Men wearing pantyhose. Is it acceptable? Is it common?

Question

In the U.S.?, In Europe? How do women feel about a man wearing pantyhose? Are you for or against or it really doesn't matter

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with a man wearing pantyhose at all. Men have worn stockings for years, long before women discovered them. Just look at some of the early painting of men in hose. It wasn't until the '60s that pantyhose made the scene.

Pantyhose not only feels great on the legs, but have other major pluses to them.

First they can help keep you legs warm when it is cold. If you suffer from leg pains, they can help relieve them has they help circulation.

For some men may even suffer from jock-itch. Pantyhose helps relieve the burning itching by placing a thin, form fitting piece of fabric around the thighs preventing skin-to-skin contact and wicking away moisture. In many cases, this can cure jock itch with medication.

So, why not go out a buy a few pair and enjoy yourself.

Answer 2

I can't answer your questions with respect to Europe, but I'm quite certain that, here in the U.S., it's more common than you would think. Is it acceptable? I don't see why it wouldn't be. Many of the people that answered this question already, made assumptions about a guy wearing hose - most of them incorrect. For example, a woman who finds hose uncomfortable, can't imagine a guy actually liking them. It's quite likely however, that that woman, just like her bra (or dress) size, buys one too small of pantyhose size. So her experience is that they're uncomfortable. If OTOH, she bought a reasonable quality pair that actually fit her, she might be more inclined to like them.

The other assumption is linking clothing preferences to sexual fetish. Again, not necessarily true. Although some men do have such a fetish, it is largely in part because they're doing (wearing) something that is taboo.

My last point is this: many women criticize (ostracize) men who enjoy wearing something like pantyhose, but these same women will not hesitate to put on some plain old blue jeans, t-shirt, running shoes and baseball cap.

i don't know how common it is but i think men in pantyhose is a wonderful idea - i love too wear pantyhose as well

Answer 4

I wished I would have been wearing pantyhose after my knee surgery. I wouldn't have gotten D.V.T. no thank to the doctor.

Answer 5

Now, you know darn well that most men who wear pantyhose are doing it just for the sexual stimulation. If you want to feel stimulated and naughty while you're at work, go ahead and wear them.

I, however, was raised with over 20 neighbourhood jocks around me. Only one of them wears pantyhose. And his reasons are obvious. Are you, too, a cross dresser?

Personally, I can't see myself being attracted to a man that needs to wear women's clothing in order to get stimulated.

Sorry.

Answer 8

Against. Come on, we gotta draw the line somewhere. If men start shopping at Victoria Secret next I'm going to have to protest...lol. ;) There are just some things that are gender specified and therefore, make it special.
