Whether for bathing suit season or for super-sexiness, the Brazilian is an incredibly popular type of bikini wax in North as well as South America.
Comedienne Janeane Garofalo thinks that's messed up.
I love Janeane and from one perspective, she's totally right. It is indeed a problem if adult men find pre-pubescent vaginas attractive. But most people I know, including myself, are concerned about bathing suit season -- not about tricking our partners into thinking they're having sex with a minor.
Garofalo goes on to say that the popularity of the Brazilian is "... a national myth we've all gone along with for some reason." And she doesn't "... believe there are a lot of people that find that attractive."
I know one woman who does this year-round because she likes that it makes her feel "clean." I know some women who have tried it to see if it spices up their sex life, but more along the lines of surprising your man (or woman) with a dressed up area rather than providing them with an underage vag.
Like so many things women do to make themselves feel attractive, it's not about pleasing men -- it's about pleasing themselves.
Of course if men are requesting their ladies go naked for that purpose, that is sick and some serious reflection is in order.
Do you think Janeane Garofalo is right? Or should she leave our waxed vaginas alone?

haha.... love the picture.
Janeane is so right! Long live Janeane! (Really, one can be ready for bathing suit season without a full Brazilian!)
I never agree with Ms. Garafalo, but she's right this time.
lol i love Janeane
Why do so many of you have this ridiculous assumption that men like hairless pubes because they look pre pubescent 12 year olds?...The fact is, they are sexier because they look cleaner and the outline of the actual labia, clitoris, etc are very stimulating to most normal men. It is not about Lolita! Hairs sticking out of a bathing suit crotch are disgusting and slovenly!
While I find myself agreeing with Janeane on the Brazilian bikini wax phenonenom. I find it ironic that a woman in her mid 40's who dresses like a 19-year-old college sophomore, and who somehow still \thinks that getting tattoos is a sign of non-conformity and rebellion is able to criticize others for their conformity without displaying a whiff of self-awareness is interesting.
I hope this post makes sense, because I have been drinking for the past 2 hours.
Cheers!
p.s. Mike, I think you're probably a pedophile.
I'm really embarrassed for women who don't know the correct terms for female anatomy. You mean VULVA, not VAGINA. There is nothing to wax in a vagina.
Ashby, I have been on this crusade for a while. I hate that they teach their children that a woman's private parts consist of the vagina and nothing else. Yet they are the progressive ones, I am the ignorant one. Funny thing is, they won't admit it, but I think many of them simply find the word "vulva" too embarrassing to say in public. Then why is "vagina" OK? Beats me.
