Simple question:
I have maybe 10 or 12 wiry black hairs on my back. They grow on the area around my shoulder blades and I usually ask my wife to pluck them out. Why do I do it? I just…like it. It hurts a little bit, but not too much. And I usually inspect each one for a few seconds after she does it. Weird or not weird?
Sometimes I ask her to do my toe hair, too. She usually turns me down 
If it works for you and she agrees to do it, why do you care?
Dude, with some careful searching you could turn up a number of threads on here about the joys of popping your partner’s hard-to-reach zits for them. Typically these are written by women, too. You sound terribly normal.
Weird.
Oh yeah. I do her blackheads all the time!
I think grooming is sort of genetically programmed into us. Or that’s how I’ve explained it when I used it as a pickup line…
…don’t judge me, I was younger back then.
So she plucks each hair, then passes it to you for inspection? Yeah, I’d call that somewhat weird.
Right. She plucks it out with tweezers, gives it to me, I look at it for a few seconds, then throw it away.
I dunno…I enjoy it. She seems grossed out by it but does it anyway.
I once had a girlfriend who used to enjoy plucking out the whiskers that one day would grow into my marvelous, trustworthy full beard.
Go big or go home. have her pluck your sack hairs one at a time. Then you would max out whatever you are getting from it.
:eek:
I cringe at the very thought.
Not weird, unless you’re whooping and high-fiving as she hands you each hair or crying and masturbating during, or something. I really enjoy having my eyebrows waxed - it’s the little investigatory stroking motions the beautician makes with the tweezers when she’s looking for stray hairs afterwards. Really relaxing - I find it more relaxing than something like a massage, even. I guess the back-hair thing is something similar?
Ook. Oook ook ooh ooh ah. Ook.
My husband gets ingrown hairs all over his body. Every now and then he’ll come to me and ask me to check a spot that’s bothering him. Sometimes he’ll say “I just want you to LOOK, don’t pluck!” And I refuse to just look. If I see an ingrown hair or a zit, it’s my duty and privilege to remove it. So he has to decide whether he wants me to actually remove whatever’s bothering him, or if he has to shut up about it. He usually wants to inspect each hair I pluck out from him, too.
If I pluck a hair from myself, I want to inspect it. However, after visiting the electrologist, I have far fewer hairs to pluck. I’ve saved a lot of time this way.
I don’t know. Is it weird that I’m so obsessed with grooming my husband’s eyebrows (a few grow out straight like unicorns) that everytime I see this emoticon, I want to pluck its errant eyebrow out. -->:dubious:
I think I get it, kidneyfailure. I shave my pubes, but when it’s gettin’ on toward the end of the week, they’ve grown out long enough to tweeze, and I rather do take pleasure in plucking the few who stray a little too far from the triangular formation. It hurts a bit, but there’s also a feeling of satisfaction, even of pride, in inspecting the hair, comparing the depth of the root to the length of the exposed portion, etc.
FWIW, I’m female, 22-years-old, and my boyfriend does think it’s odd.
I no longer feel like such a freak.
::sniff sniff::
Yeah, I vote pretty weird.
I love to ask my husband to investigate my back for blackheads. When he squeezes them it HURTS and I squeal and beg him to stop.
Somehow, he doesn’t love the whole ritual as much as I do.
I’ve had not one but several boyfriends who loved loved loved to cruise the contours of their faces for that errant hair sticking out, then YANK that mofo out. Happy happy happy. They were J-blokes*, so the hairs were thicker and easier to grab/yank out.
Ick.
