Anyone ever noticed the benefits of waxing?

It reminds me of something I once heard about having kids, and a concern that it would take away love from the couple in the family. The response was that it was like lighting another candle when you had two already lit... you just get more light.

Sniff - aw, that's beautiful.
Fiance and I have been talking about starting a family. We've been together 8 years so it's been a long time with just 2 of us and it's scary to think life would change so much, especially riding together - unless we get a trailer. It's great to hear reassuring things like this.

Anyway - shaving etc. BF did his legs last night for the first time since Christmas and boy, did those silky shins feel good.

Oh well, at least one of us in this relationship has lovely smooth legs.

I'm with you on this one. I cannot imagine someone ripping my pubic hair out every 2-4 weeks. OUCH!! Plus as far as experimentation goes, I've only gone the other way. No shaving anything for about 1 year. I found guys swarming around me like crazy. Including my now husband. Of course that was long long ago in my single days. Once I shaved my legs and pits, my husband then said - "yeah I like that". But he never asked me to do it.

Kids will alter your life in every way. Including ways you can't imagine. But that's OK if you are flexible and ready to dive in. It's just another part of life. Plus I do believe in the light another candle and get more light (more love) philosophy. My 2 girls add love to our house. They never subtract anything (except those few screaming/crying moments... .

Finally, I would think - although clearly others have experienced the opposite- that shaving or waxing would result in ingrown hairs and increased discomfort on the saddle. But not only is everyone different in opinion, I believe everyone is slightly different physically too. Response to pain, injury, healing time, etc. So what's good for one may be bad for another and there is probably no absolute anything.
