I've a theory for nasty work, the "Bikini Wax Theory of Nasty Work". The theory goes like this, a bikini wax and nasty work are exactly the same because:
1 - Nasty work and bikini waxes are both painful to do.
2 - you must move decisively and quickly for both nasty tasks and waxes, getting it over as quickly and competently as possible.
3 - if you fail to execute #2 properly the results will be a bloody and even more painful mess, likely taking more time to achieve the desired results.
I've shared this theory with close colleagues. Nobody has told me I'm wrong to my face.

- cm2012 8y agoMost people just wouldn't do a bikini wax given the options above. So maybe not the best advice for getting dreaded things done.

Then it's over and it doesn't hurt at all any more, though the cortisone cream is soothing.) Oh, the reason to go through that? It saves 6-8 weeks of shaving a very sensitive (and awkwardly shaped and difficult to inspect) area and dealing with 5-o'clock shadows and stubble and ingrown hairs and razor nicks. If you're self-conscious about wearing a swimsuit (or, for some, about your appearance in the bedroom), it's totally worth it. Now, that nasty work that you're procrastinating on: why do you want it to be done in the first place?
