Posted: Thu Apr 19, 2007 11:25 am Post subject: And here I thought I was the only one.
For the longest time, (until I found this site basically) I thought I was borderline insane for my fetish. And now I find you guys, thanks....really.
I have been into this since I was about oh, 14 or so, I guess I started off "borrowing" them from my mom. Then I kinda quit for a while because I had pretty much convinced myself I was "wrong" for doing it.
I think I was about 25 or so when I got back into it, I had moved in with my friend and his wife (my size..yay), and she kept some of her older clothes in my closet, as I didn't use all of it. One night I got curious, so I started digging around in there...and one of the first boxes I opened had some satin string bikinis in it. I figured, since I was in my room, and there was a lock on the door....there wouldn't be any harm in trying them on. As soon as I got them on, and not even really situated....I was amazed at how good they felt. I was hooked from then on.
For a while, I sustained my fetish by stealing them from girlfriends, or roomates...then I just gave up on that entirely and started ordering from VS. I usually stick to string bikinis, but sometimes I'll go for a thong or some low cut tangas.
As of yet, I have not had the courage to wear them out in public...I think I might probably die of terminal embarassment if someone saw them...but I think I am working up to it.
I really hope I get to know some like minded people on here.....not having anyone to talk to about this for 15 or so years has been really hard for me, and I think this is a great place for me to let this part of my true self out. Feel free to IM me if you want to chat, my AIM screen name is (you guessed it): Bikinifeind

You're among friends, bikinifiend. And wear them in public if and when you wish. Parade around the house in them, do the housework in them, take shots of them, whatever takes your fancy. It's called self-indulgence and it can be wonderful.

Welcome aboard there matey...
Have fun and enjoy, this thing is with you for life...
At least it has been for most of my 48 years.
I even wear in public, discreetly of course.
Most of the girls I've dated don't seem to mind as they were as sex crazed as I was. LOL

I want to welcome you to the group also Bikinifiend, I am sure that you will find that what we wear under our outer clothing does not show who we are. I wear panties 24/7 now and do not even own a single pair of men's briefs. I have been seen wearing panties by numerous doctors, and nurses and PA's. None of them have made any adverse comments, in fact I have gotten some nice compliments. I had one nurse lower my panties to give me a shot in the buttock, then she rubbed it in real good, and then raised my panties back into place and gave me a gentle pat on the ass and told me that she loved my panties. Just a few weeks ago the PA at my surgeons office happened to see my lacey panties when giving me a quick check up, and at first was a little surprised, but I was very at ease about it and told her that I wear panties because they are so much more comfortable than men's briefs, and she was fine with it. I shop at womens stores for my panties, and the sales assistants all are aware of who I am shopping for, and are very helpful. If you wear with confidence, women will usually accept it with no problem. I have found that most women look at panties as just something to wear under their clothing, there is nothing really sexual about them, unless they are dressing up for an evening out, and want to wear something provocative, then they will usually wear a nice matching pair of panties/bra, and once in a while a garter belt and stockings with it. Other than then, women usually wear for comfort, and for them cotton is the most comfortable. You have to remember we men can wear different fabrics, and not have to sorry about getting any type of yeast infection, etc. while the ladies have to be very careful about things like that. My advice to you, and any one else, just wear whatever feels good to you, no one has to know what you are wearing for underwear, and if you stay with neutral colors, black, white, dark blue,, tan, then quite often they are mistaken for men's fashion underwear anyway. Have fun with this little fetish, you are not harming anyone, and it can be a great stress reliever. After a hard stressful day, it is nice to come home, take a quick shower and put on a sexy baby-doll nightie and relax in the living room and watch TV.

I have been into wearing panties all my life. Thankfully, I own my own place now & have 2 drawers full of lovely panties. 1 drawer for my floral panties & the other for plain!

welcome Bikinifiend. I've been into wearing panties since my teens - preferably used panties with some snail-trail. I was in heaven when I found this site recently.

Welcome aboard!!! It's not ashamed. Just relax and enjoy your panties. Wear them anytime, anywhere. Nobody gonna find it (unless you have a doctor's appointment).
Actually I wore a red panty with lace trim to visit a doctor. I just forgot to change it before the appointment. It was a check up for my constant diarrhea. The doctor saw it but did not say anything nor felt strange. :)

Don't stress! I'm a doctoral student in the last year of my psychology training and I wear panties exclusively. Wearing panties - in and of itself - is not a sign of psychopathology. The only time it can present a problem worthy of a mental health diagnosis is when it prevents you from meeting your work, education, familial, and social obligations. If you find that you can't have sex unless you're wearing panties, then you may have developed a fetish for panties. Even then, a panty fetish (clinical term: transvestic fetishism) does not have to be problematic, nor is it a sign of a true mental disorder. The key here is that any behavior that is not harmful and doesn't result in significant distress is probably ok. Even when the behavior does result in distress, the source of the distress may actually be society itself (lack of acceptance of the sexual practices of others) and may not be a reflection of one's state of mental health.
But like everything else in life, we do what we do and we get what we get. If we don't like what we're getting, the only thing we can change is what we're doing.
