BF buying used "panties" online

Sorry for the icky subject matter, but I can't tell anyone this in RL and just need to share it with someone.

I've been seeing a guy for just over a month and it's been going quite well so far. Although some may think that it's a bit soon to call him my BF, he is the one who suggested we date exclusively and who uses those titles.

Anyway, for some reason I've started to go off him a bit. He seems "too sweet to be wholesome" iyswim. Shamefully, I had a right old google. This may be seen as an invasion of privacy, but what I came across was posted publicly by him and I don't regret that I've caught him out in a way.

So he comes up on Pinterest (full name, photo, the works) and has pinned three pairs of "worn panties" to buy, in the last week.

Yes, he's a grown man and can spend his money on whatever he likes, but that's not really the point. Although we've been dating a relatively short time, we've grown close and spent a lot of time together, so I feel a bit betrayed that he's been buying/ at least looking at these things whilst with me. OTOH, I feel I've had a lucky escape.

How should I play this though? I have no desire to continue our relationship but I'm the kind of person where if I don't say how I feel, it will eat away at me. I fully know that I don't come across very well in this situation either though...

Thank you for reading and any advice on what I should say/do would be v much appreciated.

Oh no MadeMan, than would be Pants Tango and Cash.

MadeMan · 01/05/2015 22:50

Or, Tango and Pants Cash?

That sounds almost like a game in itself; a sort of Rock Paper Scissors.

My friend at college used to sell her used Knicks.

She'd wear four pairs at a time and wee through them. You couldn't fault her efficiency.

RubbishMantra · 02/05/2015 00:35

I got there first with a Fistful Of Pants Celtic. No cheating please!

but you probably are clutching an actual fistful of pants

Will have to ask DH if you win points for re-enacting it.

getsomehelp · 02/05/2015 07:47

Just weird. but hilarious when you think of how much you can sell knickers to these wierdos for, I will advise my student daughter, she could let the new puppy drag a crateful of thunder pants thru the bushes.

MadeMan · 02/05/2015 10:22

Surely you can't sell used knickers on Ebay though, they even stopped someone selling their Jay Leno shaped crackers and there's not much weird about that.

MadeMan · 02/05/2015 10:26

"She'd wear four pairs at a time and wee through them."

Could she sell the knickers and wee separately so people can add as much, or as little as they like? Salt 'n' Shake crisps were invented for this very reason and sometimes they're better without the salt.

People get a bit daft about fetishes. No one really asks to have a fetish, it doesn't have to mean anything particular about who they are as a person! Yes it's weird, that's why it's a fetish rather than bog standard sex. I would struggle big-time to stay with a partner whose fetish grossed me out, it's a perfectly valid reason to break up. But that wouldn't really be his fault.

For every person saying he should be sniffing the OP's knickers and not some strange woman's, I bet there'd be someone else full of outrage if he'd dared ask for something like that after a month of dating!

Celtic, sorry, I don't agree, but apparently you think your fetish of buying dirty knickers & sniffing them is OK. We live on an entirely different planet.

RubbishMantra · 02/05/2015 22:45

Oh, it's not harming anyone Getsome. It's all consensual. Just pants at the end of the day.

Anyway...

Remains Pants of the Day

Or even Remains of the Day Pants - you know, for the holey scraggy elastic gone ones.

For the people who don't think the fetish is OK - what exactly do you think fetishes are and how do they arise? Do you think they're something you can choose not to have? Think of the thing you like best in bed, the thing that gets you off every time. Could you just stop liking that? What would you do if everyone thought it was disgusting? What would you do then if you met someone who didn't think it was disgusting and was happy to do it with you?

You don't have to like the idea of a fetish or to find someone with that fetish attractive, but fgs try and think about it on a level beyond a school playground "ewwww".
