I’m a hairy person. Very hairy. It’s probably punishment for walking under 3 too many ladders in middle school. Hair in my fridge and on my floor. Cursed for eternity. No escape from Beezelbub’s hairy grasp. Sometimes I wish someone would just dip me in a vat of hot wax and peel me like a banana.

Grooming is hard enough, but grooming down there… is… why not just scrap it all and forego the shower gymnastics? Picture this: smooth sexy times devoid of any stray pubes. Razorburn will be a cruel joke from your past. Living the dream once and for all. To think someone one day was like “Gertrude, do you know what I fancy to do on this fine Saturday morn? Rip out every hair follicle around my bum and cooch. Yes that’s exactly right, today I want to become a dolphin.”
