Underwear and American Culture

To Wear Or Not To Wear

As a child growing up, I wore the standard “peter profile” whities. When boxer briefs came around, I gave those a try as well. I found these two styles of underwear a bit constraining, so I decided to go without wearing any underwear for a spell. This worked out okay for me until those hot summer days. You see, I work in construction, and the deep summer heat causes me to sweat profusely. At the end of these days, if I did not wear any underwear, I would sweat so much my socks would be drenched by the end of the day. Nice visual huh? It was then I decided to go with boxers and thats what I ware still to this day.

I was married to a lovely young lady at a pretty young age (18). She ALWAYS wore either the white “granny” type, or the modest bikini style, always white. Consequently, I never thought much about the underwear women wore.

Now I’ve been divorced for running on 8 years now, and in that time I’ve had quite the opportunity to see just what kind of undies women wear or...don't wear. Now I never knew just how women thought about panties. I found that about 40% of those women I wound up with undressing did not in fact ware any underwear at all, and none of them wore the "granny" briefs. What I did find however is that a good share of the remaining women preferred matching bra/panty sets. Believe it or not, women can be quite creative when it comes to what they wear underneath.

Personally, I have come to appreciate the alluring nature of women who are creative in their choice of undergarments; said plainly, I find it sexy. In fact I prefer women in these sexy undergarments more that those that don’t wear any...until of course, they get in the way of ...things:)

So, do you wear underwear or no?
If so, what are your choices in underpants/panties?
Men, what kind of panties/bras do you like to see best?
Women, do you have any thoughts on men and what they wear for underwear?

oh, and to answer your questions...

1) i wear underwear about 60% of the time,,,i go commando 40% (if i had to take a guess at the percentage)

2)sometimes it's boxers, rarely it's briefs (usually when playing sports or somethin active like that , if i remember beforehand, which i usually don't, lol) recently i tried some boxers that fit tighter like briefs, and i like em.

3) i am a fan of most lingerie...the latex s&m stuff is about the only stuff i don't find attractive. those and the ones that make girls breasts look like missile silos and have the nipple poking out thru a hole or a pair of tassles. i prefer the lacier / silkier stuff and in a more personal sense, if it compliments the woman's look, i usually like it. the confidence in a woman can make a burlap sack look good sometimes,,,ya know?

4) i'm not qualified to answer this one.

Or,

Are you the Marv Albert type - walking round in women's underwear?

OK Doc, I'm going to be honest here. About 20 years ago I did in fact run out of underwear. I needed to wear underwear that evening. Believe it or not, I got busted by the cops wearing my wifes panties. NOT the most pleasant experience of my life!!

Ok!  let me tell you one of my faux pas'!  My sisters (and even mother!) wore all my clothes virtually on demand! (it was the 70s).  One day, I wore a pair of my sister's knee socks, and she had a freaking cow!

So much for equality!

Even now, my wife wears my shirts, but should I even look too long at a pair of her undies - she snatches them away!

I wear boxers to keep my fish swimming.

My gf has a HUGE assortment of matching bras and thongs. It nice when we get home from work everyday and I get to see which pair

Of course she has so many I still see new ones.

Oh....that is why my Amex bill is so high...i forgot.

I wrote an article about pretty panties a while back. I love pretty panties. I always wear panties. My favorite is boy shorts or bikinis no thanks on the thongs. Cotton for everyday. Silky for special occasions.

My hubby never gets to appreciate my panties because I'm too easy and they fly off in seconds. I really should learn to play hard to get.

I don't feel the need to be matchy matchy with the bras and panties though. You got to mix it up sometimes.

For my man I like the boxer briefs. I think wearing no underwear is gross but that's probably because of how my mama brainwashed me when I was a kid.

Well...we are waiting for the pics!!
Just kidding...sort of

Sounds to me like you appreciate the money being well spent. I think its great that couples can still see something new and fresh in the same ol' package. Good for you man! Two thumbs up!!

I find boy shorts are pretty common these days for women just banging around the house. I like em' as well as the come off easiest with a quick yank

My ma brought me up that way as well. My mind was quickly changed after my divorce:)

Yes, I do.

Boxer Briefs.

Hmmm...*grins* With my girlfriend, I have a thing for her wearing her baby blue and green lace bra, with her baby blue g string/thong. She really looks sexy in that.

*grins*

Well, she *is* sexy with or w/o that, but since you wanted an answer.


Peace...

Yes.

If so, what are your choices in underpants/panties?

Boxers most of the time, bikini briefs the balance of the time (ugly visual). Panties rarely (usually drunk).

Men, what kind of panties/bras do you like to see best?

Off.

Xythe Xythe Xythe...lol...love your articles



I like going without panties..much more comfortable..but if I wear them, I enjoy colors, and patterns and even some lacey ones.....Thongs? Ha, if I had the body for them still , and even then, I remember being skinnier and wearing them a lot of times. Very uncomfortable at times, ( no matter how "used to wearing them" you are,)


Bras..I love lacey bras, very pretty...( especially when you have what it takes to fill them out : )



As for what men wear?? As long as it is not a speedo, or a g-string I am fine! When I was a housecleaner, we found a client ( man ) who had g-strings, and the fronts of them were animals...Like an elephant's trunk, or a snake...It was disturbing as hell lol..So anything besides that is fine with me .
