D'ya really like sexy knickers or do you prefer to cut straight to the bare-nakedness?

I ask 'cause a couple of guys I've been with (current one included) can't really work themselves into a lather over expensive frillies. They much prefer no clothes at all.

A pal in my work got herself all dolled up nice for her man in a tiny little silk negligee, very expensive, bought especially for their anniversary. She slinked out of the bathroom in it and presented herself to him, he nearly choked on his beer. "What the hell are you wearing? You look like you're gonna do the tango love."

So not all guys like frillies. Hmmm. Suits me - I wear whatever undies I want and when hubba time comes they get thrown to one side just as elegantly as a red lace thong would.

So what's your stand?

I'm such a hippie I don't particularly care about fancy undies, and the women I've slept with have usually been the kind not to care too much about them either. Aesthetically, I like looking at funky underwear, such as ones with red stripes, cool pictures and stuff, but if it's merely about sexing up, it doesn't matter what sort undies the girl is wearing, it's better without them. I guess there's a difference between one-night stands and wanting to spice up a long relationship though. Anyway, if I'd go to bed with someone and she'd happen to wear the sort of de luxe undies with a lot of lace and frillies I might kinda wonder about it too, mainly because I wouldn't be sure if she was my type after all.

i don't like them. for a start, my bollocks hang out the side of G-strings.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

i have to admit that i like them. not all sorts, but certain ones have a certain charm which makes it like gift wrap.

I like having nice underwear, but that's generally for myself. I feel like I have inner-glamour even if I'm wearing jeans and a too-big-t-shirt. In my general experience some men are extremely happy and others don't even notice.

(Why am I talking about my underwear on the internet? Ah yes, no one else at all is in my office and I'm slowly going loopy.)

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

I think andre 3000 is onto something here.

― Ed (dali), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

I like 'em. It's the gift-wrapping thing for sure - they're good to look at and if you get to help her out of them, they're even better.
And it's also nice that she wants to make an effort for you.

An ex of mine hated them. She said they were all deeply uncomfortable and designed for the bodies of mutants. As I fancied her like mad no matter what she was (or wasn't) wearing this wasn't an issue for me.

My best friend's ex-girlfriend (and still his part-time fuck-buddy) once complained to me that whenever she went annd dressed up for him, all he was concerned about was getting her naked as soon as possible. She felt let down that he wasn't especially bothered about the trouble she'd gone to for him.

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

I agree with Anna. I wear sassy underwear for my own enjoyment first, and happily guys have seemed to enjoy it too - either to touch(frills, satin) or to undo (big bows).

But essentially, I don't think what kind of underwear you have really matters just so long as it's clean.

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:28 (twenty years ago)

are there any men (gay or otherwise) into fancy undies on other men?

― Sororah T Massacre, asking the questions that must be asked, regardless of how i, Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:32 (twenty years ago)

I have started to make an effort to wear matching undies, and I have a couple of sexier sets that I like to wear when I'm going out but that's about it. I like cotton thongs (I find them comfy), and cami-knickers but yeah, they're for my benefit only.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm with Anna and Marianna. I wear naughty knicks and bras for myself and if anyone else likes them it's a bonus.

― leigh (leigh), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

what do you get out of it though? why is it enjoyable?

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

It's all part of the wearing nice clothes thing I guess.

You just feel, nice.

And if you get trapped and some hunky firemen need to cut your clothes off then you don't want to be wearing a washed out grey saggy bra and off-white giant pants. (I don't anyway)

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

I guess it's the same as, when I used to wear make-up I often put make-up on even if I knew only the grocery store clerk would see me, no one would be impressed by it.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 29 December 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I can appreciate well made lingerie and it certainly can look nice on a woman if it's the right color and cut but I think its primary function is to make her feel sexy. Were she wearing the most banal of undergarments and I was in the mood for hubba time, it would make absolutely no difference to me.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

"sexy" undies = not sexy.

high-quality fancy matching knicks & bra = k-r0wr. I like them a lot.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:24 (twenty years ago)

So, the Anne Summers green satin french knickers with red lace trim don't do it for you then? WHY EVER NOT?

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:26 (twenty years ago)

are there any men (gay or otherwise) into fancy undies on other men?

Freeballing is always sexier than wearing boxer shorts -- and no, I don't care if the bowers are silk. Bunching, tenting underwear just does not look attractive.

In terms of "sexy" underwear, all that International Male stuff just seems extremely embarrassing. A simple jockstrap is a million times more hot.

― elmo, patron saint of nausea (allocryptic), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

boxers, not bowers.

― elmo, patron saint of nausea (allocryptic), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME BEFORE I DIE. PERHAPS THAT CUTE OFFICE TEMP IN THE IT DEPT WONT OBJECT TO ME LIFTING HER SKIRT IN THE ELEVATOR. BETTER BRING THE DUCT TAPE JUST IN CASE.

― ILX MEN (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:31 (twenty years ago)

Oh my god I don't even know what kind of reaction I'd have to a man in fancy underwear. I'd probably pee myself laughing at him.

Fancy underwear on men looks ridiculous.

Ann Summers is crap. this is better, yum.

I can't say I've met a woman who expressed a particular preference in underwear for me.

xpost
Some ladies of my acquaintance once bought me something similar. I very much doubt they wanted to see me in it.

Damn you html code!

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:39 (twenty years ago)

I'd punch a man wearing that thing. Then I'd pee myself laughing.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:40 (twenty years ago)

It really doesn't look in any way comfy; which is what I look for in undergarments.

Also I am not really a fan of the AP naming convention! Why can't they just call something by what it is, instead of giving everything a silly name like it's some kind of Sexy IKEA or an auto manufacturer? SILK PAJAMAS. WHERE IS THE SILK PAJAMAS BUTTON. OMG I'M SO GETTING FIRED FOR THIS

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, in terms of ladies underwear, I've never noticed any man that I've ever been with being oblivious to fancy/sexy undergarments. I'm not sure if perhaps there are multiple definitions of such going on on this thread, like perhaps some people are thinking of really truly ridiculous get ups like teddies with fishnets and heels or something. But anyway, they've always had comments or seemed interested, but ultimately it is also the case that if they are in the mood they don't care if you are wearing grandma underpants, and yes, they aren't going to want to BASK IN THE GLORY OF UNDERWEAR, they're going to want to take it off, so that girl who was disappointed her boyfriend wanted to take off her clothes right away is dumb, unless she was wearing a costume and wanted to act out some kind of skit.

xpost like you didn't have ample opportunity to purchase them at home, at any point when I was sleeping/passed out/gone shopping...You keep complaining about it, but it seems like a wholly unnecessary situation you put yourself in.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 29 December 2005 15:53 (twenty years ago)

I don't like undies with a lot of glitter or frillies, I prefer more simplistic yet colourful ones, such as these:

I've changed my mind, maybe fancy underwear isn't that bad after all... I just don't like stereotypical "bad girl" undies.

what, like prison-issue ones?

I like the underwear that Tuomas is posting. Otherwise, I have no need for frilly lingerie.

Wonder Woman pants!
I need to get a girlfriend and get her some of those right now!

God! I'm such a pathetic fanboy :(

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Thursday, 29 December 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

The bottom pair look like doll's underwear wtf.

― Je4nn3 ƒur¥ (Je4nne Fury), Thursday, 29 December 2005 16:06 (twenty years ago)

they must be really stretchy and look superb on a real live lady.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 29 December 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Or, alternately, they make even the skinniest lady develop little blubs of fat above the waist band and on either butt cheek at the end of the fabric. V. sexy.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 29 December 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

It isn't about the undies; it's all about the attitude.

― Aimless (Aimless), Thursday, 29 December 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

A nice sheer or semi-sheer bra or some lacy panties can be pretty hot but otherwise I don't care much for the lon-jer-ay. And when I'm first with a girl I don't even slightly notice what she's wearing - just want to get it off.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Thursday, 29 December 2005 16:47 (twenty years ago)

they're good to look at and if you get to help her out of them, they're even better.
And it's also nice that she wants to make an effort for yo

So OTM.

At the end of the day, if I find a lady attractive, by the time it gets down to the 'undies' stage, it won't sway my opinion too much whether they are fancy-pants, or everyday ones.
Having said that, I do like the way fancy undies look, and find them very sexy. And I would definitely appreciate them if they were worn (partially at least) for my benefit.

Also, I'd probably find sexy undies more sexy on someone I was already dating, and who (likely) didn't wear them regularly. i.e. they were worn as a 'special' thing - for fun... and ultimately, to give me a thrill, and to inspire me (even more than usual) to get onwards to the HOTT SEX ACTION

Of course there are varying definitions of 'fancy'. I mean, stuff from tacky fetish shops and porn star garb is obviously over the top, but I actually like frilly stuff, garters, hell, even fishnets.. Again, it's all about fun, and if the gal wanted to wear this stuff, then I ain't complainin!

Also, if it makes her feel more sexy, then it usually makes her seem more sexy to me as well.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Thursday, 29 December 2005 17:16 (twenty years ago)

Nice, slightly fancy matching white bra & knickers = good.
Shiny satin-type little nighty thing, feel of against her skin = v good.

I like undies with the little tiny keyhole at the top of the butt more, but I understand the appeal. I'm a lace boy short with matching bra girl, myself.

Yeah I'm all about the boyleg/short shorts with matching plain-but-cute simple stretchy bra or tankini top, its comfy, but still sexy. Lacy stuff is itchy and I feel silly in it, thus ruining teh sex.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 29 December 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

To the extent that it means much to me at all, colour is generally more important than cut or shape. Black or nearly = woohoo, white = fine if it's white, red esp those weird salmony tones = wtf. Approximately.

Thinking about it now, the main pornish underwear type I tend to react hornily to is the stocking-and-garter thing. Probably partly because of best-of-both-worlds situation, ie sexy underwear (now I'm getting circular in my arguments) and ahem no need to undress further etc.

― Christine 'Green Leafy Dragon' Indigo (cindigo), Friday, 30 December 2005 01:41 (twenty years ago)

I like a lot of the fancy lacy stuff with garter belts and all to look at, but also when I am undressing a woman I usually don't like to be in a rush - undressing someone is something to be savoured, something to make the most of - so it counts for something there too. I'd rarely want to give up putting my hand inside her panties, for instance, and you can hardly not notice those panties while you're at it. Obviously at other times, it's all about getting the important bits exposed quickly and getting to the fucking, and the only notice you pay to the underwear is if you struggle with a bra clasp.

Ha, my first post-marriage girlfriend: after our first date she asked me what kind of underwear I'd like her to wear for our second date, "if any". I let her kind of lead the choices, and she ended up with stockings and a basque and all that, which I wasn't going to argue againt. Mostly it was the clear implication of her asking, and the keenness to please, that was on my mind.

As for men, I like the tight, clingy kind. Of men's underwear, not men. It disappoints me that I could hardly have made the reciprocal offer to that girlfriend, that there is no 'making the special effort' option for men's underwear - all the special options being completely appalling.
