Life IS an Experiment

Okay.  Those of you easily amused by my antics should find this one particularly delectable.

Two Introductory Points:

1) An advantage to not making much money is that I can't always finance my curiosity.  If I see an advertisement, for example, and wonder what it would be like to try it, I generally end up Not Buying It, on the grounds that I don't want to pay for something if I'm not certain I will like the results.

2) An interesting side-effect to the Gay Pride Parade is that you can catch a lot of free samples.  Granted, it's mostly condoms, lube, and campaign stickers, all of which I know how to use (even if I don't frequently have an opportunity to do so).  But occasionally, you'll score something that you've been curious about, but haven't tried (see #1 above).

Now you've got an idea of what has just happened.

I tried Nair for Men.  I've seen several ads for it lately, primarily in gay magazines.  But I should imagine most gay men who've wanted to have already been using the original Nair, despite the fact that it's implicitly for women.  Some gay men do wear short shorts, after all.  But back to me...

Oh my goodness.

Now, I didn't go for balding any part of my body.  But I did do some "man-scaping" with my chest and stomach hair.  I followed the directions to the letter.  Because that's just what I do.

Mercy.

I have never been so disgusted by my own hair before.  Wiping it off was pretty damn nasty, let me tell you.  I can't say as I'm particularly sold on the results, either.  It doesn't look too bad, provided that you don't get too close.  And since I don't typically go about in public without a shirt on, I'll probably be fine. 

I do suspect, however, that David will laugh at me next time we get together.
