Hi,

My new partner would like me to have a full bikini wax. I have never done it in my life; Do you do it ? What do you think about it ?

I think to be completely honest you should tell him to get lost (I was going to phrase that rather more strongly, and in person I probably would) What a bloody cheek! If you are asking then I can't believe you want to denude yourself.

Why don't you tell him to have a back, sack and crack wax first?

seeker · 10/01/2010 07:20

Ask him why he wants you to look like a little girl not like a woman.

littledawley · 10/01/2010 07:26

I like a fairly hardcore wax but I always leave a fair amount on - as seeker said, why would you want to look like a young girl? I like the feeling of being hairless around the sides etc. but I wouldn't want to take it all off.

nancydrewrocks · 10/01/2010 08:49

I like a pretty thorough wax but do leave a tiny bit.

I think it is fab - much cleaner and DH likes the feel - as do I

I don't think it has anything to do with looking like a child (and as someone who has had it all off and had three children I can assure you that it doesn't look at all childish )

If he is simply stating a preference why not give it a go? If you don't like it then you don't have to do it again.

Sex is definitely better with a full wax - much more sensation! Try it and you'll see. If you don't like the look it grows back very quickly.

seeker · 10/01/2010 09:09

I enjoy being a woman - and women have pubic hair.

kittya · 10/01/2010 09:15

Painfull!! thats what I think of any bikini wax, its torture. The whole thing would be horrid and embarrasing to get done. I dont think its anything to do with looking like a little girl, women in different cultures get it done all the time. Some of my friends think Im abnormal for having a full bush!

almondfinger · 10/01/2010 09:19

Nancydrew, I thought you said 'My cleaner and DH prefer it'!!!

Bonsoir · 10/01/2010 09:19

Women have leg hair and underarm hair - do you enjoy them too? Does your DP?

nancydrewrocks · 10/01/2010 09:19

seeker does that also mean you don't depilate underarm hair?

SilveryMoon · 10/01/2010 09:20

I'm bare at the moment. I go through different phases of what I want. Sometimes I want a bit of hair there, sometimes I don't. My dp prefers less hair, but I don't think it matters to him that much, it won't affect how often he gets laid
I don't think I look like a little girl bare though

Garrylous · 10/01/2010 09:20

too much info abotu annas sex life looming

AnnieBeansMum · 10/01/2010 09:24

Ouch!! Not a chance in hell. Wax has yet to touch my body (below the eyebrows) and it never bloody will. I am as nature intended, thank you very much. And if DH doesn't like it then tough.

Bonsoir · 10/01/2010 09:24

You are such a suburban prude

Garrylous · 10/01/2010 09:24

ah suburban!

you keep your best insults for me

Bonsoir · 10/01/2010 09:27

Yup, feel flattered, I know you can take them

LadyBiscuit · 10/01/2010 09:31

I wax most of it off but then so does my partner. I think you both should do it

nipscouldcutglass · 10/01/2010 09:35

It is a bit cheeky for him to ask you to imo.

The first few times you have it done are quite painful (you can bleed and bruise a little). To minimise the damage trim to one cm long and take ibuprofen 20 mins before you have it done. I used to have it done pre-children and would leave a 'landing strip' unwaxed personally. Have you had somewhere recommended to have it done - I went somewhere rubbish once and swelled so much I ended up looking more like a man in a bikini - not very sexy!

seeker · 10/01/2010 09:49

I didn't think legs and under arms are sex organs - but I am waiting to be enlightened!

Bonsoir · 10/01/2010 10:19

My whole body is a sex organ... does your DP concentrate solely on your vulva?

Garrylous · 10/01/2010 10:21

"My whole body is a sex organ... "

ROFL

seeker · 10/01/2010 10:24

My whole body is a temple........

Mamazon · 10/01/2010 10:27

yes i have often thought bonsoir was a dick.

bearcrumble · 10/01/2010 10:32

Hahahaha Mamazon.

Mamazon · 10/01/2010 10:32

i usually have a full brazilian because i feel cleaner and tidyer and imo i think it heightens sex.

i am currently sporting a landing strip at dp's request.

i dont think its terrible that in a relationship he has asked if you would want to give it a try but if he is pressurising you then that is wrong.

if you fancy giving the brazilian a try then shave it all off first. it'll last a couple of days and give him the sexual thrill for a couple of days. then you can decide if you like it and if you wish to go to the effort of getting an proper wax.
if you dont the hair will be back within a week.
