mid-60s gay man from Alberta Canada. Been wearing thongs as underwear for a long time and now more and more as swimwear. I was happily married (until my orientation ‘came out’) and have two terrific adult daughters. Still in loving contact with my former wife, and now in a relationship with a great guy. We travel lots and I have many opportunities to wear swim thongs to beaches and pools. My partner enjoys fun swimwear, and is very encouraging about my apparel choices (including thongs, and various spandex looks for fitness and fashion) but is not fully into thongs.
