Headshave Interview : Ro Slave

Ash: When did you first start getting the urge to shave your head?

Ro Slave: When I was a teenager, I always got really horny when I saw bald guys. I wanted to be like them and always have my hair really short. But I was scared of the reactions in school.

Ash: How did you have your hair as a kid?

Ro Slave: My father always cut it and chose my hair style. Always the same, #2 back and sides, he cut the top with scissors up until I was 12 or 13 years old. But he wasn’t strict, no punishment haircuts or anything.

Ash: Did you ever want to grow it longer?

Ro Slave: No, I never wanted long hair, I always wanted it short.

Ash: When was the first time you shaved it totally bald?

Ro Slave: I went totally smooth for the first time at the end of 2017. I was twenty-five. I really loved the experience. It was after a session with a dom, he buzzed my hair with a number 0 clipper. I razor shaved it myself afterwards.

Ash: Why did you wait till you were 25 to shave it bald?

Ro Slave: I didn’t have the courage to do it before. I had a boyfriend who was my master, but he never shaved me bald, he just buzzed it. He didn’t have a haircut fetish he just liked the humiliation of it.

Ash: How was it – being bald for the first time?

Ro Slave: Amazing, I really love it. I feel like I was born to be bald. The sensation is amazing. I feel so hot and submissive. I jerk off rubbing my hand over my smooth head and brows.

Ash: What do you think is so submissive about have a shaved head?

Ro Slave: Feeling like you don’t have the right to have any hair. The dehumanization

Ash: You shaved your eyebrows too.

Ro Slave: For me that’s even more submissive. I love being ordered to shave my brows and head. It’s better if someone shaves me, but I haven’t found any people here in Brazil that want to do that, so I obey masters online.

Ash: How did your friends and family react to your shaved head and shaved brows?

Ro Slave: Most people find it weird, but they don't criticize me. I wear glasses, so most people don’t notice when I have no eyebrows. But even if they do I don’t care, I like the humiliation

Ash: How masculine are you?

Ro Slave: I consider myself masculine, and I love a masculine aesthetic. A shaved head is both masculine and submissive to me. 

Ash: How macho and masculine are guys in Brazil?

Ro Slave: There is a very strong masculine culture here. I like small elements of it like the barbershops, but it can also be toxic and chauvinistic.

Ash: Have you ever done drag?

Ro: Yes. I love Rupaul’s Drag Race. My favourite queen is Bianca Del Rio.

Ash: Would you like to live permanently as a shaved slave?

Ro Slave: This is my dream, to be someone’s 24/7 live in slave boy. He won’t give me permission to have any hair, and he’ll shave my head and brows all the time. My ultimate fantasy is to eventually have it all lasered off. Being unable to grow hair anymore would be the ultimate submission for me.

Ash: What does being a slave mean to you?

Ro Slave: To have all aspects of your life under control. Mainly appearance and hair.

Ash: What if a master wanted you to grow your hair really long?

Ro Slave: No, I wouldn’t like that!

Ash: Tell me about the first time you had really submissive sex.

Ro Slave: It was an old guy that I met online. We went to a motel and he got me to do pup play. He tied me up and gagged me with my underwear and fucked me. I loved the experience. I felt realized.

Ash: You seem very happy to talk about and share photos of your fetish.

Ro Slave: I’m an exhibitionist, I love exposing myself in that way. Sharing photos of myself being submissive and bald turns me on.

Ash: Have you always been so open about your fetishes?

Ro Slave: No, it came with maturity. In the beginning it was hard to share them.

Ash: Do you ever feel like your fetish is an addiction? 

Ro Slave: I think about it all the time and spend a good part of my free time watching and enjoying the fetish stuff. I feel I need it, but at the same time, I want to be happy and being a bald slave is what makes me happy. 

Headshave Interview : Waxing, Epilating, and Shaving

RS has at different times waxed his entire head, epilated it to resemble male pattern baldness, and shaved off his eyebrows. I really wanted to interview him to find out about this more extreme side of head shave fetishes.

Ash: How much of your hairstyle is natural balding and how much did you remove yourself?

RS:  I’d say it’s 10% natural balding and 90% removal.

Ash: Have you always been into MPB or did it start off as an interest in shaving?

RS: Growing up, I was always apprehensive about having short hair. I didn’t try a buzzcut until my freshman year in college. Then, within a month of trying it, I had gone from a #4 to a #1. The following summer is when “the guard fell off” for the first time. Soon after that, I was keeping my head bic’ed smooth. I’m fairly new at enjoying MPB. I think I like the sense of committing to the look.

Ash: I always had this conflict that I was turned on by the idea of shaving my head but I also wanted long- ish hair. Did you have any of that?

RS: Right up until college, I was never really satisfied with my hairstyle; it was kinda “just there”. So, I didn’t really have the feeling that I was losing something when I buzzed it. In fact, I enjoyed the elevated sense of style. I was a bit self-conscious when I took it down to the skin. I think going from 6mm to skin was as big a change for me as long hair to a buzzcut. But at this point, most of my family and friends say they wouldn’t even recognize me with hair. I’ve been feeling the same about my MPB by choice, since my family and co-workers aren’t used to that yet. I love the attention it gets and as a submissive, I especially enjoy some light teasing for it. However, my family and co-workers pointing it out is uncomfortable. For them it’s a casual observation, but to me, they’re unknowingly discussing my fetishes.

Ash: When did you start getting into the idea of simulating late stage male pattern baldness?

RS: I started getting into it within the last year or so. I stumbled upon a few blogs and discussions about mpb, and grew a liking for it. Having the shadow or stubble looks mature, it seems more permanent than just shaving by choice, and it keeps me from slacking off on the shaving unless I’m in the mood to show off how bald I really am now.

Ash: This thing about showing it off is really interesting. It's like self-humiliation, being a sub without needing a dom.

RS: Totally! I’ve been making it a point to take my hat off whenever I’m in public doing errands, just to get that satisfaction. When I shaved my eyebrows off, I found the attention a bit overwhelming, but MPB garners just the right amount of attention and humiliation for me.

Ash: How did you start pulling it out? How painful was it?

RS: I’ve had good luck with waxing and with using an electric epilator. The first couple of time, it was definitely painful. I would work on a section and then have to take a break. The hair is weaker now, so tweezing and waxing hurts far less. Maintaining the look is no longer painful and was well worth the tough start. 

Ash: Did you have much worry about making a change that could be fairly permanent? Or was that the exciting thing about it?

RS: Both, but the excitement outweighed the worry. Glad I went for it, and I have no regrets. 

Ash: Does it bother you at all that MPB is not conventionally attractive?

RS: It sucks that it’s viewed that way by a lot of people, but it doesn’t really bother me that much. If I decide I’d like to be more conventionally attractive, I can always revert to shaving daily. One perk of being in my 30’s now is that I should start seeing other guys my age start reaching for the razor because they’re going bald naturally. I’m looking forward to that. I’ve been embracing this fetish for long enough now, where I actually find guys with long shaggy hair less attractive. The shorter, the better. I would love to see more guys show off their skull.

Ash: One thing I've been trying to work out through my blog is how much I should act on my fetishes. How important are your fetishes in your life?

RS: They do hold a pretty significant role. The shaving fetish is my favorite. But it’s incorporated into my lifestyle already, so it’s not something I think about frequently. It's a fetish that is acceptable to let take over your life. It’s not destructive, or inhibiting to any other part of your life. Example: I’d wear a shirt in public that says “I’m bald”. I would NOT wear a shirt that says “I love watersports”.

Ash: I wonder if I think about it more because I'm not bald at the moment!

RS: It’s very possible that you’re thinking more about it since you want it and don’t have it. If family and friends are what’s holding you back, I’d advise slowly and steadily going shorter and shorter. Buzzcut, then high and tight, and then bald from there. When you’re asked about it, just confidently say “I love it, I’m thinking of going even shorter.” You’ll get their awkward feedback out of the way before you even turn on those clippers. If you look at Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs people struggle with this because shaving your head for fetish enjoyment is an esteem need, not feeling negative feedback from family and friends is a belonging/love need. Lower pieces weigh on us more than upper pieces. I think this is why somebody could go forever without indulging in the shave.

 

Ash: I guess I've always thought of my fetish stuff as something that I should enjoy but not let rule me. Gender wise I'm verging on non-binary and when I've shaved my head sometimes I don't feel like myself. I have a theory that my fetish is what my brain did with the fact I didn't like having my hair cut short as a child.

RS: Well, I also didn’t like short haircuts growing up. I can still remember two times when I was school-aged where my parents had it cut down to an inch and it was super embarrassing.

Ash: I really want to ask about the eyebrow shaving. How was that?

RS: I like it for humiliation during a scene, but they grow back so slow! If you think explaining a bald head is hard. Try to covering up eyebrows for several weeks while they regrow. It’s a “forbidden fruit” because it re-balances the scale between kink and everyday life. Highly recommended for a Covid quarantine though; it’s super erotic!

Ash: Did the quarantine help you at all in giving yourself MPB?

RS: I would have done it anyways. I did use my quarantine to ditch the brows and even eyelashes. They’ve grown back, and I’d love to shave them again, but I’m happier the way I look with brows and a shiny bald spot for a haircut. 

Ash: I've noticed some people that are into having their heads shaved are kind of autosexual.

RS: When I first went really short, that was definitely a thing. I could reach climax without thinking about anything but my bald head. Nowadays, not so much. If I am watching porn and jacking off, I will sometimes rub my head and it still enhances the experience.

Ash: Do you think it'll grow back?

RS: Probably not. I have been working on the MPB enough, where I think some of it will stick, but some will definitely regrow. I thought about it a lot before I started, so even though it’s a commitment with upkeep, I’ll happily keep plucking away.

Ash: Do you think your shaving and baldness fetish has got any new areas to explore?

RS: I have waxed the entire head once or twice but the fringe grew back entirely the same. I think my plan is too eventually have laser hair removal for MPB, and then down the road get the entire head done. Both MPB and a clean skull are very appealing to me.
