grooming
Picking: a couples grooming ritual some consider horrendous, but others love.
My husband is leaning over the bathroom sink, and instantly I'm lured from my comfort zone on the couch. I'm seduced by how the fluorescent light outlines the curve of his bicep, the muscles of his back. He looks up and returns my devilish smirk in the mirror's reflection. I make my move.
A bright red zit in the small of his back has come to a head—and I must have at it this instant.
"I don't get why this amuses you," he sighs, exasperated at my zeal.
"Because your body is no longer yours," I calmly explain. "It's mine."
Gross? Uh, yeah. But … Read More
"Experts" say that women like a hairless man, but are they right?
Back in junior high health class, we were told that the sudden appearance of hair on our nether regions and underarms (not to mention our arms and legs, and for boys — chests) wasn't just fine, it was a healthy indicator that we were developing into adult sexual beings with the fur to hold onto our new sexy scents.
But outside of health class, most of us humans of the female variety were told that our new hair was unsightly, something to be gotten rid of, bleached, or ridiculed. We were bombarded with ads for chemical hair removers and pink lady … Read More
Comedienne Brooke Van Poppelen implores men to think twice before shaving their crotches.
Our friendsters over at Lemondrop (actually comedienne Brooke Van Poppelen) have something they want to say and it boils down to this: "Guys, don't shave your junk."
The video is worth checking out, as is their message board; lots of strong opinions about this one. But here comes the nuts and bolts of the deal: does a dude's business really need shaving? Read: Manscaping The Land Down Under
In a strictly quid pro quo sense of things, the answer is "sure, what's good for the goose is good for the gander." But that little idiom fails to take … Read More

Love Bytes: three must click sex, dating and relationship links.
A Miami U.S. Roman Catholic priest was photographed frolicking with a woman on a Florida beach and very quickly called it quits with God. [Reuters]
Father Alberto Cutie said he had fallen in love with the woman and broken his vow of celibacy. He apologized for his behavior, but told the Univision Spanish-language television network, "I didn't stop being a man just because I put on a cassock. There are trousers under this cassock."

Has the metrosexual epoch hit a crescendo with male nether region shaving?
Modern men (some of 'em) are embracing their feminine side as modern women (some of 'em) are becoming more masculine. (Pretty soon we'll start going to the doctor before an injury is life-threatening.) As this Yin-Yang convergence occurs, interest in his looks, clothing and grooming is surging. Nowadays nearly a one-hundredth* of the shelf space for personal care items in pharmacies is now dedicated to men. Things like shave butter, hair "product" and David Beckham have colored how [some] men now comport themselves.
So it was pretty much inevitable that the era of women being bare "down there" would migrate … Read More

The economy is being unfairly blamed for a resurgence of female pubic hair.
YourTango's Sarah Harrison reported on Friday (December 12th) that the economy had really begun to hit women where it hurts: the crotch (Economy Influences Pubic Hair Styles). Evidently, a decent waxing (the Brazilian wax, mane) job costs roughly $50 - $80 and lasts 3 – 6 weeks. So, to stay hairless down there, it'll run ya about $720 per annum or enough to buy a pretty OK surround sound system. And over your lifetime could threaten to run in the millions (my math may be wrong).

His haircut may be a battle that you should just avoid.
A man's hair is, to paraphrase fictional GE honcho Jack Donaghy, a suit for his head. And as his head suit, it's his calling card to the world at-large. His hair says (not literally, that would be silly), "I'm the kind of guy who would have this exact haircut." Like all things, first impressions aren't always right. Sometimes the guy with a pompadour likes the hip hop music. Maybe the dude with a South Carolina (think Jim Carrey's hair in Dumb and Dumber) hates the outdoors and doesn't even own croakies. The point is, he has an image that … Read More
