Thanks for the replies people. I can't imagine what I'd do if leg waxing became a fad with guys it must be painfull for you ladies.
Oh boy!! Believe me its painful. I have never actually done it but I know a bloke who has.
A couple of years back a mate at our rugby club (Shaun) talked five of us in joining him in a charity cycle ride. 2 hours, circular course, as many laps as you could do in the time, additional cash prize for the team who did most laps and the occasional 'bonus sprints' to boost your charity's cash on certain laps.
Anyway Shaun who talked us into it was a keen cyclist and we all went training for a few weeks prior to the event and everything was going well, then he said that we could gain extra seconds a lap by waxing our legs and arms like his, something to do with 'wind resistance'.
Being big macho blokes we knew we'd come in for some stick back at the club but it was for charity so we said 'yeh ok' and anyway we thought it would be a laugh.
So the day before the ride we got all the kit, a crate of beers and met up round at Shauns' place.
My mate Adey went first, the wax was heated, we helped Shaun spread it on with some spatula looking things, put on the paper thingies and waited afew seconds.
Shaun told us before hand that it was going to hurt but, as i said before, being big macho rugby blokes used to knocks, bangs and injuries we odopted the old 'Huh ! we laugh at pain' line. Little did we know just how painful it was gonna be.
Adey had hairy legs but, as he's blond, some of us were much hairier, and when Shaun started ripping the strips off, it was so bad we had to jump on Adey to hold him down to stop him doing a runner (or killing Shaun!! lol). Now he's 6ft 4, and a good 18st, so it took most of us to do it. As you can imagine the language was blue. After the third strip he begged us to stop but of course once its on...its gotta come off again hasn't it ladies. So we gave Adey about four beers, all piled on, he gritted his teeth, swore to rip shaun's heart out though his nose and went for it.

Man, it was like we were torturing him...
OK girls, I admit after Adeys experience the rest of us bottled it completely, and after a few more beers we decided we'd rather make up the time we'd loose for 'not being wind resistant' by
just peddling harder each lap.
Still you'll be pleased to know at least we raised nearly £800 between us. Shaun still has smooth legs and Adey's now known as 'Paddy'...after Paddington 'Bare' get it??
