It’s a traditional thing in Korea. Another bout of silliness from the folks who brought us Fan Death, but it is not made up to fool white people. I’ve seen way more Koreans than white people having it at my local Korean bathspas. ---

I have heard of women in northern Africa smoking their ladyparts with acacia branches. Joanna Lumley did it on one of her travel shows. Hadn’t heard of steaming though. ---

I’m guessing that you can ask for “No Starch”. Whats scary is how similar a tanning bed type set up might look to a dry cleaners steam press. I sure hope unlicensed “clinics” don’t pop up trying to multi-task equipment. “Now you just lie right here.” “There isn’t a lot of room…” “This is a Gwyneth Paltrow spa therapy; its intended for people who are in shape.” “Well… alright…” “Now, put your ankles behind your ears…” _Grunt…Grunt_ “OK, what happens next…?” "Well, there are some options. Do you want pre-treatment to get any spots out? Also, we have a Gold Package deal that offers Simonizing and an under-carriage scrub. “Well… ok…” "Ready? “I guess…” _ **FA-ZAAAH-SHHWOOOOSSSH!!!** _ _ **EEEEIIIIIIIII-GGGGHHHHHH** _ “Now, we guarantee it will stay crispy & crunchy for at least 4 hours, but you should avoid pouring red wine directly on it.” “ **Owwwww! Owwwww! Owwwww! You Steam Cooked My Hoo-Ha!** ” “Yes, and with No Glutten!” ---

Fifty years ago it was an outhouse and a copy of the Sears catalog - now it’s Gwyneth freaking Paltrow holding her hoo-hah over an repurposed Stanley Steamer. Kids today. Regards, Shodan [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vaginal-steaming/711388.md?page=2)
