Personal Body Grooming

When I was in elementary school, I ran down the street to visit a girlfriend. Her mother opened the door dressed in her exercise gear. This was the age of the Jane Fonda Workout and doing aerobics videos at home was all the rage. I can only assume that the mother peeked through the peephole in her door and thought, “Oh, it is only Eryn-Faye” because I shudder to think that, given her state of dress, she would have opened it to just anyone. For even at my young age, my eyes were drawn to the bush which was popping out of both sides of her body-suit and I vividly remember thinking to myself, “Dear God, I will never let myself look like that!”
Being thoroughly scarred from that incident, I was always meticulous as a teenager to make sure that nothing escaped from my swimsuit when splashing around during the Texas summers. Bikini waxes or shavings were just a part of my regular grooming regime. However, I was well into my twenties before I realized that I could do more than just “edge the curb”, so to speak. People actually “mow the whole lawn”!
Here are some of the reasons why both men and women might want to look into more extensive body groming (FYI - men, we call this “man-scaping” for you):
- In today’s styles of skimpy bathing suits, shorts, workout clothes and even lingerie, clipping your pubic hair means that you don’t have to be worried about anything sticking out. (and reading about it on someone’s website 30 years later)
- If you are concerned about hygiene issues, the idea of less hair is most likely very appealing.
- Oral sex is so much more enjoyable when your lover is well groomed.
- Intercourse takes on a host of new sensations when there is little or nothing as a barrier in between.
- Less hair means more to see, and this can be very exciting. Provided that the lights are on, of course.
If you decide to take the plunge, you have several options, three of which are the most popular:
Trimming - typically using scissors or a trimmer (hair or beard), this is an option that you can try at home. If this is your first time with a trimmer, start with a longer blade and then shorten it to the desired length. While it does not remove the hair completely, it does shorten the length and tidy up the area.
Pro’s - once you invest in a good pair or scissors or a trimmer, the procedure is cheap, easy and quickly done at home.
Con’s - you will never experience the smooth feeling of a shave or wax, and you will most likely have to finish up the more delicate areas with a razor.
Shaving - this is an exceedingly easy option as everyone keeps a razor in the house. Usually more than one. When shaving the pubic region, it is essential to have a sharp razor (brand new is best) and a good shaving cream or gel. If this is the first time to do any sort of upkeep in the pubic region, then you will want to trim the area first so that your razor isn’t dull by the time you get to the sensitive areas. Go slowly, and try not to shave over the same area multiple times so that you can avoid irritation to the skin. (If you need a great shaving cream which helps cut down on the irritation, try out Unisex Soft & Silky)
Pro’s - cheap, easy and quick to do. The only expense is making sure that you change out your razors regularly to ensure that they remain sharp. You will have the soft, smooth feeling immediately after shaving.
Con’s - in the early stages of re-growth, the hair is stubbly which can be uncomfortable. However, once you get past this stage (usually in a day or two) this discomfort abates.
Waxing - the key to getting a good wax job is finding someone who really knows what they are doing. My personal opinion is that this is not the type of service that you want to get at your local esthetics school where all the novices are trying their new found skill sets on you for a cheaper price. But that’s just me. I believe that in the world of pubic waxing, you get what you pay for. If possible, get a referral from a friend who has had a good experience. If not, make sure that the salon is reputable, clean, and that your esthetician has experience giving pubic waxes.
Most salons will give women several options including Brazilian waxing (a full removal of hair) or French waxing (a “landing strip” of hair is left remaining). Likewise, men have the option of going totally bald or just waxing portions of their pelvic region.
Pro’s - Since the hair is removed at the hair follicle, it takes longer to grow back in and when it does, it does not have the stubble which accompanies shaving. Some people claim that if you continue to wax, over time the hair also comes in thinner and thinner. Immediately following waxing, the area is completely soft and smooth.
Con’s - It can be a somewhat painful experience, although an experienced esthetician will keep this to a minimum and move the procedure along quickly so that the discomfort does not last for long. Furthermore, the process can be expensive depending on where you live (smaller towns which have fewer salons tend to up their prices for this specialty service). However, as I mentioned above, this is not a service you want to scrimp on the price. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well.
At the end of the day, there are a lot of options out there so that you can keep your down below region well groomed. Which I am sure will make your lover very happy. (And you won’t freak out elementary school kids either. Bonus.)

Commitment 101
September 15, 2009 by Eryn-Faye Frans
Filed under Articles, Featured
So? How’s the communication going? You have to love a teacher that ENCOURAGES talking in class! We are breaking the school mold there aren’t we? Did you find out what your lover’s love language is? Did you already know? How about your own love language? Did you know what it was before you did the exercise?
Now that you know how to “talk” to each other in the way each of you hear “I Love You” best, have you been telling each other everyday? Feel free to share with us what you have been learning. Discussion is the best way for all of us to learn - especially when the topic was communication!!
Since last time I forced a “pop quiz” on you, this time I promise no testing. Today is more about class work. I hear you guys…”lecture, tests, class work - when do we have a time devoted to nothing but recess?” It will come. Have a little patience.
Today we are going to talk about one of the core pillars of a relationship - commitment. I know that for some people, “commitment” is like a really long 4-letter word. It evokes fear and loathing and possibly twitches and facial ticks. But it need not. Since we are all in (or preparing for) long-term relationships here, let me try and explain it from a different point of view.
Let’s go over to the play area in the classroom - over there where the building blocks are. See this block? Commitment is like this block. It is the foundational component required to build the level of trust necessary for a complete sex life. Ahhh…that got your attention didn’t it. See, the stronger the commitment (or foundation), the greater the trust can flourish. The greater the level of trust, the deeper the level of intimacy. When you have deep levels of trust and intimacy, sex becomes more creative and enacted with “reckless abandon” because there is no fear. This will allow you to build a sex life that will have you waking up each morning already looking forward to when you get to go to bed together again!
Now, to be fair, commitment does not always equal trust, but in a relationship, a lack of commitment is always indicative of a lack of trust. And generally speaking, a lack of trust will lead you to a sexless marriage/relationship faster than you can turn on the TV or say, “I have a headache”.
I see those hands raised all over the class. And I love that all the men are asking the same question. “how do I build that foundation?” Well, that is a two way street boys and girls. Commitment and trust go hand in hand. You cannot really build one without affecting the other.
You see, trust is the culmination of good communication and constant maintenance. Relationships are based upon trust and cannot exist without it. Taking the time to practice trust building is not only a good idea - it is absolutely necessary. The “constant maintenance” that I speak of is the day-to-day part of commitment. Keeping a commitment starts with making the decision to show up day after day after day. Taking it a level deeper is to say, I will not leave. To use the school analogy, it is to decide that you will not drop the class even if you fail a test or an exercise. It is to say, “I will stick with the material until I bring this up to an A.” Remember that when working towards a goal, you must focus on what you want to obtain and avoid the impulse to go back to what you know and to what is comfortable. Often times commitment is not comfortable, but true living is outside the proverbial comfort zone.
One of the greatest examples of commitment in history was the Spanish Conquistador Hernando Cortez. When he landed in Mexico, one of his first orders to his men was to burn the ships. Cortez was committed to his mission and did not want to allow himself or his men the option of going back to Spain. By removing this option to leave, Cortez and his men were forced to focus on how they could make the mission successful. That is the beauty of commitment, once you make a commitment you are forced to focus on how to make it successful. Cortez did not try to make the mission comfortable. They did not build huts, plug in an Xbox and simply exist there since they couldn’t go back. They looked for opportunities to make everything about the experience positive and worthwhile. They actively and daily sought success within the commitment of the mission.
It is no different in our lives; commitment is a series of conscious choices. A conscious choice to not attack or berate your lover when an argument starts (even if you didn’t start it). A conscious choice to put your lover’s needs above your own (even when your needs are just as important to you). A conscious choice to speak their love language each day. A conscious choice to not slide into a comfortable apathy of existence. These are the basic activities of commitment.
Trust, on the other hand, can be “practiced” in more tangible ways. Oh sure, keeping your word is a huge way to build trust. Doing what you say you will do, and not doing what you promised you wouldn’t do - these are trust-building activities. I am constantly telling my 5-year-old daughter that “promises matter” - and at that early age she knows better than to make one lightly. Because make no mistake, trust is built and earned. In fact, there is an old saying goes something like this: “Trust takes a long time to build up, but can be destroyed in an instant.” For each of you to trust the other, you are required to put yourself out on the line and the other is required to be there for you. Let me put it another way.
We learn to trust only by repeatedly taking personal risk and experiencing positive outcomes.
If you are not willing to take personal risk - you can never learn to trust. If your lover does not affect your outcome from that risk in a positive manner - you cannot learn to trust them.
Since we are over here in the activity center of the classroom, lets talk about some trust building exercises we can do! I am going to give you a few activities for you to do at home. Try them all out. Some you might like, some you might find uncomfortable and some you might flat out dislike. That’s okay. Do them anyways. They don’t take long and they really do help bring to the surface matters involving trust. When I talk with couples about trust, I usually ask them directly if they trust one another. Invariably I get “Yes” for an answer, even if it is hesitant. But if we dig a little deeper we often discover that this trust level is conditional. Yes, they trust one another to behavior generally within the bounds of acceptable social behavior. Yes, they trust each other to do the minimum accepted standards of relationship care. Yes, they trust each other to keep the expectations down. It reminds me of that line from the Gin Blossoms’ song, Hey Jealousy:
You can trust me not to drink, and not to sleep around…and if you don’t expect too much from me, you might not be let down.
I think we can, and should, be comfortable with expecting a little more than that from our lover.
First exercise: eye contact. Yep, it is as simple as that. Sit directly across from your lover (not too far apart) and look into each other’s eyes without looking away for 60 seconds. I know how easy this sounds. But the point is not to make each other laugh or giggle. The point is to honestly look into each other’s eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But so often we pass by those windows without ever really looking inside. Of course, we often pull the shades on those windows too because we would rather not let people see what’s in there. So for each of you, in quiet contemplation, look into the other’s eyes while opening up and letting them see in yours. Then discuss what you did. What did you think about the exercise? How did it make you feel about the other person? If you could let your lover see into your soul, would you be comfortable letting them?
Second exercise: same thing only different. This time sit directly across from your lover (not too far apart) and look into each other’s eyes without looking away for 60 seconds. BUT, this time, I want the two of you touching. Hold hands. Interlock fingers. Practice “interdigitation” as my husband likes to call it. Stroke the palms of each other’s hands (if you aren’t too ticklish). Make physical contact the entire time. And with the understanding you gained from the previous exercise, see if you can look deeper and see more of your lover this time. The discussion points are the same for you afterwards.
Third exercise: proximity alert. This time sit directly across from your lover (not too far apart) and look into each other’s eyes without looking away for 60 seconds. BUT during the exercise, keep moving closer to each other - slowly. Inch by inch (or millimeter by millimeter if you prefer metric) ever so slowly move closer and closer to one another. This will eventually put you in each other’s personal space. That is part of the exercise, don’t stop it from happening. If you touch noses, you moved too quickly. If you don’t get in each other’s personal space, you moved to slowly. Try again in these instances. (Or hold still touching noses if you can do it without laughing). Afterwards talk about how proximity to each other helped or hindered looking into each other’s eyes. Did you feel closer as you got closer? Did being that close with your eyes open make you uncomfortable? And why or why not?
Final exercise: together write a relationship commitment statement. This will allow you to verbalize exactly what your commitment is to the relationship and to each other. If it helps, think of it like a company’s mission statement. It should include: your purpose, goals, and commitments. What is the purpose of your relationship? What are your goals in your relationship? What are your commitments to each other in this relationship?
These are great conversations to have. Then put your answers into a formal relationship commitment statement. Put it on paper. Have it framed and hung on your bedroom wall. Turn the making of it into a work project for the two of you. Put as much effort into “making” it as you did talking it into existence.
And remember that to avoid turning around and abandoning your goals, you must make going forward more compelling then going back. So our next class will focus on some things that might help “compel you forward” in your relationship. Yes, guys…that means sex.
How does oral sex fit into your lovemaking routine?

Speaking of positions…

Viennese Oyster. The Amazon. The Hammock. The Screw. Reverse Spoon. Lap-dancing Cowgirl. The Snow Plow. The Butterfly Effect. The Rickshaw. The Happy Landing. Yin Yang. The Stick Shift. The Three O’clock Appointment. The Slinky. Rock a Thigh Baby. Deep Impact. The Splitter. The Lazy Dog. Standing Tall. Bend Over Backwards.
What do these terms all have in common? They are all sexual positions.
For centuries men and women have been trying all sorts of positions and giving them interesting names. (In fact the oldest sex manual in the world is the Chinese ‘Handbooks of Sex’ written 5,000 years ago by Emperor Huang-Ti, 2697-2598 B.C.) And yet, despite the wide variety of options that we have imagined, conceived and invented, couples still report their favourites to be:
- Man on top (aka: Missionary Position)
- Woman on top (aka: Cowgirl)
- Rear-entry position (aka: Doggie Style)
Now, there are obvious advantages to these positions. In the doggie style position, the man is able to view the woman from behind which can be very visually stimulating. Women enjoy this position because it allows for deep penetration and g-spot stimulation. In the Cowgirl position, the woman can often control the thrusting as well as receive adequate stimulation to the clitoris (for example, through manual or vibrator stimulation) so that she can have an orgasm. In this position, the man is able to see his partner’s body stretching out above him. And the missionary position is popular for its intimacy as the couple is face to face with a high degree of body contact. Although only about 12% of women report that they can orgasm through this position, they still rank it as a favourite.
And yet, studies show that when couples are trying to inject new life into their sexual intimacy, the first thing they do is try new positions. This experimenting in the bedroom wards off boredom, allows spouses to see each other in a different way (literally and figuratively) and gives them the opportunity to experience new pleasure.
Want to start slowly? How about spicing up your favourite position by adding:
- A mirror (or two) so that your visibility is increased
- Water (try the Cowgirl position in the bathtub, or Doggie style in the shower. NOTE: for water play I strongly recommend a silicon based lubricant - I recommned Slip’n Slide)
- New lighting (candle light, a softer bulb in the bedside table, all the overhead lights turned on)
- An edible lubricant (need some ideas? Check out these options)
When you are ready to move on to new positions, there are numerous books and websites devoted to enlightening people on different positions. Some of my favourites are:
- Dr. Sadie Alison’s Ride ‘Em Cowgirl. Dr. Alison gives detailed information written while maintaining a sense of humour so the reading never gets boring. This book gives a variety of positions including those which are good for the g-spot, pregnancy and those who are overweight.
- Cosmopolitan’s position of the day. This site gives great tips and suggestions and the diagrams detailing the positions are clean-cut. They also give every position a “Carnal Challenge” rating so you know how difficult it will be to try.
- Christian Nymphos. Designed for couples “of faith”, this website offers a weekly position recommendation. While the positions are not illustrated, they are explained quite well.
On a personal note, I found myself really struggling with what direction to take this article. I figured I would ask my husband for his thoughts and get his perspective, so I told him, “Honey, I am having a hard time coming up with an angle for this article on positions.”
There was the briefest look of shock across Eric’s face before he burst out laughing. Usually, we spend our time intentionally making double entendres (it’s part and parcel of the job), but this time, I was so focused on the task at hand that I completely missed it! The laugher was so infectious that it broke my writer’s block!
The Most Popular Man at a Nudist Colony
July 3, 2009 by Eryn-Faye Frans
Filed under Blog
Who is the most popular man at a nudist colony?
The man who can carry two cups of coffee and a dozen donuts.
Wow! Not only is that guy well endowed, but he has a pretty strong erection too! Oftentimes we talk about kegel exercises for women, but overlook the fact that men derive great benefit from doing these exercises as well. As men increase the strength of their PC muscles they will find that it:
- Helps with premature ejaculation
- Increases the intensity of their orgasms
- Increases the strength of their erections
- Helps increase over-all control in the pelvic region
- Increases their odds of having multiple orgasms
Advantages of Kegel exercises: These exercises do not take a lot of time out of your day, and they can be done without anyone noticing that you are doing them. Do them in your car on your commute to work, sitting at your desk at the office or while you are watching TV.
Finding the PC muscle: Go to the bathroom. As you begin to pee, stop the flow of urine. This muscle that you use to halt the urination is your pubococcygeus or PC muscle. (If you want to isolate this muscle to ensure that you are using the correct one, you can insert your finger in your anus. As you flex your PC muscle, the anus will tighten.)
Basic kegel: Once you have identified your PC muscle, you can begin doing kegel exercises. The goal is to squeeze your PC muscles as tight as possible and hold them for 10 seconds. However, when you are starting, hold them for as long as you can and work up to 10 seconds. After each kegel, rest for the same amount of time that you squeezed. For example, if you contracted your muscles for 5 seconds, then rest for 5 seconds. Work up to 10 reps, 3-4 times a day.
Advanced kegels:
- Squeeze and release rapidly for 10 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds. Do 3 sets. Work up to sets of 1 minute each.
- Squeeze and hold. Hold for 2 minutes. Do one set. Work up to 3 sets, resting in between each.
- Squeeze and release your muscles 50 times. Do one set.
You might want to note, however, that just like building your 6-pack takes time, so does building your PC muscles. Work on them daily and you will definitely see an improvement in the next couple months or so. You will reap all the benefits of a strong erection, but won’t have to clean up after sticky donuts!
Laughing About Lingerie
May 13, 2009 by Eryn-Faye Frans

This past weekend, our family attended a wedding of a dear friend. Since my husband was the master of ceremonies for the reception, we were invited to the all the festivities which lead up to the big event. During the rehearsal dinner at a local restaurant, several of us ended up in the bathroom to have a last minute discussion about sex. Two things might jump out at you about that last statement:
- public bathroom; and
- sex talk.
It just goes to show you that women will talk about sex anywhere! The environment was less than stellar, but I am always willing to work with what is available, and it was a follow-up to a more thorough discussion that the bride and I had had earlier in a much better setting.
As toilets were flushing in the stalls behind us, the bride mentioned the amazing lingerie shower that she had been thrown and all the new items that she was going to get to model for her new hubby. We all laughed that most men won’t even remember what you had on because it ends up in a pile on the floor so quickly! One lady mentioned that she wore an outfit three times before her husband recognized it as part of her wardrobe.
Over the years of marriage, however, we often stop trying so hard to look enticing for our husband. Maybe we gained a little weight and so now we feel self-conscious. Maybe we spend our money on clothes for our kids instead of ourselves. Maybe we are just so tired at the end of the day that we just want to crawl into our favourite sweat pants. Maybe we don’t feel like we deserve to get something that is so flimsy and worn for such a short period of time. Maybe we have just forgotten about how much fun it is to wear something sexy.
Here’s my question for all of you who have been married for a while: When was the last time you donned something special for your spouse? If it has been a while, then what is stopping you? How can you overcome that obstacle?
Need some great ideas?
- Get a lacy bra with matching panties – this is a somewhat practical suggestion as you can wear them all day but still look hot for hubby later!
- Purchase a teddy – if you don’t like the way your stomach looks, this is a very sexy way to cover it up!
- Try some silk or satin – they feel great against your skin!
- Check out this great blog post on crotchless panties
Now, in the words of that great American poet Justin Timberlake, go bring sexy back!!

Four Kisses a Day - thoughts
May 6, 2009 by Eryn-Faye Frans
Filed under Blog
Last week, I had the privilege of being my daughter’s guest at her school’s annual Spring Tea. In her class, there is a mix of 3, 4 and 5 year-olds and they had all been busy for weeks making the preparations to serve their parents at this special event. As the parents waited in the hall outside the classroom, the children came out one at a time to speak to their parent and say, “Welcome to our Spring Tea. Won’t you come in?” The little girls finished their request with a curtsy and the boys bowed. We were then escorted to our assigned tables, complete with place cards. The theme of the tea was Mexico, so once everyone was seated, the children served us lemonade, chips and hot sauce, and quesadillas. It was incredibly sweet to see them so very excited, and yet behaving like proper little hosts and hostesses as they fulfilled all their duties.
After we had our goodies served to us, the children when to the front of the classroom and sang to us (mostly in Spanish) for about 10 minutes. Cameras flashed and video recorders whirled as all the parents attempted to capture this performance for posterity. My favourite song was called “Four Hugs a Day”. They introduced it in Spanish, but not speaking the language myself, I didn’t have a clue what it was. I was fortunate because after the first verse in Spanish, they sang it in English. And here is how it goes:
“Four hugs a day, that’s the minimum.
Four hugs a day, NOT the maximum.
Step One: Look them right in the eye
Step Two: Face to face
Step Three: Reach out your arms
Step Four: You can’t do any harm with
Four hugs a day, that’s the minimum.
Four hugs a day, NOT the maximum.”
Needless to say, all the parents beamed with pride. How can you NOT hug your kid after a performance like that??!!
But evidently, the theme of Four a Day doesn’t seem limited to school Spring Teas!
If you follow me on Twitter, then you might have seen me retweet some things from @hismilkmaid (her Twitter name). One of her posts was on a study out of England that I thought was really interesting. Recently the UK newspaper, The Telegraph, reported that a new study has come out which says that couples who kiss four times a day are more likely to stay married. (if you want to read the article you can, here.) In fact, if you want the whole prescription for success according to the study, it’s:
- kissing 4 times a day
- having sex 2-3 times a week
- staying in touch during the day (by phone, email, text, etc.)
- enjoying two romantic meals out each month
- spending three nights of the week cuddling on the sofa together and
- getting away for a couple of romantic weekends each year
- one annual foreign holiday
These activities shore up the foundation of your relationship and helps ward off divorce. I made special note of the “annual foreign holiday” to my husband, who smiled and said, “I guess we’ll have to take our chances” and winked. Oh well, even if I don’t get a yearly trip to someplace exotic the rest of these really are great ideas for couples.
So in light of this study, here are my coaching tips for the day:
- Kiss on your wife or husband today (yes, four times!). Try a couple warm kisses and a couple deep kisses (remember what those are??). Why not throw in a couple of extra little kisses on the top of their head as you walk by them.
- Send an email or text (their preferred method) telling them how much they mean to you.
- Be intentionally intimate with your lover – have sex tonight!
- Plan a romantic dinner with your lover. Go out to a nice restaurant or stay home and make a romantic dinner right there in your own home – you could picnic on your bed for instance.
And for those wanting more than something that can be done today:
- Start saving for and booking a getaway night or weekend for the two of you. Send the kids to relatives, do a kid-swap with friends (they take your kids one weekend and you take theirs another weekend), hire a young married couple to come for the weekend to babysit. Get creative and get it done!
And lastly, with apologies to my daughter’s pre-school class, and sing with me…
“Four kisses a day, that’s the minimum.
Four kisses a day, NOT the maximum.
Step One: Look them right in the eye
Step Two: Face to face
Step Three: Pucker up your lips
Step Four: You can’t do any harm with
Four kisses a day, that’s the minimum.
Four kisses a day, NOT the maximum.”
