I believe that people who insist one should get a bikini shave before wearing a bikini are ignorant. People are subscribing to the popular look of today -- hairless -- and applying it as the end-all, be-all of swimwear. Certainly trends come and go, but what stays is a want for more trends. Twenty years from now there will appear a new swimwear trend for men, and the push for hairless men will seem silly. Now, I would like to remind everyone of the swimwear trends of the 70's: naturally hairy men in bikinis. Back then, people would look at you funny if you even wanted to get a bikini wax. Why, does one ask? Is it because waxing was emasculating? No, the answer is because waxing was un-trendy. Today, we seem to have the opposite trend going on, at least in Britain and the U.S. What is the best answer? I think no trend is more "right" or "be-all, end-all" than another, so we may pick and choose what trends to follow from not only the present, but the past. The only wrong way to wear a speedo would be to have hair out of the ignorance of not knowing that one may wax it.
Here is why I have to laugh at the self-righteous speedo "experts" who think the bikini-wax is necessary.
