It’s a weekday evening and I’m on the phone with Anna-Scarlet. She tells me about a radio show that she listened to earlier in the day, the Kid Craddick morning show. “They were talking about men who wear thongs,” she says then pauses. “Funky Brown Chick … all I kept thinking about was The Face*.”
Ooooh, a blast from the past. The Face. I remember him. He was unbelievably gorgeous, and he looked like a caramel-dipped Ken Doll. We dated years ago. Dated. Hmmm, now that I think about it, I don’t even know if you’d call it “dating”. He was already “dating” a woman that I absolutely abhorred. She was habitually rude to me for absolutely no reason at all. And, that really pissed me off. So, I fucked her boyfriend, The Face, a couple of times because he was gorgeous and because I didn’t give two shits about how it would make her feel. This is not behavior that I would condone and/or engage in at present. That was a long time ago. I was younger. I was a different person. But, back to the matter at hand … The Face wore a hot pink thong and shaved his pubic hair bald. Because I’d never dated anyone who’d worn a thong and/or shaved, I thought it was all a little bit odd. But, over the years, I’ve come across women and men who have said that it’s perfectly fine for a man to wear a thong. Actually, a lot of strippers wear thongs, and many people think guys in thongs are sexy. (I, however, am not one of those people.) Hmmm, what do you think? A man in a thong—“yummy, give me more” or “no thanks, I’ll pass”?

* Over the years, The Face has made somewhat of a name for himself; and, now, his picture can be found in modern magazines.

I am now sixteen. Just yesterday I went to Victoria’s Secret and bought 5 thongs. They fit really great! I love them. My mom finally gave in and said that she didn’t care where I bought my thongs. Now I have a total of twenty five thongs!
I bought 5 pair at Target in a multi pack as a joke. I got to wearing them and fell in love. The best comfort I have ever worn. Not sure what to do about my friends. Not sure they will understand. Wife loves them too!
I have about 7 or 8 Hom thongs for men. I’m a very fit athlete and keep myself tanned and trimmed everywhere, so I am not hard on the eyes at all! I bought them when I was overseas to wear beneath some tighter jeans that seem to be in style there. Boxers and even briefs kind of bunch up with those jeans. Back home I don’t wear them though because I don’t want them to pop out of my low rise jeans and let anyone see.
One girlfriend liked them, one told me it was totally gross before looking.
I also bought those tight swim shorts when I was overseas that I wouldn’t wear here either or would be laughed at. The pool actually had a rule against board shorts. The shorts are like the ones James Bond wore:

I would prefer people didn’t make fun of you or label you gay for some article of clothing you wear. Thongs were traditionally for men anyway, since they provide support for men and are unhygienic for women. Think back to the days of people living in the jungle. They would cause infections for women, but were very useful for support for men. Nowadays, with modern hygiene, both men and women can wear them if they choose.
OK, so I stumbled here whle looking for retailers of thongs and g-strings. I’ve been wearnig g’s for about a year now. I too was apprehensive but they have now taken over my underwear draw. Very comfortable.
My daughter recently saw them in the laundry and said, “See, I told you they were comfortable.”
I have recently started wearing strings to the beach and let me tell you, my wife LOVES the tan lines. A little uncomfortable at first but I figured that I didn’t have to go home with any of the other people at the beach, right?
It’s funny how the comments on this thread changed from “Ewww” to “Hey, not so bad. If it works for you…” I really feel that if women stop and think about it they would actually like their men in strings. Our society (I live in Florida, US) is so programmed against anything like that.
BTW, I am 37 years old. I buy underwear from International Male and Wicked Temptations and swimwear from Skinz.
i’m 46 i’ve been shaving my cahonna’s and penis for 15 years i hate body hair,about the thongs,love’em i also like the mens bikini underwear,but what age should men stop shaving and wearing thongs and bikini underwear.
Wes,
The answer to your question is “When you get tired of maintaining.” Plain and simple. As long as you are willing to take care of your body (workout), shave/wax and just generally keep it looking good, then wear em till ya die.
Just got two more pair from Macy’s. One is 2xst and one is CK. These are awesome. Best underware in the drawer!
God I wish people were more openminded, here in Sweden, so I didn’t feel emberessed wearing thong on the beach. Always that laughing and/or “..what a jerk..”.
Somehow I believe that this is jelousy. In psychology, I think this is called projection.
Always swim and tan in a thong. I used thong at Centralbadet in Stockholm.
I’m straight.
Hey Frank,
I figure, screw it, I don’t have to sleep with the folks muttering under their breath. I like a good thong on the beach for tanning and because it dries so quick. Swim trinks take so frickin long to dry they get wet and clammy.
Besides, my lady digs it so screw em.
what do we stereotype someone by wearing some piece of clothig that is not commom? have you ever stop thinking out the box?
besides all the must do and dont we are getting cut off on it. the result is making ourself boring
thong is just another type of underwear, it’s fine for men to wear as long as they feel ok to wear them; some gay don’t even like wearing thong, they only wear boxer and brief, does that mean all those people wear only boxer & brief are gay too, haha…come on, they r just plain jealous, outdated thinking, boring type of people who don’t dare to wear thong as underwear….
for girls who say men should nvr wear thong? thong originated from male long time ago…..
In my oppinion people should wear what underwear they want and what they are comfortable in i mean me and my boyfriend boath wear thongs and our girlfriends dont say anything negative about usthey just accsept us for who we are thats why were friends.
also thongs make me feel individual an not like everyone else who wear boxers and breefs
so guys shouldn’t wear thongs what about shaving im 46 and i’ve been shaving since that crap started growing,and bikini underwear,what about women in boxers.
i’m 23 and a straight male…i’ve been wearing thongs since I was in 10th. they fit great and feel amazing…every man should own them. they also make you look larger! :)
I wear thongs regularly when I want to feel sexy, and my partner loves me wearing them. I dont see why so many females have such strong opinions, as women are free to wear what they like, and men deserve to feel sexy too. I actually find that most women, once they actually see their guy in them, actually find them sexy too. Just my thoughts.
Wow, still going. I don’t see a lot of responses from women. Interesting to find that the guys are more open minded and willing to express. Who said guys were repressed!
yeah, what happened to the women involved in this
No. No we should not.
Checking in after a year! Never thought to be a trend setter! How about that!
I personally wear a thong, why shouldnt men wear one if women can wear one. its sexy and it has a great support for the male region. i personally will buy a couple of more thongs and i like the way they are for men.
thongs for men – NO NO
thongs for women – Super SEXY!
well then chumpman thongs are for men and i love the feeling of ladies looking at my ass and they make me feel so sexy especially it flashing when not noticing it. its so sexy and eventually all men are going to wear this.
I started wearing thongs about five years ago. My wife came home with a pair from her bridal shower and like most closed minded males my response was I am not wearing that! But wouldn’t you know it, I decided to wear them one night and wow. They offer great support and nothing more. I got brave and started wearing them to work. I work in construction and noticed on those hot summer days I no longer have my underwear binding up and sticking to my body constricting movement. I also noticed I don’t have to peel my balls of the inside of my thigh anymore. Thongs are great and more functional for a man, then they are for a woman
I have been wearing g-strings over 5 years now I wish i had done before. It started when my wife said if i like her wearing g-strings panties i should wear them too we where on holidays and she packed her white G-string panties and left my undies home. luckly my wife is the same size so it dosen’t matter if they get mixed up . That how it got started. We even swim in them they are great for having sex you dont have to take them off, I even put a baby in her while wearing G-strings panties. Now with a 5 month bump still wearing them on the beach except she had to get the low cut G-strings to fit better under her bump and the even fit me. I have seen other couples wearing them on the beach, So i dont se anything wrong with wearing G-string panties
I’ve been wearing thongs since I was about 19, now I’m 42 and I have to tell you, If you’ve never tried then maybe you should.If you get the right make and the higher quality of thong they are much comfortable then the cheap ones. I own about 7 pairs of them myself and the best name brand I found is either Jockey or Jocko.I like wearing thongs myself and I’m a 42 year old straight guy and I like seeing a women in a thongs.
im straight ive been thinking about wearing them but,i feel that girls might be trun off by them
I am a straight male ,and i regularly like to wear thong swimwear to the sauna. I do this because i think i have a very nice pert cheeky little bum, and i like to show it off. I shave off all of my pubic hair to make sure that nothing is going to be poking out the sides. I find that most of the women that come into the sauna are very pleased to see a man in a thong ,and i get a lot more attention than what i would if i was wearing shorts. Wearing a thong makes my bulge look very big, while also allowing me to show off my bum. Also after wearing a thong in the sauna i am able to acheive a massive orgasm. Long may i continue to wear thongs to the sauna.
I bought a cheap 5 pack of women’s thongs from wilkinson [i went rather late so it was quieter and so less people would be there], i am a straight male and i am not the best looking person in the world nor do i have the best figure either, so i tried them and i liked them and i have been wearing them ever since, my point is that they make me feel good and thats all that matters to me.
They look like these ones but not in this colour [in black]:

I love the feel of them between my cheeks and the part on top of my crack, lol.
I think men should wear thongs and panties. they’re alot more comfoterable than boxers. plus they give better support to the balls and dick

Just found this thread, looking for thongs on the net. Hi everyone, if you’re still here. :-)
I om just over 40. I have all kinds of thongs and g-strings at my drawer for long time now. But only recently I started wearing them on a regular basis. My rear is sensitive and I like the feeling of the string, I feel really sexy, like I am being gripped, or owned. I used to wear them only for special occasions, like when going out, when I wanted to feel sexy and vulnerable. My spouse really likes them. She says that I look sexy and exposed for her, and this turns us both on.
I have thongs from Victoria Secret, HOM, Unico, Go Underwear, Pulse and others. Each has its own feeling, its own way it touches my body, it is something I take with me through the day, often, makes me smile and “high”. When I go to restroom I look at them, touch the material, move it a little bit and go on. The favorite ones are those that are low-rise, with a thin and tight string. I also have some semi-sheer.
At first I felt embarrassed and guilty about my new habit but now I am proud of it. I think that I opened myself and I am totally true to myself. I wear pants and long trousers from thin material, I often wonder if people can see the underwear lines through; and it makes me feel exposed and excited.
Often I shave completely, front and rear, and so the cloth is closer to the sensitive skin which makes me feel even more sexy and tender. I didn’t go to the beach with thongs, yet, but this is definitely something I would like to try.
I think both women and men look very sexy in thongs. Any one feeling good with it, go for it, feel good about yourself and about your body and about your sexuality.

SORRY I HAD TO MAKE SOME REVISIONS MY BAD
Hi everyone!
I’m a straight male, 38, married with two kids. I’ve worn thongs and g-strings since I was 17, and worn them 24/7 as underwear since about 25. I wear them to the beach as well, and in my pool at home. I’m shaved neck to toe, because it feels brilliant!
I progressed into them when I first seen them on women, becoming the fashion in the mid-eighties. I’d always loved wearing skimpy bikinis as a kid – the smaller the better. So when I saw my first one on the local beach, I had to have one too, and have worn them ever since.
I must admit I had some very apprehensive moments before showing myself sometimes, but now I wear them where ever I can. If it’s not appropriate, them I wear a rio style bikini (only around 5% of the time).
My wife wears thongs and g-strings as underwear 100% of the time, but doesn’t wear a thong at the beach anymore because of body image after the kids – that may change soon enough! She looks awesome in them I think!
Anyone thinking about it, go for it! They are the best! If they are uncomfortable, they’re probably the wrong size or style for you. I also find the smaller the better usually, especially in the strap area.
Enjoy your thongs and g’s, and get to the beach in them! The only way to be confident and accepted, is to do it!
im 43 years old male, pretty good shape due to my physical job.
started wearing tanga briefs in the late eighties because boxers would get sweaty and cling to the legs e.t.c. very annoying (and sore!) when you are climbing telegraph poles.
at the time tanga briefs were worn by women as a rule(the ones i had were from british home stores and were made for men). and when i would get changed in the locker room after work, some of the guys would make comments and wolf whistle e.t.c. i simply explained the reason for me wearing them and sure enough, pretty soon i was being asked where i bought them.
i know that with us guys sometimes when we see something we would likely want to have for ourselves but are unsure of how our other male friends would react we tend to scoff at it when they are around as a sort of defense, a reassurance to them that you would not be seen with one of those things(though secretly we would love to try!) we are our own worst enemies.
that said due to the discomfort of my then fashionable boxers, and dislike of yfronts, i tried the tangas. soon after on a visit to replace the worn out tangas i noticed that they started to sell mens thongs also. i bought one to try.
this was 1991.
since then i have worn them regularly , alternating with tangas.
what i am getting at is that when i started to wear tangas, they were not at the time regularly worn by men but are now totally accepted as male or female underwear. same goes for thongs . we are almost there, the more men that want to wear a thong and just go out and do it, the more quickly it will be accepted.
Hey im Russell 19 and just bought a pack of joe boxer thongs and am still getting use to them. I would love to go out in public but am embarassed. I also want to lay out and tan in them but theres a school nearby and my family might see me! And what type of underwear can give me good support in front like a thong but cover my butt in back?
I was just chatting with my friend about this today at Outback steak house. Don’t know how in the world we got on the topic actually , they brought it up. I do remember eating a excellent fruit salad with cranberries on it. I digress…
Interesting insight, amazed I never thought of that by myself
For spring 2010, the jeans will be “treated in clean, translucent washes and enriched surface treatments in shades of white, ozone, and cloud.” This sounds suspiciously like ’80s acid wash.
I am an American guy in the south. 54 years old but in tip top shape. I have always worn unconventional underwear. I always preffered bikini underwear and speedos but very self conscious about it. However my preference for how it felt and how I felt wearing that preceded my embarasement at pools or gym dressing rooms etc. I wore my first thong 20 or so years ago and at first was so thrilled by the whole feel of it. All the reasons given before are ones I agree with, but on top of that it just made me feel special or sexy .. powerful manly not feminine at all. There was just something about it. However I only wore one occaisionally and never got used to the string up my ass feel all the time. However I was so inclined to get used to it and pardon the graphic description… you have to get it all the up so it pulls right up into the deepest crack because if it is not … it does feel like a wedggie. After i got over that it is really the ONLY thing to wear and I would not wear another thing.Now I have a huge collection of them and it is a private almost compulsive pleasure. I just like them and how they make me feel and look. Think of me what you like and really whose business is it what kind of underwear a man wears?
