It is 78 degrees where I live today and almost no clouds in the sky.
I was gonna take a drive to the beach, but due to a conference call going way over, I didn’t have the time. So my wife was out reading on our new patio overlooking the river and she said “I know you are dying to lie out here, just go ahead and do it - the neighbors can’t see up here”
How cool is my wife? She then told me I looked “hot”.
As I was sunning myself, she brought up to me that the two times I have recently brought her coffee in bed and danced for her in a thong (her birthday, Mother’s Day) she told her girlfriends all about it. I guess her friends asked lots of questions about the thong, (where did I get it, what color is it, how does it look on me) but were also impressed by my confidence to wear one.
So contrary to what we are reading online (about women disapproving of men wearing thongs) perhaps more women than we think actually do like seeing a man in a thong?
Now that is warm or should I say hot out. My wife and I grill/cook out on our patio pool area most evenings. I’m always in a thong, her sometimes, she is very supportive as we also wear them to the beach. And yes occasionally the neighbors see us she doesn’t care, just wants us to be happy, who cares about what anyone else thinks. As she says if women can wear them then men can too.
My wife fully supports my thong swimwear preference and likes to point out when others glance/stare, especially other females. Becuase of our jobs we can’t roll into the local pool in a thong (I’m wearing here down I think) but she does encourage the bikini/speedo there. For now the thongs are for the beach and travel. I don’t think the number of women who dislike thongs is as high as we think. I just don’t think most will admit it publicly or to friends due to social norms surrounding men wearing thongs.
I agree with you completely. Most American women have been conditioned to publicly not like thongs or Speedo’s on men. However, in private - I think more American women than we think do like them on your typical male.
Between college and today, I don’t ever recall hooking up with a woman who upon seeing my thong reacted negatively and said that it was a deal breaker. In fact, when flirting with someone new, I dropped hints that I preferred what I called “metro-sexual underwear” which often made them that more curious.
That’s awesome! I wear thongs everyday. My wife has been very supportive of me wearing them over the last couple of years. Every time she see’s me in one she always compliments on how much she loves seeing my butt in a thong. It’s even got to the point where I can talk to a couple of her girlfriends about thongs, I never bring it up to them, they always bring it up in conversation. They have told me they love that I have the confidence to wear a thong and; With my wife’s permission i have elven shown them a few pairs and they both said they think it is hot. I do agree that more women than not are fine with or do enjoy seeing men in thongs.
I think older women are more fine seeing men in thongs, vs. younger women. There is no “competition”, and they probably enjoy the view and applaud our confidence. If anything, they have a conversation piece to discuss with their friends after their visit to the beach. They probably have pictures of the men they see so they can prove what they saw.
As people get older, they care less about what other people think. I know I do when fearlessly wearing thongs and g-strings in public where it is legal to do so and when it is appropriate. I think older women like the excitement of seeing men in thongs, as if they are attending a strip club, but without the expense or possible embarrassment of going to a club with friends. This is not why I wear thongs at the beach, but I think some women may think this is why we wear thongs in public. For me, it’s just a minimal swimsuit to get a maximum tan. The feeling is free and exhilarating.
Older women definitely are more receptive to men in thongs. I think it speaks to your point that as we get older we care less about what people think. Therefore older women are less inclined to perpetuate the same old social norms and stereotypes about men in thongs. Most all of the compliments I’ve received while wearing a thong were from the 40 plus crowd. Men and women. Most of the giggling/snide comments from 30 and under.
