I understand that BJs are more likely to be given to those with neat manscapes. For this reason, and general aesthetic preference, I’ve been tending to my brambles for some time with varying methods and likewise varying degrees of success.

My best success came from electric clippers to get the rough out of the way and Nair to clean up the remainder. I’ve met with limited success on my scrotum as, being a wrinkly terrain, the electric clippers like to nab bits of my flesh. Nair seems to have trouble with untrimmed hairs though so my solutions so far leave by scrote and bunghole with some lingering strays.

Recently, I decided to just smother the whole everywhere with a thick spread of Nair, after removing the easy bits with electric clippers, and leaving the Nair on for its maximum recommended duration.

This did not work. Aside from the hair that still clings to all my nooks and crannies, I now have a yeast infection…

What is a body to do? Permanent laser treatment runs upward of three thousand dollars, I’m thinking there must be a halfway solution around here somewhere though.

Does the community have any solutions to recommend?

      O.o Do you want research papers and essays? I’m tangentially aware of the skin microbiome (yay, how everything in microbiology is supposed to be related so we all are expected to know what the weird fucking colleagues are doing in those nasty skin crevices instead of clean[ish] brackish water systems that are where the real science happens) and the amount of information on the workings of all the little microbes on your beautiful holobiont is astonishing. Like, the difference between what people think they know about our mutualistic relationships with our symbionts and what is really known is massive. Imagine the difference between the grade school kid who knows we eat food for energy, and the undergrad learning about the Kreb cycle. It’s bigger than that! It’s more like the difference between the neonate on the breast and the senior undergrad studying the enzymes that facilitate the rearrangements of molecules in the Kreb cycle. The sheer amount of control that microbes in your gut and on your skin (and other places too) have on your body boggles the mind. Did you know the microbes in your gut can control your mind?

      If you want some fun, do a quick search on your favorite database for the terms “allergen,” “cockroach,” and “dog.” Then go for “SCFA,” “immune system,” and “Firmicutes.” You can also use “Bacillota” instead of Firmicutes, because people want to be trendy. Go for a deep dive with “breast,” “microbiome,” “milk,” “gut,” and “bottle.”
