It’s been somewhat of a hectic few weeks, trying to arrange everything for my trip to my parents home after nearly a decade. After the weariness of being told that I couldn’t wear my swim thong in no uncertain words the week prior, general exertion for work, worry and life, I was somewhat dejected from everything
So with that I wasn’t too keen on my selection of underwear while traveling home. Which was odd as I have had brought my thongs the last time I was over, but can’t remember if I did my own laundry or not.
So with that, I was looking for briefs and bikinis but couldn’t find anything except the run of the mill, dull, boring briefs or the otherwise ubiquitous boxer briefs galore that every single clothing store seemed to stock. So I figured I’d get some after I’d reached home where briefs are more common and bikinis would be more readily available as well.
As a stop gap I packed my boxer briefs, and two of my synthetic bikinis. At the last moment I decided to pack my diesel 3-pack thongs and one aliexpress thong. I always tend to shorten the thong length as the makers of men’s under seem to not consider the rise and fit very much, however never got the chance.
I hadn’t figured I’d wear it much but after first day and showering I decided to wear my aliexpress thong. Then the next day the black diesel men’s thong. Surprisingly it fits somewhat well and don’t think I would need to adjust the thong strap.
It was the next day, after I’d worn it overnight, while scrolling through the Instagram feed and landing on a woman on a surf board that I realised that why is it that only women are seen as the purveyors and owners of having sensual clothes and acceptance? This even though I’ve made so much headway in not only being open in what I wear and fully shifted how I embraced my own views and rejected the forced paradigm of what men should or shouldn’t wear. Albeit, the recent while I have had some regression but overall the paradigm shift in what others think or feel hasn’t mostly been dispersed about how it would make me feel.
It’s an odd feeling but one that helps to coalesce and form into patterns, systems and modes of thought that can not only elucidate my experiences, but also understanding and dispelling the thoughtless, pre-programmed views of the general masses.
