Is Getting a Brazilian Waxing a Sin?

One topic that was never covered in my education regarding right from wrong was whether getting a Brazilian wax was a sin.  After all, there you are, your bottom exposed to another person who smears hot wax on it, allows it to dry on some tape, and pulls it off suddenly! 

Ouch!  It hurts too much to be fun.  But this is the cost of wearing a bikini and not showing tell-tail hairs.   So, I got one.    

Shortly afterwards, I got religious fervor, and started going to church more regularly, even though my bottom was still bare.  (Hopefully, that is not sacreligious.)  Since it was a while since my last confession, I decided to do an in-church confession, seeig the priest in the confessional.

So I went:

"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.  It was a year since my last confession.  My sins are gossiping, cursing often, and oh yes, I got a Brazilian waxing."

A long masculine sigh . . . .

"I don't think that's a sin, my child.  The Church does not proscribe any form of floor wax, to my knowledge."

Sometimes it pays to get an old priest.

  1. Brazilian waxing is painful enough; it cannot be a sin! This is truly funny, however.

  2. But if you didn't at least trim down there, you would look funny unless you wore a Baptist bikini. Now doing that would be unquestionably sinful!

  3. Prithee, what's a Baptist bikini? It sounds awesome!

  4. I think that a Baptist bikini is like a granny bikini -- a 1960's era bikini with shorts as a bottom.
