Should I shock my 60-year-old husband with a Brazilian?

Suzi Godson advices this woman to shave her pubes off and shock her husband.

Q. I want a Brazilian but my husband is opposed as he associates it with call girls.

I think it’s sexy even though I’m nearly 60.

Should I shock him?

A. Some might say that at 60 you are a little long in the tooth to be sporting a Brazilian, but when social constraints start compromising your personal taste in pubic grooming, it is time to take a deeper look at what’s happening.

Each to their own; free will and all that.

You can either sit around waiting for his approval or you can embrace your ambition and make a stand for your individuality.

So go on. Do it.

Shave your pubes off and shock your hubby.

Give him call-girl. Give him trouble.

Shake your naked booty, and why not set your Brazilian off with a pair of sparkly nipple tassels, while you are at it?

You are nearly 60 and you don’t need to apologise for your sexuality. If smooth does it for you, smooth does it for you. And damn the begrudgers.

Relationships are about give and take and it is important to take your partner’s views into consideration, but let’s keep this in perspective.

You are not suggesting getting a facelift and a set of pneumatic breasts.

You are not jeopardising your health, or his dignity. And 90% of the time you will be wearing pants anyway.

It’s ironic that we set so much store on sex and yet we pay so little attention to our genital appearance.

Pubic grooming looks good and feels great.

It is neat, hygienic and conducive to sex. And I suspect that your husband will appreciate all of this in the fullness of time.

On a practical note, make sure you tell your salon exactly what you want because waxers interpret Brazilians in different ways.

I suspect that you intend to have everything removed, but some women leave a strip (a runway) or a small patch of hair just above the vaginal area.

It’s a matter of personal taste, but the completely naked vaginal area can look rather shocking at first because the last time you will have seen yourself that way was probably 50 years ago.

The waxing process is completely unsexual but it has to be said there is something vaguely erotic about taking your pants off and allowing a stranger undivided access to your most intimate parts.

Be warned, though, Brazilian waxing is not for the faint of heart.

You will need to help by pulling the skin taut, and moving and holding the labia.

And you will probably have to go on all fours when your waxer does the area around your anus.

An experienced waxer will let you know what she is doing and she will work quickly and efficiently.

First of all she will trim your hair with scissors so that the wax can reach the follicles.

Then, using a wooden stick, she will spread warm wax over the area, a little bit at a time.

While the wax is hot and wet, she will lay cloth strips over it and, after it hardens, she will rip them away from the skin.

A traditional Brazilian goes from the labia right back to the anus and, if there are any stray hairs left, your waxer may use a pair of tweezers.

It will make your eyes water but the anticipation is often worse than the actual experience.

The first wax takes the longest — up to 45 minutes and, after that, it should take only 20 minutes or so.

You will need to get your Brazilian redone every four to six weeks because — and if your husband has a fit you might want to remind him of this — pubic hair does eventually grow back.
