Are pearl thongs actually sexy?

A friend recently showed me something called a pearl thong. They sell them at www.bracli.com/en/ for example. DH always likes it if I suggest sexy lingerie presents for him to buy for me (Christmas coming up) but looking at it, I am not actually sure its sexy.

Has anyone tried a pearl thong and are they actually something you found sexy?

Are whats what now?

TheQueef · 03/10/2018 10:47

They nip.
Bum hairs, pubes etc.

Even a traditional string of pearls nips.

You know, neck hairs unless you are doing it wrong.

Those pearls must go to places you didn't know you had

Haberdash · 03/10/2018 10:50

PortiaCastis Pretty sure I can name all the possible places :)

Oh gosh...I think I'd feel a bit silly with my labia just flapping about either side of that...

Not sexy...borderline strange

Haberdash · 03/10/2018 10:51

Thanks The Queef. That sounds bad.

Looks like I will have to think of something else sexy and expensive for DH to get me :)

I know what you mean Spam88 but I guess that could be sexy, in theory.

Do you have a very nice toned backside? If not thongs will not make you look sexy sorry!

If your backside is lovey and toned then a thong will be fine

VodkaRevelation · 03/10/2018 10:53

Sounds gross and difficult to clean. Sexy? No.

Maria1982 · 03/10/2018 10:54

Personally I think not sexy ... as others have said, it will be very uncomfortable!

However sexy is a matter of opinion -if you and your DH find it sexy then who are we to say? But you have doubts otherwise you wouldn’t be asking

Does anyone else remember the sex and the city episode where Samantha wears a pearl thong and ends up ripping it off in frustration while going up (many many) hotel stairs ??

thenightsky · 03/10/2018 10:55

I couldn't sit down in one of them... imagine it grinding against your coccyx bone. Eeek.

TheSpottedZebra · 03/10/2018 10:55

No matter how many times you repeat 'sexy and expensive' , no one's buying it.

Haberdash · 03/10/2018 10:56

PinkHeart5914 This feels funny to write but... my backside is not objectively great or toned but DH seems very keen on it. He does like me in a thong.

This could be my advanced years speaking but they just remind me of beaded car seat covers.

Thanks Maria1982. I just read some online reviews too which have totally put me off the idea. It's apparently hugely uncomfortable.

But surely you would take it off to have sex so it wouldn't stimulate anything? or is that not how thongs work

DioneTheDiabolist · 03/10/2018 10:59

I prefer to keep my pants and my love beads separate. Easier to clean, more versatile and way cheaper than £90.Shock

Haberdash · 03/10/2018 10:59

Racecardriver Right. It's just meant to look sexy and exciting.

Reminds me of Samantha from sex and the city!

What does this mean?

Racecardriver · 03/10/2018 11:02

I just looked this up. Apparently you are supposed to untie the end on the Pearl string then shove it up your vagina Shock

Are pearl thongs actually sexy?

If you are heterosexual, you are asking in the wrong place.

If you want proper input you need to get a cross section of men to tell you what they think.

Also bear in mind that sexiness is very subjective and an average view doesn't necessarily equate to the man you are dealing with.

Most men (an average) would find a young healthy toned woman with large breasts attractive. There are plenty of men who only get turned on by different things - very slim women with small breasts, very overweight women and so on. For every extreme, there is usually a dedicated porn stream somewhere.

You are totally wasting your time asking women what men find sexy. Even if you get the "well my husband likes it" response, bear in mind that in long term intimate relationships white lies abound -

I get turned on by dirty great granny pants but I can't bring myself to tell her.

She was so proud of her new underwear, I thought the right thing to do was pretend I loved it but I've always hated red/black/white underwear as it reminds me of prositutes/death/virgins.

I don't care what she wears but I act like I do because she takes so much time over it and it matters to her

Haberdash · 03/10/2018 11:06

I respectfully disagree Pinkandyellowandgreen. I find that women are often serious experts in what men find sexy. But it's also really important that I feel sexy too!
