It's just a trend.
That's what I keep telling myself.
It's a trend from porn and soon they'll tire of it.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

ita, my co-workers and I just had a quick discussion on teratomas, and concluded that "teratoma" should be sung to the tune of "Oklahoma!"
We also learned that if you image-google "tumor with teeth," the results are just as disturbing as image-googling "teratoma," but there are fewer images of babies when using the first phrase.

Oh, no, Jessica, you're supposed to be specially waxed before giving birth, you know.
Also, your husband is not supposed to be there in the labor room, in case he never wants to have sex with you again. (There was an article about this in the New York Times, I shit you not.)

The status is NOT quo.
And yet, I wax from time to time. Does this make me a hypocrite? I didn't get my first wax until my mid-20s.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thongs for pre-teens.
I know they are sexy, but I just think of them as a way to avoid VPL. So I'm always startled when people think they're inappropriate for kids.
I never cared about VPL, and I guess it's a more 'adult' concern.
I wish it weren't, though. We go to such lengths (in theory) to pretend we're not wearing undies.
eta: Steph, yeah, that was a particularly distressing slant to the results of my image search.

It only makes you a hypocrite if you did it in spite of a horrible infection that resulted from a previous wax.
Actually, that wouldn't make you a hypocrite, just crazy.
Otherwise, no, it doesn't make you a hypocrite. Just well-groomed.

Butt writing on pre-teens bugs me.
In the Wikipedia Teratoma article:
Use in basic research In light of the ethical issues surrounding the source of human stem cells, teratomas are being looked at as an alternative source for research since they lack the potential to grow into functional human beings.
That's pretty cool!

I think that the difference is that I make that choice without expecting others to make it too and without thinking I am "dirty" if I don't. Plus? I think hairy boy parts deserve a chance for waxing too. Dammit.

I'd think the full monty wax would lose some of its charm if it were an always thing.

The people I know that do it consider it just that.
