Poll question: Women DUers - What Do You Think of Men's Thongs as Underwear?
I guess I brought this on myself.

For years, I've bought my wife lingerie (along with other things) for those significant days like birthdays, Xmas etc. However, this past Valentine's Day I didn't - I ordered some perfume from Fragonard in France.

My wife - however - was anticipating that I'd purchase the usual lingerie, so she decided to play what's-good-for-the-goose and surprised me with a package of...gulp!...male thongs. Yikes!

Anyway, per her urging, I started wearing them rather than the usual thingy when I did my daily workout of walking and a exercises. And, I've worn them out on occasion when she's intimated that she thought it would be "fun," usually with jeans.

Anyway, here's my question for the ladies: do you think thongs are sexy on a guy? I think my wife started this as a gag, but now she seems into it. I'm not bothered by them (they're actually not at all uncomfortable), and it's not like I'm overweight or anything (I still have a 32-33" waist at age 49...at 6'2" and with a 47" chest from my past years of weight lifting).

1. I'll take a guy in nice boxers any time.
Thongs on guys? I'll pass. Boxers are sexier to me. I also like drawstring pajama pants on guys. :-)

4. Yeah, that's always been my wife's preference as well.
That's what makes it a bit...odd.

BTW - I DON'T like boxers. It's the Kramer problem with your, er, "boys."

6. Go with boxer briefs.
Same look as boxers, but um, more support for the boys.

11. Yep. That's the ticket, I must say.
The only problem is when you wear not-too-loose jeans...you can see the old shorts above the knees.

2. I've got news for you, - they aren't comfortable on women either.
But to answer your question, it kind of depends on the guy. I've seen some fellas carry off just about anything and look hot, and other who, - inspite of a great physique, -just look wrong in anything but boxer or the altogether.

Wear what you're comfortable with. Confidence is always sexy.

9. When they fit properly,
you don't even notice them. I literally can't wear butted panties anymore. Having the leg openings wrapping around my thighs bothers the hell out of me.

12. On the right body, I'm all for them
On the wrong body - you know, that guy on the beach who makes you want to hide YOUR face in shame when he appears in a teensy Speedo - they are frightening. But it's all about the comfort. If you find them comfortable and you like the way they look, more power to ya. It's not like I'd kick a guy out of bed if he dropped trou and revealed he was wearing a thong. I reserve that for the guys whose hygiene is questionable.

13. I love 'em
But then again I love it any time a man wears underwear that makes it look like they actually put some thought into it rather than just picking up a pair of tighty-whities. :)

17. Thanks. Yeah, I came back from the overweight abyss
Edited on Tue Mar-02-04 06:53 PM by stopbush
about 3 years ago via Atkins. I was up to a 39" waist at my heaviest. Once the weight came off, I sent all of my "fat" clothes to the Goodwill. Why have them in the closet as an "inspiration" to expand back into them?

I guess I should be glad wifey still thinks of me in those "sexy underwear?" terms...she could've got me a package of drill bits.
