Should You Manscape?
December 10, 2009
Is a hairy man sexy? Depends on who you ask. Some men and women are attracted to hairy males — they love the look, feel, and downright virility of it. Others prefer a clean slate, so to speak. What’s a man to do, if he doesn’t know the taste of the person sitting by him at the bar?
A recent article about “manscaping” says the while the recession has caused women to spend less on grooming, more men are hitting spas for hair removal services. Neck, back, chest, arms, fingers and groins are all being strrrrrrrrripped of hair (Guys, don’t look for sympathy from your female friends — a Brazilian wax ain’t no picnic).
The increase in body waxing may be relaxed to the rarely hairy bodies in magazines, films, advertisements, etc. I can’t recall the last time a hirsute man was picked as one of People’s Sexiest Men Alive. But that’s not to say a hairy guy can’t be hot if he tries. That’s where manscaping comes in.
Manscaping is to the body what a good hairstyle is to your head. It enhances your looks and calls attention to your most important features. Go for the bare, glistening look if you want to flaunt your body. But otherwise, trim, wax or shave only selected areas that’ll count the most, i.e., the backs of your hands, your neck and your feet and ankles, and your pubic area. You don’t have to shave off your body hair, but do tame it enough so that people notice you, not your hair.
Some couples find it arousing to groom each others’ bodies. If that’s true for you, stick to the scissors and shaver, and leave the wax to the experts. Nothing’s sexy about a wax burn in a very sensitive spot.
Here’s the full article that I mentioned earlier.
