Not something to read over breakfast but if you really want to make yourself cringe take a look at Christopher Hitchens’ excruciating account of his recent back, sack and crack wax.
Waxing your legs will seem like floating on clouds after reading this.
What is the world coming to when we feel the need to improve ourselves by going through this kind of torture? I don’t think men are so bothered by their looks that this can be worth it especially as the process will have to be suffered over and over again – probably every 4 weeks or so. And then in between there are the agonies of all those potential ingrown hairs in awkward little places waiting to drive you to distraction with incessant itching where you can’t scratch – at least not in public.
I know we girls suffer in the name of beauty but there’s not that much pain involved in most things – even leg waxing once you get used to it. I don’t think men are ever going to get desensitized to this kind of body waxing in their most sensitive places.
And really guys, you don’t need to go through these agonies for us in the name of beauty (or vanity). Get rid of the hairy back, if you like, but as for the rest we love you just the way you are.
