I dunno. I know it _looks_ offensive, but I posted on the heels of a pretty down-and-dirty discussion of balls, hair, sack, taint, etc., and nobody seemed to be too put off by the blue streak. I won’t lie: I deliberately gave it as provocative title. I knew it was crass. Guilty as charged. But I make light of things sometimes. Perhaps I shouldn’t. No major offense to anyone was meant. That’s pretty much it for my mea culpas. Sadly, not too many testimonials. Guess I didn’t ask the right way. ---

I don’t think it could be considered _offensive_. After all how could you be offended by something you would have done. It’s more along the lines of dirty and maybe a bit perverted. But then look at the rest of the stuff here on the boards, my own threads included. 😛 ---

I did it once, as I had been told it would make oral sex more pleasurable. The waxing hurt a whole lot, I didn’t see much of a difference in my sex life, and neither my boyfriend or I liked the way it looked. So now for the most part, I shave or wax _almost_ all, and trim what’s left. I do tend to get lazy at times, though, especially during the winter. ---

As you’ll find quoted pretty much everywhere on the 'net… > [@](#): > > A Brazilian wax removes everything in your nether regions, front and back, leaving you completely smooth everywhere under your underwear. With a Brazilian wax, you’ll never have to worry about “escaping tendrils” again. And I thought a ‘tendril’ was a type of sea urchin ! ---

Thank you, **Elret** … So, survey says, thus far, not worth it. Most notably, you were given a specific, practical recommendation (will improve sensation during cunnilugus, I’m assuming), but for you this proved unreliable. Interesting… ---

i suspect that the sites claiming that a brazilian involves all hair removal are the same ones discussing 35 triple g busts. technically, there is a patch of hair left. (though if you like, you can ask your beautician for a complete wax - i’m sure they’ll be happy to get rid of that as well.)

(mild hijack) I am a veterinarian. About once every year or two I have a client (typically a female over the age of 70) who refers to her cat as her pussy. Funniest was a cat with a ruptured abcess. Smelled like something died. And the little old lady who was very hard of hearing told the receptionist in a loud voice, “MY PUSSY SMELLS HORRIBLE”. This was in a packed waiting room.
