A nice fondle or even some rough ball play could be nice, but ripping hot wax off of your junk at lightning speed — yeah, not so much.
Waxing anything hurts like hell, so when it’s something as delicate and fleshy as your balls, it can be cringe worthy to even think about.
Yet guys are doing it! Services like the "manzilian" are popping up on menus at waxing salons for good reason to give men that bare, perfectly groomed look.
Waxing the balls isn’t super common among men (to be honest) but for those who may be tempted to try it out, listen to these three brave, brave men’s advice on what exactly to expect.
Why did you do get waxed?
Man 1: I was joking with my girlfriend about how waxing doesn’t seem that painful because she always complained about her Brazilian wax and waxing her legs and stuff. Somehow that joke turned into a dare and I ended up going to get it done to prove her wrong.
Man 2: I was always shaving my whole area because I like more of a groomed look, but I wasn’t getting the look I wanted. I’d get rashes down there from razor burn. I figured it’d be interesting to try a wax and didn’t think too much about the balls, more just the other areas.
Man 3: My girlfriend told me she loved that I was groomed down there. I was not really hairy because I’d shave and clean it a bit. I wondered if she’d like all bare so I asked and she said yes. I wanted to please her and didn’t realize how much it’d hurt.
What did getting waxed feel like?
Man 1: It was the worst experience of my life. SO PAINFUL. The wax lady had me hold my scrotum skin taut in whatever directions they wanted while they applied the wax and then peeled it off. She had me get up on all fours and then she waxed my ass crack and the rest of my balls after.
Man 2: It hurt so bad, but I also got hard, which is weird and doesn’t make sense. This was one of the least sexy moments of my life and still I got erect as she was holding me and ripping off wax. She starts to do my nuts, and just when I thought it couldn't hurt worse, I lied! It hurt worse and the woman kept slapping me after she pulled a slab of wax up and got the hairs, slapping and ripping hair out the whole time.
Man 3: It didn’t feel good. It was really hot wax and I didn’t know what to expect. But the inner thigh and butt crack hurt way more than the balls. The balls were probably least painful part, honestly. She had me hold the skin in places to help out, which I guess helped but I still hurt like crazy and I just wanted it to be over.
Would you get waxed again?
Man 1: No. My girlfriend couldn’t believe I did it. She actually liked it but knew I’d never go back.
Man 2: Yeah, I actually did it again 'cause I did like the results. It's nice to not have to worry about shaving other parts and the balls kind of just go with the package. They weren’t the worst part anyway.
Man 3: Hell no.
Did your partner like it?
Man 1: Yeah, but it’s not happening again.
Man 2: I wasn’t dating anyone, but the people who I slept with in that time seemed to like it and comment or not really say anything. No bad reviews that I know of, but also don’t plan on doing it again.
Man 3: Yeah, she freaking loved it. Guys, if you want to give her a birthday present that’s it... Kidding. I’m NEVER doin' that ever again.
What are your tips for men who want to get a wax?
Man 1: Scream “Kelly Clarkson,” The 40-Year-Old Virgin-style! Let it all out and be crazy if you need to be, because this is painful!Get through it how you need to.
Man 2: Know that it’s gonna hurt and be prepared for it. Definitely don’t do it on a dare like me but do it if you want it done for you. Listen to the wax person when she tells you how to hold skin and stuff because that will help. Don’t just start yelling because then it will be worse.
Do you recommend waxing?
Man 1: No, I don’t think it’s necessary, but trimming of the area is nice and appreciated. A razor or scissors or something can do that, too.
Man 2: I don’t mind it but I also value my skincare and grooming down there. I wouldn’t say that it’s necessary for all guys.
Man 3: Hell no.
