I agree. It's typical that extremes would be brought up, and it's pretty hilarious that one person's grooming choice triggers people into assuming they think like a porn star.
The OP even got personally attacked (thankfully deleted) for asking questions.
Yeah, I want to thank the mod for deleting it. It is demoralizing when people make judgments over other people's grooming choices. Many men manscape today; some men like body hair on themselves; some don't. And even women today have different preferences on men; some think body hair on men is attractive and some don't. I feel in today's society, there's no wrong choice as either way is acceptable. So men should be allowed to do what they want and not be judged for it. I even have a male colleague who gets his eyebrows waxed. I personally don't do it and never would because I'm happy with my eyebrows as is, but I would never judge him for it. It's his choice and if that's what makes him happy, then good for him!
By the way, how likely are infections from bikini wax? I was doing more reading about it and heard there's a chance of getting infections. Anyone ever experience an infection from a bikini wax? Now I'm scared more than ever...

It's not because it's addicting tho IMO........that's about the normal time a brazilian wax lasts. Up to 6 wks but it depends on your health & age. Be sure to use an after wax oil product to calm & moisturize the skin.
edit: AND....I know this thread is super old BUT....I wouldn't have it done for the 1st time before a vacation.

If anyone wants a medical opinion, there's this article from long ago, older even than the beginning of this thread:

I've been getting waxed (Brazilian) for almost 20 years (same woman.) Knock on wood, I've never had an infection or an issue when waxed. I was more prone to small infections from ingrown hairs when I shaved.

Ita. It can happen BUT it's not that common....tho it is seen a little more in women with diabetes & older women where their immunity is lowered... or in cases where the esthetician didn't perform the procedure the right way. It's super important to get an experienced & licensed esthetician that makes you comfortable tho if it's something you're going to do.
Thanks everyone. I went ahead and made the appointment. However, the appointment won't be until towards the end of the month because I have to grow the hair long enough. I read it must be 1/4" in length at minimum, so this will be the annoying part. I hate having to grow it this long, but I guess if it leads to the best results from the waxing, then I just have to deal with it.
The place I'm going to has good reviews, but it's $75 for men, which is quite pricey. If I end up liking the results, then I probably will end up getting lasered because in the long run, laser is cheaper. Waxing will cost around $1,000 a year while laser will just be a one time cost of $1,000 total. So, we'll see how things go and what I decide to do later on...

I was just wondering why being completely bare down there became such a thing? Was it because porn stars were doing it and people thought it looked cool? Was it becoming typical in other countries? Brazil, maybe? I certainly wasn't implying anything snarky. Just wanted to know what started this trend.
