WAXED: MAN OR DUCK?

Is it just me or does Brazil sound like a very masculine-sounding country? My theory is that because of this, bikini-line waxing is called such - Brazilian Waxing. By doing so, it opens up another 50% of the market - saying to men, 'Hey, it's okay for men to get a wax too!".

I certainly am not against men having a clean shave down there but it's a little bit like knowing a woman has to shave everyday - her face I mean! It's fine but duh!

A UK guy friend of mine told me the other day that more and more men are going for Brazilian waxing in London, very much like the trend in Singapore. I can't cringe enough.

The men featured in this local magazine talk about having a hairless crouch like it's going to attract more women at the pool. So like a true journalistic voyeur, I couldn't depend on my own personal views. Thus I sought the views of several women during my weekly jog to the beach.

I'm glad to report that of the 14 women whose sun-tanning privacy I invaded, only four didn't mind men who went for waxing provided it wasn't obvious when they were in their speedos. Another three were not against it at all. The rest, like me, all squirmed. (See, Missus Singapore is not so different after all!)

"We like to see some hair down there, not too much, but not bare!" seemed to be commonly echoed.

One busty Australian woman in the late 20s even went on to say that while body hair may be acceptable to some extent, "a bare groin just kills the thrill of looking at a men in the buff. It's like they are primed to be served as waxed duck or something."

I really don't mind it so much but for men to be raving about it like they did in the magazine, I've to admit that it somehow just doesn't sit right.

Missus Singapore out!
