Name is Tom and I live in SW Florida. Married father of 2 whose been wearing thongs for about 23 years. Thongs are all I wear for underwear and it's been that way for a long time, others are just too uncomfortable. I wear thong swimsuits everywhere I can. Wife and I both will at our local beaches and when we go over to the east coast beaches. I've thronged on beaches in the BVI, USVI, Florida, Maryland, the DR, Bahamas, Mexico, on Carnival and RCCL cruises, the beaches at the islands the ships port in, hotel pools across the country. It's definitely easier when the wife is along but I've gotten to the point that I'm 53 now, and screw anyone else and their thoughts, I'm doing what makes me comfortable!
