Girls: Why the double standards about panties vs boxers?

[Anonymous]

I've wanted to try on panties just because I'm curious about it. For me it's not about cross-dressing at all. I guess it's mainly that it's taboo, and since I'm a masculine guy I thought it would be hot with the contrast of something feminine. Some girls think the guy is gay if he wears panties, but I don't see how that's even remotely the case. Are girls who wear their boyfriend's boxers or men's shirts lesbian? Women can wear pants (used to be only for men) without being called cross-dressers, but a guy who just wants to try on panties is called gay and a cross-dresser? As I mentioned, I feel that I'm pretty masculine. That's why I'd feel secure enough to wear panties. I wouldn't do that all the time, though, and I'd dress like a guy in general. Why should I be seen as feminine for trying on panties, if girls can wear pants, or wear their boyfriend's boxers and men's shirts without being called masculine? What's the big deal, ladies?

for girls it's more about comfort and sometimes not wanting to show off more than they have to. I wear boxers because they cover more and they're WAY more comfortable. I think the double standards is because when you think of a guy you think masculine and you don't really want a guy who can cram himself into girls pants. you want him to need a little more leg room. also I can't imagine it's very comfortable in there so I wouldn't see the atttraction. it's the same as we wouldn't want you wearing one of our dresses I guess

What if it turns the guy on? Is it all about how the girl feels about it?

[flatironguy]

One thing about guys in dresses. While I do agree that it just seems a little weird, I have on a couple occasions gone with William Wallace for costume events and I have to say it is amazingly comfortable to wear a kilt.

[nom1394]

Kilts are awesome :) and if it turns the guy on then I'd be open minded you'd just rather your guy was turned on by the girl who wears the panties

[Asker]

Dresses aren't the same thing, but you could say that it's along the same lines of logic.

Im a straight guy and I crossdress from time to time. But panties are totally a comfort thing with me. When wearing the right size I find them to be more comfy than boxers and I love the girly designs on them. And I also wear bras, skirts, dresses, make up, nail polish, at times but I mostly just wear panties right now im wearing a pink laced thong and a blue bra. I need more panties, and bras.

Wear WHATEVER you want!!! I know a few guys that wear panties... one of them ALL the time. Just go with a style that's not bikini... not much room for your balls... and don't want them overheating - unless you don't want kids.

[mitch1200]

What style would you recommend

[Opinion Owner]

@mitch1200 hi-cuts.

[mitch1200]

Is it close to like hipsters

[Opinion Owner]

@mitch1200 nope.

[mitch1200]

Are they like grandma panties

[Opinion Owner]

@mitch1200 no not at all. Google hi-cuts or French-cut.

I wouldn't assume that a guy is gay for cross-dressing, as I know this is often not the case. I just personally find it extremely unattractive.

[flatironguy]

As long as you're secure with yourself go with what makes you happy. Personally I don't see the appeal. It would be like wearing really tight briefs and I won't wear normal briefs. I mean they were designed for women, who are distinctly lacking the need for extra room in the front. But maybe you like the idea of showing that off, who knows.

Why does it have to be women's panties? There are many options online (Amazon) for men's underwear in synthetic and microfabric in low rise briefs, bikini, cheeky, and thongs. They are cut to fit a man's body and are super comfortable, so you don't have to resort to wearing actual women's panties.

[inlovesince092111]

No big deal. Do what makes you happy. :)

[BLP11520]

I am , so panties it is.

[dtaylor31906]

ok if you really felt that secure in your masculinity why did you post this anonymous?

All people are different I guess... but why would you want to, to begin with? I don't understand how some guys want to try that and I can't imagine for it to even be posible to fit into them let alone wear them : /

[ilovepanties]

i wear only panties every day i would never go back to wearing mens

[Dez_37_46]

You should wear whatever you want. They’re your underwear and it’s your choice. Also it’s underwear, so it’s not like anyone is going to see them unless you want them to. Wearing panties or boxers doesn’t define your sexuality. So wear them if you want or don’t, no one has to know.

[Interested2234]

There are so many fun types of panties. I love wearing them and think they are comfortable.

[Hannah202]

Just wear boxers

[Abbypink420]

I do but tbh I find panties to be way more comfy, and I love the girly designs on them. I also full on crossdress from time to time. Right now im wearing a pink laced thong and a blue bra. You girls take it for granted being able to wear panties, bras, dresses, make up, nail polish, etc without being verbally attacked. Way I see it they are just clothes.

[Anon-ymous1]

Weird.

[Deathraider]

Well do what pleases you. I honestly think that society needs to be more accepting of these kinds of stuff.

[BLP11520]

90% of guys who tried panties as a boy wear them today. Unless you want to wear panties all the time do not start. Some do it on and off. Panties are very very comfortable if you find the right kind. Many a man is addicted to 100% nylon panties which are not as plentiful as they once were. Most men's underwear is hot and bulky and made for men with huge penises.

Just go for it. Grab a dirty pair out of the hamper and give them a try. You won't look back.
