waxing :(

Hello Ladies, I should have name changed.

All morning I've been in a bit of a mood. It all started last week when I was having my usual brazillian wax and I noticed they have a service for men too. I called DH to book him in and he refused to go saying that it's uncomfortable with the idea of someone of any gender covering his intimate parts in hot wax and ripping it off. He won't mind if I do it though.

During my pregnancy a few years ago, I did beg my DH to have a wax and he did comply, rightly or wrongly, I was feeling like my body was going through too many things for my DH to understand and the expectation of delivery just felt too high, while the act was grossly under appreciated. I don't know how or why I justified his being waxed as a good compromise, but the result made me insanely happy. Those six weeks were fantasmic. At the appointment he did make me promise that it was a one off, and I did have to go with him and hold his hand.

The problem is, I have such an aversion to body hair I cannot wax him. He won't be waxed by a professional, but does complain if I'm not pruned to perfection regularly.

While reading another thread, I realized how much I would like to tap a nice, firm and hairless male butt--perhaps even give it a squeeze but I don't really find myself being able to find a male stripper/male prostitute and paying to do it. I just couldn't do it, I wouldn't be comfortable for anyone to ever do that to me without feeling demeaned, except my own DH. I would very comfortably be able to sqeeze his butt.

I know my DH and I need to have a conversation about this since it is bothering me enough to actually post about it, but I need to find a way to come to some sort of reasonable compromise.

I will not stop being waxed because I find my own amount of hairiness unappealing, and I don't think him shaving would be good because the stubble is uncomfortable--although he does this to make me happy.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for any help you do offer. :)

You just couldn't resist, could you LancsDad? Grin

All this thread needs now is the appearance of AnyFucker and their renowned bush which may serve to convince the OP that she could be underestimating the joys of topiary Wink

Fucking norah.

Why are you two so bothered with each others hirsuteness?

ShatnersBassoon · 03/10/2011 16:33

You're both ridiculous. I couldn't give a jeffing eff what my husband's bollocks look like, and I'd be horrified if he had a preference for a certain vulva 'do'. It's so unimportant, I would think he was joking if he recommended I did something new with my pubes.

A longstanding disagreement about pube styling isn't healthy. Ban any thatch chat and get on with life.

'thatch chat' Shatners Grin

When it comes to pubic adornment, the creativity of mumsnetters has no limits.

How about growing rasta locks OP? And dyeing his bush the colours of his favourite rugby/football/cricket team - tres economical if he supports the All Blacks.

What never? Your DC have never seen you naked? Do you not think that's a bit crazy odd too? Hmm

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 07/10/2011 23:10

You go to the trouble of divesting your body of every single strand of body hair so that it gives the appearance of being as naked as the day you were born, yet you don't allow your ds to see you sans clothing?

Distinctly odd behaviour eandz Do you and dh wear knickers/thongs at all times - including in the bath/shower?

ScarahStratton · 07/10/2011 23:12

Sorry, I didn't realise this was an oldish thread.

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 07/10/2011 23:18

It's only a few days' old, Scarah, and I meant to revisit it to ask the very same questions that you have.

His body his choice.

The End.
