Why don't they even make sexy underwear for straight dudes?
There's silk boxers*, I guess, but that's about it.

It's weird that there's a multi-gazillion dollar industry for tucking, lifting and hiding our bad parts in clothes we plan on getting out of ASAP (thus rendering the lifting and tucking in vain, never figured out the point of that myself,) but there's really nothing analogous for guys. There's underpants to tuck in their guts and butts, accentuate their packages or pad flat buns, in order to look better dressed, but not really underpants designed to look really hawt on their own. (Outside of fetish gear, at least.)

I think men and corporate culture assume we're less visual, but have they ever really tried stimulating us visually? Or is it just that men wouldn't put up with uncomfortable underwear, and women will?

*not that I'd buy them, but this is more of a general question

1. Why not just have 'em wear women's lingerie?
:)

I like boxers & boxer briefs...

3. Boxer briefs are cool, but not really designed for the female eye
I'm just wondering why there's no equivalent industry built on appealing to the opposite sex.

10. Well my eye likes boxer briefs a lot!
I think the equivalent industry for men is the auto industry. ;)

19. How about a sarong?
I know it isn't underwear, but they can be pretty sexy 'commando-style' and they give excellent...um..."status" reports; they are often made beautiful, colorful fabrics.

They also pull right off.

2. Listen, if you want sexy pictures of flvegan, PM him.
Do the rest of us really have to hear about it?

;) ;) ;)

Seriously: I'm sure that if it felt good, that we weren't feeling silly in it, and if it made the significant other happy, we wouldn't have any problems with it. You can strike the first requirement if the third was met, BTW.

4. BTDT.
As for feeling silly, how many women (not me, I have some dignity) will break out the sexy Santa teddie this weekend? I can't imagine anything goofier than that.

6. Yep. Men -are- willing to make themselves silly to please their woman.
Or man, depending. Do we not don pirate outfits and ravish thee? Do we not... I'll stop before I get started :)

7. I'd guess because there's no consensus
on what constitutes "sexy underwear" for guys. :shrug:



There seems to be one on what isn't sexy, but damned if I'm gonna even look for that pic, much less post it.

21. My pleasure! Victoria Beckham is one lucky lady.
Edited on Fri Dec-21-07 04:30 PM by CottonBear
She told Larry King that she and David sleep in the nude! She said that of course if you are lucky enough to be married to DB, you'd sleep in the nude too!

**swoon**

**sigh**

23. Most straight guys probably think sexy underwear is a little gay.

25. That's what I'm saying. There's a double standard there. Men are expected to put an effort in,
men not only aren't expected to do so, but doing so is suspect.
