Subject: RE: How Many People Wax Their Body Parts (opposed to shaving)mchubri` - 2009-10-21 10:29 AM
It took me a while to become comfortable wearing spandex, that is enough emasculation I'm willing to give up for this sport. Can't bring myself to shave or wax legs or chest. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a lil "cleanup" and "manscaping" but to take it all off is a bit much for me. I just don't see the reward benefit. I am also not a pro!
This of course is entirely my personal preferance, and I do not judge those who do participate. Wax away!
I looked up emasculation, and here's what the google dictionary said.
Noun
S: (n ) emasculation (loss of power and masculinity )
S: (n ) castration, emasculation (neutering a male animal by removing the testicles )
I can see how removing body hair makes one feel a loss of masculinity, but wearing spandex kind of has the opposite effect doesn't it? Your masculinity is a little more exposed. Unless it's too tight, then maybe it could feel like you're being castrated?
I attempted to have my back waxed once, as I've mentioned on a back hair thread, and it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I only made it through one strip being pulled off. It was nice to not have to shave that section for a few weeks, but not nice enough to endure the pain. So I guess it could be that I'm not masculine enough to endure waxing.
