Have met a very nice man after being a single parent for years, we are getting on very well and is all new and exciting.I feel like surprising him tomorrow but am aware that often men and women find different things sexy and have no men to ask! can anyone help?

DP says a thong, which I must say suprised me He says it leaves a little something to the imagination, like un wrapping a present!

OrmIrian · 04/09/2009 20:44

I just took mine off in the kitchen. Just so DH doesn't forget what was on his mind earlier

midnightexpress · 04/09/2009 20:50

I just asked Dp and he says:

Not a thong. When I see a woman in a thong, it just makes me want to hoik her up by it. And it makes me think of smelly aresholes.

So. Make of that what you will.

OrmIrian... PMSL!!!!!!!!!!

I can see dh's face if I pulled down the PJ bottoms & peeled the knickers off....

FlamingoBingo · 04/09/2009 20:51

DH says 'no knickers'.

And then...'I don't really like thongs'.

mustrunmore · 04/09/2009 20:54

Ok, so I just asked dh and he said no knickers is too tarty, but when asked if there was a better alternative to thing he said 'hmm, crotchless?'

midnightexpress · 04/09/2009 20:55

...which is positively demure

Thanks for all the good advice. Just hoping it's not too cold either! Just one slightly grim question if anyone can help. Without knickers is there a potential disaster with liquid seepage leaving marks on my skirt?

Am assuming I will be mightily turned on just by seeing him again.Don't want to be utterly paranoid, will ruin the mood somewhat!

nice knickers. not thongs. something that actually covers you. something pretty.

Something to unwrap.

When everything's on show, it's somehow less exciting.

colditz · 04/09/2009 20:58

I personally think french knickers are fab. Comfortable, practical, and VERY pretty.

WineFlu · 04/09/2009 20:58

DH says no knickers or ideally nice French ones ... thongs apparently no go here too! I'd say go comfort but silky - it's cold out there now!

CarGirl · 04/09/2009 21:02

Dh said you may come across as a complete slapper, which ever you do.

colditz · 04/09/2009 21:05

French

Knickers

They are big, cannot be assumed slapperish as they cover so much, but men really like them

LaurieFairyCake · 04/09/2009 21:05

yes if you think you're going to have wet thighs just looking at him it's best to wear some proper pants

2rebecca · 04/09/2009 21:06

My bloke is into no knickers and suspenders and sitting opposite him in a (pretty deserted) train and slowly hitching your skirt up. Even talking about doing this when making love gets him very excited!

aRLcat · 04/09/2009 21:10

arwen, good q when I go without I wear a short, silky underskirt just in case, which protects my outer, visible skirt from any such occurrance.

PortBlacksandResident · 04/09/2009 21:10

LOL!

DH says

  1. French
  2. Nothing
  3. Please don't go for the thong!
ingles2 · 04/09/2009 21:11

dh says...
thongs are horrible
no pants is a bit tarty
he likes quite big pants
but wear whatever makes you comfortable

my DH emphatically says pull ups (hold up stockings) and no knickers

mooseloose · 04/09/2009 21:16

my dh is partial to red frilly knickers!

PortBlacksandResident · 04/09/2009 21:18

moose - does he look good in them?

GossipMonger · 04/09/2009 21:19

dh says post a photo of yourself in both and then we can decide!!!!

Overmydeadbody · 04/09/2009 21:20

No knickers.

The general concensus among the men I know is that thongs are not sexy.
