I remember seeing my first man-thong at a very young age. I was almost 11 years old and I remember being home alone while my parents were out. For some reason I went snooping through my dad's drawers because I was curious about getting different, more "grown-up" underwear. At the time I was only wearing tighty-whities and wanted to see what other kinds of underwear there might be.
At first, I saw regular bikini briefs of different colors, a couple string-bikinis, and few boxer briefs. Then I noticed something tucked in the corner underneath all of the underwear: it was a shiny metallic silver thong. Initially, I was confused as to what it was and how it was worn because it clearly had only a front and no coverage in the back. Once I determined which part of it was the waistband, I held it up to the mirror and then held it to my hips over my jeans. Extremely curious and also getting excited, I decided to try them on. After taking off the underwear I had on, I held the thong up to the mirror one more time. As I slid them up my legs and over my thighs, I got even more of a thrill! I was wearing the thong and looking at myself in the mirror for a while and even walked around the house in just the thong. I had decided to wear it for the rest of the day just to see how it felt under my clothing.
As the day went on, it got itchy which now I know because of the material that it was. Being shiny metallic, it was not meant to be worn extensively. I frequently "borrowed" the thong and wore it when no one else was around.
It wasn't until I got into high school and was driving that I bought my own thongs and started wearing them every other day. Then as I got more comfortable with my body and choice of underwear, I started wearing thongs daily. Now as an adult thong enthusiast, I have a different variety of colors and styles and speak openly about my thong underwear.
