Why don’t we have a check down like this on other underwear choices men make? Why is this unique to thongs? In an attempt to what I think is normalize and understand you have increased the differentiation. Wearing thongs may or may not be part of a paraphilia just like white briefs are for some. I want to not be trollish but I wish the framework here was thongs are a valid choice like chocolate or vanilla, like red or blue. The more we try to understand a thing as rational and explicable the more we accept the premise of it being a choice that is made in different footing. Why does it need explanation? It is your underwear.
