Of the men surveyed by Schick, 79 percent said they like neatened-up bikini areas, while 21 percent either don't care or are turned off by it.
Of course, if guys want it so much, perhaps they should pick up the salon tab…but that's another story! What's somewhat reassuring: Many men hold themselves to the same standard. Of the men Glamour polled, 30 percent agreed that if women are expected to groom their privates, men should also have to—and half said they already do it, which explains the "manzilians" some salons now offer.
Perhaps Diddy, who's admitted to shaving his man parts, best summed it up when he said, "If men require women to go through the pain, we should return the favor. It's all part of today's cult of perfection, this inclination to pluck, prune and preen every inch of yourself. Yet there are other, more unexpected reasons why men like it when women wax, according to conversations with dozens of guys.
Unlike Amanda's date, they aren't necessarily grossed out by a thatch of hair. Nor do men want us to act out some super-shorn porn-tacular fantasy well, not all the time or pubescent Hannah Montana creep show. As it turns out, a lot of men see grooming down there as an intimate little treat—they don't just think you've waxed, they think you've waxed for them.
Which is egocentric and cute, all at the same time. That makes it even sexier. And did you go more choppy this time?
Babies are bald. Girls are bald. Sexiness and confidence is not bald. Trust me on that. More from YourTango :. Amazon shoppers are living in these on-sale joggers: 'OMG these are the most comfortable pants I've ever owned! Dust like nobody's watching. Paulina Porizkova, 56, has been enjoying a much-needed break from the fast life, having recently posted a sexy bikini photo of herself leaning on the edge of a resort near a calm sea.
The year-old gets candid about spending the holidays as a single mom. Iskra Lawrence is sick and tired of retouching. By the way, I'm gay. Score a top-to-tires Armor All car care kit for nearly half off and a piece tool set for 98 bucks. The father of Ezra Blount, a 9-year-old boy who was trampled at the Astroworld Festival in Texas, has spoken out about his son's grave injuries. Country music icon Trisha Yearwood is big on keeping family traditions alive around the holidays.
Yearwood, who hosts Trisha's Southern Kitchen on the Food Network, says food traditions are especially important to her.
Yearwood loves to host a "misfit Thanksgiving," where they invite people who don't have a place to go for the holiday to their home.
Yearwood says that Brooks loves to tell stories about how his mother used to stay up all night to baste the turkey before Thanksgiving. Once they do, they are as courageous as women. After doing it the first time, they are surprised at how easy it is. Most of the fear is the anticipation and pre-conceived notions. Carly Ross: The shaft tends to be the most difficult because that hair can be really stubborn as it grows in every direction.
Lori Nestore: Mostly they turn into regular clients. I haven't experienced men wanting to get a Brazilian done for a special occasion in the same way a woman does. Julia Davydov: It's about fifty-fifty. Sometimes men do it once out of curiosity. They are surprised how much they like it.
Some say they feel lighter and airier. They also say they feel sleek and cleaner. Carly Ross: I personally have very few male genital wax clients. I think men are still a bit wary about waxing that area, especially because it's usually a female who is performing the service. Other body parts are way more frequent, but men are less tied to a schedule. Lori Nestore: We can't ever make judgements on who may or may not turn into a good client.
Many years ago, I had a professional I trained have her first male client coming in for a Brazilian. She called me to do a verbal run through. About three hours later, I called her to see how everything went. She said nothing could have prepared her to walk into the room with a fully naked man on her table.
She went over to her wax pot and stirred it for about five minutes before she could gather her courage, turn around, and start waxing him. He liked the results so much, he had her wax his back, chest, and legs. He was a police officer and she ended up with the police force and fire department as her clients [because] he was an awesome referral.
Julia Davydov: That some men actually believe waxing makes their penises look bigger. They also have many of the same questions woman have. How long before my hair grows back, and if I do it often will the hair come back slower, etc.? Some men are fine to show their junk and others want a small modesty towel. Carly Ross: I was surprised by the fact that most men seem to remove their body hair for a partner rather than themselves. They are not uncomfortable with their hair the way women are, because their culture does not frown upon it.
Lori Nestore: If they are shaving already, this is so much better! Julia Davydov: If a guy is paranoid about having a boner during the wax, ejaculating prior to coming in could help him avoid that. It's just biology. If a man ejaculates, it generally takes a bit of a while before he becomes hard again.
Also, like with woman, that they can't shave before a waxing. The hair needs to be grown out a bit so that the wax can adhere to it and thus be pulled off.
Lori Nestore: That they must be gay to want this done. Interestingly enough, the clientele is more heterosexual than homosexual that prefers waxing. Or [the misconception] that he might be a perv. I have found nervous new male clients asking questions that can seem inappropriate and the easiest way around this is to simply ask if they are concerned they may get an erection during the service. Many times, because I just asked so calmly, they say yes and I can assure them it doesn't happen very often, but if it does, it's no big deal.
Julia Davydov: That only gay men wax. Not true. Straight athletes, body builders, and boyfriends and husbands of women wax. Pubic waxing is finally a unisex beauty treatment for everybody regardless of sexual preference. Carly Ross: A common misconception is what they believe the level of pain will be.
Men think it will be more painful than it actually is. It's really important to breathe, and to keep your adrenaline down. If you lay on the bed clenching your body, it's going to be so much worse.
