Thongs aren't uncomfortable
As long as the pouch on the front isn't too constricting for my male bits and there isn't too much material and stitching in the seam underneath, I agree. Just like anything, gotta find the right fit.
The feet ones or the butt ones?
Butt ones as this isn't Australia, lol. It wasn't until I was older myself I realized that thong had a different meaning around the world. I remember as a kid taking trips to Australia people used to always call things "thongs" and thought anything of it. As a New Zealander they'll always be Jandals to me.
I'm a fat, unsexy dude, I bought a goofy leopard-print thong to get a laugh out of my ~~life~~ wife once
It's not my favorite pair of undies by a longshot, I still prefer my usual boxer-briefs, but it's certainly not uncomfortable. Even wore it to my city's naked bike ride to bike around in.
Yeah sure dude, you totally did it cuz it was funny.
Same here. There not my favourite but there not as bad as people make them out to be. I mostly wear them as men like them. I did a music video a few years back as a backup dancer and I woar one underneath some sweatpants. Maybe it's because I have histrionic personality disorder but I like to look sexy. Not like a hooker or a stripper but more in a seductive way like a belly dancer or a show girl.
Small typo in my comment, was supposed to say get a laugh out of my wife
It served its intended purpose. It was for Valentines or our anniversary or something, so I was waiting in the bed for her to come home in my leopard thong, rose petals scattered around, and some funky 70s porno music playing, and she cracked the fuck up.
I love this! That's kinda how it started for me and now I've got a whole collection of them. Fun patterns and colors. They always get the laugh.
Personally I've gone in on Hawaiian shirts, bit less good for a laugh, but still attention grabbing and easier to show off in public. No one wants to see my fat hairy ass sporting a whale tail.
ΒΏPor quΓ© no los dos?
Just the same, the confidence to wear it in public is what really matters whether you still do or not. When you don't give a shit, nothing can touch you. Total liberation. Except if there's kids around. That just feels creepy lol.
That's oddly sweet.
