dayne: Because of family problems, I just wanted to blend in to the crowd growing up. Fast chance of that, my mother was a former model, and my older sister became a professional model. I always had the most current fahion, including the tight european styles of the 60's and 70's. I discovered though the bikini underwear that were out to wear under them didn't work for someone who is a large soft as most men are hard. So, it seemed things showed no matter what I did. The epitome was when I stepped in for the model who was to be photographed for in house publicity for the department store I worked for. I am short but have very long legs and a short trunk, perfect for the european styles such as angel flight, remember them? I changed in to the clothes and went down to meet he photographer from the newspaper. It turned out to be a person I went to grade school with and the older sister of my little sister's best friend. Nancy took one look at me and told me to take off my underwear, I had lines! So much for any modesty there. I learned how to deal with a whole new type of attention, including people who were quite open about how I was hung. I say with pride that I continued doing all of their in house until I left that job. It also started me on rather strange, "don't want it, but can't live with out it", relationship when it came to attention from other people.
It seems people are never happy you get used to tight styles and then loose and back again. Having worked in the fashion related jobs, I just got used to it. Probably the best decision I made was to wear exactly what I feel like within the context of currrent fashion. Underwear under a suit being a necessity, though occasionally I wore a jock strap, and walked around hard all day. But with jeans and things, boxer briefs, a thong, whatever makes me happy, and often commando-meaning nothing. The next trend is going to be back toward tight, and I have decided that my choice of what to wear underneath isn't going to change a bit.
I also worked out probably the hardest decision to make and that was considering what to do concerning swimwear. I like to wear a speedo or less and as long as I keep myself in shape I will keep doing so. I have decided that since the styles I like leave nothing to the imagination so be it. I find that I am more comfortable now than I have ever been before. There is no more worryiny about what may or may not be showing any more. Since then I have gotten comments from"that is obscene" from two gay guys, to "the ladies must really like that" from a married guy, to "what you are wearing is inappropriate" from a crabby little old lady at the gym. The best thing of all is that I am perfectly comfortable getting them when I never used to be. It is there, enjoy it, :lol: or don't look!
