Why men wear lingerie?

Isn’t it a surprise for you that some men wear lingerie? If it is, I will claim that this fact is really true. A lot of men (and it is not necessary for them to be metrosexuals, just ordinary men) like women’s lingerie because of the style and design, but as similar types of lingerie are not specially made for men (with an exception of some Japanese lingerie companies but still this Japanese lingerie for men is not available in our country). That’s why our men have to purchase women’s lingerie. However, there are some lucky ones whose tastes in women’s lingerie are appreciated by their female partners and women eagerly help their husbands or boyfriends to buy some types of lingerie. But still a great number of males face disapproval, surprise and even disgust on the side of women. But you, dear females, should remember that this is a free choice and will that should be respected. So in order you understand that types of men, I’ll present you some reasons why men wear lingerie.

They Look Good in Lingerie.

First of all, they can do it in order to look good. And you can believe that some males look very handsome in lingerie. Take, for example, stockings: of course, they are designed for women. But have you seen stockings on long and lean men’s legs? This can be as sexy as on woman and even more attractive!

They Feel Good in Lingerie.

Of course, men wouldn’t wear lingerie, if it wasn’t for comfort and good feeling that women’s lingerie provides them with. It is a common knowledge that men value that comfortable state more than women. The crux of the matter is that the material from which women’s lingerie is fabricated is much more sensual and soft than the fabric for men’s underwear.

They Like Breaking A Taboo.

Breaking taboos is a great fun for everybody. Perhaps, every person in his life felt that tempting feeling to do something that is banned. Wearing women’s lingerie for men is the easiest way to break taboos of society as putting on panties and a bra is something considered to be wrong by many people.

The Best Way To Spice Up Your Sex Life.

One more reason why men wear lingerie is the belief that women’s lingerie can spice up your sex life. If a man wants to surprise his partner, he can put on her lingerie. A woman usually gets shocked to learn that her man enjoys wearing lingerie, but than most females start to like it too. Try it, probably, you will enjoy it too!

Minimalism in clothing habits today takes its extreme form, which verges on exhibitionism. The desire of modern society to expose oneself is nothing but a cultural fever, which has its signs and consequences. What is significant this fever concerns women and men equally.

So what are the signs of cloth minimalist fever:

1. We start with traditional THONGS, which is ‘classics’ of modern minimalist style. Even our grannies have already got used to these small lingerie pieces. There is a dozen of thongs styles available in every local lingerie store, which boggle the mind of an average customer with their ribbons, laces and ruffs.

Three most common designs of thons are:
- traditional thongs
- G-string
- V-string
- Dance belt

Have no idea what is the difference between these styles – read Wikipedia.

2. MALE THONGS are a topic in its own right. Despite an existing opinion that this underwear is for girls only, statistics says that it becomes more common among men as well. And if we remember that g-strings originally were the only garment of Japanese fundoshi 2000 years ago, we won’t be surprised by this fact (Read more in Thongs: 10 curious facts).

Although, the number of women wearing thongs is great deal outnumbers the men, the first step has been made. Men’s thongs are not associated with strip dancers and gays any longs.

Below are a few reasons why they do it:
- thongs prevent visible brief lines
- minimize tan lines
- give more support
- they are comfortable
- sexy
- they are not seen under trousers

3. You have always thought that it is impossible to create something more revealing than g-strings, look at the C-STRING (and it is not a computer term, it is lingerie)! It is a g-string, but without the band around the waist! It is held in place firmly by a flexible internal frame and in some cases also silicone lines at the both ends.

C-strings were created to eliminate any possibility of panty lines. But I wouldn’t be surprised if in the near future we’ll see them on the beach, as they can also minimizes tan lines.

Wanna one – go here to purchase.

4. Now let’s speak about swimwear. A good example of minimalist fever is a MICROKINI. It is a traditional bikini, but 20 times smaller. It looks like a bikini for a Barbie, so tiny it is! But if you know the history of this provocative swimwear, you would understand why it is so small and revealing.

Originally it was designed to cover as minimum skin as possible, just to comply with the laws banning nudity in public places. First microkinis were homemade swimsuits sewn by Venice Beach regulars in ‘70s who were banned to stay nude.

5. One more provocative bikini style is a SLING BIKINI, or SUSPENDER BIKINI. It is an extremely revealing and sexually provoking style of swimwear. It looks like big thongs, because its side straps are supposed to come up to cover breasts. Although this style won’t reduce tan lines, but it is sure to attract men’s attention to you on the beach. 

6. STRAPLESS BIKINI or a C-STRING bikini is the choice of daring girls who do not want any tan lines! Extremely explicit and revealing!

6. Last and least! MONOKINI does not only verge on nudity, but it is nudity itself. This swimwear style is used for topless bathing and consequently consists only of the bottom part of a bikini, which can be any design you like!

They burst in our life in the last decade of the previous century and very soon became the fastest-selling style of women underwear. Being extremely popular among large groups of young and middle-aged people (both men and women), THONG or G-STRING is still surrounded by many controversies.

Actually I think they can deservedly be called the most CONTROVERSIAL article of clothing. Let’s see what is so curious about thongs what makes people talk about them so much!

1. Despite the fact that we got aware of thongs or g-strings in 80s-90s only, they are probably the earliest form of clothing known to mankind!!! African tribal peoples and Japanese fundoshi wore thongs as their only garment as long as 2000 years ago.

2. In Western cultures thongs are primarily female underwear style. And although today more and more men start wearing thongs, women wearing thongs still heavily outnumber their boyfriends. But originally, by primitive peoples thongs were cut for the male anatomy!

3. Modern thongs have first appeared in Brazil and it is not accidentally because in Brazil the buttocks are especially admired and emphasized!

4. Minimalism is an explicit tendency of the 21st century and underwear of young people gets so small that it is difficult to imagine it can be something even smaller. Thongs and G-strings have received much criticism for its revealing and sexually provoking nature, but now there is something even more controversial!C-string is a thong without the band around the waist!It is held by a flexible internal frame. It was designed to help women eliminate all possible panty and tan lines! See at the picture on the right.

5. Pop culture welcomed thongs and their positive attitude is heard in their songs. Artists composing songs about thongs include Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Lil’ Kim. One song that popularized thongs was the “Thong Song” by Sisqó, released in 2000.

6. Some people think that thong is a too revealing and provoking undergarment for wearing it in the beach. Tat is why some countries and municipal governments in the United States have passed legislation forbidding G-string swimsuits in public! The University of California 4-H and Virginia FCCLA program specifically forbids “string, thong or crochet” swimsuits for women, while men are permitted in swim trunks only (no shorts, cut-off pants, or Speedos).

7. Besides, that is not a rare case, when thongs bring people to Court. In 1999 a Miami University (in Oxford, Ohio) professor was banned from using the school’s recreation center because he refused to stop wearing thong swimwear. The professor challenged the school in court. Read more

8. We all still remember Monica Lewinsky and her thong, that reportedly almost seduced President Clinton.

9.In 2002 thongs became the reason for a high school vice principal in San Diego being demoted to a teaching position.The lady physically checked up to 100 female students’ underwear to prevent them entering the school wearing thongs. Read more.

10. Manufacturers who produce child thongs are widely criticized by the public. The example can be a British retailer Argos who produced child-size thongs and padded bras for girls as young as nine and elicited a negative response from the public.
