Men's Thong Forum

I was 21 y.o. and I was student in a school engineer. It was in 1998.
I was interested by thong since a long time, but I had never bought one and never worn one.
I didn't know where to buy one.

One evening, I chatted with a gay buddy at his apartment and I explained him I would like to try to wear a thong.

He had a thong underwear in his wardrobe and he suggested that I tried it.
So, I tried it in front of him. He gave me a compliment and told me that I had the buns for it.
He then ordered me to put my pants back on because he was very aroused to see my buttocks with this thong.
He offered me the thong and told me where to buy other ones.
So, I kept the thong on me and put my pants back on.

Next week, I started to buy thong underwear and thong swimwear. I showed them all to him. He suggested me to go to the swimming pool with the thongs, but I didn't do it at this time (now, I regret to have not done it)

It is how I started.

As I am straight, it was a torment for my gay friend to watch my buttock with a thong in his apartment. He was really very aroused.

I’ve worn thongs to swim laps and they’ve come over to me while swimming and asked me to not do it again. Every time I’ve done it at that pool. The silly thing is that it was always like 6am when no kids are there. This is in LA.

Nowadays, almost all girls over 15, who train seriously in swimming, wear very cheeky swimwear which become a thong when they swim.
The major brand sell for them very cheeky one piece swimwear or cheeky bikini and sometimes thong.

It is impossible for lifeguards to ask a man to not wear a thong without doing gender discrimination.

Otherwise, the best answer is to swim, to swim and to swim.

If you do a serious swim session, lifeguards and other swimmers will consider you as a "serious swimmer", no matter if you wear a thong or a brief.
If you are a poor swimmer, you will be considered as a "thonger", a "sun bather" but not a "swimmer"...
This is unfair but it is valid for men and women. In my country, the consideration given to you will depend on your swimming level.

That is the reason why, when I arrive in a new swimming pool, I hurry to start swimming. That way, others consider me like a serious swimmer, no matter what swimwear I wear, no matter my swimwear is a thong.
 
 

I always wear a thong for my annual check to the dermatologist.

I think that a thong is the most convenient underwear for this check.
The dermatogolist never made a comment about my thong and she checks my moles on my buns. I think she is not surprised and she is used to see thongs everyday (even if it is more common for women than for men).
So, the dermatologist is THE doctor where a thong is useful and necessary for a full and easy check.

Yes, I am "stringueur" on thongboard.

Congratulations for recognizing me so quickly 

To be honest, it depends on the pools.

Some forbid thongs, some authorize thongs and most of them do not have precise rules and may tolerate or may forbid thongs.

What there is to know :
- gender discrimination is forbidden. So, if thongs are authorized for women, it is OK for men too.
- Read the rules or observe if there are women with thongs.
- only conservative thongs are authorized / tolerated. Mesh, see through, G-string are always forbidden
- Avoid busy hours during summer because there is a lot of rednecks

I think over half of the pools authorize or tolerate thongs for men.
Since last year, I went to 10 differents pools. No issue.

Each year, I see english men to be rejected because they wear boardshort.
It is priceless to see their face when they see me and they understand that thongs are OK and boardshorts are forbidden.
