Waxing smooth for men a good idea?

So my Bf is always bugging me to stay waxed (I do all over) and I finally turned the tables and told him he needed to also which was kind of a joke but he took me seriously and waxed everything including his legs and his armpits which is a little weird. We’ve been dating for like 3 months and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s seems a little metrosexual for me but I dunno his smooth skin does feel good against mine.

Anyone have any experience with this? What do you think?

    If you guys like it, carry on. Yes, your brain will find it odd for a while, because it's not what you're used to, but that may go away. (Or not.)

    I'm used to seeing women without armpit hair, so my brain found it odd when I was places where women didn't shave, but it eventually stopped registering. Ditto someone's nose ring and someone else's wandering eye (amblyopia).

    My husband just admitted to an interest in waxing his back. I'm trying to be supportive without acting too excited.

    i know many women who are in the same boat ;)

    His body, his choice. Just as it should be your body, your choice.

    Just gonna say that to me, the speed with which he jumped on your joking suggestion conjures up some thoughts about why he was so insistent that you wax all over. Of course, he may still need the OP to provide him with the "excuse" to do what he really wanted all along.

    Yes, your brain is programmed opposite to mine. I only have one mother and one wife, but I read enough to notice that a different fashion has developed around us over the years. So I begin to look out for it a bit more in public places like the beach, and there's no definite consensus where I am.

    Well, my opinion is irrelevant to what you should find attractive. If you like it, you do you. If its comfortable for him and to him I guess thats the important thing. Just like if you don't want to wax...your choice.

    Imo he can't tell you what to do and you shouldnt tell him what to do.. its just hair. Its not a big deal. Your body is yours and you're allowed to not always be on top of things hair wise. You have a life besides just grooming yourself. He shouldn't hound you about it.

    What would you do if his body was naturally fairly hairless? Make him grow hair?

    I’m not going to comment on whether you will continue to find his waxed body unusual, but I will say that nobody has a right to tell us what to do with our bodies. We all find different things a turn off and it’s defo a good idea to be honest with your partner, but one should never impose our ideals on the person we love. Please do what YOU want - if he struggles to accept that then maybe he isn’t the right one for you...

    It really depends on what he feels comfortable with too and what makes him happy. Hair or no hair can be hot either way!
