OH Wearing Womens Underwear

I have been with my new partner for around 8 months, the other day I found around 10 bodysuits and shape ware in his underwear draws. When I asked him what they were he says he enjoys wearing them and actually wears them most of the time under his usual clothes.

Not sure what to make of this, he says its not sexual he just likes the feel of the fabric and it encasing his body. He even commented on liking how they shaped his bum and the slight padding in the them. These are note sexy bodysuites jus the sort you sling on under your normal clothes of a dress.

Is this normal, what should I do? It just seems really really strange. And obviously he has been trying to avoid the situation as when we are together he wears male underwear, well when I have been close enough to find out anyway

Honestly I’d be uncomfortable with the thought of my husband in women’s shape ware and padding his bum in women’s shape ware like that, and enjoying it. He clearly does it regularly if he has about ten items,

For some it would be ok, for me that would be a massive turn off.

I wouldn’t like it tbh it would be a deal breaker for me.

Yeah, it's a no from me too.

I've had experience of this, although it wasn't shapewear. I was also told it's because it's about the feel. It wasn't, it was sexual. I also made it a dealbreaker eventually but it was just hidden instead. It definitely gave me the ick as as soon as I knew about it, it was no longer kept hidden and it got more and more. So from the odd occasion to most days, from only at home to out and about. More women's underwear than male in the end. Killed it for me completely.

@Naunet - I don’t think anyone here is pretending men and women are the same, just that some people are quick to judge and their happens a lot more with men liking women’s things than the other way round. This happens across the board even with jobs that have been traditionally female such as nursery teacher and nursing. It seems a lot of people jump to sexualising these preferences with men than women as well - but that may say a lot more about the accuser than the accused!

I’m very impressed you’ve met such a large sample of men who wear women’s underwear for a sexual aspect, enough to form your hypothesis. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when you carried out that questionnaire! I’ve only ever met one man who liked to wear shapewear and that was for cycling!

He could wear under armour instead, but he obviously chooses not to.
I’d be walking away.
