      Oh god confession time: This was sugaring, I just figured I’d use the more mainstream term in the post title. Thank you though, and yeah it’s SO much nicer than the alternative. That and DIYing a good shave scrub has done absolute wonders for my skin!

      Sugaring is great for cleanup, just melts away with some warm water. 😋 Its just harder to find a waxer that does guys and also does sugaring 🙃.

        I’ve never seen a guy at the place I go to, never thought of it before! Come one world, we need bare boners too!

          A not insignificant amount of places that do waxing won’t accept male clients or at the very least anything in the bikini area 🫤 It kind of depends where you live though

            I asked my esthi friend who does all my ensmoothening, kinda figuring it would be just “a handful of asshole dudes ruining it for everyone” but it turns out no: apparently because the skin on the balls & around the base of the shaft is so thin and elastic, it’s extremely easy to cause serious injury (the word “tearing” was used in ways that made my eyes water, and I don’t even have that anatomy…). Most beauty schools don’t even teach it for safety reasons, so people just don’t know how to do it. A friend of theirs is a guy specializing in it, and apparently he’s booked out months in advance because of his reputation for doing it without bruising his clients.

            The more you know, right?
