Sick of the monopoly women have on interesting underwear, I've just ordered these
in pink
in hot pink
in red
Color choices were down to what was available.
As a woman, do you think they'll look sexy, weird or gay?

Dear Velve,
I have this friend...

Ok seriously, (for those that know me, stop it, I'm being serious here, honest) I've seen something that I think is a great idea but it's being a bit slow to catch on, I want to help because I think this "thing" has arrived at the right place and the right time, what can I do?
yours charmingly, Obsequious.

The first ones would look sexy. The banana hammock and the peekaboo pairs will look gay.

Depends what look you're going for I guess.

Ooh, I can always do with people being obsequious to me Quoll.

I thought this might be handy as there are loads of posts from newbies (and oldies) who have simple queries and can't find the answer they want through thread searches. We'll see if it catches on or not.

Thanks for the bump.

The middle one made me chuckle. I think that the first one is the only one I could personally find attractive on a man.

I'm sure fenghuang will appreciate having more than one female opinion to consider.

i just don't like lace or silk on a man's panty

I personally think they all look a bit gay. If you like them then it's a case of 'what ever floats your boat'.

Bump

Just to see what happens.

Other than the lit personals, where is a good FREE place online to find women looking for no strings sex? Sites such as fling.com allows you to see the girls but you have to pay to get any info about them!!!

Very frustrating as I went through the signup process online to find out they want $$$. Go figure! Have any suggestions for me?

 

[VelvetDarkness]

adultfriendfinder is supposed to be quite a good one and free to join. I'm in a long term relationship myself so can't say I've been trawling the net for sex sites I'm afraid. Perhaps someone else will chip in with more suggestions.

Last I heard, AFF had a free basic (read:severely limited) membership, the ratio of males to females is outrageous and there are a whole lotta fakes on that site. One considering paying may want to google 'adultfriendfinder.com scam' first - there have been quite a few reports of the parent company overcharging, stealing CC info and being involved in CC fraud.

For 100% free sites, I'd suggest Craigslist and OKCupid.com. Be careful with Craigslist, as plenty of scammers reply to desperate, horny men to get email addresses and such, but people do hook up through that site, and I've found OKCupid to be pretty good all around.

Like anywhere else, check out your competitions' ads, and find ways to distinguish yours from them, and then put a good amount of effort into responding to ads that look legit and pique your interest.

I sit corrected. Thanks Erika

Underwear?

I got one! i got one!

What kind of underwear do women think is sexy? On both genders. Or each gender that is.

Ask Lushlucid

Just as I thought. For guys, there aren't any!

Fenghuang does make an interesting point though. Women have body stockings, bikinis, thongs, lacy bras, camasols, corsets, bustiers, teddies, in satin, cotton, and silk...and of course that's not even including the interesting stuff found at your local leather and latex store.

Men pretty much have boxers, tighty-whiteys or boxer briefs, and with the exception of a general consensus that TW's aren't sexy, what IS sexy on a guy is veeerrrry subjective.

My Master is a bear of a man with lots of body fuzz and a totally unevolved bastard streak. If he ever put panties on I'd laugh till I cried.

... and then he'd kill me.

To each his own though.

Yeah so true. I doubt anyone, including me, would get turned on by me in anything frilly or snug (though I'm fairly lean and broad-shouldered...I'd probably wear them better than your master ).

Without wanting to turn this into a thread about my underwear, FTR, it seems I'm massively under-endowed because the 2nd & 3rd are WAY to big & look very silly & not at all sexy.
As for the pink silk / lace panties, with hindsight they look better in black or white (but they've been out of stock for forever) & possibly if you're well tanned with a six-pack, but I shall try to post a pic for sexiness confirmation if I can figure out how.

So, how do I post a picture?

Personally, I don't care for any of them. The last pair look especially feminine.

 

[VelvetDarkness]

I'm staying out of the panty debate.

As for posting pictures... First you need to select 'standard editor' with extra post formatting functions from the 'options' menu of your 'control panel.'

You can put them on a pic hosting site and then copy and paste the link to the picture you want to share using the pic icon that looks like a miniature landscape.

Or you can upload the file (as long as it's the right format and not too large) as an attachment to a post in the same way as you attach things to emails.

 

[fenghuang]

... and the verdict is ...?

 

[VelvetDarkness]

Pink. The verdict is definitely pink.

 

[CheekyBoots]

Ok, I got one for ya! (No panties, though... )

How goes a college age girl present herself in a subby-type manner out in the wide world, without becoming a doormat? And will the domly types ignore her or find her unattractive if in public she's assertive and independent?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
