80s and 90s

But ...

First thongs
When I met the one who was to become my wife, she was wearing a very sexy black mini bikini-tanga... That must have influenced my interest in her! We got married two years later (1977) and I often gave her the smallest panties I could find in stores or order from the mail order ...

First bikinis!
Until around the age of 15 or 16, it was my mother who bought us our clothes, including our briefs. She did not take us to the shops in town for this (which we could have chosen). No, he passed a traveling salesman with his van, she bought us what he had or she ordered from his ...

Hello Nate: Thanks for the link, I went to register.
Hello Tanga-tanga :

Women's "culottes" (= panties) can be called "slips ...

Salut à toi grand chef and thank you for welcoming me here. Are you the one called Nate?
Yes I thought you were British and the blog started in the UK. It's great if there are participants from all over the world. I like everyone and I like to know from which country the people who talk to each ...

Good evening David and thank you for the welcome!
We have a bit of the same route but I'm not a fan of too minimalist briefs. I will tell my story on this topic when I have the time.
I will try to answer all your questions. No, I don't see many men in thongs and bikinis on the beaches anymore, there ...

Here are two brands of cotton bikinis that I bought, they are comfortable

Thank you for your wishes, David!
If I opened this topic it is to talk about my experience with the underwear and swimsuits that I have worn since adolescence and the thoughts I have about my attraction to different forms: bikinis, thongs and cheeky.
I should therefore address the problem of their ...
