Search Results: friend offended me

Tracey and I have been close since we were young and I consider her one of my best platonic female friends. If I understand what Tracey and her classmates will be thinking/feeling I think I’ll be able to walk in with more confidence that this won’t be a bad experience for them (and/or me). Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

Tracey and her boyfriend broke up a couple weeks ago and she needs a male model to bring to her waxing class. I was too overwhelmed to ask her any questions at the time but a video of a male Brazilian wax has me almost paralyzed with anxiety: Will I really be completely exposed from the waist down while being touched EVERYWHERE... ? Plus, she said I might be the only male cause others were having trouble finding willing models. That certainly doesn’t make me feel better.

Girls, wouldn’t this be MORE awkward to do to a close male friend than to a stranger? And God willing this won’t happen, but what if there’s some movement “down there” that I can’t stop because I’m so nervous? I’m a grower so I imagine every little twitch is pretty noticeable, but are girls curious about watching that happen? Will they even notice?

Will Tracey (or any of the other girls in the class) be offended if it does happen?

Will they think it’s because I’m aroused like some dirty lustful perv (do girls know erections can happen just from anxiety and nerves)? Would you be uncomfortable handling “it”?

Should I apologize for it, try to make a joke, or just ignore it and pray it goes back down? And then, what if it doesn’t the whole time?

A vindictive ex told me all girls think “growers” are gross and sad, even more so when growing. Is that true? I wish the whole thing could just be amusing and entertaining from their perspective. It makes me sad to think about how f-ed up men are to women and that in all likelihood some (hopeful not most!) will see this post as some kind of disgusting troll BS rather than an honest attempt figure myself out.

Obviously I don't mean total strangers because there's no way they would know your name, but I mean people like friends of friends, coworkers, teachers, whatever. How do you feel, if anything?

Personally I don't give a shit at all. I figure that people have a lot of things to remember.
