So for a while now you’ve probably heard about women shaving their girlie regions and getting Brazilian Waxes. By my estimation it really caught on in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Shows like Sex and the City introduced many women young and cougar to these concepts.
The male version of getting rid of pubic hair has been given the term “Manscaping”. Though Manscaping can also refer to the grooming of hair on the chest and back as well.
While many women and men use a razor to get rid of pubes, I choose to use my beard trimmer. I find no reason to go near my gigglebits with sharp objects like razors. The beard trimmer gets as close as I deem necessary without fear of cutting myself.
Manscaping, it has been reasoned, gives the illusion of a larger package as well. Like the insanely innapropriate Gillete commercial below, “Trimming the underbrush makes the tree look bigger”.
One guy who probably wished he did some manscaping was a friend of mine during his Bachelor Party weekend. We had him whipped on stage at a Gentlemans Club in Montreal and the strippers proceeded to strip him of all his clothing (and dignity). So there he is on stage, naked and the strippers are abusing his ass with whips, meanwhile the man was hiding a forest beneath his underwear. A flaccid member usually isnt known for impressing people but a flaccid member hidden by 3 inches of pubes just makes you look like your hung like a hamster. And spare me the gay phobic statements, if your friend is naked on stage with strippers beating him unmercifully, you are going watch, it was a train wreck and completely hilarious.
So how do you guys do your manscaping, Razor, Beard-Trimmer? Do you get waxed by a 40+ year old Russian Woman?
