This topic has come up during email exchanges so this seems like a good place to get out my views so I can get back to work and not drop a nail gun on my work boots (they're not steel toed). lol
Ok, part of me does cringe when I use the word "panty" in reference to our beloved green silkies under-brief, liner, or whatever you want to call it. Any feminization of the masculine, I admit, is not appealing or attractive to me in general. I don't make a habit of spitting or scratching my balls in public to prove my masculinity or feel I even need to prove it to anyone at all. I am very comfortable being me and who I am and if someone happens to think it's masculine or not, I will sleep just as well at night without feeling I need to dress or act or be any certain way to enhance my appearance or perceived masculinity--much less worry about it. I personally am not attracted to feminine men, but I can appreciate a good drag queen or female impersonator and am not afraid to cry when I hear a Sousa march (Washington Post always does it for me). This board is about men who like (and one assumes wears) 100% nylon tricot in it's various forms. If you like to wear fuzzy slippers or steel toed work boots around the house, this board is about your cock and balls hanging in silky nylon tricot--with maybe a little dried DNA here or there as well. I guess this is like my "mission statement" for this blog. Tune in or tune out--but turn on with nylon.
Ok, please, no applause, I'm on a roll here......... I guess we hold the USMC as the epitome of masculinity. The beefy, short haired, rugged, sex-on-a-stick, dumb-as-dirt, hunk who is oblivious to his testosterone radiating good old boy, obedient marine. (did I miss anything?) So, the USMC hands this virtue of manhood a pair of silky, semi-sheer, nylon tricot shorts with an inner__________ and is told to wear them (along with all of his fellow marines). He not only wears them for pt, but he uses them for underwear, loungewear, and sleepwear as well. In fact, the USMC named them green silkies and it's an almost inside joke that these guys do like to wear them. On some level they must recognize that their inner liner looks like what their mom or sisters wore while he was growing up and then there's another larger layer over that--but that's ok. The US Marine Corps required them, they're olive drab, they dry fast, they're light weight, and, oh yeah, almost forgot, they're made out of 100% nylon tricot.
Out in the real world (as opposed to the military world), the association with nylon tricot is now mostly feminine. Those who don't remember the "Golden Age of Nylon" in the 70's and early 80's when a guy could go into Sears and buy nylon tricot briefs or shorts, t-shirts or tank tops, a dress or casual shirt and maybe even some parachute pants and then go to the beach and wear a nylon Speedo because all the guys had them on and then go home and sleep in his nylon tricot pajamas after taking off his nylon tricot robe and maybe even crawl into DuPont or Cannon Nylon sheets. All perfectly normal--and VERY enjoyable. Then along came the cotton lobby and told us nylon was hot and sweaty and caused yeast infections and was associated with disco, and shorts needed to cover our knees, etc. Ever listen to Professor Harold Hill's song in "Music Man" about trouble in River City that rhymes with............nylon? lol
So the only place left for silky nylon tricot was back into the lingerie drawer. Ever think about the fact that MEN created nylon tricot panties, slips, and all that stuff? Yeah, they created it for their women to wear--but who bought it for them, wanted them to wear it, enjoyed feeling it, etc.? The enjoyment of nylon tricot was putting it on their sex objects and getting turned on by seeing it and ultimately feeling it. The whole sensual, sexual nature of nylon tricot has been around since 1938 (I have not) and has come in and out of fashion over the years--mostly out right now. Although it is funny now how they have "almost nylon tricot" microber shirts, underwear and things out there for men right now and it's ok as long as you say "it wicks moisture away from your body." Somehow nylon went from sweaty to fast drying and wicking away moisture--which, of course, it always did do in the first place. Ever have to wear your cotton briefs under your denim cutoff after being in the water? A nylon Speedo was a big step up the ladder growing up for me.
Ok, so, now that you've had your dinner and walked the dog, the use of the "P" word was where this thesis was supposed to be headed. Part of me understands and part of me wants to say "get over it already." For some, the epitome of marine masculinity standing there with his manhood hanging in a thin layer of nylon tricot with thin elastic on his legs and oblivious to it all is a turn on. Of course we would expect a marine to be the first one to yell "fag" and punch out a guy if he was standing there in a nylon panty next to him, but it's ok if you're wearing a green silky. For many of us who discovered nylon tricot in our sister's underwear drawer and, in my case, had the crap beat out of him by his father for doing so, the wearing our earliest, innocent, non-sexist article of nylon tricot underwear that just happened to be something called a panty made legitimate later as a nylon Speedo or a Jockey nylon brief or a liner inside green silkies is really what it's all about. That may be difficult for some who are actually wearing panties because they are feminine as opposed to some who would wear them because they just happen to be nylon--and one from an earliest association.
This may sound like I'm trying to justify more than explain. Each of us has our own reasons for enjoying nylon tricot. Maybe it's not even wearing it but enjoying seeing others (men or women) wearing it. Maybe it's associated with the swim coach or track star or policeman wearing a nylon uniform shirt (there is a HUGE nylon shirt association in England as nylon shirts were once very common there). Maybe it's the way it outlines the body or mushroom cockhead, the way it feels wearing or rubbing or whatever. So using the "P" word to describe a garment that is normally associated with something feminine is, for some of us, just a reference to a pair of underpants we had to sneak out of our sister's drawer, hamper, neighbor's clothes line because we enjoyed how it felt. I don't know how or why it began or has stayed or grew the way it did, I do know that while relationships (long and short) have come, gone and continue that the nylon tricot is still here and still provides an enjoyment and comfort on a physical, emotional, and certainly sexual level. I no longer feel the need to hide, explain or alter my enjoyment of it. I just need to figure out a way to take it all with me!
And just to remind you all, this is what life would be like without nylon on......... (see above photos!)
