A Brazilian wax is a procedure in which a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician uses warm wax to remove most or all of the hair in the genital area. Unlike a regular bikini wax, a Brazilian wax includes the removal of hair in sensitive areas, although sometimes a tidy landing strip or triangle is left in the front. Although this practice is mainly caters to women, men undergo these treatments as well.
While some people view Brazilian waxing as an excruciatingly painful procedure, others insist that the result - a completely hairless genital area - makes sex more pleasurable.
