who will wax you has been doing Brazilians. Don’t settle for someone with less than a year’s experience.
     
    Many salons that do Brazilian waxes will also dress up your newly bare privates with a shimmering crystal tattoo. The tattoo is a stenciled design of small clear or colored crystals affixed with an adhesive that lasts for up to five days, though you can have designs applied that last only for the evening. These crystal tattoos are the same Swarovski crystal tattoo designs you might see on other body parts. Designs can be custom, or you can choose among the stencils available—popular designs include sunbursts, hearts, stars, and butterflies. Salons report than many women come in and get the tattoos for special occasions, such as weddings or anniversaries.
     

Razor Burn
     
    Nothing’s worse than making yourself lovely with a clean shave, and then having it ruined by razor burn. That uncomfortable, ugly red rash of bumps is troublesome, but it can be avoided to some extent by following the shaving suggestions presented earlier in this chapter. If you seek further help, beware of over-the-counter and prescription creams, because they contain cortisone. Cortisone will get rid of your razor burn, but using it more than twice a week causes thinning of the skin. Try these suggestions instead:
• Splash with cool water after shaving to close your pores.
• Wash shaved areas with goat milk soap. Goat milk soap restores the skin’s natural mantle and pH.
• Use calendula creams or ointments after shaving. Calendula works wonders on irritated skin.
• Use a natural aftershave from a health food store. Men use aftershaves for a reason!
• You can find products for razor burn and ingrown hairs in the men’s shaving section of your local drugstore. They work well, but use them sparingly, because the chemicals are harsh and may take a toll on the sensitive, thin skin of your genitals.
     
Working in a health food store, I’ve tried everything. What works for me is an old-fashioned lather brush, a fresh razor, and some aftershave.

     

Smell and Taste
     
It still tastes funny (like cocks don’t?), but I’ve learned to appreciate the funk.

 

I love how every woman smells different. I don’t want to sound like a sap, but I still get nostalgic sometimes thinking about how my different girl-friends smelled.

    A kiss—any kiss—is our first taste of each other. As you become close to your lover, nuzzling her face, running your lips over hers and kissing parts of her face, you get to savor the first flavors of her skin. By being near her, you can take a deep breath and relish the essence of her scent. The smell of your lover and the sweet taste of her lips can be unforgettable.
     
    The odors and tastes found between the thighs of all genders have had volumes of euphemisms written to commemorate, or denigrate, their uniqueness. People who enjoy performing oral sex on women wax poetic about the sensual taste and musky bouquet they relish, while others new to the game may be scared senseless about how things might smell. The vagaries of scent and taste depend on any number of factors, from where she is in her cycle to whether she’s eaten garlic linguine or takes multivitamins. If you’re wondering what’s in store for you when going face-to-face with her vulva, then you’re in for a little chemistry lesson.
     
    As Natalie Angier tells us in Woman: An Intimate Geography , on any given day, our skin’s pH hovers between 6.0 and 7.0, while the hearty vagina hovers between a piquant 3.8 and 4.5. While you won’t find vulvas on the menu at your local café, you can have some black coffee (pH 5), try a lick of lemon (pH 2), or have a glass of the closest thing going, wine, which has the same pH range as the vagina. And the friendly bacteria that protect the vagina from becoming the perfect hostess to germs are lactobacilli, the same bacteria found in yogurt. The lactic acid in vaginal secretions plays a big role
