Beauty Is Pain

I just got waxed.

I expected it to hurt. But no one told me it would bleed, for god's sake.

What did you think would happen? Hairs are being pulled out by their roots.

What I thought would happen was that it would hurt. I was certainly right about that part.

Well, now you're prepared for your next appointment.

Who are you calling "little?"

i've been waxed several times and never had a problem with bleeding. actually, i've never heard of anyone bleeding from waxing. i'm curious how common that actually is.

My boy has bled. His was probably due to ineptitude on the part of the waxer, since he's been waxed before and since with no problem. They may have just become careless, doing a large area on lawnrrd.

Well, this woman has also taken care of my wife's dainty bits for several years now, so I expect she's competent. In hindsight, it doesn't surprise me that there were some blood spots, considering what she had to work with.

I've bled before from waxing. What I was told at the time was that my hair was long so it yanked more.. or something like that.

These days all I wax is my eyebrows :)

In one of nature's little jests, my eyebrows are about all I don't need to wax. Yet.

I have to know; just what exactly did you wax?

I've been waxing for about 20 years, and it gets much easier with time. But I did bleed the first time, and sometimes a bit if I let it go too long.

Back and shoulders. The shoulders were the tricky part.

Of course, now I can go to the beach without people throwing red paint on me and yelling "Fur is dead!"

Hey, some of us love body hair on men; mine is absolutely covered in it :-)

It's the "too much of a good thing" principle.
