We all deal with the trials and tribulations of bikini line maintenance on a pretty regular basis. So, why (oh why) are we forced to ignore the hair problem when it comes to our men?
Those days may soon be over. When I was sitting at my salon waiting for my appointment, I was flipping through this week’s Us Weekly, when I learned some very personal information about some of Hip Hop’s biggest stars.
Apparently, both Puff Daddy and Jay-Z are all about the male Brazilian. (Yeah, Beyonce!)
As in: hot wax, being applied to their man parts (and cracks!) and being ripped off by a large woman (most likely in need of a lip wax). Jay-Z was even quoted as saying, “bald is beautiful.”
So. Many. Thoughts. Going. Through. My. Mind.
One, I would rather not think of Puff Daddy lying on the table getting his balls waxed. But, at the same time, I got sorta excited at the thought of those men – who are all about bangin’ bitches – feeling and understanding the pain that women go through to stay beautiful and “feminine.”
(My stylist says: “That sh*t hurts and it’s about freaking time they realized!”)
(Her gay assistant says: “It makes everything look so much bigger!”)
I also found myself grinning at the thought of this trend taking off and sweeping the nation. Just imagine doing naughty things to your man without having to deal with the hair hurdle!
I decided to do some research into the minds of boys. I needed to know if this was something I could look forward to the next time I brought a boy home.
Answer: no.
I guess I got a little ahead of myself on this one; looks like most guys don’t have the threshold for pain down there like our Diddy and Jay.
What do you think? Are you for or against the male Brazilian? You gonna make your man get one?

I shave my balls and crack and trim everything else. Less hair is nicer feeling and looking, I do it for myself – its a bonus that girls like it. However I think waxing might be a step too far, or at least unnecessary? In my opinion cocks look best with a bit of trimmed hair above them, so waxing everything off would be a bit over the top. Everywhere else I can’t see waxing being as much of an advantage, it would be a skilled girl who could tell the difference between waxed and freshly shaved balls.
Shaved/waxed girls are so much nicer to go down on because our faces are always right up against where the hair would have been, with guys though the focus is usually mostly on the top half of his cock, which is naturally hairless. Waxing wouldn’t really make much of a difference as long as the rest of the guys hair was trimmed or shaved.
Just my thoughts. I don’t imagine this will catch on, but there’s been talk of celebrities favouring ‘back, crack and sack’ waxes for ages over here in England.

Well you might want to go back to grade school and recheck your answers. The majority (43%) said “No way.” But the rest (30%) & (27%) combined equals (57%) said they would go for it. So this is one of those cases where the two minority out weight the majority.
I’ve never done it. But shaving down there has crossed my mind if it helps out my sex life. So if I can pay someone else to do it and make it more convenient for myself and it makes her all happy. Then I hope I would be all for it.

Obviously it has changed since you looked. 44 and 29% said they would want it. 28% keep it natural.
Believe me, it is so much better for both parties. Plus I think it makes you look more endowed down there.

I think it’s considerate for guys to trim for their girls, for the aesthetics and for comfort. It also makes your package look longer. But waxing? I’m all for equality, but not when it gets blurred with sameness. Guys are furry. Women aren’t. That’s how both genders prefer it. There’s beauty in difference.
I hope it never catches on, but gay fashions have a way of trickling down to the hetero sector.

I wouldn’t really want my man going bare in the bottom areas. I think it looks more like a little boy.
However, I do NOT think keeping a bush is any more attractive!
Keep it short and trimmed and you’re golden in my book.
Darcy says:
Mon, 30th Jun 20089:19 pm
A lot of guys are pretty hairy creatures, it wouldn’t match the rest of their body if the hair down there is the only thing they wax. But who would have the time/pain threshold/money to get full-body wax jobs regularly? I wouldn’t want to meet a guy like that.

I’m a Manzilian Man (at hot as a Marlboro Man with much less cancer) and am obviously a fan as is my finance. Yeah, it hurts somewhat but it’s not killer. I describe it as more painful than a tattoo on a soft part of your body and less painful than a tattoo over a bone. That’s the first time, it gets easier over time (if you keep it up regularly).
The benefits are completely worth it though, smooth on smooth sex is amazing. I’ll never go back.

I once had everything below the neck waxed, and it wasn’t much more painful than a deep massage. Just remember to breathe deeply and at a consistent rhythm and you can endure a lot of discomfort. Try yoga (or, even better, hot yoga) and you’ll know what I mean. It was a hell of a lot more expensive than any massage, however. I’d gladly do it on a regular basis if it wasn’t so damn expensive.
Really, if it hurts so much then you really need to relax. All this nonsense of female superiority in relation to pain is silly. It’s really about men not wanting to go through what may be a rather humiliating experience. I had three women remove my hair, but didn’t have an erection, pass any gas (I did take a break from the experience,) or any toilet paper remnants on my asshole, so I guess I managed to survive.
And laser hair removal is not an option, since–aside from the fact that it also costs one hell of a lot–part of the fun of going hairless is the ability to go hairless again. Or not. My girlfriend is doing the laser thing, and she is happy to know she’ll never have armpit hair again, but she is already lamenting the way a lack of pubic hair no longer channels her urine into a single stream. But she likes the look, and it makes for good eating.

As admirable as his attempts to be fully informed re the experience of human pain are, I really think someone has jolly well got to get a grip on Chris really quite soon. This pattern of being waterboarded and de-pubed can lead to a self destructive pattern of tying to be half-poisoned, half-hung, and half-lobotomized (the latter truly being a loss). If this keeps up he will awaken in a cheap motel and find cookie crumbs on his stomach, booze bottles on the bed and half his wealth given away to televangelists.

I do nude modeling for the life art class at the community college and sometimes private strips where i have a thong on for a short time, I am quite hairy and have shaved my butt cheeks and crack so the thong string doesnt get tangled when i rip it off, and i shave my balls smooth all around to the base of my dick and the sides straight up leaving about a patch of 2and a half inch tightly trimmed pubic hair, I think this looks great on a guy and have had no complaints. I tried electrolysis and that was very time consuming, the technician told me her sister could give me a brazilian wax in a salon and she would take me there, we walked around a half pulled curtain where there was a counter and several tables, she asked me if i would mind if other technicians watched so they can see how to do a male brazilian and told me to get completely undressed and get up on the on all fours with my legs spread, then she used an applicator to smooth hot wax on my butt cheeks and then remove it with strips of cloth in a quick jerk, it doesnt hurt that bad mmmmmmm then it was kind of erotic when another girl pulled my cheeks apart to spread wax on my crack and butt hole, this actually felt very good and i started to get aroused, they said dont be embarased they perfer the skin to be tight as possible on the penis and testicles,then i turned over and got an erection as they kinda coaxed it with the wax as they were putting it on, it seemed everyone had to walk by to use the bathroom by now and stop to look and ask if it hurts bad, i didnt mind the audiance, they did a great job reducing the pain keeping the skin tight while waxing my balls all around the base and shaft of my dick, i have since got a wax several times at other salons but none were as good as that one. there is a special way to wax a guy, not all know how to do it with out hurting you, I still get them because i like the way it looks and feels especially during sex, have your guy try it you will like it too,

OMG missed a comment here that said “All this nonsense of female superiority in relation to pain is silly” – ahahahahaha, you know nothing, NOTHING! I’m built like a whippet and my first child was a heartbeat short of 10lbs. A girlfriend described childbirth for me beforehand and she was correct – it’s like being constipated for 9 months then passing a basketball. Many women tear. That means you push so hard and the baby is so big the shoulders tear the perineum, and sometimes a midwife has to perform an episiotomy (cuts you there to get the baby out) – they cut an artery with a girl I know and she nearly bled to death. With me they stitched me up wrong and as the stitches contracted I was in agony and infected and had to be rushed back into hospital.
Then after a week your partner asks if you’re up for it?! I answered him as I will answer you, ‘Mr Me.’, when you’ve had your penis torn apart only a week ago and you’re ok with me jumping up and down on it, then you can tell me it’s no big deal.
JMo says:
Wed, 13th Aug 20086:08 pm
I have always kept it trimmed down there but shaving bald is just horrible as the ingrown hairs/razor bumps etc. It’s not so much that it makes you look bigger imo, but it feels great(also more sensitive) and is definitely a libido booster.
I just waxed the upper portion today and it hurt but not nearly as bad as i expected.
My personal opinion: If your bf, husband or whatever, wants some oral and can’t at least trim himself than to bad. I wouldn’t even think about going down on a girl who wasn’t trimmed up but on the other hand when it’s all gone Brazilian style, I cant wait to go to town on it. =P me lick you long time lol

I am scheduled for a brazillian this afternoon. I am not worried about the pain as much as I am worried about getting an erection. Do a lot of men get an erection during a waxing?
Mandy says:
Wed, 10th Sep 20084:16 pm
Yes, Connor, guys sometimes get erections while getting a brazilian. I’ve done male waxing for a year now and I would say about half the guys get hard at some point. Usually its when I first examine their penis and balls before I start waxing them. I don’t mind because I think its just a normal reaction men get when being touched by an attractive woman.
Some of the men have gotten embarassed or appoligized to me about getting hard. Actually, its easier for me to wax a guy who has an erection because the penis is easier to keep out of the way during the waxing.
Unfortuntely, the erection often goes down after I start waxing becuase its somewhat painful.

Hmm, I’m sort of up in the air about waxxing the top half part. I usually trim that to look sexy only. I also shave my thighs give me pelvic pubic hair a shape up. But I’m really considering waxxing the whole thigh and butt. You can leave my calves as manly hairy as they are. Oh, and I see no realistic reason to go as far as waxxing the butt hole. It’s bad enough you have people in LA getting theirs bleached to look young; I really don’t get that. And that compensation for going down on a guy bit doesn’t fly w/ me missy; because I don’t even like getting head. So, now I’m wondering how expensive could it cost to get it as regular as I get my eyebrows threaded? And I mean, is there a huge difference in sexual enjoyment level between a close trim and a full blown wax?

Look, waxing has definite advantages over shaving. Sure it hurts, but when you remove the hair at the root, it stays gone for weeks. When it does return? It doesn’t come in like stubble (thick shaft), it comes in downy. So, no stubble discomfort. This is a major consideration, if you’ve ever bothered shaving.
If you go to someone good – someone experienced, who knows what they’re doing – the process is quick and relatively less painful.
I recommend it.

As for the wax, way too painful, if you’re working it right girls could care less about the hair.

Why dont you all just get laser hair removal? The girl I went to in Miami goes once a week to one of the Miami firehouses and does the laser hair removal on the firemen. Some only want their body but some of them do their private parts. She said it is getting more and more popular. I had it done (takes around 5 or 6 sessions) and now I never have to wax ever again. My boyfriend said he will go to get it done. He usually shaves but the grow back is itchy for him.

I have been getting a male brazilian for about 10 years, and have gone to probably 5 or 6 different salons to get it done. I love it, my girlfriends love it, and it simply does not hurt anymore. The hair grows back finer each time, and it lasts a long time.
The girl I go to now is young and attractive but very professional. I cant help but get erect almost as soon as she touches me and it doesnt go away until I leave. She does not seem to mind, based on the way she holds it, moves it and rubs on the lotion at the end. She does a great job, and it really isnt embarrassing at all.

I usually shave everything and I love the way it looks and feels. Since I shave everyday it isn’t much of a problem. Some of my ex-boyfriends have loved it. It took my wife a little getting used to, but she seems to like it now. (BTW yes I am bi). I have thought about laser for everything, but not certain I could afford it at this time. I guess I’ll keep shaving. I may have to try a wax sometime next time I hit black’s beach.

I’ve been shaving my pubes for years. I leave a triangle of hair above the shaft. I wish I would have started it years ago, but it was hard to convince my wife it was the way I wanted it. One day I just decided to shave the sides to see her reaction. She was freaked out at first and thought something was wrong with me, but soon decided she liked it better than she thought she would. I didn’t do the wax job but over time tweezed the hair out. At first there was a little pain but over time it got less painful and it takes a lot of time to grow back. I don’t think some of will ever grow back. If I let it grow it will come in very thin. I also trim my body hair short it exposes my hard body.

I love it. No hair is so much better. If I had the money i would laser everything and get my hubby to do it too. I hate when I am giving head and wind up flossing too. I refuse, so naturally, my hubby will shave it. I think any guy should try it, they will probably like it!

Thu, 21st May 20097:37 am
I started going for the Hollywood every 5 weeks since late last year. The first time was a bit scary, but after that you get used to it and it is over within 40 minutes. My wife is happy because there is no more prickly stubble like I used to get from shaving. The therapist I go to really knows what she is doing and she has always made me feel comfortable. The odd erection is inevitable. Just go with the flow. I would really recommend all you guys out there to try it at least once.
Now I am contemplating going for the laser treatment and get rid of it for good….

I’m a cosmetologist and have two regular MALE Brazilian wax clients. They say the girls like it, and they feel much cleaner. Hey… to each his own. I personally believe that those who shave are wasting their time and energy daily or every other day when a wax lasts for weeks and NO PRICKLES! WHOOT HOOT for the brave (and very intelligent) men AND women out there!
