sugar and spice

Went to session. Possibly the person who I spoke with was actually sick, but I was worked on by two gentle persons who knew their craft well. Excepting that we barely had a language in common (meaning I got very nice practice for my host country language). Also I had not done any sludge-based hair removal before, and they never intimate region hair removal on someone with my anatomy. We all learned though. Also I had hoped to just do sugaring, but got mostly hot wax – I accepted this though as another rite of passage, will seek to do just sugaring next time. Awkward and interesting, more painful than I had thought but clearly less than the laser, even in intimate regions. The latter its own type of awkwardness because my anatomy still responds involuntarily to all sorts of states including stress or relaxation or pain or touch, but nothing too embarrassing. Fascinated by the logic of softer tissues – they need to be held taut so that the expert can perform the proper pull-off-clump-of-wax movement. That part hurt. And now I need to be careful and kind to my skin. Will do so. All in all though? Feeling so, so good for it. Need to either learn to do these things myself or to find a framework where getting it done regularly is a possibility.
