Men proud to wear thongs on the beach

My previous articles on thongs for men on the beach and thongs for couples attracted dozens of emails. The summary of these messages is that we are finally exploring a whole new world of lingerie for men and women.

Let me share an interesting email from Jim who is not only proud of wearing a thong but also urges other men who have not yet tried this to give it a chance.

"I wear a thong regularly on the beach. Some of you will assume that I am gay, but that problem is in your head, not mine. My current girlfriend thinks I look good in a thong. Most of the comments I have received, when wearing a thong on the beach, have been surprisingly positive and supportive. It's a drag that idiots sometimes make silly comments, but on the plus side, I find that a lot of women like my thong and come over to meet me. Met one of my previous girlfriends that way. Yes, she approached me on the beach because I was confident enough to wear a thong.

Most men are hiding in long surf shorts, pretending that they are hung like elephants. HA! Silly buggers, the women know better.

It's important to find a good fit, one that is properly made for a man, one that is not too small. Don't let vanity rule; make sure the waist is large enough so that it does not dig in to the hips. If it does, it will give you love handles where there were none before.

Some people have asked why I don’t wear shorts, just like every one else. Do we have to dress alike on the beach too?

To the people who say "I don't want to see that," please just don't come to the beach or keep your opinions to yourself. We put up with seeing your ridiculous SUV's, Hawaiian wallpaper shorts, potbellies, whale white skin and your children; oh your children... So leave us alone.

Some of us are brave enough to break out of the stereotype. Most of the women dig us and it’s lots of fun. We are not out to please every one all the time, just ourselves. Did I mention that I have an almost contentious all over tan with a cute thong tan line? Have you seen what a board surfer looks like when he takes his shorts off?

Not every one will be a triathlete, a kite surfer, a hang glider pilot, or a wearer of thongs. It just takes a little courage and practice. The rest of you are just spectators in life."
