Thong Tan Lines

[jcorrola]

Hey all,

I'm recently single and have always wanted to work on getting a sweet tan with having either a speedo or thong tan line. Thong tan lines are definitely the hottest. I'm concerned it'll make dating new women a challenge. What do you guys think, will having thong tan lines scare away new lady friends?

Your new lady friends are unlikely to discover your thong tan lines until they themselves are in a state of undress and perhaps passion. At this point the two of you may have passed the point of no return and nature will take it's course.

If however you should be showering naked in gym or pool changing rooms your thong tan lines are liable to catch the eye of other facility users. Some may appreciate your efforts while others may exchange knowing nods, winks and giggles.

A speedo tan line is a more acceptable and sporty option.

It's your choice.

Hey Torchwatch,

Thanks for your reply! Are you saying the thong tan is less acceptable to women or in the lockeroom? Just curious because I already wear jocks and thongs to the gym, so what the other dudes think isn't so much a concern haha

Wearing a jock strap under your shorts in a gym is traditional and normal, getting jock strap tan lines would require you to sunbathe in just your jock strap and might be thought a bit odd.

You can get speedo tan lines by sunbathing in your speedos on any quiet beach or private garden, even around a public outdoor pool. Speedos are normal wear for many swimmers, having a speedo tan in the showers at the gym simply says you are a swimmer.

The men's swim thong has image problems, wearing one in a public place could get you into trouble, wearing one on a naturist beach might suggest you haven't quite got the idea. So the swim thong can only be worn in very secluded private gardens and very quiet beaches and might appear to be a bit kinky. Wearing your thong to the gym makes you fun and a bit kinky but wearing your thong tan lines in the showers suggests your a bit kinky and spending a lot of time sunbathing alone.
I like my swim thongs and have even swum in them in France but I'd preffer an all over tan to thong tan lines.

I see what you're saying. Thanks for your feedback!

In the changing rooms I use speedos and qssociated tan lines wouldn't raise an eyebrow, but occassionally you get some guy wearing a thong, or showing thong tan lines, and that does attract attention - in the form of smirks, giggles and nudges. For whatever reason (and think about it - how odd), thongs and their tan lines on men at least are not for general viewing.

Coming from a guy that loves small, skimpy suits...
I've had far more girls tell me they are turned off from a guy in a thong. I've only tried a thong out in front a couple very close friends once. The girls loved the front view but wasnt as keen on the rear view. I havnt put a pair on since and I definately dont miss them. Never got used to the feel up the crack.

I have a plan to lose weight over the next year. My wife of 20 years is going on a diet as well. I told her, when we have lost our weight, we will go to Vegas and go hang out around the pool in some new swimwear to go along with our new bodies (because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right?). This will hopefully serve as motivation for us to each lose weight and not 'cheat' on our diets so much.

In an unrelated matter, but still talking about our 'new bodies'... I told my wife how I will get laser hair removal on my back (she HATES back hair) and that I will also get a nice tan. I asked her which kind of a tanline she would like me to acquire with my new body. I gave her the choice of:
- Jammer
- Squarecut
- Brief
- Cheeky brief
- Tanga
- Thong
(I guess I should have also offered 'none' as an option)

But much to my surprise, she chose.... thong.

Not eek that I wouldn't do it, but just that I was not expecting that kind of a choice from her. I guess after all these years she can still surprise me sometimes.

Since she chose the smallest option available, I think you should ask if she would prefer a total overall tan.

Perhaps replace "Cheeky Brief" with the term "Bikini Brief" and "Tanga" with "String Brief" for more precise descriptions. Maybe it should be a "Swim Thong" rather than just a "Thong" as a swim thong will be Lycra based and more likely to have a waist cord.
