bellaflash hair removal system
This is the hair removal system we bought to tame Lion’s nether regions. Click the image to go to Costco product page.

Yesterday was a bit less hectic than Saturday. We went to the warehouse store and the supermarket. Mrs. Lion kindly did manscaping. The new Bella Flash hair removal device shows great promise. After only three weeks, there is a marked reduction of the amount of hair growing back. The BellaFlash device uses a flash tube as the source of energy. Flash tubes are used in photography as well as powerful landing lights and other “strobe” applications.

The bright light contains a lot of energy; very similar to the energy contained in a laser beam. The flash transmits heat through dark hairs to the follicle. This action stuns the follicle and it doesn’t produce more hair, at least for a while. I had laser treatments about fifteen years ago that covered a lot of my pubic hair. Almost all of it has not returned. There is just one stubborn patch at the base of my penis that kept growing back very thin hairs.

Since the three treatments with the Bellaflash, this area is growing back a much lighter crop. In other places that the laser never touched, namely my rear, Mrs. Lion notes that in many spots hair hasn’t returned. In others it is sparser. That means the BellaFlash is getting enough heat down to the follicles to at least stun them.

Treatments have to continue every two weeks for some months. Follicles grow hairs on their own schedule. Dermatologists have observed that some go dormant for as much as 250 days before sprouting. So, the BellaFlash can’t attack a follicle that hasn’t produced a hair. Over eight or nine months most, if not all, follicles will produce some hair. The biweekly treatments should catch them as they come up past the skin.

numb master anesthetic gel
This is the Lidocaine gel I use to reduce the pain associated with the BellaFlash hair removal system. Click image for a link to where I buy it.

This process isn’t without pain. The flash can hurt. My balls, in particular, are the most sensitive. We are able to flash most of me at maximum power. You want to use the most power you can. We have to go down a notch for my balls. I use an anesthetic cream before each treatment. Without it, the discomfort is very high. I use Numb Master. It’s a 5% Lidocaine gel. That’s the most concentrated you can buy without a prescription. It gets applied over the entire area to be treated. A few minutes after the first application, you put a thick coating of it over the first. Then you cover the area with plastic wrap. The wrap keeps it from rubbing off and it also causes the area to get warmer. This activates the anesthetic. Wait between 30 and 45 minutes before starting the treatment. Just before treating, remove the plastic wrap and use a wet washcloth to clean up the area. Then shave the entire area and do the light treatment. The gel is expensive but well worth the cost. It takes most of the pain out of the flash.

The day after treatment you may notice what looks like a sunburn where you used the BellaFlash. This is normal. You will also see “stubble” appearing to grow out of the treatment area. Actually this is the burnt hair that was under the skin being pushed out. It’s not new hair growing back. This process only works on dark hair and light skin. It won’t work on blonde or grey hair. The unit checks the color of your skin, and if it is too dark, it won’t fire.

If you buy the device from Costco, you can return it any time if you don’t get results. Amazon only gives you a thirty day return time limit. The results so far are on a par with the professional laser treatments I got from a doctor. Of course, it will be months before I know if this turns out to be just as long lasting. I’m encouraged by the results so far.

no pubic hair
The laser hair removal leaves no stubble, just smooth skin.

We spend some time writing about my pubic hair; well the lack of it. This may seem curious to some. It certainly isn’t a requirement for either enforced male chastity or FLR. In my case, pubic hair has been missing for decades. It all started many years ago when a girlfriend and I decided to try BDSM. We switched for a while, taking turns topping and bottoming. It became clear that bottoming didn’t suit her at all. So, I got the bottom role.

During the time we started dating I kept my nether hair neatly trimmed. She never commented and I didn’t think much about it. After we moved in together I stopped trimming. One Saturday afternoon she had me tied spread-eagle on my back. She walked out of the room and came back with a bowl and washcloth. Without a word, she took a razor from the bowl and removed all of my pubic hair. I was surprised and not very happy about this activity. She paid no attention to my reaction. When she finished, she wiped me off with the wet washcloth. I finally asked her why she did that to me. She replied in a very matter-of-fact voice, “Everyone knows that lions don’t have any pubic hair.”

My witty reply was, “Oh.” From then on, every Saturday she would lead me to the bathroom and keep my genitals and surrounding area completely hairless. She also shaved my ass as well. I asked her how she decided how wide an area she would shave in front. Her reply was to stretch my penis as far as it would pull and then move it in an arc around my body. “That’s how,” she said. She also wanted to remove my underarm hair. I begged her not to do that. So she kept it trimmed very short instead.

When we broke up, I let everything grow back. It stayed that way for about six months. Then I started a relationship with a lesbian couple. I suppose when we started having sex they were a bisexual couple. Tomatoes, potatoes. After a month or so, one of them said she wondered how I would look without pubic hair. I asked her how she knew that lions don’t have pubic hair? She said that everyone knows that. By the way, I’ve had the lion nickname forever. It’s been my online nickname since the 80’s. So, she removed mine and I removed hers. Fair is fair.

Since then, I’ve been hairless down there. I’ve learned to prefer it. In the mid-90’s I decided that if I was going to permanently stay hairless, I might as well find a way to make things easier. So, I hunted till I found a doctor who would deal with it with his laser. It was expensive and hurt a lot, but it worked quite well. Most of the hair has been gone since then. A patch just above the base of my penis grows back. It’s not thick hair, but it is hair. My balls were never completely done. It hurt too much with the laser. I couldn’t afford my perineum or butt.

Mrs. Lion has kept me fur free front and back as long as we have been together. A couple of weeks ago I suggested we try one of the at-home hair removal units that use bright light in the same way the doctor’s laser worked. A laser, after all, is light. After reading a lot of reviews we decided to try it. It’s too soon to know if it will work, but even if it isn’t perfect, it will most likely make maintenance hair removal much less frequent.

It turns out that it is much more comfortable to wear a chastity device if there is no pubic hair. Guys complain that the cages and tubes catch the hair and hurt. I have no such problem. Keeping clean is easier too. There’s no hair to trap smells. When I first lost that hair it was very odd for a male to be hairless down there. Now, manscaping is considered good manners. Suddenly it’s fashionable to be a lion.

I have a wild Lion. After we played last night I decided to leave him unlocked. I don’t know why. It just seemed like the thing to do at the time. I know I have some manscaping to do, but I can easily unlock him for that. I guess I just wanted to give him some time off for good behavior.

His orgasm is scheduled for Monday night. Since he starts his new job Monday, I am considering giving him the orgasm Sunday night instead of making him wait. I’m thinking maybe he’ll be more relaxed if he’s not a horny boy. And I’m also wondering if the new job with a new commute will wipe him out for any play time Monday night. It has been a while since he’s had to work a full day and deal with a commute that could stretch to an hour or more each way. It will take some getting used to.

I may be wrong. Lion may be rejuvenated by working. He may come bounding in the door ready for anything. In that case, an orgasm Sunday night won’t hurt anyway. He’ll just have more energy to play. It will be punishment night although he has nothing on his list at the moment. I’m sure I can find something if I just pay attention hard enough. He’s not perfect. He doesn’t need energy to be punished, but it’s easier for me to punish him if he’s not tired or worried or down.

Later today I will do the manscaping and maybe play with him a bit. It’s so tempting when I’m pulling on his balls to shave him and Mr. Weenie is usually hard and requesting attention. If nothing else I usually give him a quick suck and a few tugs. Maybe today he’ll get edged right then and there. I’m sure he won’t argue with that timing. I’ll have him clean the cage and then he can be locked up again. Safe and sound. And he’ll just have fond memories of being a wild Lion.

lion's excess pubic hair
As you can see, the dog isn’t the only critter who needs grooming. Mrs. Lion plans to remove the excess hair this weekend.

If the recruiter is to be believed, I only have one more day to wait to get the news on the job I have the most hope of getting. I hate to say it, but there is no plan B. It’s not the way I like to operate. Stay tuned. Today I take the dog for a bath. This will help my allergies. I’m pretty sure she will hate it. However, I will take her toy shopping afterward. That will dim the memory of all that attention from the groomers. As you can see from the image on the right, it’s been some time since my last grooming session. Mrs. Lion uses an epilator to remove most of the hair. While a bit painful, the results last longer and when the hair grows in, it’s much finer and some never comes back as you can see in the image. Sometimes she takes pity on me and teases me during the grooming session.

I want to stress that pubic hair removal is not required for enforced chastity or FLM. I’ve been hairless for decades; long before considering enforced chastity. Of course, there is an advantage to losing that hair: there isn’t any to get caught in the chastity device. It also makes staying clean a little easier. Some people associate pubic hair with power. If you have it, you have power. If you don’t, you are submissive. That might have been true in 1975, but over the last 40 years, shaved male pubes have become more fashionable. Many men groom body hair of all sorts. I do trim the underarm hair as well. Mrs. Lion keeps my butt hairless. I do tend to get very furry back there.

In the vanilla world, all this shaving and trimming has no power implications. A lot of guys think they look better without all that fur. I’ve felt that way since long before I even knew there was such a thing as D/S. People who write about enforced chastity on the various forums have endless posts about pubic hair. Oddly, almost no one mentions other body hair. In D/S, many bottoms remove all body hair as a sign of submission. This practice apparently hasn’t had wide acceptance in the enforced chastity world. Good thing. What a lot of extra work!

I think it is interesting that many, including me, see some relationship between hair and power. In my case, it isn’t a strong one. But I have always liked that Mrs. Lion has pubic hair and I don’t. It makes me feel more vulnerable. That feeling of vulnerability is one thing I like about our male chastity power exchange. Many of the things that Mrs. Lion initially feels are too much end up increasing that vulnerable feeling as well. I like that. It is exciting to me. It explains why I get that little rush when Mrs. Lion tells me I will be punished. It makes me feel vulnerable to her power. That, not the spanking, turns me on. It’s also why being groomed is exciting too.
