Waxing Your Junk: One Man’s Experience

Michael Patrick, writer for Beauty News NYC, has gone where few would dare. While it’s becoming increasingly commonplace for men to shave their boys and prune the upper hedges, to mix metaphors, only the rarified gent has the stones to get them (gulp) waxed. Patrick took this one for the team and reported back:

Diane started on one side of my groin and worked her way across with intense attention to detail. Slowly and painfully, section by section, I went from the proverbial peaches to nectarines.

Patrick offers a few tips at the end of his brief but concise article, including what appears to be the must crucial advice on the matter for intrigued parties:

2: Be sure that you have at least ¼ inch of hair to work with. If you have less hair, the results won’t be as clean or smooth and the experience will be more painful.

Though I haven’t tried this particular treatment thus far myself, I might also add that a few cocktails prior to one’s appearance at the salon may well aid in overcoming the nerves; I would assume that, for most men, it’s not the pain that we fear so much as the humility of baring our boys to some stranger with hot wax and a tongue depressor.

So. Who’s down for some nut waxing?
