My partner, Jake, is quite the hairy fellow. He sports a notably furry chest, arms, and back, not to mention a robust beard that I sometimes wish he would let grow longer. His hair situation has certainly intensified over the 13 years we’ve been together. In fact, it’s grown so much that it rivals the state of Florida, which is amusing because I once teased him about his chest hair resembling a map of that very state.
Over the years, what started off as a few patches of hair on his upper back has transformed into a full-blown fur situation. If this continues, he might just become a literal bear by the time he hits 50. But there’s a significant downside to all this fuzz: the hair often gets confused and decides to grow sideways instead of upward. This little rebellion leads to swollen bumps, bacteria gathering, and the inevitable appearance of whiteheads. While he can manage the ones on his chest, the back ones are out of his sight—and thus out of his control.
And let me tell you, I can’t stand those pesky whiteheads. So, I take it upon myself to help him out. “Hold still,” I command, as I approach with my thumbnails ready for action.
This all began back when we were dating. He had a massive whitehead on his back that was practically screaming for attention. It looked almost alive, taunting me. “You have a gigantic zit on your back,” I pointed out, causing him to blush with embarrassment. Back then, zits were a source of shame, especially before the internet glorified pimple-popping.
“Let me take care of it for you,” I offered. He hesitantly agreed, turning around as I prepared for battle. The first squeeze was met with a pained “Ow!” But I pressed on, and to my surprise, an impressive amount of gunk erupted. It was unlike anything I had dealt with before—definitely a man-sized challenge.
From that moment on, I became his designated pimple popper. In our younger days, I would often have him lie on his stomach while I took on the whiteheads that appeared as his hair continued to grow. There was something oddly satisfying about the process, even if it wasn’t exactly romantic.
As time passed, Jake’s backne has calmed down significantly. These days, when a whitehead rears its ugly head, I can’t help but offer my services. But now, the tables have turned.
Hormonal changes have introduced me to an unwelcome friend: blackheads—particularly in the spots where my sports bra sits, thanks to my daily workouts. Now, it’s Jake who sneaks up on me with a “Hold still” as he wields his thumbnails. I pride myself on my ability to remain still and not let out a peep. After all, I’ve endured three labors and countless epidurals, so a little blackhead popping is nothing compared to that!
Despite the unromantic nature of this ritual, it somehow strengthens our bond. We’ve become comfortable with the natural, sometimes messy, functions of our bodies. I know he doesn’t think twice when he spots a tiny blackhead on my back, and he appreciates that I don’t view his back hair as a turn-off.
We often joke, “It’s a sign of love.” And while it sounds funny, it really does signify our acceptance of one another. It’s a willingness to engage in something that might seem gross to outsiders but is oddly fulfilling for us. So tonight, as I prepare to hit the hay, I’ll likely be on the lookout for any blemishes on Jake’s back, just as he has done for mine.
If you’re honest with yourself, you probably do this with your partner too!

Summary
Sharing the intimate experience of popping each other’s zits has become a quirky yet meaningful part of our relationship. Over the years, Jake’s back hair has grown thick, leading to the occasional battle with whiteheads, which I eagerly take on. Now, I find myself on the receiving end of pimple popping as I navigate my own skin challenges. Through it all, we’ve fostered a sense of acceptance and comfort in each other, proving that love often resides in the most unexpected places.
