Yes, Yes, Yes. The first time I got one was a surprise for my boyfriend's (now husband) birthday so I love the Valentine's day idea. That was 3 years ago and I never stopped getting Brazlians. Personally, I feel much cleaner down there and if you get one, you'll know what i mean. Also, the sex is better. I dont want to get graphic but for me, it enhances sex. Finally, I love it because I can wear any bathing suit bottom I want and never, ever have to feel like something might be showing. It will hurt, but they should have some numbing spray or cream. Go to a professional spa or salon though, dont try to find the "cheapest" brazilian and I wouldnt recommend Asian nail shops either as they are doing brazilians now.
