Lately, the girls and I鈥攁ll current Alpha鈥檚鈥攈ave been discussing the 鈥済reat debate.鈥�
What do you find more personally satisfying, performing extractions or waxing?
Personally, I love popping zits: extractions.
There, I said it. You can think I鈥檓 weird, gross, and all sorts of other things. But I鈥檓 positive there is at least a 75% chance that you secretly enjoy picking at your skin. For those who don鈥檛, and rely on your estheticians, don鈥檛 worry. I鈥檓 a professional (in training). I now know the correct way to unblock clogged pores by pressing lightly to release a comedone鈥攁nd I know when to stop. For safety, I use sterile equipment, wear gloves, and clean the area with preventive products from Aveda.
I鈥檓 sure you鈥檙e wondering, 鈥淗ow can you find unclogging pores pleasurable?鈥�
There鈥檚 science behind it! Many theories have been proposed as to why it can be pleasurable from primitive habits from our remote past to grooming as a sexual stimulant.
I favor the theory expounded by Helen Fisher, author of the bestselling book 鈥淎natomy of Love: Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray.鈥� She explains that among hunter-gatherer societies, the brains and physiques of females are simply better at the fine motor-coordination necessary for good grooming, as well as certain other skills such as picking berries and making textiles. 鈥淚n primate societies, females groom more than males: their children, their relatives and individuals that they are going to copulate with,鈥� she says. 鈥淎nd they鈥檒l do it for hours.鈥�

Extractions, to me at least, are very relaxing. But the other half of the Alpha ladies prefer performing waxing services for different reasons. So the debate continues鈥攚here do you stand?
