How Did Guys Wind Up Wearing Nylon Tricot Anyway?

Wish the title could be "How Do..." rather than "How Did.." since it would mean that there is nylon tricot out there that regular guys might accidentally come across and would check it out--either from curiosity or maybe as a gift from their boyfriend or girlfriend who wanted to see them in them, maybe from their coach, maybe from their LDS church, or even accidentally when they just grabbed that package of briefs and didn't notice it said NYLON on them.  

I was just thinking the other day how long it's been since I've seen a guy bend over or his shirt ride up and catch a glimpse of some kind of nylon underwear.  There are occasional glimpses of LDS guys wearing a nylon garment, very rarely an Aussiebum nylon suit, and more commonly the "dazzle" shorts (actually a silky polyester) that almost always have a pair of cotton briefs between the wearer and his silky shorts.

Back when nylon was still available, if a guy wanted to look sexy and wear a Speedo (or Dolfin, Arena,  or any of the dozen other silky nylon tricot brands available that looked similar), they could go to any sporting good store or even many large department stores--although they often had some off brand.  Whether it was fashion motivation or sexy looking or even speed in the water, some guys would take the initiative to go out and find one to buy.  Some might even have found an excuse to wear them as underwear with excuses like "I haven't done laundry in 2 weeks," "I might hit the beach after work," or "I use them instead of a jock under my shorts."

Being part of a team where "all the guys wear them."  Nothing like male bonding in nylon.  Maybe a coach handed them to wear.  They pulled down their cotton briefs in the locker room and held that silky nylon tricot for the first time (and noticed how silky it felt between their fingers) and slipped them on pulling them up into place.  If you've never seen a guy slip into nylon for the first time, it takes about 5 seconds before they grab their goods over the silky nylon and say something like "Silky!" or "Feels good!"

Of course some guys aren't lucky enough to get handed their first nylon tricot--for some it's nylon/lycra.  Heavier duty lycra for things like wrestling which involve direct body contact wearing the same thing and being able to legitimately feel (grab) the other guy's singlet is pretty hot.  This guy has some pretty obvious briefs on underneath.

Imagine getting to puberty and discovering you have a choice on what kind of material your underwear is made out of that your church wants you to wear 24/7?  Of course if you are an LDS, you have probably already checked out your dad's or brother's or uncle's garments and already knew that silky nylon tricot (which the church called Corban to avoid any connection to what girls wore as nylon panties).  You wouldn't even need an excuse or have to hide the fact that you were a teenager in nylon tricot.

I've never actually seen the ribbed version of Jockey nylon briefs--only their tank/athletic/vest shirts.  Early nylon underwear had the same wide exposed waistband as cotton briefs with Jockey being the only brand that had their name posted.  All the others had lines or dashes (like JCP or Sears).  Since most men or boys relied on their wives or mothers to buy their underwear, their probably wasn't much chance that they would buy their man/boys underwear that was made out of the same silky nylon material that they got to wear as panties, slips that slid over them or nightgowns to sleep in--and turn on their husbands who enjoyed feel them while giving the sausage.

Maybe a few mothers might have fallen for the claims in the ads about nylon not shrinking or drying fast or being a new wonder material, but the reality is that any boy caught wearing nylon tricot briefs--even if they were made for their sex, had a regular waistband and even fly openings, would probably have been really ridiculed.  It was very uncool to have your underwear seen and your buddies seeing you in nylon underwear would have really been a problem.

Some jobs required that you wore a nylon suit like being a lifeguard.  Imagine having to spend 10 hours a day in a nylon suit?  Wouldn't take long to decide that there really wasn't much point in wearing your cotton briefs to work and changing into your nylon suit--might as well just wear them from the time you got up.  Of course you'd need more than 2 or 3 pairs since you were wearing them everyday.  Wonder how long it took them to notice that the longer you wear nylon tricot like that, the silkier they get?

Some guys didn't need to be told how good they felt or even cared about what anyone else thought.  This guy is actually feeling a pair of nylon tricot Ocean Champions but they are the later version that didn't have the sliding layers like the older styles did.

Have you guys ever seen the Mossy Oak line in hunting or sporting good stores?  When they first came out, it was really silky and sometimes even a silky lycra version that wasn't too bad.  I don't know if these are the really silky kind or not--or if there is a double layer that slides or not.  I'm not sure why hunters would need to wear silky nylon came underwear other than to pleasure themselves while waiting.

Not that I have anything against mouths and cocks but when your body is covered in a silky nylon tricot LDS garment, I would sure take advantage of that for the eventual ejaculation of your man juice.

I have these in red and these 100% nylon tricot Speedos are still in great shape from the 70's.

It's a no brainer if you are from Australia that you wore a nylon Speedo for surfing, swimming, sunning, and underwear.  Interesting to note that the guys from Australia (who were often on the UH swim team) also wore their nylon suits for underwear as well--no excuses necessary since they were Aussies.  If they did wear cotton underwear, it was always a bikini style similar to their nylon Speedo.  I don't think I ever saw them wear an American style cotton brief.

Funny how when the US military stopped issuing or even allowing their men to wear their beloved green silkies for PT, they were so in love with their nylon by then that it forced them to acknowledge their desire.  Now they are worn more exclusively as underwear even if they are worn under other nylon shorts.  Of course they would never think of wearing a single nylon tricot panty, but they do here as long as it's called a "liner" and it's hidden under a larger nylon tricot short over them.  The only sad thing is that they never seemed to ever (even accidentally) happen sew the liner in reversed which would cause it to slide under the over short.  If guys get hard wearing these green silkies as is, imagine what would happen if those 2 layers of nylon tricot slid over each other.

Always wonder about those frat parties or other male groups who come up with a theme that involves that they dress up like women.  Yeah, they were so drunk, etc. etc.  Always wondered how far their "authenticity" went with their dressing up?  Did they just put on their dress or skirt or did they go "all the way" and put on some sort of silky lingerie and panties, too?  I think in many cases that if they did, there always seemed to be a picture of them "showing off."  And what was up with those panty raids?  Of course now, who would want some tiny thong or lycra/lace thing?  Real men want a full size, 100% nylon tricot panty with plenty of room for some action in them.  In fact, if you're going on a raid, you wouldn't have stopped with 1 or 2 so of course you would want to wear more than 2 or 3 as well.
