Gancing=straight men dancing together

Ok..I'm done! The moment I saw this I knew it was over.
Metrosexuality has gone beyond it's limit and now it's just trying too hard. You know if you are one?

If you come here...you know what Metro's are...narcissistic mirror-gazers. If you don't check this out. Some of these guys even wax. Not that wax...this wax.

And, yes - this is for real:

Brazilian Nuts The Brazilian Wax treatment was introduced to North America in the late 1980s by J. Sisters International, a Manhattan salon that is owned and operated by seven clearly insane sisters from Brazil. The Brazilian is an all-over body hair removal treatment that chiefly involves the buttocks, pubic area, and dark crevasses in a ritual of pain so spectacular there are few words to describe it.

Most charitable estheticians will provide a tongue depressor to sink your teeth into during treatment. Some will turn up the salon's sound system so you can scream 'til you burst a blood vessel.

Regardless, all that remains after a successful waxing is smooth, bump-free skin and a three-finger-wide strip above your frank and beans — perfect for men's thong back, Brazil back, and dental floss G-string bikinis.

A few words of advice before you proceed:

1.This isn't a treatment you can perform at home, on yourself. I'll say it again: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Always seek the services of a licensed esthetician who is trained in the Brazilian technique. Ask to see his or her credentials. If the esthetician you speak to seems uncertain about the Brazilian, or can't supply documented proof that he or she has received the appropriate schooling — run! Run far away and never return.

2. You'll receive your Brazilian in a separate treatment room or behind a privacy screen. But get ready to swallow your pride. This service involves a certain amount of nudity (on your part, wise guy) and some very embarrassing positions (think ankles behind the ears, and you're almost there).

3.It's not easy to find a Brazilian specialist who's comfortable with men, so call ahead. You can't just walk in off the street and ask a room full of women to wax your tackle. (Well, you could. But you better be damned certain you're standing in a salon, before you open your mouth.)

4.If you want anyone to work professionally in such close quarters, show some respect. Shower immediately before treatment, don't hit on your esthetician, and lay off the bean burritos for a few days.

A well-executed Brazilian will leave you with a sleek physique for about two months. Treatment costs anywhere from $20 to $75 dollars or more. If you plan to cheap out, think again. Price is usually determined by the esthetician's level of experience.

So - waxing your junk and dancing with dudes is now in? Stop the run on this crazy train, seal it, stomp it flat...metrosexuality is dead. I mean even my grandma knows what a metro is, so you know it has flatlined! And when things have progressed to a point where media outlets are referring to men dancing together as NOT GAY - then clearly I have to speak up and say...if you wax your balls and dance with other men in anything other and the Electric Slide - you are a homosexual. No reason to freak out here, you knew it was true - I just confirmed it.

Dude, this process seems scary and painful. Anyone new at it? My salonist says she does em outta her house and is well trained--she even trained the local professionals. Anyway, she mentioned that after the 3rd B Wax, you're used to it and won't grow back as much.

Any comments?

OKKkkkkkkk....so now its (not) gay to dance with other men???? When did this happen. Last time i checked, thats what made us, gay. I mean of course it depends on just how your dancing and where i guess. But, if your having great time grinding with other dudes all the time, maybe you should consider your self a butt-bandit like the rest of us. Food for thought.

As a gay man, I am flabbergasted by stories like these. Seems like there's this misconception that the gay aesthetic is somehow better than the non-gay aesthetic - and that straight fellas need to be "more gay" - coz that's, somehow, better.

Not all gay boys are fashionable trend setters - and good grief, why should straight guys feel the need to comply with some artificial, stereotypical and annoying gay stereotype, when a lot of us gay boys think that notion of male identity is narcissistic and annoying?

There's something kinda nice about straight boys (well at least the way they used to be.) As long as they're not trying to kill me, they can keep doing that straight thing they do so well. After all, I had a straight dad -- and he taught me how to change a tire on my car, not how to shape my eyebrows.

C'mon, folks.....leave the straight fellas alone and give 'em a break.
