Does this sound weird to anyone?

I Have name changed to write this as it is sensitive.Dh and I have been married for 9 years and our marriage has been up and down. We have especailly had problems with sex which we are both currently seeing a relate counsellor. I found out yesterday by mistake that my husband has an e mail address I did not know about. I found out by opening a parcel that was sent to him (I know very V V bad of me) the parcel contained men's underwear which I would describe as erotic and not the type he wears normally. I have found pants hidden in his sports bag before of this type but never seen him wear them, they have never been through the wash (i know I do all the washing!) and the ones I have found before he has obviously ejaculated in. He has also had other deliveries of mens pants which have never turned up in his pant drawer. He told me when I asked about the email address that he had only used it for recruitment and to order a shed. When I asked if he had ordered anyhting else he said no. I resealed the parcel and left it on the side with the rest of his post and I saw him pick it up and rush off with it. I have looked everywhere to find it as I thought if he had simply ordered some new pants he would have said, when I asked him what the parcel was but he said it was nothing, just something for work. If it was innocent why did he lie? Am I being paranoid? I know I should trust him and not be sneaking about opening his post I am just desperate to know what is in his mind (He does not talk about his feelings much) If he likes to wear these pants to masturbate I would be OK with it, I just want him to share is feelings with me. All sorts of things go through my mind! What do you think?

I have to say I'm right alongside 2010dad on the masturbating thing.

Oh.. I don't mean...

Poshwellies · 18/06/2010 16:48

That's the thing with fetishes,it's a personal thang.

While you don't find it a turn on 2010Dad,the OP's dh obviously does.

I wouldn't say it makes him bi/gay/whatever.

He might just like wearing tightfitting pants and he feeling it gives him.

Poshwellies · 18/06/2010 16:49

*the not he

Well, I have news for us all. Eagerly Googling for more information about trends in male underwear, I found some wonderful essays by self-styled expert on male sexuality, David Sebringsil.

According to Mr Sebringsil, both pouched shorts and jockstraps make lonely nights more interesting.
cf:
"To Pouch Or Not To Pouch"
"A Thonging Primer"
"Thongwear" - see "Nightly (or Recreational) Wear"

I have now learned my Daily New Thing (or Thong, haha)

Poshwellies · 18/06/2010 16:53

David Sebringsil sounds a lonely sad chap

lazarusb · 18/06/2010 16:53

I hate to say this but...how do you know it was him that ejaculated in the pants you found? I know that is grim, sorry.

Hullygully · 18/06/2010 16:55

I think it's nice that he has an interest. It's better than snooker.

Mittz · 18/06/2010 16:56

Well, when I feel the desire to 'entertain' myself, I might be wearing a satin nightie, but I assume that doesn't qualify me as a lesbian. I also get a giggle from the benefits of a nice fitting, shaping bra and have a squidge now and again. Again, I am not gay or bi (that I know of).

So I don't quite get the gay connection as an assumption.

I am undecided about the secrecy thing. On the one hand I think what's the big deal for him? I assume you don't buy your underwear in 'secrecy' and hide them? But also agree that being married or in a partnership doesn't give you rights over each others every waking thought. Maybe he thinks you won't approve? tell him they turn you on and would be happy to share whatever his fantasy is?

Despite no experience, I have alluded to the lesbian fantasy but my ex partner would have felt very threatened by it. It's a difficult one. We don't completely 'choose' what turns us on and sometimes I think it can be our own shame and self judgement that causes secrecy and embarrassment, which in itself can become a part of the thrill.

So, no constructive advice there then... erm.. as you were

Mittz · 18/06/2010 16:57

Snort at this Hully... my DS is in the room and I can't laugh but am shaking internally

foureleven · 18/06/2010 16:59

I dont think there is any problem with him wanting to wear nice pants... but I do think the secrecy is very weird... I agree unfortunately that it may not have been him that ejaculated in the pants..

and umm.. why would he have done that anyway.. if he was wanking off (sorry) in private wouldnt it be in the toilet or shower? Why would it be in his pants. I would suggest he's been to a strip club at best... dogging at worst...

Sorry to be doom and gloom but he is hiding something for sure. I agree, bring it up in one of your sessions. the councellor will know how to manage it.

Poshwellies · 18/06/2010 17:01

'I would suggest he's been to a strip club at best... dogging at worst...'

Whaaat>?

foureleven · 18/06/2010 17:02

Unless you are a bit uptight (for want of a better word)and he feels like he cant tell you that he wants to wear nice pants..?

I am also sorry about the level of comedy in some of the replies, it doesnt sound like something Id find funny if it was happening in my relationship.

Hullygully · 18/06/2010 17:05

Does he show any interest in novelty socks?

stubbornhubby · 18/06/2010 17:07

I am struggling to picture a scenario where somebody else ejaculates into your pants

Hullygully · 18/06/2010 17:08

stbborn - this happened to a friend of mine on a very crowded bus. It's more common that you think.

IsGraceAvailable · 18/06/2010 17:08

Foureleven, I went off to find out whether certain pants are considered auto-erotic by some men - answer: yes. I apologise for my little joke, but at least I haven't leapt to strange conclusions about strip clubs & dogging ...
... unless they have special strip clubs for thong-sporting men round where you live?

foureleven · 18/06/2010 17:09

stubbornhubby, I think the suggestion is that he is buying them for someone else to wear who may have ejaculated in them.. if he doesnt normally wear this kind of thing they may not be for him.

poshwellies - If he wasnt watching something erotic then why else would he have come in his pants...? I cant think of anywhere else he could have gone to watch something erotic...

foureleven · 18/06/2010 17:10

hullygully someone you know was on a crowded bus and had someone else ejaculate in to their pants....??!!! Thats awful.

Poshwellies · 18/06/2010 17:11

Foureleven-Do you think that men need to go to strip clubs or dogging to get off in their pants?

Okaaay...

stubbornhubby · 18/06/2010 17:11

foureleven ah.. for someone else who ejaculates into them .... and then gives them back to him to be handwashed.

he's got secret ... husband

foureleven · 18/06/2010 17:12

well yes kind of.. when else would they?

I mean the only time I would expect DP to come in his pants is if I was teasing him outrageously..

IsGraceAvailable · 18/06/2010 17:13

I have a theory. The soiled ones were in his sports bag, so perhaps he wears them while he's working out, and the rhythmic friction makes his exercise more ... interesting. Nobody at the gym would think twice if he went "AH!" after 150 rapid crunches, would they?

I should never have read those essays.

foureleven · 18/06/2010 17:14

I said at best strip clubs (i.e. some women would be ok with that) and at worse dogging (i.e. the worse possible thing he could be doing. Theres other stuff in between like with another woman/man etc but I cant think of any time when a man would come in his pants on his own...

Poshwellies · 18/06/2010 17:15

Well I'm not the op's husband so I can't tell you where he cracked one off-I would doubt it was in the local strip club though

Erotic thoughts and a simple wank can make a man ejaculate.Fancy that!

foureleven · 18/06/2010 17:17

but why would you wank in your pants if you were alone..?

Im not suggesting he cracked one off in a strip club Im saying that he most likely came in his pants sans wank and therefore he must have been somewhere wear he could look at something erotic no?

Come on 2010dad and stubborn hubby... have you ever wanked off in to your pants..???!!

Cant beleive im talking about this. It must be friday...!
