Thong sighting!

[SweatyAussie]

Today at the University Rec Centre while I was getting changed to go to the gym, I noticed another guy getting changed. He slipped on a thong followed by a pair of fairly short running shorts.

I mention this because it's highly unusual for me to see anyone else in a thong in the changing-room, or in fact in any changing-room. I know guys must be buying them, there are lots in the menswear departments so they must be selling like hotcakes, but they seem to keep them well hidden. (I, of course, make no effort to conceal the fact that I'm wearing a thong, nor do I particularly parade it.)

His thong was black - I think it might be one of the new Jockey line. I say "new" because I hadn't seen these particular Jockey thongs until I purchased a pair last month. Jockey, of course, is one of the original underwear manufacturers, and is probably the source of the word "jocks" as Australian slang for underpants.

The irony is that some of these pseudo-fashionists were maligning men in thongs 2-3 years ago, but now that they are sold by Jockey, in mainstream stores, they are suddenly alright.

Since I try to stay one step ahead of the "mainstream" I'll just stick with my white bikini briefs during the winter, and my usual fair during the summer.

Yes AZTanDan, I too am always amazed by the irony of that fact too.
One minute they're calling some poor guy a "faggot" for wearing something a bit different, ......the next they themselves have the very same thing on, .....except their's is from Wal-Mart!
I guess it all comes down to whether you want to be a leader or a follower.
Me? I wear what I think suits me, ....and care little for short-lived fads.
I think you do too, ...white bikini briefs certainly show of your .....er, ....assets very well!
