College and Pubic Hair

[Foxtrot92]

My DSister (16) has just started a beauty therapy course in college.

Yesterday she was told by a tutor that everyone is to grow their pubic hair (vagina) so they can practice waxing on each other and develop and understanding of how clients feel.

My DS and most of the other girls are horrified by this and don't want to do it. AIBU to be horrified at this demand? Surely the college can't enforce this on the girls?!

I was thinking "they must mean vet"!

What was a joke Insomniac?

But it isn't normal! It's like calling your arm your hand because it's physically close to your hand

It is normal. It is this big MN thing about talking about vulva and the faux pretence that saying vagina is so confusing.

I've never had a wax and never will and will never have a vajazzle. That ridiculous concept is plainly a pun on vagina- or do you think anyone actually thinks the sequins are stuck inside because it wasn't described as "vuljazzle"?

Unwanted contact in a private area is sexual assault IMO

Taking it up to 11 in a situation where it isn't warranted, like you've just done, is one of the many reasons actual sexual assault victims find it so hard to be taken seriously in our society.

Unclench fist, release the pearls.

Would you rather wax a friend's vulva or their Volvo?

I've honestly never heard of vagina used as a euphemism for a clam burger before. In my experience it has always been a case of the cutesy/weird/random names being used to refer to the whole kit and caboodle in part to avoid having to say the v word?

The Underworld My First Growler should be issued to all boys so they can become familiar with a clitoris allsort from an early age. Also it would have to have magical growing hair so you can practice cutting and waxing as well as just styling and vulvajazzlies.

Of course everyone knows what OP meant by vagina fgs. I'm too old for this thread as I just can't get my head round the fact that a Hollywood wax is considered standard beautician fare. When I was a youngster it was considered pretty far out there (this is 1990s so not a million years ago)

buckbeak good grief

It's not just on mumsnet though. Not at all.

I'm trying to get my head around why you think a 'vajazzle' is a good example here. Perhaps you should think about what the term means and where it comes from before using it to defend your point!!! There is nothing positive in either the word vajazzle or the actually act of having a vajazzle to confirm what you are trying to say

No they've been told they'll be waxing the lot just reminds me of this, around 1.23

"I'm gonna wax the lot man!"

Tell them she can't she's had it lazered off.

or do you think anyone actually thinks the sequins are stuck inside because it wasn't described as "vuljazzle"?

Whoever came up with the name vajazzle was daft. They were ignorant about the correct names of female genitalia.
It probably did puzzle some people and it spread the ignorance.

YES magical growing hair just like those Playdoh Hairdresser things where you turn the crankshaft and the playdoh squeezes out of the (massive) follicles aka Medusa. Although then the first though of the boys would be 'cripes I can see why they wax it all off, this is horrible stuff'
