Make Sure to Trim First

He tried to be funny, tried to breathe through it. But the situation would be uncomfortable no matter how one went about it. Butt waxing was a distinctive experience. And while everyone had their reasons for it, it didn’t make him feel any better. So obviously he overcompensated by trying to be “outgoing” and “funny”.

“I bet you’ve waxed a few Sasquatches round here, eh?

The young receptionist gave him a tight awkward smile. But like most men in unfamiliar situations, he didn’t know when to shut up.

“I bet after this, I won’t be able to sit for a week. Good thing I pee standing up.” If he could find the switch to turn his mouth off, he would.

“Don’t worry sir, the discomfort wears off quickly. Just fill out this form, and the esthetician will call you shortly.”

“Oh erm, yes okay, I’ll go sit over there”.

A few minutes later he heard someone call.

“Dave? You follow me to the back. Leave forms with Julie here.” He followed the petite woman in purple scrubs to a dim-lit room that smelled of lavender.

“First time, yes? Remove clothing of area you want waxed and lay here.”

He gulped and followed instructions.

He had never felt so exposed. Then he felt some hot sticky honey or something on his ass.

“I pull on three, yes? One, two,-“

“Ahhhhfghhhnhh!”

“Like Sasquatch. All done!”
