The Man's Experience

The male Brazilian
I went to The Sweet Spot as a kind of a new adventure. I had no particular reason to do it, but I ran across this place somewhere on the web, thoroughly researched it, and decided to go for it.
I got a next day appointment (maybe because I could go any time).
OK. About the man thing: I agonized about what effect there would be from a woman working on my dangly bits and there were some effects. Apparently, this is just not an issue, one way or the other. So I was able to relax and enjoy, sort of. It is necessarily painful to some extent to have hair removed, so once that process started arousal was not longer an issue.
My experience with the pain was like this: Once the the sugar ball was rubbed into the hair and skin, Deanne had me take a big breath and then exhale sharply. As I was blowing out, she would quickly pull the sugar off of me. The first fraction of a second felt like someone tugging at my hair. This was quickly followed by a intense burning sensation, lasting maybe 5 - 10 seconds. After that subsided, there was a low level soreness that went away it a minute or two. The pain is intense and shocking, but it is very brief. Maybe that is good for developing mental discipline.
Before arriving I wondered how I would be treated. Would there be funny looks, or whispering, or would the other clients move across the waiting room? None of that happened. I was treated respectfully by both staff and other clients. My fears were unfounded.
I now know why women like a day at the hairdressers, or a massage or things like that. I was wonderful to be pampered by someone whose attention was entirely on me for a few minutes.
Pros: Friendly, competent service
Cons: A little pain.
