a conversation with my significant other recently got me to thinking: men kind of are out of luck when it comes to "sexy" undergarments as near as i can tell.
as a hetero male, i always find the task of underwear shopping annoying. i gave up wearing "tighty whiteys" a very long time ago. several years ago i came across a website that carries many different styles/brands of undies. i found them after amazon quit carrying the brand i liked at the time. i was amazed at the options and variety offered by this site. however, the more i looked, the little i found that i liked. not a fan of lace undies, though i was amazed as to how many brands have started carrying them the last year or so. i do find myself looking at some of the options and find myself wondering where i would wear some of these, and then i started to wonder why i would wear some of the options.
many many years ago, way back when i was young and naive, a female friend of mine told me that she was planning on going lingerie shopping. to this day i still don't know if she was inviting me to go with her. regardless, i said something foolish like "who are you buying it for, your single at the moment?" she gave me a funny look (probably assuming i was as dense as a post and just a clueless) and said that she was buying it because it made her feel sexy.
i have bought a few pairs of undies since then thinking they were "sexy" and sometimes being incorrect. but, this is the point of all this: is it more important that i feel "sexy" or is it important that my significant other thinks they are? there are days when i have the house to myself and i shut all the drapes and strip down and put on a pair of undies i feel sexy in and strut about the house doing the things i need to do, and that makes me happy.
so, is that all that matters, that i feel 'sexy', if that's even the right word?
and yes i know, for a guy that wears a lot of kilts, its odd to think about underwear, but i dont always wear kilts, and sometimes im just wearing the undies. |
