<![CDATA[To Strip Or Not To Strip?]]> I usually do not wax. Mostly because I'm cheap and lazy. The state of my pubes generally has nothing to do with whether or not I'm getting some: it's semi-seasonal but mostly whim-based. Like last week I looked down in the shower and I was like Jesus, my area looks like Burt Reynolds' chest! So i decided to get a wax, and my experience was a little unorthodox. My waxer blew on my crotch after she put down each new smear of wax. I imagine this was to make the wax cool more quickly, but it was still disconcerting. I didn't say anything because it's hard to be assertive when you're paying someone to rip off your pubes. Anyway! The best wax I had was at a super ritzy place where I got a free gift certificate and they had TVs on the ceiling. I watched The Wizard of Oz while an intimidatingly hot woman tore off my business. It was kinda like semi-Lynchian torture porn. But the point of all this TMI is that I'm wondering how many of you wax, and if so, how much do you take off?

A quick poll of the other Jezebels shows that most of us wax to some degree, whether it's just off the top and sides or we get it all off. One Jezzie goes "retrobush" in the winter, which is a term I'm going to have to fit into sentences all the time now.

After I got my most recent wax, I was all excited like I bought a new dress or something and I came home and ripped my pants off to show my dude. He was like, "Oh...neat," because he totally doesn't care either way. The one time I got a Brazilian he was all "You look like porn. In a bad way." Of all the dudes I've dated, only one ever commented on my hair situation, and that was to make a snide-ass comment about the hair on the backs of my thighs (which btw is so hard to reach). Do your significant others have a say in your pube maintenance? I feel like if they're getting what's underneath the pubes, they really don't have a vote about the upkeep, but maybe you can change my mind.

<![CDATA[If This Is Cosmo's Definition Of 'Naughty', Their Next Cover Had Better Promise 'Deranged Perverts']]> We've always thought of Cosmopolitan as our reliably-slutty older sister. Where else would you find tips like "if you need more lubrication before he enters, wet your guy's member with your saliva?" (p. 129! I know, right? Geniuses!) But when we saw this photo, billed on the cover as "The Naughtiest Photo We've Ever Run Of A Guy," we were a little... hey, come to think of it, Cosmo editors, is there a female version of "blue-balls"?

Thankfully, Cosmo only meant "naughtiest" in the "we are lying, why don't you try and sue us over it?" sense of the word. After the jump, a verrrryy steamy photo from the Cosmo vault.

It's Burt Reynolds, circa Cosmo's April 1972 issue. He's never really been our type either, but there's something kinda Regal Beagle-y you'd totally go home with after a few too many Alabama Slammers or whatever they drank on the Love Boat, plus he'd never notice if you hadn't shaved in a month and a half because you'd be so busy navigating his own fur.
