Q&A for How to Do a Male Brazilian Wax

I worker as a waxer, and guys get erections all the time. It is better to get one before applying the wax. If you feel one coming on, just tell your waxer -- we are professionals, and it does not bother us at all.

Some people do experience pain and swelling after waxing, but it's not a guarantee.

The pain will be about the same, but the waxing process will be easier.

Laser treatments and electrolysis. Laser is quicker, but more painful and more expensive. It's usually a service provided for facial hair, so it may be difficult to find a practitioner who does pubic hair.

Just old enough to know it's what you want to do. Ultimately it's going to grow back.

It depends on how much pain you can handle, but I would strongly recommend against this. (You could also risk causing some actual skin damage.)

There is always a risk, but it will only hurt a few days.

You can either wax or shave it, but be very careful regardless of the method you choose.

You can wax!

Getting waxed every 6 weeks is the best interval. It's likely to take at least 4 weeks for the hair to grow to the required length for the wax to "grip."

Pulling hair from the root consistently makes your hair grow thinner and slower. There may be a point for some people where it would stop altogether but I think that would take at least a couple of years of consistent waxing. If you start out with coarse hair it may never be gone, but it might thin out a bit.

If done incorrectly, skin can rip off if the scrotum during waxing. If you don't have the correct technique/training, major damage can be done. You should always go to a professional to ensure that you do not cause irreparable damage.

If that happens you would probably not pull out that many hairs. You will have to repeat the action in the direction of hair growth

It depends on what kind of hair you are talking about. You'll have stubble in a day or two. Head hair will take a month or so to grow back out to a short length, and most likely years to grow out long. For body hair, it'll be undetectable that it was ever shaved in three to four weeks.

Yes. Waxing in general is painful for both men and women.

You can't remove hair permanently at home.

It depends; normally it takes about 1–2 weeks, but if you want a wax to last longer, try waxing 5–6 times in the same 2- to 3-month period.

No. It will, in fact, grow slower because the hair needs to regrow from the hair follicle. It will also be finer.

No. Other treatments may help, such as laser hair removal. Hair grows in intervals hence why waxing can be easily maintained over weeks instead of shaving. Shaving usually lasts a few days. If you want permanent removal, then use other methods.

It's best to use natural lotions and avoid those with lots of chemicals in them. The best natural lotion would be coconut oil.

It's best to let it grow out for 2 weeks before you schedule a Brazilian wax.

Trimming is appropriate before a waxing service. You want the hair about the length of an eyelash or grain of rice. Any shorter and the wax will not grip and remove the hair. Its encouraged that you continue to wax once you've begun. Each waxing service will become easier and the hair will start growing in thinner and softer.

Yes. That is what a Brazilian wax is for. Be sure to go to a licensed person.

Hairs do grow on a penis, much like any other body part on a male. Wax does not remove permanently but it does keep it smooth for a little while. You could ask your partner to take a shower with you and you could have them shave and you could make it sensual.

Yes, this is true. The more you wax, the more you "damage" the hair follicles that grow your hair. Over time, you may notice that the hair that grows in after waxing is thinner or patchier than it used to be. However, this is usually not permanent, and if you stop waxing for a while, your hair will likely grow back like it normally does.

Yes, it's likely that after waxing for the first time, you will experience some pain and discomfort. Take care of yourself by wearing loose cotton underwear and moisturizing well. As you wax more often, you'll get used to the discomfort, and you won't feel as bad afterward.
