... And blaming us Brazilians for this madness :mad: :p
So, is the "Brazilian Wax" a thing in Brazil? I almost feel like I've wasted my life on TA without asking this before, even though I've almost certainly asked this before. Or does everyone, male and female, just go full bush?
If the latter, how did this get labelled as a Brazilian???

I thought it was because Brazilians prefer having sex with under age girls. Thus the term stuck to getting a wax down there.
Btw labeled has only one "l" and I don't know why but I'm sure Lira would be happy to tell you.

"Labelled" has three L's, what are you talking about? It's always had, just as "colour" has a "u" :D

Haha, yes and no. The wax itself has existed for as long as I can remember, but it was used mostly for details. Then a group of Brazilian beauticians took it to NYC and cranked it up to eleven, from what I've read, and decided to stop beating around the bush.
Except for urbanites born after the 90s grown with foreign porn, I'm willing to bet money full waxing is rare around here. Being born just a decade earlier, I just find it weird and unhygienic.

So you literally are a jungle who happens to live in a jungle. Or there is a jungle inside and outside your pants.

Here you are complaining about Dawkins and you post that. :stongue: 1 part fact 10 parts fear mongering and exaggeration.

Pubic hair does have a purpose, providing a cushion against friction that can cause skin abrasion and injury, protection from bacteria and other unwanted pathogens
I can't wait to hear the scientific explanation of this. Would it be a good idea for surgeons to wear pubic masks?
Why aren't we all dropping dead from microscopic shaving wounds infections. Should we set a moratorium on all shaving? Head, face, legs, and arm pits since it's unsanitary? I'm dying to know.

I don't know how surgeons work in NYC, but unless they're rubbing their faces against other peoples' bodies, I don't see why it would. It seems to reduce the effects of friction, which is an inherent part of how human reproduction works.

I'm not sure you've heard of antibodies, or if you're read the article I linked to, as it says pubes make the body more resistant to herpes and other small infections, not life-threatening diseases. But it's mostly because there are quite a few stages between "pristine health" and "impending death".

Why, of all people, are you worried about shaving your head!? :p
Anyway, context matters. Eyebrows are useful to protect the eyes, scientists don't know what armpit hair is there for, so it depends.
