Your first Male Brazilian wax treatment, or 'Manzilian', can seem daunting. That's totally understandable.
First-time male waxing clients often say they only came in for a Manzilian after thinking about it for months.
If that sounds like you, don't panic. You're certainly not alone.
Note: This page is specifically about men's pubic hair waxing. If you are looking for other body areas, e.g. backs, legs etc, visit the Men's Body Waxing page.
Man Thing Rockhampton specialises in Manzilian waxing
My name is Andrew Thompson and I've been working on naked bodies for 30 years.
I am well known in the hair removal industry throughout Australia. In fact, my old Brisbane shop was the very first male waxing studio in Queensland.
That's not a boast, but some serious comfort for guys who are considering their first Manzilian wax and don't know who to trust.
There are several big differences at Man Thing compared to other studios:
- Man Thing isn't a girly salon. It's more like a man cave with treatment rooms. It couldn't be less intimidating.
- Men like discretion. I leave a gap between bookings and only have one client in the shop at any time. You can also park around the back of the shop for extra privacy.
- Men's Brazilians and other male beauty treatments are the core of my business, not just an add-on.
So that's the big sell. I hope you liked it 😊
Below, you'll find a ton of info on Men's Brazilian Waxing as well as prices and popular styles.
I want to show you that removing men's pubic hair is one of my specialties, and I want you to walk through the door feeling comfortable, informed, and relaxed.
Call me on 4926 7778 or 0422 276 202 if you have any questions or to make a booking. You can also book online.
Have a brilliant day,
Andrew Thompson.

How experienced are you in male Brazilian waxing?
I've waxed the balls of 20,000+ men, from coal miners and coppers to sports stars and celebrities.
I'm pretty sure there's no one more experienced in Australia.
I'm a cyclist and get itchy rashes on my balls and butt. Should I get waxed?
Yes, waxing is definitely one of the safest and most popular options for male cyclists who want to remove pubic hair from their perineum, anus, and scrotum.
Full article:
I want a female therapist. How do I make sure I get one?
I'll let you in on an industry secret. Every salon owner in the world knows that when a guy rings up asking for a female therapist to do his Manzilian, he's one of three things:
- sexually repressed and slimy, or
- homophobic and possibly violent, or
- a sex predator hoping to shoot his load while some innocent girl oils his dick.
Don't be that guy.
Every waxing studio has a code of conduct that clients are expected to follow.
Full article:
How much does a Manzilian wax hurt?
Preparing for your first Manzilian Wax is important.
Like many things, the first time is the worst time. That said however, it's not terribly painful, and any tenderness fades quickly.
Regular follow up treatments are gentler than the first, as your hair roots won't have time to grow to their previous thickness and density.
Full article:
Do hair growth retardants work on pubic hair?
In principle, yes. The issue regarding efficacy lies with their application, particularly when it comes to coarse pubic hair.
The problem is that hair growth retardants need to reach the hair follicle to have any impact, and the only window of time to achieve this, is immediately after waxing.
For maximum effectiveness, pubic hair growth retardant must be applied by your waxing therapist immediately after your waxing treatment.
Treatment page:
Will regular Brazilian Waxing make my hair come back thinner?
Yes, if you maintain it every 4 to 6 weeks. Beyond eight weeks, it will return to its previous thickness. Contrary to popular myth, waxing does not have a permanent effect on hair density unless you keep up with it for a long time.
Do you have any before and after photos of men's Brazilian Waxing?
Yes, at the end of this page is a hidden gallery to protect the eyes of the innocent. You can enter the gallery wherever you see this emoji 🍆.
Can my partner come in for support while I get my male Brazilian wax?
Yes, that's fine, but given it's for your benefit, I'll be suspicious if they're sitting on their phone. It is not OK for them to take video of your treatment.
A mate said guys who get men's Brazilians just want to look like little boys.
Hmm, yeah, I've heard that a few times over the years and it still makes me cringe. It's a weird thing to say, right?
As the father of four relatively sane now-adult children AND four grand-children, I can assure you that the genitalia of a pre-pubescent boy looks nothing like that of a waxed man.
Sorry to break it to you, but your mate has a kiddie fixation.
What could prevent me receiving a male Brazilian wax?
This is a big topic. Medications, diseases, and skin disorders, are among the many contraindications for waxing that might make you unsuitable for treatment.
Full article:
How old do I have to be to get my pubic hair waxed?
This is a curly one, pardon the pun.
The age of sexual consent in Queensland AU is 16, while the age at which one is considered adult, is 18.
It's an odd little quandry, but armed with said logic, I will provide Manzilian waxing from age 16.
Under 16, I will only do a Speedo bikini wax which is basically along the leg crease. You will also keep your jocks on, and a parent - not a friend or sibling - will be in the treatment room.
Generally though, it's rare to have a request for removal of pubic hair on 16-17 year old boys. I do less than a dozen each year.
For the most part, I think teenage guys like to retain their hair for a few years, perhaps in celebration of reaching puberty. The desire to be smooth generally kicks off from late teens to early twenties, with no upper age limit.
Is Brazilian Waxing just something gay guys get done?
When I first started performing these treatments 20-something years ago, I would have said yes, most clients are gay, or at least bisexual.
So, what type of guy gets a Manzilian wax? Nowadays, it's everyone. There's no set demographic.
Full article:
I'm worried I'll get a boner or cum during my Manzilian Wax.
My first suggestion is don't overthink it. It's a non-sexual service. I might dress like a middle-aged cabana boy but we're not hooking up. 😂 😏 😂
The reality is that new clients often get a boner. Chances are, your little buddy will go hard and soft repeatedly throughout. This curious rollercoaster ride is never a problem unless the client can't cope with his own reaction.
Getting an erection doesn't mean you're 'turning gay' or being unfaithful. You're simply having an adrenaline rush laced with happy hormones - endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin.
Your senses are going boom. After all, you're lying naked in front of a stranger who's dripping oils and warm wax on your man bits while firmly stretching your penis.
And it's great that you're hard. I prefer waxing a boner. It's easier and faster and pulls the skin of your scrotum tight. No skin wrinkles means a nice smooth result, and that means you'll come back again.
Meanwhile you're lying there in a daze of happy hormones, taking the edge off the treatment, so that's a win-win all round.
Are you likely to cum? Not really, but I understand that some guys do suffer from premature ejaculation. If that's what you're worried about, don't stress. Even if you do have an accident, A handful of tissues and ten seconds later, it never happened.
Hopefully the above helps reconcile your fears. All you need to do is lie there and find comfort within yourself, and that includes not beating yourself up over reactions that are perfectly normal.
Related article:
If I get a Manzilian, will it increase sensitivity during sex?
Yes, dramatically. The difference is amazing. Your partner will love it too.
This insider article about how sex sells in the Manzilian waxing industry is a fun read. It discusses the psychology and motivations of male clients, as well as the people who wax them.
What sort of clothing do I wear when I'm on the table?
None. Nada. Zip. Well a shirt and socks if you want.
Beware of any waxing studio that makes you wear disposible undies or hold your own junk.
Male genitalia has a lot of loose skin. During waxing, it needs to be stretched firmly. I don't agree with the general practice in the industry that a male client has to hold his own junk tight, and nor that they should somehow do it through a layer of fabric.
This is why many guys get bruises and skin tears when they go to dodgy waxing studios. When you book, ask if this is how they roll, and if it is, don't do it - Trust me on this; you'll be in agony.
I'm worried my mates will find out I had a Men's Brazilian Wax and torment me.
There's a workplace on the southside of town, a nation-wide company that fixes heavy machinery - very blokey blokes - and for some reason, one by one, they started coming in for Manzilians around the same time.
It confused me because I doubted they were referrals because guys don't talk about this kind of stuff. And I was right - they weren't referrals. It turned out that the cause of this influx from one blokey workplace was an ad that I'd put on the radio, which by chance played throughout all the workshops where everyone could hear it.
These guys must have been scurrying about in secret writing down my phone number, because every one of them said "Please don't tell anyone I come here - My mates will take the piss." Meanwhile, unknown to each of them, all of their mates were coming in for a Brazilian Wax treatment as well.
The moral of this story? Guys are dumb. Get over yourselves. It's fine to want smooth balls.
Will I have to get on all fours to have a Brazilian?
No. Unless your waxer is also a proctologist, this falls into the realm of weird. I can't believe how often guys ask me this, but no, I see no reason why your therapist would need you to bend over like a gimp.
I'm curious about getting IPL instead. Can I find out more?
Sure. Here's the link to the IPL Hair Removal section of the site:
Treatment page:
I'm hung like a hamster. I'm stressed that you'll laugh at my package.
Men are really insecure about sex nowadays. It's due to all the advertising about penis enlargements, erectile dysfunction, etc, which is all just marketing crap.
Sure, some guys do come in with extremely small penises, clinically referred to as a micropenis, which is one that is shorter than 7.5 centimetres (3 inches) when erect.
A therapist of any repute certainly isn't going to belittle a man for the biological cards he was dealt. They are there to remove your hair, not judge you.
As a sidenote, I will say that over the last two decades, the image of only one guy's penis sticks in my memory.
It was massive, beyond huge like a baby's arm, and had a thick Prince Albert piercing through the eye. Then on its underside were 12 titanium dumbbell piercing - one every inch - and under that, two duck-egg sized testicles like you wouldn't believe, with hoop piercings in the scrotum as well.
Its entire length was tattooed bright red with a dragon's head and two huge wings wrapping around the guys buttocks. The whole assembly was truly impressive to behold. Problem being though, he was 45 years old and still a virgin. Just the sight of it scared people, and I seriously doubt that any woman, man, or beast could have endured being this guy's lover. So, he turned it into an artwork with piercings and tattoos.
The moral of this vaguely-related ramble is just to be happy with what you've got.
Full article:
I identify as female or have gender dysphoria. Will you charge me female pricing?
If I am waxing a penis and scrotum, you will be charged male pricing.
If you are post-op and have physically transitioned to female, I will honour female pricing for Brazilian Waxing.
How long after a male Brazilian wax treatment before I can have sex?
In regards to having sex after a Manzilian wax, everyone's biology is different. Response times do vary from client to client.

Do I need to buy a special exfoliating mitt for the regrowth?
No just a cheapie - Don't pay $20 for one of those yuppy mitts at the salon. Go to Woolworths and buy a pair for two bucks.
