"The Dangers of Thongs" -- oh yes

Bookmark Removed

Coworker/ILE feller Tom P mentioned seeing a preview of a story supposedly going to run on our local Fox News (thanks Rupert Murdoch!), with an OB/GYN pontificating on the concerns. So...anyone have any problems themselves?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well mine sure rides up.

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

for some reason, ned, i thought yr question was about godspeed you black emperor wearing thongs. that would rule. GYBE should all wear thongs

― gareth, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just thought Ned was lisping.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Um, no.

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My boss wore a thong today and I was amused but really, its not proper workplace attire.

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The environment is never wrong for a thong. Of course, the wearer can be wrong, very wrong!

― tOM p, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thongs meaning knickers or flip flops? Both can be hazardous.

― Madchen, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Especially if you get them mixed up on e day. Also if you confuse fanny with fanny

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thongs cannot be comfortable, can they? Comfortable pants rule.

― Ed, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ok. There are 'concerns'?! WTF!

I do hate it when I'm getting something out of the lower drawer of a filing cabinet, and then I realise that they're totally showing at the back above the waistband of whatever I'm wearing. Seems a tad unprofessional.

― Kim, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wathn't lithping, Dan. You athhole.

To Kim -- you got me! Ask Tom P for more, he's already posted.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It seems as if more woman's tops of the undies show these days than ever. It seems so informal!

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My underwear are always sticking out. Thongs are much more comfortable than regular underwear, btw.

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's much more formal to see the entirety of a woman's panties. :)

The only "dangers" I can think of involving a thong revolve around choking on one. Or possibly getting a huge boil in your asscrack because it doesn't fit well.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*Choking* on one, Dan? Thanks for the images. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm totally intrigued, cos I ain't never been in danger of choking on my own thong.

― Ally, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Some Santa Monica doctor has started a "anti-thong movement" and is trying to discourage women from wearing them, illegedly because they cause infections and cuts! I am really curious how she was able to come to this conclusion-I'd like to see her research. My guess is that thongs don't quite complement the good doctor personally, so she is trying to ruin everyone else's fun.

― tOM p, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh and Dan, do you mean chocking on your own? Or someone else's?

― tOM p, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Unless you're a contortionist, someone else's.

I wonder if this doctor has been wearing cast-iron or razorblade thongs. That's possible the most disturbing thing I've read today (besides that Carrot-Top website, YIKES).

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Okay, it isn't likely that you're going to choke on someone else's thong unless you try to. I was thinking about something along the lines of rushing oral sex and the disasterous consequences, but I'm clearly talking out of my ass. Sorry.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, that's what I figured you meant, someone else mentioned chocking on thier own thong. That sounds like a scene from a particularly nasty porn flick!

― tOM p, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I refuse to wear underwear. David wears boxers. Thongs are actully on our list of unnegotibale automatic deal breakers.

― anthony, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As Ed so rightfully pointed out, thongs cannot be comfortable, and are therefore not good. The prime purpose of my underpants is to shield my genitalia from the harsh outside world and vice versa so wearing revealing and harsh pants makes no sense.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thongs on gurls = path to righteousness. For the sake of improved worldwide VPL, thongwear can only be encouraged. Either that or nothing. Thongs on guys = suspect.

― AP, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I agree with Ally, they can be way more comfortable than normal underwear.

But as for cuts etc, ok sure if you're buying the type made out of material that doesn't stretch and gives you an impromtu garotting (sp?). There was this one unfortunate pair that I owned, that highly resembled dental floss. But in the wrongest of wrong ways.

― Kim, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

someone post some links to thong pictures

― Mike Hanley, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― Mike Hanley, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Squash is okay game, tho' hellishly dull for spectators. No longer! Hooray for Vickybot.

― AP, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I, too, believe thongs are evil and should be banned, however, I don't have a Doctorate to back me up on this one. I am, however, fat and ugly and would look ridiculous in one, so can I use that to substantiate my claim?

― masonic boom, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How the hell can they cut you up unless they are made of razor wire or something?

Anyway, anything is better than VPL which is never attractive. And g- strings (sounds sexier than thong) take up less room in a suitcase.

― Emma, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You are not fat and ugly, Kate! Pfffttt! As for thongs, hmmmm. Someone once wanted me to wear a g-string, and I ran away. They look kinda awkward to me. Still, my knowledge of underwear is very limited indeed...

― Paul Strange, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

G-string VPL can be bad though. Double-bumped hips are not sexy. I tend to buy mine a size bigger to avoid unsightliness and discomfort.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Imperfection = human = sexy. I'm all for VPL.

― Tom, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd rather have VPL than a freaking string up my butt, thanks. VPL only offends other peoples sights, and if they don't like, they can just not look. I can't just suddenly decide not to feel my ass for a day...

And I am so fat and I am so ugly and I feel even moreso every time I get photographed and there was a hell of a lot MORE photographing last night.

― masonic boom, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like a good camel toe. Girl in gym this evening, wearing Nike lycra hotpants, in white, and no panties, and her, erm, mound wuz like out to ... ... ... here! Everyone's checking her out, in none too discreet ways, & she knew and would stare back at them ("them" inc. me) all come hither-like — she was totally getting off on looking at people looking at her camel toe. I think that's excellent.

― AP, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What is this thing with VPL. It is more fashion fascism and obviously the most ridiculous thing ever. What is umpleasant is tight white trouser that are practicallly see through (favoured by the denizens of italy Yorkshire and the northeast). Being able to see a black thong underneath. What ever happened to leaving some things to the imagination. Baggy is a state of mind.

― Ed, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

she was totally getting off on looking at people looking at her camel toe.

I swear to god, I'm going to start taking notes and develop some of the scenes into a screenplay.

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Listen, as you might have heard, I have a big ass. And because of this regular underwear just ends up in the same place a thong/g- string ends up being anyhow, it's just a lot more fabric. So why not buy underwear that puts it there to begin with, is more comfy because it's less fabric, and doesn't stick out thru clothing to boot? It's either that or no underwear, which I do when I go to bed, but I was specifically told no underwear was not "corporate dress", so there you go. You have to buy the right kind though, you can't just go up to any old shop and buy thongs and then assume they will be comfortable. Good ones are made by the GAP, Victoria's Secret (but only certain VS thongs are good, like their mesh lowriders are nice, but the second string satin ones are too wide in the back), Cosabella, and Express, I find. You have to make sure the back is not too wide or too thin, like a half inch down to a fourth inch is good, anything more or less can be really uncomfortable.

Oh, and thongs on MEN are disgusting.

― Ally, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I agree. Men's underwear: the bigger the better.

Anyway, as for no underwear not being corporate dress, I wonder if I'll be sent home if I go up to my boss and tell him I'm not wearing any underwear? It's got to be worth a try...

― Paul Strange, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Paul, that is a DANGEROUS ROAD you are embarking upon. What if your boss smiles knowingly and coyly beckons for you to cum inside his office?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I saw some wonderful VPL yesterday. Sigh...loverly. ANyways, I thin all female tennis stars should wear thongs, it makes sense, athletically. WHat I worry about is doesnt the thong actually rest tangent to the anus> ? Dirty!

― Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As opposed to the pristine underwear people normally remove from their bodies after a long day?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Girls can wear g-strings/thongs if they like, but let it me said now that they are REVOLTING to look at (you know, if they're actually on show - I remain neutral on the whole VPL issue)

Bizarrely, many men seem to find them attractive attire, judging by their popularity with lap dancers et al. Err... and their No.1 slot on Granada Men & Motor's "Top 10 - underwear" investigation.

― Nick, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Perfection = a-human = sexier.

― mark s, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It is only ever men who get skid marks, us gals know how to clean up after ourselves properly.

― Emma, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I actually don't see how they're so sexy either - ooh look, butt cheeks. Um, hooray?

I don't know about you all, but my underwear are always perfectly clean. I am made of plastic.

― Ally, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

WEll no other undies come so close, so intimately caress the poor anus as it tries to go about its day of keeping back the hellish wastes of the body. NOt breifs, not boxers. The canyon of the ass is invaded entirely. Seems mighty unlcean to me.

― Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I now, finally, have a concrete answer for that ILE taboo thread...

― Kim, Wednesday, 18 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"The canyon of the ass is invaded entirely"

This is in fact EXACTLY what happens When Boxers Attack.

Dan hit nail on donkey re: comical nature of visible patterned underwear — I mean, it's like a joke just seeing that stuff!! Oh, and good camel toe synonym = VW bonnet.

― AP, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Old schoolboy joke from 60s - Where's Ginger Marks?* In your pants!
*Ginger Marks (or is it Marx, dunno?) was a London gangster allegedly murdered by the Krays, who's body was never found. Hence the joke.

― DG, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

DId he die in a pants factory or something?

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think you got Ned confused with Howard Stern.

― Ally, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Speaking of which, I heard Hosterns rating are falling faster than Thatchers' Tits

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah Ally, you've inadvertantly stumbled across the two questions I hate most:

PERSON #1: "Are you trying to look like John Lennon?"

ME: *wearily* "No."

PERSON #2: "Are you trying to look like Howard Stern?"

ME: *growls* "NO!"

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

PERSON #3: "Are you trying to look like Kenny G?"

NED: "...yes." *cries*

God, I'm evil today. :)

― Dan Perry, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"Are You trying to look like KLinger ?"

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kenny G? You strange man.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey, it made me laugh. And I don't think I ever tried to claim normalcy.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kenny G vs. Michael Bolton. Weapon? Daggers. WHo wins?

I'm not sure if you people meant this whole topic to be funny or if you were serious but I just wanted to thank you all for making me laugh my ass off. As for the question, my wife says that the underwear are just going to end up there anyway so why not make it as small a wedgie as possible?

― Pennysong Hanle y, Tuesday, 18 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

They can be comfortable if they fit correctly and of course, prevent wobbly arse VPL which is a Good Thing! Nothing worse than being fixated on someone wearing too-tight trousers with VPL sticking out a mile whilst walking behind them eugh eugh icky.

However, if I had a pair of bloomers, I would not worry. Wow. Visible Bloomer Line. Shall I bring up a topic once debated at Trig Brother?

What is the most unacceptable thong ever to come out of your ass?

two months pass...

I dont know about anybody else but when I see a bird bend down and see the tops of her trousers to gradually slip down to reveal a beautiful tiny pink thong, I perminantely have my eyes glued to it until either she pulls her trousers up or she gives me the biggest slap around the face. Does anyone else suffer from this?

― Ben Dover, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A thread that should always be revived.

Dood, when that happens, there is no suffering.

― JM, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i will also admit to having this problem, ben dover, although i am much more innarested if shes wearing undies that don't look foul like thongs do. baby make your booty go dinna, dinna!
