The Bottom Drawer Forums

Just curious, if anyone on the forum has had luck making thong/bikini friends in person? I’m on vacation, and tried to meet up with a fellow speedo enthusiast. Original plan was to meet up, and he had some suits for me to try on and discuss.
About 10 minutes into this, it became clear that speedo discussion was not the motive. I guess the suits were just some bait to get me over there.
After this failed attempt, it just made me wonder. Do any of you guys have friends that share your interest? I would really enjoy having platonic friends to discuss this with. Even try on stuff together, or compare collections. But seems impossible to do without one person turning it sexual.

I do have a platonic friend that we discuss underwear. He gifted me two cocksox thongs he got in the wrong size. We don’t live very far from each other but have only met up twice but chat frequently about purchases we have made. Nothing sexual has ever happened just chatting about underwear.

I do have 3 thong friends. the one lives in London and nowdays we have lost our contact. He wears thongs now and then, occasionaly. He doesnt like to talk about them anyway..for him the whole discussion about underwear is indifference.
The other is Nick. i think i have talk about him in other posts. He is a faithful thongwearer . as unerwear and swimwear, he lives in the same island as i am and i really enjoy his company. But again, he is getting bored talking about thongs. He likes them as clothing option but isnt something he will talk a lot about.
The third friend is a full time thonger...he doesnt has anything else and he didnt wear anything else since he was 24 years old or since the day we met.
( We met when he was 27).
He is indeed a platonic friend.we both LOVE to talk about our thongs, give each other thongs as a gift, exchange underwear between us, share the feeling of fabrics, style,cuts everything.He has a wife now and usually i have a gf, so in front of them we dont speak about underwear.
only one time this happened, under spesific circustamces. ( we have been for a swim away from Athens, after the bath we all ( 2 gfs ansd us) changed to our thong underwear. He insisted to drive my mini cooper back to Athens.that car had a very uncomfortable driving position and my friend after 1,5 hour of driving, he felt his thong diging in his ass.so he started moving a little just to try to make things a bit more comfortable for him. I asked him what is going on, and he told to us that the back strap of his thong is killing him.....i proposed him to take it off,but he said no. Then his gf said : Carlo would prefer to die than to remove a back strap from his ass.... hehe).
but when we are alone...we love to talk and see each other in thongs.
perosonally, i am always open to know and talk with other thongers...

This is what I would really like. A bro to talk to about thongs and be able to flex about it with him in person. I have tried to chat online with other dudes but I dont think its the same as meeting in person.

To answer OPs question, this forum is as close as I've gotten to chatting with other guys. I have tried to facetime with other guys as well but that has failed; you can say these facetime encounters were similar experiences to the one OP had. For example, a guy I met on Instagram asked if we could facetime. I agreed. First thing I noticed was that he lied about who he was and the pictures he was posting on his account. Second thing I noticed was that he liked womens underwear, not mens underwear. Not that theres anything wrong with that, but its not what I am into.

You would think that living in a open-minded state like California you would find more guys that are into this topic, especially because of its constant sunny weather. But I have yet to find someone nearby.

I think its a bit of a tough though not impossible thing to setup. I always saw it as a bridal shower meets beach day as far as a successful meetup can be. Strut your stuff at the beach or some hotel pool with friends without feeling alone, and trade pairs or even get pairs at shops. Of course I think the tough thing about it is it really is about finding a friend first - common interest rather than voyeurism and the like FROM thongs or whatnot.

Hit it up with someone first and then branch out to chatting up thongs and whatnot is a good route, texting purchases and all that. Doing lingerie try ons together at a hotel may kind of border a bit of a tough thing to set up and go through though it shouldnt be anything more - guess thats where getting to know the person first helps. Could definitely be something a bit "risky" to get the wrong idea. But if someone here reports success, well you have someone to photoshoot you now!

Yes , I’ve successfully done this with two other straight guys …. Met up at pool and had a coffee and a swim Sauna , we still keep in touch …. It’s really nice to meet someone in person and both have been very nice . We talk about why we like our swimwear and our experiences with the women in our lives and it’s nice to connect . Really , if there were any movement towards any other less savoury topics then I’d just politely explain that is not for me and call it a day .
Swimwear talk leads a little to other things like personal issues and really it’s very helpful to talk about difficult times we have had or are having and that is particularly appropriate with all three of us . Here is to the future and nice friendships .

I have a friend who has another friend and I found out, to my surprise, that he also wears speedos. We occasionally meet at local get-togethers, but other than our mutual friend we don't talk too much to each other. He knows that I also like to wear speedos.

Maybe this summer if we end up at a pool party with a few friends, I might bring my speedos and wear them there. I rather be with a small group of people that I know don't make a big deal of a man wearing them. I wear them strictly for comfort and getting a better tan and not for attention.

There was this guy who sent me a DM from a Reddit group and was telling me about him liking thongs and that he wore them at a beach in Galveston. He did so shortly after I posted some of my speedo photos from my recent trip to Miami. I'm just skeptical and told him I might think about it, but preferably with a small group of people.

I've met several people in person with a mutual love of skimper undetwear and swimwear. In each case, we met first through an underwear site - just corresponding. Depending on the written conversation we would decide if we wanted to talk on the phone about our mutual love. It was always nice having a voice to associate with the name.
It was only after a number of correspondences and phone visits we would decide to meet in person. By the time we agreed to meet, I would feel comfortable enough with the guy to meet at a hotel for a gab fest and try on session. Always a lot of fun. Always exchanged st Least one pair.
Im from a very small town, so to meet always required some travel on my part...but it was worth it to met another like- minded fan!

All of my meet ups with other thongers have been platonic. Here I have laid out all of my encounters with other thongers.

1. My first meet up with a thonger was in 2017. At the time, I was a member of a French thong forum called String.forumparfait, and I got to know a local thonger through that website. We sent messages to each other, and eventually we decided to meet up for coffee. He had a car, so he came to my place to pick me up, and we went to a nearby Tim Hortons(Canadian Dunkin Donuts). We were there for about an hour and we just talked about our love for thongs. We stayed in touch on Instagram, but unfortunately, his wife found out that he was talking to other guys online and she wasn't too pleased. He eventually deleted his IG, and I don't know what he is up to these days.

2. In 2018, I got a message from a thonger from New York. He said he was visiting Montreal, and he wanted to meet up with me. He also had a car, so he picked me up. We first got lunch, and after that we went to a gay sauna. Haha don't worry guys. The gay sauna we went had a rooftop deck, so we went there to sunbathe in our thongs. We stayed there for about an hour or two, and luckily, nothing sexual happened while we were there. We then went to a nearby sex shop, and the thonger from New York bought a few Gregg Homme thongs to take home.

3. In 2019, I was at Hanlan's Point(nude beach) in Toronto, and a guy in a thong bodysuit came up to me asked if I was Kiyoothong on Thongboard. He said that he had read some of my posts on Thongboard. I was quite identifiable because I was the only other guy in a thong. After greeting each other, we decided to join towels. He was a really friendly guy. He shared his snacks and drinks with me, and he even wanted to get a photo with me. Later in the day, his friends joined, and one of them was a thonger. They then started drinking and smoking weed, but that wasn't my vibe so I left them and went somewhere else.

4. In 2022, I got to know a thonger from Indiana through Instagram. We became good buddies because we were both sports fans and we had some common interests. Last year, I invited him over and he stayed with me for 3 days. I gave him a tour of the city, and while touring around, we took some "whaletail" photos. But, we didn't do anything sexual. When we were home, he stayed in the master room and I used the guest room.

Unfortunately, I am not in touch with any one of them. The first guy had to get his life together because of his family, and the other three guys didn't live in my city and they all had something else going on. If you want these meet ups to carry on, you need to find more common interests.
