Uday I am sorry to say Grow up man. Do you go to a physician and think yourself pervert asking him that you have rashes in groin area? I am talking about checking the barber professionally. He shaves, he do hair cut, he razes hair from underarm. Where is the rule that he can't razes pubic hair? Have you not checked with your maid, who actually do Jhaadu Pauchha inside your flat only, if she / he can clean utensils for the day, because there is a cut in your finger? First of all, it is not act of perversion but it is just a TABOO to ask such questions. For me, it is as simple as asking some uncommon questions to strangers like Is there any massage parlor nearby? People may think it is act of Perversion, but I am just looking for body relax. You are being judgmental (learnt use of this from English Vinglish). Perversion would be, if I ask this question, and he agrees too, and then during the trimming I touch him here and there. And this was not my intention, as you can see my original mail. --- Reuse Paper by Both Sided Printing On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 2:13 PM, uday krishnan m1u9...@yahoo.com wrote: I think it is not fair to look at any profession in such a perverted sense, further if he feels offended and says an yes to run the razor helter-skelter what would you tell your doctor, your handed your dick to a barbarian?

g_b Re: [gb] Have you ever asked your barber?
Well dear friendnow you have given a way to another topic of debate ...how to get rid of crabscrabs! thats the word used for pubic lice I am sure a discussion on this one will help many around here From: vgd67 vg...@yahoo.co.uk To: gaybom...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 7, 2013 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [gb] Have you ever asked your barber? This is a wonderful thread. I used to think that the only threads that drew major responses were the should gay men get married (to women) threads, but this clearly beats that. The number and detail of responses show this is clearly an issue that may be minor but still matters to a lot of gay men. I am wondering if we should set up a GB meet devoted to this subject! I'm surprised though that some people seem to assume the only reason to do this is because you think smoother is sexier (and maybe more feminine, if that's the way you like it). But there's also a practical, if not exactly pleasant reason for shaving - those nasty little critters called pubic lice. Surely most people here have got them at some time, and had to resort to shaving and trying to find and pluck the creatures out (a boyfriend really helps here and it is something like a test of how close you are, because the plucking is intimate, but too painful to be erotic) and then dousing with something like Lindane?

I tried using a razor many years ago and ended up cutting myself. Also the hair grew back pretty prickly in the perianal and scrotal areas - made red rashes down there, itchy and painful.

To: gay_bombay@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, 4 January, 2013, 5:33 PM Tintin use a hair removing cream like Veet, Anne French, etc. on your pubic, perianal (around the anus) and axillar (arm pit) areas. Do the elbow test of the product before using it and follow instructions on the product package. On some skin types they give allergic reactions. Many use the products in those areas without any harmful effects. If you have a pre-existing skin condition please ask your doctor before using these products. In such cases a pair of scissors should help you trim your pubic hair atleast. If your partner is fond of rimming then your perianal hair will need to be removed. I had a brash college mate (straight) who used to ask a barber near our college and the barber would take him behind the curtains to trim/shave his pubic/axillar hair. No shame, just a financial transaction. And, yeah!,  no prejudice either :-) If you have a close friend who can do this for you then you are through. :p Waxing will hurt - BIG TIME!  It's called a Brazilian Wax. A macho friend of mine was reduced to tears as the waxing was being performed on him. Just looking at him whimpering on the bed put the fear of the Lord of Waxing in me. Another option is expensive laser hair removal. But, as far as I know, in India they don't do it on those areas in salons like Kaya, etc.Deep -- *From:* Kris Bass*To:* gaybom...@yahoogroups.com *Cc:* Gay Underscore*Sent:* Wednesday, 2 January 2013 12:07 PM *Subject:* g_b Re: [gb] Have you ever asked your barber?
