This is what one major American newspaper had to say on the subject of male waxing recently:
“If you think only metrosexuals, swimmers, or triathletes would choose to go totally bare down there, think again. Hairlessness among men is surging in popularity for all types of guys, from straight to ultra conservative to liberal, according to the New York Times. Men are losing it, from their chest to well, well below the belt.”
“It’s definitely not just the downtown guys getting waxed anymore,” agrees a top hair removal expert from a leading salon in New York City, who says the chain has seen a rise in male clients by almost 30 percent this year alone. “Guys are doing it not only because it makes them feel cleaner, but also for the illusion of the ‘optical inch’—by minimizing hair you maximize the appearance of other parts.”
