Men's Brazilians or Manzilians as they're increasingly known, are the poster child for men's waxing.
The story goes that a Manzilian will lead to sex, or improve sex, or increase your chance of fellatio etc, and that's demonstrably true.
After all, if given the choice of smelly and rough versus slick and divine, any lover not possessed of crazy eyes, will choose the smooth to adore.

A quest for sexual confidence
Also true, is that something triggered inside you to make you ponder waxing your pubes. Maybe it was big or maybe it was small. Maybe you're not even aware it happened.
It began when you first Googled the topic. And perhaps you then had second thoughts. And then maybe the next day or months or even years later, you plucked up the courage to finally get it done.
That was your limbic system taking control.
For whatever reason, your limbic system - that ancient mammalian part of your brain which induces such wonderful emotions as lust, anxiety, fear, and arousal - began challenging its master, i.e. your dull and stodgy cerebral cortex, which tries its best to keep you roped to the herd.
Put simply, you felt sexually or romantically disconnected. You realised, at least subliminally, that whatever masculine behaviours you've relied upon in the past, no longer fulfil you.
Resisting peer pressure
You need change. You need to feel more sexy and confident. So now it's crunch time.
Do you get waxed or not? And with that question voiced, this is where things - and you - get interesting. Or not.
We're pack animals by nature. That's how society keeps us contained, and that's fine. Most people like boxes.
Sure, conformity might not grant much freedom but it does provide a sense of community, of knowing your place in the world.
Thus, it's not so much a fear of pain that makes men second-guess waxing their junk, but a fear of being teased or ridiculed by their peers, a.k.a. the other sexually insecure alpha males in the herd.
For these men, compliance is vital. They have a boss to impress, kids to feed, a mortgage to pay, and a wife to obey, often all intertwined.
So they back off, suppressing their desire for more frequent and happy sex, and more rounded mental health, in favour of becoming old and fat and "happy".
The reality is, that only 5% of men actually make it to the point of receiving a Manzilian Wax, and that fact makes it easy for you to stand out in the herd.
Be warned though, it's addictive. Soon you'll be trying to get in shape too, losing that gut, and putting some muscle on your bones.
The pursuit of sex and confidence is a dynamite combination. It's the number one reason why men get waxed, and the simplest first step you can take to reinventing your otherwise bland life.
Choosing a Manzilian wax studio
Popular and experienced male waxing therapists understand all the above. They know you're here to try something new, and to improve your sense of happiness and self-worth.
They (should) also know that every man is different and they have no reason or right to judge you.
Armed with this forewarning, if you walk into a Manzilian Waxing studio and are greeted with crazy eyes, judgement, or attitude, turn on your heel and run. Get out now.
Equally though, you're expected to behave with courtesy. You're going to someone's place of work to receive an intimate treatment.
Don't go there acting like a tryhard dick. They'll have rules of etiquette for Manzilian Waxing that you'll be expected to obey.
Do you want extras with that?
So, with all of that in mind, and before you book in for your first Manzilian, let me clear up one major misconception from the outset. That is, your waxing therapist is not feeling the same rush of emotions or adrenaline as you.
Chances are, your dick is not the first one they've seen today, nor the biggest, smallest, prettiest, or ugliest. Once you've left and paid, they will even forget what it looked like.
To elaborate further, they won't fall in love with you, or be so impressed by your penis that they'll jump your bones.
They're handling your junk because you've paid them to do so. The most you can hope for, if it's something they provide, are intimate extras.
Again you will pay for the service, and again, they don't love you. They are simply doing their job.
If indeed you are hoping for intimate extras with your Manzilian, and assuming they provide said services, here's one more piece of advice:
Find a waxing therapist who gives hand jobs, not a sex worker who waxes. If you want a good result and genuine experience, waxing should be their main income stream.
From one waxing therapist to another
When it comes to men's waxing, I enjoy a devoted clientele 25 years in the making. Quality, respect, and a unique point of difference are all important reasons for my success and longevity in the trade.
But one other factor that is often overlooked by noobies entering the game, is sexual confidence. Every cult-level therapist projects that.
The sexuality of a client doesn't matter. He wants to know, and to be constantly assured, that you, the therapist to whom he's entrusting his nuts, is confident in your craft.
He expects you to be positively charged and kinetic, and hopes - perhaps not consciously - that your sexual energy will rub off. He wants to leave feeling empowered, and when he faces the outside world, to act as confidently as you.
If you can't be that for him, you won't make it.
The challenge for Manzilian therapists is to live up to client expectations. You can't hope to make guys feel at ease with their bodies if you're not comfortable with your own.
