Genital Hair Electrolysis

By Sallyanne Ofner

The other day, I experienced something which I had never experienced before. I was at Electrology-2000 for clearing of my genital area in anticipation of a visit to Neenah for SRS this coming April. (For those reading this and seeing this discussion for the first time, please note that you need as close to a year of clearing of most of the hairs around your genitals, including scrotal area, prior to surgery if the results are to be fully to your liking.) E-2000, as the company is often called, uses a process which includes numbing administered by a medically qualified individual and then the electrolysis is performed in a painless, rapid manner. I had had my face cleared several times earlier; the electrologists from this company will not do a persons' privates without knowing her; and this time was to be my first "down there".

I was a little apprehensive as I arrived in Dallas the night before and had a business meeting with the president of a company with whom mine is doing some consulting. But I told myself that this could be no more painful than my face with its upper lip and other sensitive places. Early next morning, I nonetheless found myself at the office, in a private treatment room, sanitized with white over the couch on which I would lay. I had removed my shorts and panties, covered my thighs and genitals with a paper sheet to ward off the air conditioning and waited. I could see my reflection in the unused television set in front of me where a truly decent-looking woman with long, attractive legs had laid herself out with them straddling over each side of the couch.

I gritted my teeth and worried. I had never, ever willingly let another touch me down there. Hadn't I always gritted my teeth and resisted during my prostate portion of my annual physical? Wasn't I very uncomfortable when my sexual partners earlier in life had wanted to do things with those very personal items between our legs? What was I doing here? Why was I going to subject myself to this particular brand of torture. Wouldn't the needle hurt as it always did as it was inserted?

Then it came to me. Next year I will be penetrated during my first dilation by the surgeon who will have created my vagina. A little later, I will visit my gynecologist for the first time. Nothing new nor bad there, but uncomfortable? Probably. Some day, I may be with a man. How would I react to losing control and having someone touching my clitoris and vagina? Was this not part of my preparation? The thought became clearer. This was a very important first step in letting others take control of me at certain times in my life. I am willingly becoming a woman now and am going to lose some control some of the time. I became serene, and the apprehension left along with the white knuckles.

A little later Dr Piranio, Electrology-2000's CEO and all important number, arrived and administered a very gentile series of injections which I did not feel. Then, Roxane, my electrologist for the day, came in and we talked about our kids, our lives and rock music. I left about six with a cleared genital area, an appointment to return in October and no apparent swelling nor any pain.

I drove the 3 ½ hours to Austin and haven't looked back.
