the "base", and would not do the sac.

I was disappointed and tempted to leave, but figured I made it this far... She continued her work, then had me flip over, did one strip on either side of my anus, and said she was done. ????????????? She asked if I wanted the rest of my buns done? But that it would be at an additional charge. I said no-thanks, cleaned up, dressed and left after shelling out $90 for something that my regular girl would have charged me $30 or $40. Then I called my regular girl, explained what happened, and suggested that she not direct anyone to that salon for a brazillian, as they don't seem to have the same concept of the word that is found on the internet. My waxer agreed with me that a brazillian is "everything" that a pair of tighty whities would cover...everything!!!

So, if your shopping, ask the questions directly, don't rely on terms like brazillian or hollywood. I now look like I have a tiny, old lion where my "boys" used to be.

[Qikdraw]

Well you might ask your regular waxer is she'll try it on you. Just take it slower, and do smaller areas at a time. Just remember to help her stretch the skin or its not gonna be pleasant. If you have a good relationship with her she might try it, it would expand her client base too. But, she may not be comfortable with doing that, so don't push her about it.

Sorry for your bad experience with the other waxer. My first time wasn't very good either. You just have to keep looking around. Phone different salons in your area and ask if they do full barzillian on men. Sometimes the receptionist doesn't know, and you can ask to talk with the waxer, or leave a message for them to call you back. Then ask them if brazillian for men includes scrotum, shaft, etc. It took me a few calls before I was able to find a place.

The other thing about it is why you are doing it. Are you going to do it long term or was this just somethign to try. If you end up doing it long term you might want to look at laser, although its more upfront, in the long run it ends up being cheaper, and its permanent.

Opps. My Bad. I thought it was going to be tips on how to wax my vehicles quicker.:p

Well, I did it. After my rather dissapointing experiance with a new waxer, I went back to my regular girl and told her about the person she had suggested. She responded by saying that I would have to understand that I would be a trial run for her, but she is willing to try. Several weeks had passed, and I made an appointment. It was a bit rough getting started, the first strip did not go well, and the wax was way too hot for this sensitive area. As she progressed, the results got much better, and the discomfort diminished. After about an hour and a half, she had finished the shaft and sac, and I needed to stop. Mostly from lying on the table for so long, rather than any pain. By the end of the day, no discomfort at all, and I really like the results. Much softer, and less irritated than with shaving. I will be going back next week to finnish up between my legs and my back side. Very glad I did it.

I keep my entire body completely hairless from nose to toes not by waxing but by body sugaring. When you wax your body, you pull the hair at the surface. Therefore the hair will always grow and you will have to repeat the same process over and over. But if you go to a total body sugaring session, the technician will remove the hair at its roots. The goal for going to those sessions is for eventually beeing permanentely hair free. Personally, I love the look and the feeling of being completely hairless. Keep in mind that you should be able to handle some pains if you want to try body sugaring. For those who want a smooth look, you should give a try. The result is well worth it.

Hi Guys,
I described my waxing experience in this same thread back in April ’07 after my first waxing in preparation for bike racing season and endurance events. You can look it up here if you want: http://www.clothesfreeforum.com/showpost.php?p=25388&postcount=40

I’ve gone back 4 times since then for follow up waxing. Physically it was painful, but overall it was better than I could have hoped for in terms of comfort with the woman doing the waxing.

Suzy and I got along great from the first introduction. She is a very experienced esthetician at a upscale salon. She was nice looking and very friendly which made it easy for me to feel comfortable also. Since I had nothing whatsoever to hide, nothing at all ;) I didn’t take myself too seriously, chatting away and joking to distract myself. We had a very nice conversation thru the 2.5+hour appointment time. Lots of laughs between the riiiiiping and pain. She was good- I remember her trying to distract me from the pain - getting me to think about something else by asking me questions just before she pulled the wax/tape off.

Interestingly, waxing and pulling out the hair around the pubic area hurt much less than it did everywhere else. She explained that it’s because the skin is more tender there and so the hair follicles are not as big so they come out much easier. Makes sense. So that was a very happy surprise.

She seemed completely comfortable with my nudity from the start, even though I was the first or second man she had ever worked on. I guess she had to be comfortable  because she waxed me completely from toe to stomach and all the way up my back and shoulders, and um, *everywhere* in between. Wow, we got to know eachother reeeaally well. They called it a ‘Guyzilian’. Lucky we were very comfortable with eachother. She got very close to everything but she asked me to hold it out of her way for her. And yes, she kept her gloves on the entire time.

My thinking is that anyone, men or women, who do it everyday for a living are very used to nudity, mostly females of course, but even with women waxing males, they’ve seen everything before so it’s not a big deal. And if we both treat eachother like adults and with respect and keep the conversation going light and upbeat it’s makes for a good experience for all. Like I said, I was very comfortable with her and my body from the start and she said later that my being so friendly and conversational made it easier for her. She said some people are very uptight and it’s not as easy then.

Anyway, I am taking too much space here but just thought I should share my experience(s).

I'm giving serious consideration to having most of my body hair lased off. It constantly gets hung up in my clothing, I can't shave (folliculitis barbae), and my skin doesn't react well to waxing.

Obviously the cost is significantly higher for the laser treatment, so my chief queries are:

How many treatments did it take you to eliminate regrowth permanently? (My body hair ranges from pale blond to very dark brown).

What side effects did you experience (sunburn type reaction? scarring?)

Are you happy with the end result a year or two later?

I second what totallysmoothnudist says. Sugaring is much less painful than waxing and does a better job.

I get everything done, and it's great feeling smooth all over.

I highly recommend it.

I do my own waxing with the help of my girlfriend. The pubes are one of the least painful areas, I would say the chest is the most painful thing I've had waxed. Although I'm sure losing some of my weight will help. I think that the more toned you are, the less pain there will be, reason being is that the skin will be much tighter, and therefore the hair will rip out easier.
