Why We Wax

Synopsis

WHY WE WAX is a hilarious look at modern culture's obsession with hair removal. With a light touch, through countless interviews, including Adult Film luminaries Candida Royalle and Michael Lucas, former Esthetician Mara Sanchez, Actor Maureen Flannigan, Erotica novelist Robin Slick, Gynecologist Dr. Desiree Clarke, the J Sisters - inventors of the "Brazilian Bikini Wax" and even the directors themselves, WHY WE WAX explores the history, fashion, function and not-strictly-feminine fascination with maintaining the hair..."down there."
