I’ve always had this… I don’t know how to describe it - excitement, exhilaration from underwear, swimsuits etc. Possibly a fetish but don’t really want to box it in like that.
The idea of shopping, trying out swimwear or underwear and looking at the shape, feel of it all was an event of itself. And going to the pool was an event I thoroughly looked forward too on top.
This was way before I was wearing thong swimsuits… At that point, just being in a thong was the height of contentment and this hard to describe sense of elation and sensuous joy.
But say around a few years before I finally managed to make the breakthrough and wear a swim thong, I noticed that I didn’t feel the drive or excitement anymore. Trying out suits or underwear had zero excitement, and looking at them in the mirror even less. That’s been how it is at the moment and being able to go to a pool or beach in a swimthong is just the base level. I thoroughly feel anything more than a thong, like a rio that’s 1/2 or 3/4 coverage would be just FOMO and pointless.
But at the same time just being in a thong is like the basic… but compounding that is the feel of apprehension of having to fight the establishment and downtroddenness that life has brought which makes it even less enjoyable.
Anyone else know what I’m talking about or going through something similar?
Here’s my position: they’re swimsuits. I wear them to swim and sun in. The pleasure is the beach experience: the warm sun, the cool water. I don’t have 500 or 100 or even 10. I don’t wear thongs to get a thrill or to show off, they’re just the right tool for the job.
I’ve been wearing thongs for many years both as underwear and swimwear. For me, there is something avant-garde about being a male thong wearing individual. I know when I walk on to a beach or into a pool I will be different. I find that exciting, not in a sexual way but I a way of being unique. My friends love my swim thongs. I know because they tell me so. Getting new thongs with new prints or designs is a thrill. I know the thill is not a powerfully as when I began. Back then there was so much anxiety I could hardly make onto a beach. Now it’s more about joy, pleasure and being true to myself. Like mush of my other clothing my swim thongs are an expression of my individuality.
Now when I wear a thong, I feel deeply comfortable and content. It just feels right, like I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing and living the life I want to live. Before, it was excitement, but excitement mixed with anxiety. These days it might be a little less “electric,” but it’s also way less nerve-wracking. On balance, I’ll take that trade.
So far, I’m always the only male in a swim thong and sometimes the only person. After becoming more and more comfortable wearing a thong in public I feel very relaxed and carefree and, it’s more often than not reciprocated by others. Not exciting per se but still very pleasurable.
In fact, the feeling of wearing a thong like it’s no big deal in a way is new excitement for me. I can go about sunning my self, ordering drink/apps at the poolside bar, and holding doors open for people all while wearing a thong is great.
Even so, perhaps my first time wearing a thong swimsuit in public is still the most memorable.
Wearing these suits are meant for me. Nowhere did I mention it being something I wear to “show off.” The excitement and joy I meant is nothing more than that. I’m not sure what you are reading into.
Yes exactly, the cuts, the styles and shape, material and even pattern. I mean if they were subdued after several years I would understand as it’s natural. But I’m not certain what it is.. if it’s other factors like stress and what not causing it or not.
Oh absolutely! That’s one thing I left out.. “I feel deeply comfortable and content. It just feels right, like I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing and living the life I want to live.”
I guess when we make wins we end to overlook them. I have felt a great accomplishment in finally being able to accept this is what I like and not feeling like I have to hide it or feel apprehensive about wearing it. Thank you for sharing that! Actually made my day and gives me perspective
I totally understand. I think I’m feeling dejected because I’d gotten to a point where I was completely open and free about wearing a thong and for me it was kind a liberating, and bittersweet, because it is a swimsuit, like anything else. And I was able to wear it anywhere and didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, which it should’ve been and was going out regularly to all pools.
It was only when I I was in this local pool, which i’d be going for nearly 3 years in a thong that a former lifeguard, made a fuss to call out the admin and then she said I wasn’t allowed to wear something “that was showing in the back.”
I vowed never to go back there, but then was happy to find other places which I checked with and said thongs were acceptable, but something shook my confidence and took a while to work myself back up… still didn’t feel like I was at the point I was when I first made my break through.
And now the pool that I used to goto is closed for renovation and no suitable options for the next while.
I think beyond whatever excitement and joy I had at shopping for or trying on suits, now I feel like whatever baseline normal has been taken away from me and I have to fend opposition, when before it was just apathy?
At first wearing a thong in public is exhilarating but after you do it, it loses its wow factor so I can relate however, sunbathing is exhilarating in and of itself so the thrill resides in the activity more so then the suit itself.
I go to the beach to relax and get sun. I do understand the feeling of it being more mundane than when I started but Ill make sure to be grateful every chance I get to.
It is exciting to shop for thongs or just to have a beach day in general, but the feeling of wearing one went from anxiety to comfort. My time on Earth is fleeting and my time to look decent and young is shorter, so I just enjoy it, and take as many pictures as I can…
