The rite of passage for the males of our generation — the generation of the metrosexual and hairless pornstar — is getting waxed. As an act of true love for Sheila in enduring the pain, John asked me if I would clean up the hair on his back and arms. I agreed, as long as I could film it.
Waxing John from Jeff Ngan on Vimeo.
I suppose that near the end of the video my sadistic side comes out when I start to laugh, or dare I say, enjoy hearing him scream.
“This is like true friendship”, he says, “Waxing your best friends back when you’ve got a Y-chromosome”.
Oh, Jeff, this is hilarious! I almost choked on my tea when I started watching…
You are a sadistic man, aren’t you? Oh my god, hearing your laugh hiss a bit, it was awesome. At the end, when he says, “This is like true friendship…” it looks like you’re waxing his buttcrack.
Oh this is good times. Why didn’t he wax his chest? It looked like some sort of phoenix trying to rise from a humongous pile of ashes…a pattern of that… but on a sweater. :P
You are really cute.
Hahahahhhaha…a phoenix on his chest…I have to tell him that. It’s like he’s some kind of average joe superhero.
Your aunt finds the sight unbearable. Me, I laughed until my stomach ached. I wonder what your neighbour thought about John’s screams.
Predictably, but still infectiously, funny — and funnier still when forced to NOT laugh with serious work colleagues about. Thanks, I really did need this today, I did.
Does she like the fur on the front?. “??. “
Pays to be Asian now, doesn’t it Jeff? Too few white women have yet to realize the advantages.…
But we girls have to tell John the sad truth: Sorry honey, it comes back.
@Uncle Joe — That’s interesting, because you would think that women would be more accustomed to the pain. Or perhaps they know exactly how much it hurts. I’ve watched this video dozens of times, and I still laugh until my sides hurt.
My neighbours probably thought I was torturing him in some way. Well, I was, in a way.
@Xibee — I don’t think there’s any way a waxing video can not be funny. As far as I know, most women like a little bit of chest hair. It’s the “wings” they can do without. I think John’s due for another wax by now.
And yes, even though I can’t grow a beard, it’s good to be Asian.
Sorry to be a multiple commenter, I’m actually using John’s act of love as an example for my Socio Linguistics-Cross-Cultural Communication class of Solidarity vs. Power.
N, my life partner, asked me, upon hearing my raucous laughter (after watching it a third time this week), “Do you want me to wax my back, MK?”
To which I thanked the powers that be that his Asian half is much stronger than the British half. Eeek! Thanks for the laughs, and for the help with my assignment.
PS. I am not posting your video anywhere, nor will I use real names.
That’s awesome, I’ll be sure to let John know that he’s part of a social study of some sort. Maybe this will be enough to convince him to wax other parts of his body (and let me film it).
