       No, it's not an advertisement. I'm just saying, why should women have all the fun? Men want to feel handsome/studly just like women want to feel pretty. Why not attractive, sensuous underfashions for men? Why NOT satiny briefs with marabou linings or menthol?

       I propose a whole store.
Mayfly, Aug 10 2001
  

       I propose a hole store. Need a hole? We can make you one! No hole too big, no hole too small.
CoolerKing, Aug 10 2001
  

       I don't need a whole hole. Could I have half a hole, please?

       Apparently you haven't been to West Hollywood, CA

       Ringo: I've got a hole in me pocket! Well, actually it's only half a hole. I gave the other half to Jeremy.   

       George: What is Jeremy going to do with half a hole?   

       Ringo: Find another half of a hole and then he'll have a whole hole!

       In general women aren't as tantalized by presentation as men tend to be. In fact, such adornment is the sort of fussiness considered unmasculine in our society, so that many women would only find it humorous or even a total turn-off.

       If anyone want to know where to buy these things, ask your girlfriend. There's a 90% chance she will know EXACTLY where to get them for you.
CasaLoco, Aug 10 2001
  

       Oh, but Thingy . . . tell me you wouldn't love the feeling of marabou or menthol next to the ol' one-eyed matinee idol and his two co-stars . . . .
Sparki, Aug 10 2001
  

       [mwburden]: By any chance is there a girl with kaleidoscope hair anywhere near you?
CoolerKing, Aug 10 2001
  

       Marabou? Menthol? What the hell . . .?
mrthingy, Aug 10 2001
  

       Thingy, I mentioned that if there WERE intimate apparel boutiques for men, among their merchandise could be briefs and g/strings lined with marabou (so soft and tickly) or impregnated with menthol (for an invigorating tingle)
Sparki, Aug 10 2001
  

       I have no idea what marabou is or why one would wear menthol.
mrthingy, Aug 10 2001, last modified Aug 13 2001
  

       I have known (ahem) quite a few straight men who would have liked feathers and such. This is really a social question, I think. Right now expressing the need to look scrumptious (except as a bit of pillow talk with your lover) is too unmanly for most men. This is sexist and must totally stop. Take to the streets boys!

       Silk boxers rock my world.

       Mephista, did you just get religion or something? You seem to be going out of your way to be offended at things. The 'puerile hole jokes' are all picking on an amusing misspelling.
StarChaser, Aug 11 2001
  

       I think the need here is not for the particular store, but a modification of gender roles or standards of beauty. Of course, that would turn the idea into a WIBNI...
bookworm, Aug 11 2001
  

       Woah, woah, woah! Once again Mephista is going around tarnishing the good name of half-bakers. My hole joke was simply a play on words, and had absolutely no sexual connotations. Hole as in drilled/dug hole, OK? As in making a hole in something? If others want to refer to a whore-house as a hole store, that's their perogative, but that was never my intention. It's very rare that other half-bakers piss me off, but your taking offense at everything and flaming everyone for it is really starting to get to me.
CoolerKing, Aug 11 2001
  

       Thingy, marabou is soft, fuzzy feathers. Can you imagine THAT lining your briefs or g-string, imparting a delightful soft tickle? And impregnating the inside of your briefs or g-string with menthol would make the ol' one eyed matinee idol and his two co-stars feel all nice and tingly
Sparki, Aug 17 2001
  

       Fishbone. I can't imagine the Victor's Secret website grinding to a halt during a much-publicised underwear fashion show webcast.
serendipity, Aug 17 2001, last modified Aug 20 2001
  

       I love this idea. Romantic night in my house: Female in satin nightie sips champagne with male in grey underwear and t-shirt. Plenty of women would buy these things for their men.
Onalee, Aug 25 2001
  

       Oh I see: impregnated with *menthol*. I read that and thought you'd said impregnated with methanol. Imagine my distress at the thought of methanol-soaked undies.
Skinny Rob, Aug 25 2001
  

       mephista i thought you were a bloke   

       do you remember barry evans in a corset thing in eastenders? not a pretty sight   

       my idea of sexy is a man in greasy mechanics overalls
po, Aug 26 2001
  

       men in g-strings with feathers? ew.
LaLaLaLola, Aug 31 2001
  

       Uh, Lola, the feathers would be on the INSIDE, imparting a delightful tickle to the ol' one-eyed matinee idol and his two co-stars
Sparki, Sep 01 2001
  

       Real men wear chainmail boxers. Feathers be damned.   

       [emits series of Tim-Allen-esque grunts]
jester, Sep 02 2001
  

       There is absolutely no need for mentholated underwear!!! eww... what woman/man is going to be tantalized by "halls" penis?
Kymm, Mar 20 2003
  

       Isn't methanol flammable! That would be a fire hazzard!
JesseOQ, Aug 01 2003
  

       Look, real men don't wear anything under their Kilts!   

       Men wear briefs impregnated with methane.
