'50 Shades of Grey' Hottie Christian Likes a Full Bikini Wax -- Would You Dare?

by Mary Fischer on June 19, 2012 at 9:39 AM

bikiniIf reading Fifty Shades of Grey has breathed new life into your bedroom habits, then I'm sure you've at least thought about whether or not you should make a trip to the spa for a full bikini wax & go totally bare "down there." If Christian Grey prefers his ladies smooth and hair-free, then the idea of a waxed bikini area providing a more intense sexual experience has to have some truth to it, right?

Of course, the idea of having hot wax spread on the delicate skin in that area and having your hair ripped out at the roots is a little bit cringe-worthy, to say the least. Considering how bad eyebrow waxes sting, I'm guessing bikini waxes are a hell of a lot worse.

More from The Stir: The Worst Celebrity Beauty FAILS!

And that's why I've always been petrified to break down and book an appointment -- because I'm a big baby about the whole thing. But that doesn't mean I let things grow wild in my nether regions either. I hate body hair. I really, really hate it -- which is why I've had a very friendly relationship with my razor for years now.

And while the razor doesn't get things as perfectly smooth as a bikini wax, it definitely does a decent job -- and keeps things almost completely bare. And the best part is, it doesn't hurt a bit. (As long as you're super careful.)

But something tells me Christian Grey would be pretty appalled about my using a disposable razor instead of getting a wax -- and he probably wouldn't find shaving very sexy. (Guess it's a good thing I'm not married to him.)

Do you get regular bikini waxes -- and do you go for full or partial hair removal?

    Shaving leaves your downstairs looking like a rotten piece of poultry. And honestly,Brazilian waxing isn't horrible after the first one (which is hell!) . . . you get used to it and it's sooooooooo worth the "pain".

    It's not that bad. Really. The first one is the worst and it gets progressively better from there. Pop some Tylenol before you go if you're really worried. I shaved for years and now I've been waxing for about a year and thinking about it and dealing with it only once a month is so much more convenient.

    I trim. It's bad enough I have to deal with underarm and leg hair removal. I just can't be bothered.

    Sorry. Don't want to look like my daughters. And what is it with The Stir and "50 Shades." Do you have a cut of the profits? The way you gush about it, multiple times daily, makes me recall when Judy Blume's "Forever" was passed around my 6th grade class. Giggle giggle titter giggle blush. Grow up.

    " If Christian Grey prefers his ladies smooth and hair-free, then the idea of a waxed bikini area providing a more intense sexual experience has to have some truth to it, right?"

    Oh, well, if the abusive male lead in a poorly written pornographic novel says so, it MUST be true!! I'm running out and doing it RIGHT NOW, even though my guy loves me the way I am!!!

    Honestly. Have all of you writers regressed back to 6th grade? Gigimama is right. Grow the heck up and get over this pathetic book already!!

    PonyChaser-I just want to give you a hug for that comment. I am so sick of hearing about this book to the point I don't want to read it. I got a brazillian once and while it didn't hurt (the lady that waxed me was quick and chatty so I didn't have a chance to think about the pain) my husband (bf at the time) didn't even notice, let alone care. Now that I have two young daughters I think both of us would be weirded out about me having one again. Back to the book though. I hate it! If I want to watch something about S&M and relationships I'll rent Secretary with James Spader and Maggie Gylenhall.
