Manscaping

From this perspective, manscaping with the motive for sexual appeal seems part of this ever-escalating effort of advanced capitalism to domesticate all dimensions of sexuality (and nature).

In addition to stacked-abs exercises, teeth whitening kits, and penile enhancement pharmaceuticals, manscaping is part of the ever-expanding list of tasks in the male body project.

I was also in charge of what I considered to be an important part of the dressing room etiquette: manscaping.

Manscaping is one grooming technique often sought out by the metrosexual, young, urban men with disposable incomes who care deeply about their appearances.

Still, there is a certain taboo around manscaping. For the purposes of this article, I have spoken to men who get everything waxed, and men – one man, I love this man – who says he shaves his armpits so he doesn’t have to buy deodorant as often.
