MsG: Whenever I do the slightest bit of physical activity, I get all manner of sweaty in the dangly bits. Since I don't like having a smelly crotch, I knock back the hair. Not shaved, but clipped. As for preference, I can't really say, since I've not had a variety to choose from yet.
The First Time: Still counting, it seems. If anything.... and I do mean any-damn-thing.... I'll let y'all know.
Oh, and I had a rather interesting day at work. My co-worker got called to a major accident not a while away, thinking that her brother had been killed. It turned out that the dead one was in fact the husband of a woman who also worked in the same place I did. It fell to my other co-worker to deliver the highly unpleasant news. Not a happy day.

CK, I just point out the obvious! 
No need to feel shy about posting here...we're all just folk, and it's nice to be able to talk about things like this with like-minded people. No one is going to think any differently about you...well, except maybe in a good way. All manner of things will be well!

Embarassing moment... During a rehersal, I was killed and thrown to the front of the stage and lay there motionless like any good dead person should. However I had been thrown so far forward that my head was partially hanging over into empty space and ended up being supported by my jaw. Then the curtain closes... over me, so my head and upper body is sticking out in full view and, this being the last scene, means that I can't run up to get in place for curtain call. So, as I lay there thinking what I'm going to do about this situation, I feel someone grab my ankles and drag me, under the curtain and in period Victorian costume, back behind the curtain, while everyone is laughing their heads off. And dust was all over the front of my costume, silk vest and white french cuffed shirt, when it opens again. Think like Kaylee, except substitute dust for engine grease.
First time: nope, not yet, never even kissed a girl: sad, but true
Underwear: Briefs, although commando can be very comfortable in one's own home

Bah, Seryn I appreciate your disgression, I went n read, naughty me, and maybe you didnt realize, most of what you put in spoilers was not anything dirty, just an ethics question on the role of female-oriented fashion in a post-feminist society. Frankly, I agree with you.
You folks may remember, two or three threads ago when we had this debate on feminism, I essentially acquiesced on the subject, given that the posters were happy with the issues (i believe it was dating among others), so why argue. But now...
Can't say I disagree. I've never understood this idea of waxing any part of the body, though i've been known to shave n stuff, I just dont understand the finer reasons behind hair removal. And it seems to be mostly a female trouble, which, while biologically sensible, still aint fair, so there we go into feminism again.
But damnit, this debate is an endless circle, one I'm not sure I want to get into with you fine folks. Ultimately, it aint my right to impose my thoughts on the matter, so feminism, like religion, you just need to go your seperate ways with it.
Ok, that was long and stuff.
As to the new topic of theater mishapps.... I must have had a few, but damnit I don't remember them. Eh, here's a tale for your enjoyment: I helped a friend of mine quickchange in the run of a show, and now she'll occassionally make jokes about how I can say I've had a woman strip in front of me. Argh, she teases me, what can I say.

Theater mishaps. Yikes.
No actual 'mishaps,' although one time I improv-ed for the entire first act. Sooo much funny, but sooo much pain.

I see how it goes, I leave and then people start talking theater! Well, too bad, I'm adding my two-cents now:
I once did a two-man show. That was by far the craziest and most hectic thing I ever done. We each had to play 3 characters (male and female) and had split-second costume changes. All the improv classes I had couldn't compare to doing that show.
One time, Act I was completely remixed. I mean, we were all over the script, but we somehow brought it together. That wasn't nearly as bad as the one night this cage door trapping me in was completely open, and I was standing there free as a bird, but had a few pages of dialog as to why I am trapped. Talk about thinking fast. I also murdered my stage manager.
Ok, I'm done sharing, what's the current question?

Damn! I missed everything and a half!
Mal4Prez, I get what you're saying. I've said before that I don't want a relationship with a "dominant partner". I want to get my way sometimes, compromise at others, have some decisions made that I don't have to worry about. It's a rare find; seems like the majority of people, no matter their gender, are either or. That kind of bugs me, but I get it. I also get the not wanting to piss a lady off thing. This is one of the many reasons I decided to just write an instruction manual for myself; if someone wonders if something will piss me off, they can just refer to it. It's a work in progress.
Ms G, how is that racy? We've talked about body hair before.
Ex of Doom liked me shaved or close. Not a fan of hair down there. Especially when it came to certain activities; hair got in the way. I kept it trimmed anyway, but he wanted me to try shaving it and I did. It felt strange at first, but I liked it for several reasons. It helped with hygiene and scent along with *cough* other areas. He kept trimmed; basically a buzz cut down there. I liked that. Nice and fuzzy. He used his electric razor (not a fan of razor blades)
I only bother to really maintain it when someone else is going to see it, though. I should anyway for hygiene, but I don't care enough. I think maybe that "slutty" conotation comes when you do it all the time, just in case. Maybe I'm wrong. Suposedly slutty girls leave hickies, too, and I leave some pretty bad ones.
Gorrammit, enjoying yourself does not equal slutty! Sorry, that kind of attitude really bothers me.
Copilot, I wish I could drop weight like that! I gained at least ten pounds after my breakup, but now that I've gotten over the "cry and eat ice cream every day" stage it's started to slowly come off again. Slowly. I'm trying to eat more veggies and stuff, seems to be doing me some good. I tend to eat too much when I'm depressed, and certain foods (sugar) just make me gain weight quite fast. But I still look fine, and am hoping to look a little better. I need to start going after that heavy bag again! It's the only kind of excercise I enjoy even a little. I doubt I look happy while doing it; probably more focused or even angry, but I do enjoy it.
Waxing other areas? No no! Bad! I use a shaver, very carfully. It.... I.... Ok... Um, kiddies cover your eyes. I'll put this in spoilers os no one has to read it who doesn't want to:
Select to view spoiler:
The important thing it to pull the skin tight and shave with the grain. Againt the grain hurts a lot. So pull upwards on the area and shave downwards. For the really... delicate... areas, just fold them outwards a little, pull, and shave. BE CAREFUL! Don't use too much cream, because it can get slick and you do not want a razor to slip in that area.
Yeah, it itches badly when it starts to grow back, so you have to shave it again right away or suffer. After enough times it's not as bad, but still itches.
I want a special razor for that area! That'd be nice!
Two wonderful Browncoat boys waiting for dating to begin, and I'm stuck in a different state. Fate is cruel.
I just reactivated one of my dating site accounts and did a search. No one on there looks very good to me. Bother.
Now I have "Baby Got Back" all running through my head. Damn but I love that song.
A little jiggle is fine, I think. Nothing wrong with the body going "squish" when squeezed, it's just a problem if it gets really out of hand. I'm pretty toned under my subcutanious layer; you just can't see it!
Yeah, never, ever get a tattoo of a person. Ex of Doom said at one point that he would like a rose tattoo. He couldn't afford any at the time, so he never got it. I thought that was very sweet... but we all know how it ended up.
Rugbug, remember that it isn't losing weight that matters, it's losing girth. Muscle weighs a lot more but takes up less room.
I would love to get my leg and armpit hair removed. And some of the lawn hair, too. If not all. Naw, I would leave a lit

I can go with the stage manager murdering.
I don't think I have any embarrasing theatre stories - i've done so many fittings and quick changes that nakeness no longer phases me. Um shall have to think of one.
Er, just to state that that article wasn't my opinion, though on the subject of brazillians, it's as near as maybe. Plus its also cause theres no way i'd ever get my bits out like that where it not really important (smear tests, urgh!) Hair's in certain places cause its ment to be I suppose. Saying that, I do keep the nethers neat and tidy and hair free in some places, mainly for my own comfort.
And I'm going to make a very feminist statement of - I do what iwant with my bits, and any guy can just like it or lump it. Hopefully he'd be interested in me and not the gardening.
Same goes for guys - i'll go with whatever he's comfortable with, its not my place to dictate.
CK, hold on in there. I found a useful trick was to find out what was wrong with me, then present it to the doctor in such a way that it sounded like their idea.
Oh god, PR, I'm really naieve when it comes to things like that as well. I've spent my entire life near liverpool, and I took a friend pointing out the local dealer when we were eating out once for me to even realise that yes, there must be dealers in liverpool.
Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.

Theatre?
I was involved in Theatre in High School. We were putting on a musical, and I managed to wrangle the lead (it had the least singing, and I was on stage almost all the time). The script initially was crap, but after a complete overhaul, we managed to make it something workable. I think it helped that I was willing to utterly destroy myself on stage for the injury gags.
Well, the bad situation was during the first performance. We hadn't even had a dress rehearsal, due to scheduling and time constraints, so we were flying, for the very first time, through the entire play, in front of an audience, with what seemed like the worst sound manager I've ever heard of.
At one point, the script called for a 'sudden and unexpected phone call' after I delivered a line. I delivered said line. Then I waited. And waited. And waited. After 30 seconds (an eternity on stage, you'd understand if you were there) go by, I turn to the manager, who's booth was at the back of the audience, and say in full stage voice "It would be nice to get a sudden and unexpected phone call right about now!"
Man, that first showing was a disaster. Lines were forgotten, chairs were broken, costumes were incomplete, and I actually got a little bit injured when I hit the floor once... The second time went off better, and the third (and final) time went off without a hitch. But that first run is burned into my memory.
EDIT: And for the record, PR, I'm not just in a different state. I'm in a different country

What has feminism have to do with waxing? In your opinion?
