Okay, so how many among us have no qualms with disclosing - to anyone - your man-thong preference? Said another way, are you out of the closet when it comes to your preference for wearing thongs for men?
Or, is your girlfriend/boyfriend, wife/husband, significant other, life partner, or otherwise sex partner the only person(s) that know that you wear thong underwear?
Tell us!

My family knows, several of my friends know, lots of strangers know (since I'll wear them on the beach on vacation). I don't advertise it but I also wouldn't have any problem telling someone if they asked, saw me in them changing or saw them in my house (laundry basket, hanging to air dry) etc..

hello Thongornothing, i remember you from the other forum :)
now, my mum knows, she actuaslly bought some for me. i woldnt mind if any gay person saw it. dont know if id like to tell the rest of my family.
-
Yup, I've been in both forums! Plus a few others.
My brother found my first thong when I was like 15 or 16. I had it and another one hidden under my mattress. Then he told my parents and teased me afterwards for years. I hated the teasing but loved thongs so I kept wearing them. I never put them in my laundry though because I still wanted to keep the attention on my underwear choice as minimal as possible.
Having worn them now for...cough...2 decades...I don't really give a F if anyone sees or knows. They've been my normal underwear choice for more than half of my life so I don't consciously think about it.
I do shop frequently for them and am always buying underwear and swimwear. I honestly have no idea how many of each type that I have. Probably 200+ thongs and bikinis (if not possibly double) and 100+ swim briefs and swim thongs. Normally I'll buy multiple when I find great deals, which happens weekly on CheapUndies.com and regularly on N2NBodywear.com. Definitely have spent thousands on the collection over the years. I know I spent over $1000 just with Cocksox within 2 months time. I would honestly choke if I ever calculated it all, which is actually impossible to do thankfully!!!

I wouldn't exactly say I'm out of the closet - more like a "don't ask don't tell" policy. My girlfriend and a few friends know. I recently told a colleague from work. I never would have imagined telling a co-worker that I've known for 20 years. I wear thongs as every day underwear and as I get older I find that I just don't care that much if someone finds out. That said, I still treat the subject with discretion as I would any type of underwear. I mean, really, how often would the subject of your underwear, type of underwear or preference come up? Right? But, if caught, discovered or asked I don't mind saying what I'm wearing. I'm just careful - mostly due to politics. Wearing man-thongs simply will not help advance my career! LOL But, one of my aims (back when I started www.manthongreview.com) was to help change that. I feel that is happening - simply because some of us like to wear thongs - and fundamentally there isn't a thing wrong with that. I shouldn't be a big deal at all. Really. A girl can wear a guy's clothing - including underwear made for men and that's usually considered sexy. But, if a guy dons a thong - even a man-thong - it opens the door to a lot of strong opinion. Poppycock!

So true. This is the world we live in where women have total fashion freedom
Without judgement. I would love for several boundaries to fall!!
I'm 5'7" so I've always been shorter than most other guys. As a gay man, I love fashion and shoes, as does my husband. It'd be amazing to have the same ability as women to grow my height and wear heels. 4-5 extra inches plus some added fashion flair, win-win! But that will likely not be mainstream in the near future.
At least thongs are less taboo than they once were. They're still viewed in a sexual light but heels are regarded as wanting to crossdress.
I have ZERO desire to dress like a woman, wear lace panties or put on a dress to go in public. But I would love to rock my man thong in some skinny jeans and kick on some heels to boost me up to 5'11" or even 6'!

I"m between 5'7" and 5'8" and when younger I'd wear boots (Army boots at first, then Sketcher Boots) and that would boost me to around 5'9".
Yeah, I've never had a desire to wear women's clothing - but do enjoy dressing nice. I just like to!
-
Agreed!!

ye i agree with you both, thongs make me feel sexier therefore i want to look better and better :D but it could be just me.
-
Thongs encourage me to stay in shape.
-
ye, my shape is more a balloon haha no, but my butt looks great in them :d (i have a pretty big butt)
-
It is well known with family and friends. I never was hiding it with one exception. I had a relationship for about 15 year with an Italian lady. She was against all forms of skimpy suits on men. But my current wife likes it. I'm in thongs and strings at the beaches as long as it is legal. Being from Holland, we never made an issue of what you are wearing as long as it is not obscene.
-
My friends and family don't know. I am just very shy and I don't really talk about my underwear with my family and friends. Maybe, I am still in the closet, but I prefer it this way. I don't let my friends know because I don't want any gossiping behind my back, and I don't tell my parents because they're conservative and they think thongs are tawdry and indecent.
I am an exhibitionist, and I have no problem sporting a thong in public. However, I just don't share my hobby and my interest with my friends and family.
-
My wife loves me in them and wear them exclusively
-
I don't brag , however not afraid too change in a gym, doctors office, or anywhere. Especially now a days on what people wear , it's all a personal choice and I enjoy my thongs

Yeah same. I try to be cautious when I'm around friends, but when I am with strangers, I don't really care if my thong shows. In fact, when I am slightly kinky, I let my thong show above my trousers.
-
I am with a few close friends and my gf but otherwise no. My family would not be receptive and most of my co-workers would tease mercilessly. I have a few close friends that know as last summer we were having a hot tub and I had my Joe Snyder thong on under my boards but was getting hot and I was not comfy so I pulled off the board shorts. My friends laughed in good fun and asked if my panties were comfy. We had a discussion they said do what makes you happy. I thong tub all the time now with company or not. That's as close to out of the closet I've come. Oh and now my coworker who is on holidays with us has seen me in my thong yesterday he won't say anything but was a little shocked!!!

Yeah, I think that's a great way to come out of the closet. Have boardshorts on just in case, but then take them off when you think it's okay to reveal your thong. I definitely wouldn't do that in front of my coworkers- they're just way older than me and I'm one of the youngest in my company. That being said, I don't know where and when I will be able to sport a thong in front of colleagues and friends. Those opportunities aren't always there.
-
The coworkers were women so way more receptive. The one was very squeamish so now it has become fun to tease her with it by standing up and walking around. She turns her head and says oh god a lot but it's all in good fun. It's helped knock down some anxiety. I work at a male dominated industrial company so they would not get it at all. I have joked about it sometimes just to test the waters but a total reveal will not happen. That said I still wear them all the time change at my locker and just put my butt back to it, a tip I learned on the site. Nobody has seen. It's nice to have a hot tub at home. It gets me outside thionging. I really like being outside. I will tan in the back yard this summer foe sure. Was not quite "there" yet last summer. I hope you can find somewhere like that :-)

The most interesting one to discuss it with was my wife when we first started dating. Both 20 at that time. I wasn't an every-day person at that point. I was a mix between thongs, bikini or nothing. If I remember right, I let her find it when we were in the thralls of passion one evening at her apartment. I had told her prior to that night, but she had never seen / felt me in one. Now 17 years later, I am an every day person. Have been since before my son was born. Hell, I got married in one. She didn't.
My best friend has knows for longer than the wife. Told him soon after high school. At the gym, playing racquet ball. We were changing and it didn't even cross my mind that I was in a thong. I have since got him to try. Bought him a nice, what I thought comfortable one, for his birthday once. As a joke and as a serious thing. Told me he wore it, showed me the tail one night when we and our now wives were all out together. Never took with him.
Really? That is it. People at the gym know because I am not at all shy in the locker room. But I do not know them so therefore it doesn't matter.

@Thebuddhist - Great story! This reminds me of how I'd communicate my thong wearing practice to past partners of mine. In the beginning I wasn't a full time thonger either - it was just something I did once in a while. So, I suppose, because of that my past girlfriends wouldn't know until sometime after the relationship had already started. I recall one night deciding it was time to tell one of these past girlfriends about my thong underwear. So, before we had our date night I put on one of my string thongs under my jeans. I'll never forget the surprise on her face when I took off my pants! She crawled up to me on all fours looking me straight in the eye with a rather engaging look - as she got closer she said, "What? Is that?!?!!" That was the best!
As I got older I made more of a point of bringing up this little fact about me much earlier to get it out of the way and keep it simple. I mean, if a guy wearing thong underwear made for men is a deal breaker then it's best to get that out of the way as soon as possible. But, I never met a woman that outright put an end to our dating over my underwear choice. (I can't say I ever understood this, but it was always the gambling, drinking, smoking and womanizing that put an end to my past relationships - but, it was never because I wore thong underwear - okay, that's a joke. haha)
I have told one or two colleagues of mine - but they probably thought I was cracking an odd joke. Interestingly, one of my colleagues, who I hadn't disclosed this information to, came out as a cross dresser to his entire family and co-workers. I knew him from work - going back 20 years. That seriously blew my mind - so then I told him I loved wearing man-thongs. Interestingly, thongs of any type aren't his thing.
Who would have thought?
-
Society / culture here in the United States is really messed up. Sure it is in other parts of the world as well, but here is a bit much. I am the Quality Manager for a machine shop. I am the only man in the place that has ear piercing. 2 in each ear as well. I was looked at sideways for a long time after people found out my nipples and my naval are pierced as well. I do not even want to consider what would happen if my co-workers knew about the thongs and my genital piercings.
Sooner a later I will need to explain it to my 5 year old son. I try not to let him see me in my thong. Sooner a later he will ask (as will my 2 year old daughter) cross that bridge when the time comes
-
Sad I know, I have my nipples pierced and I wear shirts that show sometimes. And I couldn't care who sees, Now for piercings below the belt. Hot and sexy. Big turn on for me. Be proud. I would love too get a PA

At first, I was very secretive about my thong choice. I started wearing thongs as a teenager and was petrified of my high school friends finding out. I didn't stop caring until I started wearing thongs daily. Now, my parents, many of my friends, and a few co-workers know I wear thongs. I definitely don't brag about them, and I try to not let thong slips happen (although they occasionally still do).
-
I think it's a matter of where your confidence comes from, and being in shape does help your confidence. I'm a big guy who wears thongs, and I think I would surprise a lot of my friends if they were to find out about my thongs. They just cannot imagine a big guy like me wearing a thong. Also, if there is someone who is supportive of your thonging, you can feel confident too.

I'm also a bigger guy but just got back into wearing thongs. So far I've only wore them to the gym but man I forgot how comfortable they are.

Gotta keep wearing them in order to get used to them. Oh yes, they are comfortable.
-
Yeah I've worn them all day today and finally getting used to it again. I need to order me more though. I only ordered me a 4 pack just to make sure I was going to like them.

Well, you're gonna have to go through trial and error and find out which style suits you. Or just have a variety of thongs. I have my comfy cotton thongs that I wear to the gym, and I have my sheer not-so-comfortable g-strings that I wear for fun.
Anyway, it's a good thing that you're getting used to thongs. Keep wearing

I got a 4 pack of Mass21 and they're cotton. They're supper comfortable! I would recommend them. I'm actually gonna order some more today but a different style. Love how they fit.

My BFF has known for as long as we've been friends (he actually introduced me to thongs!) and my wife obviously knows but she isn't really a fan of them. I sleep in them and sometimes wear them on a daily basis so she's gotten use to finding them in the laundry basket. ;)
-
I finally told my wife that in had ordered thongs and had been wearing them. She did laugh at first because I brought it up ournof left field lol. But she's totally fine with it and was a huge stress reliever to tel her.
-
I am out of the closet, but I am still private about my underwear. I can undress when I am in the locker room and I can sport a thong in public. But, I haven't told my friends and family about my underwear preference, and I'm still very cautious around them. I wear my pants tight and I usually sit at the back when I am around friends and family. I know it's just underwear and they're not going to see what I have under my pants, but I am still very careful around them.
-
Apart from my girlfriend, who wears thongs as I do, only some close friends know. With some, the subject of underwear came up and I disclosed my preference. With a couple of these, I felt free enough to wear a thong swimsuit when I went to the beach with them. But I know many other friends wouldn't understand.
Among the people who saw me thonging, I guess I could include a couple of acquaintances who went to the same beach and saw me wearing a thong swimsuit. And some men who were in the gym locker room while I was changing and was using thong underwear.
None in my family knows. My parents don't like thongs on men, and many other relatives of mine (even the younger ones) don't seem to me to be so open minded.
-
@a_lex, that sounds familiar. I had a relationship with an Italian, born in Palermo. She was wearing quite skimpy bikinis but she hated thongs and strings on men. I had to do my thonging in secret.
My wife now is 2nd generation Italian in the USA and she likes thongs on me, even in public.

@beachlion, indeed. A former girlfriend of mine didn't like my thong underwear and even said that she would leave me if I wore thongs at the beach. My current girlfriend instead really likes the fact that I use thong underwear and swimwear; we thong together.
In Italy thongs are commonly accepted as female underwear and swimwear, by men and women. Usage of thongs by men is not perceived as common, but I think it's much more tolerated than other countries. Many, many italian men wear speedos at the beach.
-
Hey Alex, it's good to know that your current gf is supportive and accepting of your thonging. And your past girlfriend was kinda harsh, saying that she would leave you if you wore a thong outside. I would be mad if someone said that to me. How did you keep up with her?
Anyway, I hope you keep thonging.
-
I guess I'm half out of the closet, a couple friends know that I wear them as do I know they wear them as well. With family, I haven't been pretty much out in the open with it, both of my parents have seen my thongs and their reactions were less than favorable. But that doesn't stop me from thonging it daily really. Heh, it's gotten to the point that even regular briefs or such feel "weird" to me now.

Haha, don't worry, right now nothing could stop my thonging. That former girlfriend of mine was really harsh. I didn't left her because of my underwear preference of course, but her attitude was a major factor.
I'm lucky to have found my current gf. She's one of the few women who loves seeing thongs on men and not just women. She was and still is very encouraging.

Hey Rocky. Glad to know that you're trying to get out of the closet. Convincing your family is going to be hard. My parents have seen my thongs too, but they still think that I wear boxers mostly. I'm seeing my parents this summer, and I don't know if I should take some thongs with me. Maybe it's better to stay safe.

I've always kept a pair of briefs in my backpack along with a backup thong, and it's not the first time that I've slipped them on over my thong when I'm near my parents, or relatives. Those couple times my parents actually saw the thongs, they told me to throw them away and such, so I made them think I did, but just kept them hidden ever since, was kind of my fault for leaving them laying around, but honestly didn't know they'd drop by unexpectedly.
Actually, a couple of my younger cousins had unintentionally seen me in a thong before, though this was because they had pantsed me as some joke, they asked what I was wearing, and quickly just made up something and told them that it was related to Gym class, and luckily they bought it and thought nothing of it, lol, dodged another bullet there.
-
I wouldn't say im fully open about my thonging, but getting there. I wear swim thongs primarily on my own, want to be more comfortable in them. Also need to care less if family and friends know, but it's hard
-
My family members know that I am wearing a thong, the first time they knew it when I do the laundry and they have seen it in the clothesline. They ask me if I am wearing it and the reaction is weird. hahaha

And they're okay with you wearing thongs?

my mum only knows.. and maybe two of my friends.

Went to the gym earlier this week with my BFF during lunch. He was wearing a jock under his jeans and then didn't have anything clean to wear after hitting the shower. Being the good friend that I am, I offered one of my spare pair of undies that I keep stashed away in my gear bag. I assumed I had something other than a thong but that was not the case and my friend still took me up on the offer. Friends that wear thongs together, stay together. ;D
-
My ex and one other friend knows.
Personally, I don't mind if any of my friend or family end up knowing, but I won't walk around and shout it out.
After all, it is a personal choice and they are just underwear.
-
it is underwear but to me its exciting to know if anyone else is wearing it. its just me :D hehe
-
I've been wearing thongs for about 18 years, and it wasn't until recently that I decided to quit caring about the opinions of others and the "stigma" of men wearing thongs. I wear them because I like them and I don't owe any explanation past that. With that said, my past three girlfriends loved them, and would buy them for me all the time. I love the confidence they give me, and I enjoy doing something that a lot of people don't like because I have a huge rebellious streak.
I have a family member as a roommate and I treat my thongs like I do my socks or tshirts; they usually end up on the floor until laundry day. I don't try to hide it and it has never been an issue. I know that he knows because his ex knew that I wore thongs and thought it was cool that I wore them as a straight guy, and she has told him many times about it. The only place I am careful about thongs is at work because I work with a lot of narrow-minded people, and Im not very good at controlling my temper when it comes to bullies. Its best to be careful rather than get fired I guess.

Hey man, I am really happy for you. It looks like you are getting some support from your family members and your close ones. And it's a good thing that you don't have to hide your thongs at home.
I also think it's best to play safe at work. You don't know these people that well and you don't know if you can trust them.
-
ye work is a place where you need to be careful. I'm the same, I don't care to wear them while I'm in college.
love your confidence, well done.

I don’t make a big deal of it but I don’t hide it either. It doesn’t bother me who knows.

Have you had anyone making a coment about your thong ?
