You are welcome. Yes there seems to be a troubling rise of political conservatism/populism in some European states in recent years. I haven't traveled in Europe but do keep up with current events. I was aware of your country's economic troubles. I hope these developments will not push the mens swimwear we enjoy into the fringes in the future there. I also think women should not be restricted from wearing what they want or being topless on beaches or at pools. I say this with all sincerity. We should not go back to the dark ages.ioanniskef wrote: Mon Aug 08, 2022 11:54 am Thank you Swimmer78 for your answer. You help me a lot to understand what was really hard to understand to me. The role of the religion was something i never think of it and yeah watching the political scene in Usa i see that it is a critical factor of influence behaviors and political acts. In Greece we are christian orthodox , but we do have absolute freedom in our lives.Freedom is the base of our religion .
But i have to say also that during the last 10 years, while we faced a serious economic crisis, the people in Greece, the big majority, seems to become more consernative. I can see it happening year by year in many aspects of social life.We became more consernative towards sexuality in general , freedom of speach, and so on.And i dont know when it will stop.The greek society , at least in my eyes, is not as liberal as used to be.
I totally agree about compromises in marriage. This is the only way to keep your mariage alive and be a happy husband. I was with a woman for almost 10 years and i know very well what you are saying.At first was very supporting with my thong underwear and swimwear. As the years passed and she stopped the gym, stopped excersise herself, becoming older ( she was older than me in first place) she began to felt insecure about her body image.Then she changed her attitude towards my thongs.She said that she is not feel ok with me thonging at the beach and she metioned various of reasons. Then she started being negative about my thong underwear.At first i obliged and for 1 summer i didnt worn thong swimwear, but i protested about thongs underwear.First because i didnt have any other type of undewear, so i had to buy new pairs. and secondly because was something that nobody see.its under-wear not out-wear.
Anyway for many reasons things was getting worst and worst between us and we divorsed.
But i really tried to keep our relationship. i wore speedos at the beach and bought 3-4 boxer briefs. but i felt like i am in prison.
Especially with boxer briefs i couldnt stand so much fabric.
So swimmer78 is there any percentage of time between thong and bikini wear?
a last thought : For me is really impossible to sleep at night with a thong.After so many years of thong wering, still i feel soooo good in them.What i mean is that they make me " upset" at least so if i wear one is certain that i cant sleep. The only times i slept, during the night, in a thong is when i was sooooo tired , so i just collapsed on bed after the day ended.
So, are you facing that "problem" or not?
I am roughly 50/50 on wearing bikinis and thongs lately.I wear the Doreanse Air thong to bed. It's very light and soft and I almost can't feel it. At first it excited me a little, but now have no problems sleeping with it on. I need to purchase some new thong underwear.
