Gross. There's nothing sexy about that.

ghporter · Jun 5, 2007, 04:36 PM

Hmmmmmm Nope, doesn't do anything for me.

Sherman Homan · Jun 5, 2007, 04:38 PM

The red ones are a little bit alarming...

Looks unfortable and pointless

Wow, look how close the B key is to the P key.

Big Mac · Jun 5, 2007, 07:49 PM

I think at that point it's time for the chick just to go bottomless.

Ghoser777 · Jun 5, 2007, 08:05 PM

Oh... visible panty line! I hate when that happens.

andi*pandi · Jun 5, 2007, 08:13 PM

yes, because wires in our bras aren't enough.

that looks uncomfortable and pointless.

shifuimam · Jun 5, 2007, 08:46 PM

That's retarded.

Do any of you males here realize that thongs were invented by a chauvinist idiot? I'm not a feminist by any means, but seriously. Only a man would invent a piece of underwear that shoves a tiny string up your butt, promotes urinary tract infections, and costs more than regular old briefs or bikini briefs - for the sole purpose of looking extra sexy to the man.

And ditto to what andi*pandi said. Putting little wires under one's boobies is bad enough without shoving a wire into one's ass crack. I once went into a Victoria's Secret asking for a wireless bra. She told me such a bra didn't really exist anymore. I bet in ten years they'll be saying the same thing about underwear. o.O

Ghoser777 · Jun 5, 2007, 08:52 PM

this is why my motto is: underwear - optional

I don't know. I used to date a girl who had an account at Agent Provocateur (nsfw). She was a lingerie fiend. Of course, during the day she'd wear something comfortable, but for, ahem, special occasions she'd dress up. And she was about as ballsy a woman as you could find.

I like the way you said that. Classy.

Sherman Homan · Jun 5, 2007, 10:10 PM

shifuimam, we love you, you know we do, but ya gotta admit we are all slaves to the whole plan. Ever seen the Gillette commercials? The ones where the woman is all about the guy's clean shaven face? Men may have invented the wired bra (?) but women invented shaving the guy's face: Sampson. And don't even start about ties. Women just wanted a kind of leash, and men complied...!

IceEnclosure · Jun 5, 2007, 10:25 PM

But yeah, I thought somebody might pick up on that UK-ism. But by then I was too lazy to edit it.

I bought my wife a couple of cotton thongs when we got married. She had never worn one before then.

It's been almost 15 years, now, and all she'll wear is thongs. She wouldn't wear anything else if I asked her nicely. I thought this was an unbelievable stroke of luck, or just not possible and that she'd eventually stop. But it just goes to show you there's a bell curve and not everyone is in the middle.

KeriVit · Jun 5, 2007, 11:25 PM

so how come the wire isn't visible? As opposed to panty line.

^^^ My exact same experience. Except it's 10 years instead of 15.

natnabour · Jun 6, 2007, 12:18 AM

it just looks like a very large and stable pantyliner *shudder*

I like g-strings to be honest. If they're really up your ass, and you're getting urinary tract infections, then they're just too tight. A good alternate for a wireless bra is wearing camis that have the bras lined with them. Comfy and practical - except in cold weather.

Graviton · Jun 6, 2007, 02:34 AM

Looks like a dyed minge

Super Mario · 03:27 PM

If a gal took off her clothes and revealed that I'd just laugh at how stupid and gullible she is and leave the room and go find a new galpal.

We know that. But if Jessica Alba stripped in front of you and was wearing one of those, you'd dump her right there? No, I don't think so.

I have to think of an answer to that.........

Yeah!

How many Jessica Albas are there?

A thong at all is too tight. I've tried them - I spent the day grabbing at my butt trying to remove The Wedgie That Could(tm).

As far as bras go, the Victoria's Secret chick was an idiot. If you go anywhere else - department stores, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. - there is a wide selection of wireless bras that still look nice and provide enough support to keep me from looking like a prepubescent ten-year-old. In fact, VS recently released a wireless IPEX bra, and they're making a big deal out of it, like they invented the concept.

You're a lucky man, I guess. If my boyfriend ever asked me to wear a particular piece of underwear, I'd say "sure, but only if you wear one, too". If he wants me to wear a thong or a g-string, he'd sure as **** wear one himself.

Yes, but women have to shave their legs, so at least there's a trade-off there. With uncomfortable lingerie, the only person *really* benefiting from it is the guy. I'd imagine that if you started growing facial hair, *you'd* grow sick of having to keep it tidy and free of crumbs when eating Oreos at work.

<edit> Plus, as far as liking a clean-shaven face goes, ask your girlfriend to strap some fine-grit sandpaper to her face the next time you want to make out. Then you can see how stubble feels to us.

Like men, it depends on your hair growth rate. And how smooth you want to be. In the summer, you more or less have to do it every day to keep looking nice. At least, I do. Otherwise I have little black dots all over my legs. It looks like a tick invasion or something.

SO, can you answer the question then?

Ah, I'll fill you in then. One on the pink, one in the stink.

Dakarʒ · Jun 6, 2007, 12:30 PM

I prefer two in the pink.

UNTeMac · Jun 6, 2007, 05:57 PM

Nearly all the women my age that I know (20's) prefer thongs over just about any other type. They say it's more comfortable and makes them feel a little sexier than usual plus the original intention of no pantylines.

I think if you find some that fit properly, it's probably just a matter of preference. As for that thing that started this thread? Erm no. There is such a thing as underwear that's too small.

shifuimam, nothing personal, but you don't sound like you'd be much fun as a girlfriend.

Doofy · Jun 6, 2007, 06:03 PM

BTW, UNTeMac... ...the positioning of that treble clef on your sig makes it look like you've been having problems with your eMac and have resorted to swearing at it.

See, I don't actually wear skin-tight skirts or pants. If I do wear a skirt that might reveal that OH MY GOD I ACTUALLY WEAR UNDERWEAR, it's really no skin off my nose. I look at panty lines the way I look at tampons - I feel no need to conceal from the world that I use either. I never understood girls in college who freaked out if a guy saw them carrying a tampon to the bathroom. It's not like they don't know what periods are.

I think if you find some that fit properly, it's probably just a matter of preference. As for that thing that started this thread? Erm no. There is such a thing as underwear that's too small.

If I ever actually *want* to wear a thong, I'll get right on that. In the meantime, I like what I wear.

shifuimam, nothing personal, but you don't sound like you'd be much fun as a girlfriend.

Hey, I do have undies in a variety of colors and patterns. Same goes for bras. And socks. Does that count?

I suppose if "fun" in a relationship is defined by sexual/kinky/horny fun, then no, I'd be boring compared to a lot of girls my age. But if "fun" is defined by other things, like going out, playing games together, going on vacations together, etc, I think I've got it covered.

We could talk about my sex life, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point of the thread.

Only if you associate the word with females (through some kind of misogyny) rather than see it as a general, more heavy duty replacement for "tosser".

It's not like people don't know what a sneeze is either, but I don't flash my hanky around after a good blow.
