Taking It All Off

When I returned from my two week trip to England last year, I wanted to do something special for my Thursday date with S.  I'd bought some really fantastic lingerie in London, which I knew would be a hit, but I wanted to do something unexpected, something that would totally take S by surprise. So, I decided to get a Brazilian.

OK, I know Brazilians are old news - so old, in fact, that my friend John recently told me that bush is back in vogue. Sigh. I can't keep up with all the trends. I passed on the Brazilian bandwagon all these years because I like a little hair down there, and my past partners have never complained about my Kid n' Play. But, I knew early on that S liked it hairless - he asked me, on our 5th or 6th date, if he could shave me. I thought it was such an exciting request - oddly intimate to let someone I barely knew get all up in my business, yes, but sexy all the same. It was less a criticism of my grooming habits than an exciting new form of foreplay - S made that clear. It did turn out to be fantastic - I had to let go of my fears and insecurities and really appreciate how much I was being appreciated. He did an excellent, thorough job, and commented on how smooth it was as he fucked me afterwards.

I returned from England on a Tuesday, and my date was two days later, so I didn't have a lot of time to find an aesthetician. I wanted someone good, but of course, the good ones are booked up weeks in advance. I searched Yelp and totally lucked out with Simply Gorgeous Day Spa in Oakland. They have a four star rating, and they also have an online appointment scheduling system - so I was able to choose my aesthetician, treatment, and appointment time all online. That was especially helpful since I decided to get waxed at about 7a.m. - I was able to book an appointment at 10am later that same day.

My aesthetician, Christina, was great - she was gentle, fast, and thorough. For those of you who have not yet experienced the magic that is a completely hairless vagina - do it! At least once. It is truly a fantastic feeling, and they even wax your butt if you'd like. I never realized how hairy my butt was until it was completely bare. It is an amazing feeling. And, it had the effect I wanted - S was totally blown away by my surprise.

  1. Yay! New post... but please tell us about the after effects. I am curious but very wary of the itchy, stubbly, ugly process of regrowth and I don't know that I can commit to regular maintenance.

  2. Ok, hi! (I just figured out how to respond on my blog!!) I did a search for "stubble after bikini wax" and I found this blog post from Waxing the City, which happens to be located in Denver:

    My lady used hard wax, which is the good kind for bikini waxing, and I wasn't particularly itchy afterwards. I stayed pretty smooth for a week or two, and then I had that lovely fuzzy crew cut look that I really like. I also used this stuff for men called Bump Stopper - its basically alcohol which helps prevent ingrown hairs.

    Yeah, maintenance - I haven't been back since October, and I'm feeling pretty Grizzly Adams down there. I think its time for round two...

    And, now that I've learned how to comment, I am going to respond to your corset question from last year...
