Just wondering if there are any guys that wax? When I was in middle school I was afraid of growing hair so I started shaving it and boy was that a bad idea. Now My body hair is out of control and I groom myself with a beard trimmer. Looking at trying waxing everything and wanted to see if anyone has experience with waxing. do's and dont's pros and cons anything.

Not a guy here, but will give my experience as I've seen quite a few variations of manscaping. First off, from a physiological point of view, your early shaving has nothing to do with your current hairiness, so let yourself off of the hook for that. It is just an old wives tail. Repeated waxing however will eventually help to thin the growth, as the repeated trauma eventually kills some of the follicles. That being said I wouldn't recommend it. Most men I know who wax, also get horrible ingrown hairs from it. If you decide to wax, perhaps just start with a test spot, and see how it goes for you.

but certain wives tales are harder to kill than others. The "don't shave because if you do it will grow in thicker" is a particularly tough one to beat back as I hear it often.

I'm not sure how a man can be *afraid* of hair but whatever. To be fair, I use a beard trimmer to trim the hair on my back and those on my testicular area. Other than that, the body hair that I have is on my chest and it's in the pattern of the superman symbol…and I work out, too ….

i said this before
waxing is waste of money and costs almost as much as laser at this point

I did the laser on my back and it's smooth as a babies behind. Laser didn't work as well on the front, to much grey and light colored hairs.

I had a couple of treatments around the crotch.  I liked the results.  The service was fun if you like a bit of pain.  (I do.)

My BF is really hairy and he knows I don't like it.  He's naturally got a very hairy chest (which I do like, so manly) but I hated his quite hairy upper arms, shoulders and back.  It looked messy and hid his muscular torso.
So I bought him a waxing a few years ago.  Neither of us knew what to expect.  The lady should have told us to trim his hair to no more than half an inch.  She just started ripping it off and it was like the scene from "40 Year Old Virgin."  IOW, it hurt him like hell.  But when it was done he looked much better.  It even motivated him to do more lifting at the gym.  Now I call him my little Greek God, LOL!
Now his routine is he uses a trimmer to keep his chest hair neat, manscapes his C&B, uses his razor on his upper arms and shoulders and gets his back waxed every 4-5 weeks.  It really does get easier after the 2nd or 3rd time because the follicles weaken.  Each waxing, which covers his entire back, costs $35.  I guess at some point he'll consider laser, but I've heard the hair actually does grow back after a while.
We are both happy with the result.

Are you originally from Massachusetts?  Amherst College is a great school.  Did you go there

thanks for the info everyone. I'm gonna look into laser and sugaring. sugaring sounds less painful lol

Cons. Yeah it grows back and it's "prickly" but you have to let it grow out a bit to do it again. Get a good body groomer a trim it down. Oh and shaving causes hair to grow back thicker is a myth One that's been disproven. So there's that ... I know it's easier that thinking your mom had sex with a Yeti  

but I do manscape.

Thanks! No, I am a Midwest native, and Purdue is my alma mater.
