4. eeek..>I wish I could remember the name of the designer
but there's a designer...perhaps two...I know that one is a woman, and I'm pretty sure another is a guy, but they've developed silky and satiny and lacy underwear for men that are masculine in a feminine way....and they stress that normal, every day heterosexual men can wear these underpants and not fear being called a cross-dresser....

19. Is this another Kramer product?

An attempt to recover from the failed "mensere" perhaps.

6. Matcom
Who and or what is stopping you?

It ain't hard to find that sort of thing online these days. Hell, I've seen mens size thirteen six inch pumps. I can't imagine you will have a hard time finding them. Just look.

9. Anecdotal evidence
leads me to conclude that it's physically impossible for a heterosexual man to be in close proximity to lacey, frilly underthings without trying to take them off.

25. I have some perfectly non-frilly, non-lacy underthings with "FTL"...
...on the waistband, and I maintain that "FTL" stands for "Faster Than Light," because that's about how fast they tend to disappear, so I wouldn't say that underwear needs necessarily to be frilly or lacy for that to happen.

Me, I prefer cute over frilly and lacy (cute tends to be comfier), but I know at least one man who really likes to wear frilly and lacy. (Dinnao why...sane *women* gave those up years ago.)

12. I think you are on to something
Maybe you should start Michael's Secret store. One day it might be as big as Polo or Tommy Hilfiger.

I tend towards bikini underwear or even speedos (I know, don't start).

that's not exactly a good thing is it?

24. it's fairly acceptable
If you are in a really hung-up area, I guess you could pretend you were shopping for your wife or something. I can't imagine anyone lifting an eye at a man shopping for skimpies at Victoria's Secret here in the New Orleans area.

34. Just go to Victoria's Secret in the Natick Mall and take your pick!
Bring Mrs. Matcom with you and let her buy them for you if you're too embarrassed. Because I've certainly never heard that it wasn't OK for men to wear lacy, frilly panties. J. Edgar Hoover probably had some in his top drawer. :)

43. Well if men could wear stuff like the men in these pics:






in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, then why shouldn't they have lace panties now?

Edited on Fri Sep-05-03 04:11 PM by sangh0
lace panties are not quite as "special" when a couple of testicles are hanging out of them

But maybe that's just me. :shrug:
