Random Fact about Me #1

I HATE thongs, of both the shoe and the underwear ilk. I don't like little straps of leather riding between my toes, and I don't like little straps of fabric riding up my ass. Men defend the thong to me as sexy, and women defend it as the best way to avoid panty lines. Wrong: the best way to avoid panty lines is to forego panties.

LOL I agree with you 100% Butt floss is no fun. I wonder if those women who say g-strings are the solution to pantylines think of that. duh

As for the men who think it's so sexy, let them wear it. still rotflmao

I'm with you up until there, Mellowlee.... I hope NEVER to see a man in a thong, myself.

I agree with you 100%, Bored D. If you don't want panty lines, then just don't wear any underwear. I almost never do (I'm not saying that to be provocative, but just because we're sharing, here) I also can't stand thongs (the underwear AND the shoes) because the shoes are just too flimsy and crappy looking and the underwear, well, it goes up your fucking ass! Why the hell would you want underwear that purposefully is designed to go up your ass! It's uncomfortable! I don't understand how people can wear those things.

I still remember when I realized underwear was optional: what a great moment! I hardly ever wear underwear either, simply because life is easier without it.

Everyone knows that wedgies are uncomfortable. So why do women go out and buy underwear designed to give them a permanent wedgie?

The post on pronouncing Chinese mentions the vocabulary differences between the US and the UK and this is one of those areas where I had to learn a new vocabulary. "Pants" here refers to underpants; "knickers" to women's underpants. Trousers are the long-legged things I wear as an outer layer.

Underwear is not optional for me. When I was a kid, I used to like to "go commando," as Bart Simpson put it, but as I got a bit older I realized that walking for a few hours without support could be a distinctly unpleasant experience. For whatever quirks of evolution, men wear their reproductive organs on the outside of the body where they do not have the support or protection of muscle and tissue.

For this reason, I'm also not a "boxers" guy. Why add one more layer of fabric that also fails to provide support? But when I needed to shop for new "pants," I did not know how to ask for "briefs" here. A "breif" here is something like an assignment, as in "I'm not going to go buy your coffee because it's not in my brief." The only solution was to go to M&S -- well regarded for their excellent men's underwear -- and wade through the 57 varieties until I could find what I craved.

I think that boxers (icch) and "Y-fronts" (aslo icch, in my opinion, because I like wearing underwear but not that much of it) must be the most popular but I did find a pack of "slips" at 5 for £5 that brought a broad smile to my face. Good support, no riding up the crack, and no peaking over the waistband of my trousers: I was a happy boy.

As for women's underwear, I guess I can see why someone would think a thong was sexy but I think that underwear just can't be a sexy as, for example, a footrub with a glass of wine.
