Poll and Discussion: Sexual Orientation

[Deleted member 3098]

That's probably true.

More than likely lm not 100% sure l would do anything except watch.I guess my ultimate fantasy would be kissing hugging feel each other's body using slow play and then eventually end in underwear sex.But l really doubt that would ever happen in my life.lt hasn't happened yet.Maybe if l found a nice gal my fetish would be over.Maybe not.But right now it satisfies me sexually.But it does cause me to be gay curious.

I'm 100% straight. I have always liked to be naked, or as close to it as possible given the particular social setting. When younger I was not self confident in my body, but these days I sometimes like to think that somebody is looking at me and not judging me poorly. Maybe that says something about my self-confidence still in that I am seeking approval from strangers, but if so I don't worry about it. Usually in a setting such as the beach I don't even think about what I am wearing, just wear something that is comfortable even when wet.

I would say I'm 99% gay and I love underwear. Well I knew I was gay around 13, and also finding out that I liked guys in bikini briefs.
The 1% is like having friends and appreciating the female form. Like when leggings came in to fashion I was looking at women in them. And also wondering if I could wear leggings and if my butt would look as good. Haha.
Anyway, I'm happy with my sexuality and being what I am. Just living life happily and in underwear.

I'm more than likely straight also but since l was never married
it always makes me wonder what it would be like if l was with a gay with undie fetish that wanted me.Would l say no or would l comply.

 

[Deleted member 3098]

I'm gay. However, I see my love of underwear and speedos as separate from that. I just love underwear for its own sake!

I love underwear for it's own sake to but since lve never been married or lived with a gal it makes me wonder if lm more than just straight.

 

[Deleted member 3098]

I've never wore a speedo but people tell me l would look hot in one.Even at 64.I never got turned on walking into underwear store except at times when l tried to quit my underwear fetish.Then it would be exciting going back to it because l had thrown hot undies away.But something inside just missed it.So l guess lm addicted to underwear mostly just briefs.l may experiment with exotic once l determine l will always be single.My problem lm health nut into anti aging stuff and look 40 to 50.But when 40 year olds like me.Then l tell them my age and they figure lm to old.People my age usually aren't healthy or look to old for me.On dating sites the younger go by age.So lve given up dating sites and lve just about given up relationships.So then l maybe stuck with with only my fetish for thrills.l had a gay guy somewhat attractive in his 30or40s really interested in me until l told him my.Your old enough to be my father he said.l could lie on dating sites but eventually lf have to tell them
the truth.I have a fairly hot body and am good-looking.l have younger interested all the time until l tell them my age.So could end up trying things and everything.Thats why l joined this site to see all the possibilities.

It's an interesting topic. I used to feel really turned on just going to a department store and walking through the men's underwear section. All those different shapes, colours, textures, fabrics. Also always felt super-disappointed about the limited range of speedos.

A department store here in Australia was stocking purple g-strings for men and the lady sales assistant was a bit doubtful that they would sell. However, I bought a few. I guess a lot of men love exotic underwear.

What store was that? I've seen thongs and G-strings in the men's sections in places like Myers, but not for a long time. Target also had a line of Maxx thongs at one stage, but the last few times I looked they have only briefs and trunks - and mostly the latter.

Hi SweatyAussie,

In response to your question, David Jones about ten years ago. The reaction of the saleslady was kind of funny - she really didn't think she'd sell anything so delicate and sensuous to a male customer. She had a really concerned, worried look on her face.

You're right, though - DJs and Myers don't seem to stock certain items consistently. Seen a few jockstraps at David Jones though in the last few years - brands like Armani Emporium. Then a young male customer comes by and he's like: "Where's the back of it?"

I also get embarrassed buying jockstraps if an attractive male clerk is serving me. All staff have always been extremely polite, however!

I only wore jockey undies when playing sports.But l was never attracted to men in jockstraps.l guess lm just a brief person.l only looked at myself in mirror in undies nobody else in high school.

I have never really felt self-conscious when buying any kind of underwear. I must admit I have sometimes felt a little nervous when buying jeans, as I am always looking for the tightest I can squeeze into. There was a time during the 2000s when the only way I could get the fit I wanted was to buy from the women's section. A few times a salesperson asked me if I realised I was browsing the women's section, and I replied with the truth, which was that I found the fit to be better. A couple of the sales ladies (for some reason they nearly always seem to be ladies) volunteered the information that quite a few guys were buying so-called girls' jeans for this very reason, and that put me at ease.

Eventually the manufacturers must have realised they were missing out on a slice of the market, and so tight jeans have made their way back into the men's sections. (I dislike the term "skinny - can't we just call them "tight"?)

If any staff were rude or dismissive about my purchases, I'd take my business elsewhere. However I don't think I have ever had that happen, at least not with clothes.

I have come to the conclusion from visiting other sites, as well as some personal experience, that man-to-man spanking sometimes serves as "the sex you have when you're not having sex". "It's not really sexual" the spankee can tell himself as he bends over and pulls down his underpants. After all, male-to-male spanking (usually teacher-to-pupil) was common in the days before corporal punishment was phased out of schools.

As someone who usually cracks a fat from getting a spanking, I find it hard to believe that these guys actually feel no erotic component. It's my belief that they are indeed enjoying it in an erotic sense, but are able to tell themselves that they are still "straight" because it's not really sex, not in the sense of involving penetration. It's a kind of denial on their part, but I try not to judge. You can't drag someone out of the closet until they are ready to come out.

When I was in Eighth Grade, 12 or 13 years old, I got into a bit of a scuffle with a classmate and the Principal called in our Phys Ed teacher to administer our corporal punishment. I, and the other boy, had to lower our trousers and underwear then bend over slightly and brace ourselves on the Principals desk. He gave us five swats each alternating between us. By swat number three I had a raging hard-on! I think I was even leaking cum a little bit. I know the Principal saw my erection; I could tell the way he suddenly shifted his eyes. I tried to be discrete when I pulled up my pants but there was nothing to hide the obvious bulge in my jeans. That was the day when I discovered that I enjoyed spankings, and I still do!

I've had the same inconsistent experience at DJ's and Myer. I've bought Jockey jockstraps in Myer (maybe 10 years ago) and 2Xist Y backstrings in DJ's. I used to love browing their underwear section whenever I was back in Aus but these days it's very staid in both. Used to be able to find thongs in K-mart and Big W (I think) but they, too, have gone very boring.

I like relaxed fit jeans but l do have one pair of tight ones and l like because l can still move around.l like jeans to fit snug but not too tight that takes my breathe away.

I always find this question interesting because I struggle to answer it to myself. So, I've been wearing thongs for 25 years or so. When I started wearing them, I would have said I was 100% straight. The first girl to see me in them loved them on me too. But then, I had a long term relationship with a girl would didn't like them, and she would tell me I was gay, which I staunchly denied. Basically, your underwear preference does not determine your sexuality. But now, for the last 10 years or so, I would describe myself as bisexual, or so I think. From a physical/sexual standpoint, I love both men and women, but from a relationship standpoint, I still prefer women. And I love both men and women in thongs!

So, I think it took me a little time to come around, but yeah, I would say I am bi!

 

[Fsanford82]

Straight, with a curious streak. Yes, I could have answered “Gay Curious” but I have never been with a guy, have been happily married for 28 years with 2 kids and would never do anything to mess that up, so if all goes well my curious streak will have to go unsatisfied. On the other hand, if she kicks me out somewhere down the road, I’ll have a go and see if it’s as good as the fantasies I've had.
I did come out of the thonging closet with my wife last year. I snuck off to the beach for an afternoon one day and came home with tanlines that couldn’t be hidden. She was cool with it, and when it’s just the two of us going to the beach these days I’m wearing a thong. I dig seeing pics of guys in thongs, partly to see if there’s a new thong that I might need to shop for. So thanks to all of you for posting your pics and i hope you like mine too.

I’ll add that posting here is a fun way to satisfy a bit of an exhibitionist streak that I must have. Also, even though I am an otherwise straight married guy, I really like it if other guys might find me attractive because goodness knows that at 58 years old not too many women do. And just for the record, I enjoy a good looking cock or bulge as much as the next guy!

My evolution was pretty similar to yours, though not with thongs.

This past year my wife and I have discussed opening up our marriage in an exploratory way so we’ll see where that goes.

That's awesome your wife is open minded and willing to explore with you. I say go for it! Speaking from first hand knowledge, I think we are all nervous to try at first so we wait and delay. But now, as I look back, I say I wish I would have started sooner!

So let my hindsight be your 20-20 vision!

I find people attractive. There are certainly some typical features of people that I find attractive, more often than not it ends up being women. I like folks who are confident in expressing themselves sensually and sexually, and there is something about the common stoic masculinity that seems to prevent a lot of guys from doing this. As for a label, I think "queer" is enormously underrated. It suggests a rejection of social expectations that resonates with my own experience. Its an odd time in the world to be single =)

That's an interesting take on the word "queer". I tend to avoid it in conversation, because, as you say, it seems to say more about what you are NOT than about what you are.
