I first noticed my underwear obsession when i was 7 years old, and the baby sitters son taught me how to jerk off. i started looking at the JC penny book (you know the really thick one) and finding the ones of the guys in the underwear pics. then i kinda gave that up for a little, but totally renewed it when i was ay my families picnic, and went into my hot cousins room, and found a pair of red string bikinis, worn, laying on his floor. i took them in an instant, and wore them for like a month when i was 12. have been hooked ever since...

Great idea for a poll! I almost answered 5-10, as I was definitely aware of underwear at that time; however, it didn't became an obsession until I entered my junior high locker room for the first time, and beheld the WONDROUS site of an enormous crowd of young guys in white briefs--if that! After that, I began sleeping either in briefs or nothing, and would have worn my white briefs as loungewear around the house, had I not known that the parents would have taken a dim view. Thanks. Interesting question!

I had to be about 14-15. I knew I liked underwear was when i was delivering the morning papers, being a paper boy, I came across 2 pairs of Hanes colored briefs hanging on the clothes line in someones backyard. One was blue and one was gold. I couldn't pass them up so I swiped them and loved wearing them. I was an underwear freak from that moment on.

Obsession of underwear for me was at a very early age for me. Mine began when I was about 5 or 6 years old. :D

For me, I was about 13 years old. They were a pair of nylon/spandex bikini briefs from Penneys. Wore them out. I eventually gravitated to sheer underwear, then selective wearing of underwear, depending on the occasion, and the weather. I live in N2N now, but back then, those bikini's were plenty daring!

It all started when I was about 5 years old when my next door neighbour who was the same age as me, got me to swap undies with him for the day. We happily wore each others undies for a couple of hours while playing in the garden. When our mothers called us in for the day we had to do some nifty manouevers to swap back. I can remember hiding behind a couch doing the quick swap. In retrospect this was probably completely unnecessary, as I grew up in Zimbabwe and in those days there would have been very little choice in boy's underwear - if I remember correctly for the most part we all wore white cellular jockey briefs. So nobody would have been any the wiser that we had swapped. This happened quite often thereafter. From then on I have always been into undies and cocks and I sometimes wonder whether these early experiences had an affect on my sexuality?

Interesting topic

I was 8 years old when I became aware of my love for underwear. I slept over my best friends house Mark, his dad put us in the bath together, when he got us out he put me in a pair of Marks' blue briefs, I felt like I super hero in them! In the morning Mark, myself and his dad all ate breakfast in the kitchen only in our underwear, I thought it was hot and Marks dad look so good in these little black nylon bikini briefs. I think its the first time I noticed another man. That morning we went to the YMCA for swim team try outs. Mark and I made the team. I remember trying on the team suit in front of Marks dad. The suit was a red speedo with a bold white stripe on each side. I spent that summer just wearing my speedo, sneakers and a tee shirt going back and forth to our town pool. My irish catholic parents never said anything about the speedo. Its been 30 years since that summer and I've wore a speedo ever since. However, it did take me several more years before I got to wear my underwear of choice.

It began when i was at school, i went to all boys catholic school, snatched boys undies on sports days and during Phys Ed, had a lot of fun,i will leave details up to your imagination.

In my 20s i was living in student accomadtion so lots of opportunity to see hot guys in there undies,as we shared showers. Biggest turn on was sneaking into guys rooms when they in the shower (no one closed doors,rooms wide open) and trying on there undies and having a wank.

I went back in my 30s scored a job at the hostel, it was amazing, didnt need to snatch them , could try them on when guys at school then put them back.

Now I have met a few guys on the net who i can share my fetish with and swap undies.

All I know is that I am way more conservative now then back when I was young(er). Can't remember exactly when it started, probably when I saw therewas other underwear to wear then boring white briefs.
Probably came along with the time ... when it was hip to wear skimpy bikini's.
I remember wearing tanga's and small bikini's when I was in puberty, and when i come to think of it, never got a negative remark from anyone.
Guess that's because at the time everybody, or at least a lot of men, were wearing that kinda underwear.

I think it starte when I was around 5. Picture it, 1985, hot Colombian day. I am with my mother visiting some of her friends who still live at home with their parents and have 4 brothers. All 4 brothers were used to showering one right after the other, walking from their shared bedroom to their shared bathroom. One would leave the bedroom with just a towel around his waist, take a shower and walk back to the room with that same towel, and another would walk out. That day was not the first time I had viewed the spectacle, but that day was the first time I was invited inside their bedroom. What I saw inside is what got me hooked, though I didnt know it at the time. They invited me in just as the last brother was going to take a shower. I saw three of the brothers just hanging out in their beds wearing nothing but classic white briefs with the biggest bulges I had ever seen in my life, my father only wore boxers so I had not seen bulges like this before. I was intrigued, excited, delighted, distracted, as I walked towards one of them who was going to give me a toy car, I bumped my foot on to one of their beds and hurt myself pretty badly. I started crying, and their father came in to comfort me and took me away. I was soo angry with myself that I had cuased the end of the spectacle, that I wouldnt stop crying.
It was after that that I started finding myself trying to get my friends to show me thier undies. I still fantasize about what I would have seen if I had been in the room long enough to see the 4th brother come back from his shower and put his undies on in the room with me there. :mad:

I enjoyed looking at ads for mens and boys underwear when I was 12. I enjoyed the sight of my friends in their white briefs. White briefs were my chief fascination then and are still now.

My first "real" awareness of the fun of underwear apeared when I was at a friends house, a place where all of us would go when we cut school ( lol).

We of course were all stoned and while some of us dummies were zoned out on the couch, one of my best buds was getting dry humped by a girl on a bed in the next room...

well of course i was more focused on that than the silly pong game my friends were playing, so i went and watched my bud getting it on....
a little bit into his fun, the girl unzipped his jeans and was humping his bulge thru his shiny red underwear ( which I had never seen before)( i was still wearing and only aware of regular "mom bought" white underwear) and his bulge looked rather hot. I dont know what turned mre on more...him being humped, or his undies.

anyway...

they saw me standing by the door and stopped for a moment and then they started cracking up because they saw me rubbing my hardon thru my jeans...

i guessed i messed things up for them because they got off the bed and went back in the living room and smoked more joints..lol


fast foward a few weeks....


there we are....back at our friends house getting stoned...its just the three of us ( my best bud and that girl) on the couch and we were smoking bowls of pot....

well someshit happened, he dropped the pipe and the burning pot dropped in his lap and I brushed the burning weed off his lap ( im such a good friend lol)

right there and to my teenage-naive amazement, the girl unzips my friend to " make sure" he didnt get burnt, and there was those red shiny undies again.

Like I said above..i never saw undies like those and was fascinated by the color, shinyness and how his stuff looked in them.

By this time, the girl ( she was the neighborhood slut btw...did all the guys except me :( ) started rubbing him to "make him feel better" right next to me on the couch..to say the least..im about to burst thru my pants..lol

so anyways...my buddy notices me looking at him getting rubbed and asks me if I like his undies...Of course I said yes....then he takes my hand and puts it on his hard bulge and tells me to check em out because they feel awesome....of course i did..they turned out to be Bravo underwear and I never felt anything so awesome..I was completely turned on, trembling and my little cock was very noticeable thru my jeans..


So the girls looks at me and starts laughing at me and point to my little bulge and said that it looked cute.

My buddy whispered something in her ear and then she got up and sat between us and procedded to give us both handjobs thru our undies.

Needless to say..I came in my undies in like 5 seconds ( this was the first time a girl purposely made me cum) and my friend cracked up so hard he fell off the couch...

With that...they both went into the bedroom and he got laid and there i was with wet undies on my friends couch and what was the start of a lifelong obsession with underwear and underwear sex.

Up until my mid-teens, my Mum bought my underwear for me, so it was fairly unadventurous trunks & briefs. Then I saw some Jockey Skants in a department store sale, and my obsession had started. I was even able to buy some very low cut, see-thru bikinis in a store which I made sure I always washed myself :o

Well, for me, I had to have been about 7 and seeing my upstairs neighbors son ricky out in the backyard by the "old school" swimming pool. The ones with the metal walls about two feet high and a liner. You just pushed in one side at the end of the day to dump out the buggies and grass and anything else and refill it for the next day.

Anyhow, it was a hot summer day and we were outside playing "Off the house" with a raquette ball. We were hot and descided to jump in the pool since it was there. His younger sister Racheal was there too. We all jumped in the pool and cooled off. Soon, Racheal had to go in, So it was just me and Ricky in the pool. I had on the pattern whities with regular shorts. Ricky also had on shorts.

We started rough housing in the pool and he pulled my shorts down, so in retaliation, I yanked his down. He was wearing low cut briefs. I stopped to admire, but not long enough to raise suspicion. Anyhow. we played in our underwear only for some time till he had to go in. He got out of the pool and dried off while I watched, and from there on, I was definately hooked. I fell into "love" with Ricky LOL if you can call it that at that age. I would try to do as much as I could to get to see what he was wearing. Play wrestling ect. Gotta love the "Up the pant leg" peeks <g>

Anyhow, the huge "love affair" LOL lasted for only a few weeks, But my love to the bulges beneath the shorts didnt stop there.

Don't know why, but tonight I remembered my first thrill of seeing underwear in a different way and knowing I would always enjoy the sight from then on.

We had gone with a group from church to a resort to have an evening swim. I had to have been about 10. Some of the adult male chaperones were changing and one stood out because he was wearing under his jeans were brief and red clingy nylon. At that time you just didn't see anything like that in America. When someone said he looked like he was wearing his wife's panties he said he had gotten them on his honeymoon in France. I was a little disappointed when he took them off, but even then enjoyed the nice big cock I saw next.

About a half hour later one of the high school football players showed up to join us. He was wearing white gym shorts that that became almost see through when he got out of the water. He looked like he was standing there wearing nothing but a wet jock to the point you could see black hair curling out from under the pouch. From the back, his bubble butt was framed by those two straps in the back. I think he did it because some of the cheer leaders were there. Almost every time he got out of the water it was right by them. I might have been young but I wasn't stupid. It was just a little bit obvious. I was fascinated by the view and wonder if this wasn't the start of my becoming a confirmed top.

I saw my first french bikini in a locker room and my first real exhibitionist in a jock under wet white gym shorts in one night! Quite an evening for a budding underwear enthusiast wouldn't you say!

Now if there was just someone around who really enjoyed giving head...

Tricky and maybe a deep question!

I certainly knew about it when I was 11 and probably a year before that. But it was senior school which really fired my interest and whilst never being sporty the changing rooms were a bit magnetic - particularly if there was nobody in there......... omg, I'd better move on!!

We all wore white then, but what a variety of makes available, even for plain white briefs even back then.

Having just re-read the thread he's an update!....

The one incident that sticks in my mind is that I used to play with another boy.. I had not long been wanking and able to cum... anyway we used to push each other round on some sort of trolly thing in his garden. But when ever I pushed him when he was sat on this thing I always managed to (acidentally !) pull his shirt up from his jeans at the back and it would expose the delicious white waistband that said "Wolsey X" all the way round.. god, did I want to get inside those ooooo and the number of :bath: 's that I had dreaming of them... I can still visualise them now!!

And, to tantalise me even further I used to see them hanging on his washing line.. he must have had about 4 pairs all the same and beautiflly white... why didn't I pinch some!! :bath: again!!

Sadly despite dropping various thinly diguised hints about our white underwear and that taboo of wanking we never did discuss or do anything as he did not seem interested then he moved away.

I fell in love with underwear when I was in my teens about 14 maybe. Because I was at an all-boys boarding school I had plenty of opportunity to have a good look at lots of young men in their pants or less. :) :)
For me it was much more interesting to see them with their pants on. :) :)
In the late 50,s most boys wore white, either briefs or trunks. I had both sorts to wear as it pleased me. A couple of years later I bought my first bright coloured nylon bikini briefs and striped boxers, much more trendy. :D
I still like to wear white briefs, but don't find boxers feel right any more.
I now have everything from Jocks, Thongs, minibriefs, full briefs to hipsters. I like to ring the changes as the fancy or the weather takes me. ;)

When I bought my own underwear at age 18 I started playing squash and wanted something brief under my shorts .I went to the shops and saw jockey skants -50p each one blue and one yellow.When I got home I tried them on and had an immediate erection.After that I got hard whenever I saw an advert for briefs or saw briefs for sale in the shops.I would often travel to big stores just to look at the underwear section.At that age it took a lot of courage to ask for briefs or take them to the counter.I found a fantastic shop in Colliers Wood London which had a display of leather look zip fronted briefs as it was Christmas it was bedecked with a bit of holly on the ring pull!It took me ages to pluck up the courage to go in and ask for apair.I did eventually of course and have continued to buy and wear skimpy briefs ever since.
The thrill of finding something new is always there thongs from Marks and Spencers for example the sheer underwear from Calvin Klein novelty briefs from the market -I especially like the unzip a banana style!But fantastically I just picked up a pair of Versace string style briefs which are great.

Skants you have said it all there :)

I well remember looking at Skants in the shop windows along with the ubiquitous Y-fronts and thinking I would never have the courage to buy them!!! As I recall I bought something similar from BHS and went very red on taking them to the counter to find a young girl serving :eek

Shopping for underwear was an adventure unlike today where all the kids are cloned to wear CKs which must now be as common as M&S ;)

The last two posts reminded me that when I started buying my own underwear around 16 or 17, it was because I wanted to wear Skants instead of standard briefs. I saw them in store displays and they really turned me on. It took a couple of years to make the total switch -- one didn't discard perfectly good underwear -- but since then I've worn nothing but bikini style underwear.

I'm not obsessed by skants but I think they are to blame for my underwear fetish -eternally grateful! I do remember adverts in the Sunday supplements for jockey briefs which were mainly the Y fronts respectable stuff but one series had different styles for every day of the week -you were officially allowed to wear SKANTS on a Sunday! -what were we supposed to get up to then after we came home from church!

I can't remember exactly, but I must have been around thirteen or fourteen when I first discovered that my cock got incredibly hard and stiff whenever I pulled a pair of tight swimming trunks on over it.
I was supposed to have gone to bed, so it seemed a good idea to lie back on the bed whilst wearing the trunks I'd tried on, to see if anything else happened. I quickly found that running my fingers over the bulge in the front and gently rubbing the head through the trunks made me get that incredible feeling that ended up with total relaxation after all this sticky stuff shot from my cock into the trunks.
The problem was making sure I was back under the covers by the time the parents went to bed and I possibly had a visit from one of them to say goodnight. As we all know, it's all too easy to nod off after an amazing orgasm, but I don't think I ever got caught. If I did, nothing was ever said.
The other problem was hiding the trunks till I could wash them myself. Though I realised quite quickly that putting them back on the following night, with the previous lot of cum still in them, was even more of a turn-on.
I soon had to stop using the pair my mother knew was supposed to be in the third drawer down, for fear of getting caught. It was off to the shops at the earliest opportunity to buy more pairs of tighter and skimpier trunks to wank off in nearly every night.
I remember the shop assistant once asking if one of the really tiny pairs I'd chosen would really be big enough for me. I was already buying a size or two too small because I enjoyed the sensation more. I had to cover up by saying that I was buying them for my younger brother.
That non-existent younger brother had over a dozen pairs bought for him over the following year.

Wow Skants that brings back memories, I remember those adverts very well and a year or few prior to that there were plain white Y-front adverts in newspaper with a picture of a father and son in them...I often used to commit an act of self abuse looking at those - let us not forget those wonderful evenings of bedroom catalogue shopping either :bath:

And Ejaculator, I also used to naughty things in my pants\speedos in bed just like you.... also. did you ever get the cracking sheets\pyjamas syndrome, I never could explain that :eek:

Pity we not all at the same school ;) maybe we were !!!!!!!!

I wish we had been. I'm sure we'd have found lots of things to occupy ourselves together if we had.
I'd remember it though. I definitely don't remember ever shooting my load in real life over a bulge like in your avatar picture, or a cock like the one in your avatar video.
That's not to say it'll never happen, though. I could certainly be persuaded!

I was in a big store a few years ago and saw Hom swimwear -a tanga style which I quite liked I then saw it was an extra small size -26 inches. My waist then was about 29 - I couldn't resist and had to buy them.When I got home I had a great time squeezing into them with my bulging stiff cock trying desperately to resist being so confined.I had a great orgasm and gushed copiously inside them.

Was about 15 years old shopping with a pal downtown. Bought a few pairs of 'EGO' bikinis, in a real shiny/smooth nylon type fabric. Man, I loved those.
Never looked back from there.

I was going to say that my underwear fetish began late in life … but then I read other people’s posts and started remembering … and I realised that I’ve been into underwear since I was at least 12 or 13. I remember envying from afar the boys I admired most as they changed for gym lessons with their little bulges and buns tightly encased in white shorts that my mother never seemed to find for me. But I think it was seeing my then hero, Sean Connery, in what I thought were cool belted trunks in an early Bond film that set me searching in earnest for underwear that I’d look cool in. Sadly, it wasn’t until the 1980s that I began to find what I was looking for in the shops as new materials were developed – lovely closefitting, hugging stuff. Then I found strings … but that’s another story

I don't remember an exact time I got interested in underwear and such, probably around puberty. I do remember I always had an exhibitionist streak and from an early age always wanted speedo style swimwear. When bikini underwear became popular, it was a natural transition. My mother always bought my socks, underwear, etc., but when I was around 15 or 16 I decided I was going to wear Jockey Skants and bought a couple of pair. I put them in the laundry and my mother never said anything. Over the next few years I converted entirely to low rise Jockeys and bikini underwear as my regular briefs wore out. (No, we would never throw out good underwear.) In college I wore exclusively low rise or bikini underwear and in the dorm or locker room no one ever said anything even though I was definitely in the minority, most guys wearing standard white briefs or boxers. (On the other hand, I did get comments on how snugly my swim suit fit.)

For me, it was probably about the time that i learned to masturbate, about age 9. I learned to masturbate from another guy in military school and was a compulsive masturbator from that time till now. At home I would notice my mothers soft, smooth, oh so comfy panties in the laundry and would sneak a pair out whenever i could to wear and masturbate with. , the sensations.

Wearing out in public was a dare I made to myself and kept. OOOHHHthe feelings I would get then. I would walk around with a never ending hardon. Sometimes this was embarrassing, but did I care? of course no. Thee rush of adrenaline was to great.

Later in young adulthood adulthood when i had my own money I bought my own panties. No one ever said a word. I would wear my regular briefs to the gym, but other than that, wow, its been fun.

I really don't believe that I could ever go back to the old boxers and briefs if I had to today. Oh well we would see , right????????

I noticed other guys underwear at a very young age, I was always looking to see what other cute guys I knew were wearing mostly down the back of their pants at the waist band. Then I'd go to the store and wonder away from my parents and steal the same ones to wear so I could be just like those cute guys. I'd usually get a size or two too small so they would fit nice and tight. My Mom would find them and take them away often. I wonder what she thought when she found them? That usually pissed me off. I would take them to school once I got in to middle school and hide them in my locker until one day someone stole them from my locker I was so sad. Mostly I would jack off in them and they would become nasty cum rags as I could only wash them when no one was home. The first time I ever had the chance to steal another guys undies was when I was in the Boy Scouts on camping trips or Church outings sometimes I'd even feel up the other boys I was sharing a bed/ tent with. I also got to steal some of my hott step-brothers, I loved jacking in those. This continued into High School where a few of my hot friends wore BVD Briefs I thought those were great briefs then and I still have some of the ones I stole from them tucked away. I've never told anyone about all this, till now I guess. :bath

I think I was about 13. I am not sure it was an obsession back then - I am not even sure I would call it an obsession now - it's just that that's the first time I remember trying on underpants and thinking Wow, these look good and feel good.

Up to that time, about all you could find in the stores was daggy white fly-front briefs. We are talking about the early 1060's. And before Bondsman protests, I said "daggy". It is possible to have white fly-fronts that are NOT daggy, but damned if I ever saw them at the time of which I speak, on me or on anyone else. The first bikini brief that I ever knew of was the "Jockette", so named because it was put out by the Jockey company. (This is probably the origin of "jocks" as Aussie slang for underpants.) It was definitely a bikini brief, in fact I think the top and bottom edges sort of crossed over at the sides, and they actually SUPPORTED, as opposed to the things I was used to wearing, which were kind of like drawing a curtain. By today's standards they were nothing special, but it was the first time I thought of a garment as being sensual - this was before I got into the jeans thing.

My mother was still buying most of my clothes for me at that time. She got me 2 pairs of these, and frankly I would have just worn those all the time, but I felt I had to cycle through all the others in the drawer to keep up appearances. She must have noticed that I was wearing these more times than would have happened by pure chance. And of course being the age I was, just discovering the joys of wanking, I could not count how many times I creamed on them or in them.

Of course a bit later when I started buying my own clothes, they were the only onderwear I bought - at least until other brands of bikini briefs came along.

I answered the poll question as 11 - 15, although I was definatly aware of an interest earlier than this I didn't actively start collecting till I was bout 11 or so. (prior to this I only had a couple of pair from different sources, that is other than my own).. :hump

I was probably 9 years old when I started to actively pursue my interest in underwear and swimwear, but I think it had a much earlier origin. I read Superhero comics and watched cartoons and TV shows for as long as I can remember. What young boy didn't want to be strong and fearless and show and show off his muscles in a tight, revealing uniform? My favorite characters were Superman, Batman, Tarzan (not formally a superhero, but who cares) and later Spiderman. I always liked to pretend to be one of the above or a sidekick, like Tarzan's boy, when I played with friends. When I would watch a show that was particually exciting, I'd feel hot and sort of tingly. I'm still hooked on superheros to this day.

When I was about nine, I started taking swimming lessons at the YMCA. Our instructor wore a stars-and-stripes nylon speedo, like Mark Spitz', and I remember being fascinated by his body and his speedos. I wore heavy, woven swimming trunks and from that moment on, I wanted to get rid of them and wear nylon speedos, too. I eventually managed to buy a tangerine, nylon, Jantzen bikini with my allowance. I was a little disappointed when I tried it on, because it wasn't as low rise as a racing-style speedo, but it was enough to get me hooked. I still remember the smell of that suit to this day....
