Martial on Hair removal
← Back to Martial Profile
“In that you pluck each hair from your breast, from your legs, from your arms; in that your prick is shaven, and covered with short hairs; we all know of course, Labienus, that you do this for your mistress. But to whom do you offer your arse, which you shave, Labienus?”
“Why dost thou pluck each hair from thy aged cunt Ligia? Why rouse the embers of thy deadened lust? Such delicacy befits girls; for now thou canst not appear even an old woman. This, believe me, Ligia, Hector's mother, does not with grace, but Hector's wife. Thou art wrong if thou thinkest it a cunt, at which no prick can stand. Wherefore if thou hast a particle of shame, Ligia, beard not the dead lion.”
