Men’s Pantyhose

e-MANcipate describes itself as "a project to accelerate the acceptance of male pantyhose as a regular clothing item."

Why should guys wear pantyhose? "To improve athletic performance, energize and revitalize tired, aching leg muscles, and to stimulate circulation if they sit all day."

But what if you're shy and embarrassed about wearing pantyhose? "you can always show that you are wearing support pantyhose, and just give some reasons - your legs were tired or problematic in other ways. This is especially accepted if you need to stand or sit all day long, and for sports using your legs."

It all sounds quite reasonable to me.

I might be breaking the "don't ask don't tell" policy but there were several times when I was training in the the Army that we were encouraged, by the drills, to wear pantyhose for long road marches (15 miles or more). Amazingly, they did help to "To improve athletic performance, energize and revitalize tired, aching leg muscles". Besides, they made me feel pretty...oh so pretty. 😊

Pfft! Pantyhose for men? That's nothing! Pantyhose for men (we call them panthose) help keep real men warm while we hunt for bear with our moose hands, er, hunt for moose with our bear hands. And the skirts we wear? That's to maximize agility in gladiatorial combat? And the lipstick? That's to mark our prey when we've killed a lion with our teeth. And the diamond tiara? That's... well, that's because guys like to feel pretty now and then.

Kingmonkey - that's awesome! ROTFFL

I guess panthose is better than 'mannyhose'

I think these are "mantyhose".

well, sure... Why should women have all the fun with the d*mned things. Bending over pulling them up every 10 minutes, having the waistband squish you in two. All the really great parts of useless fashion!

Finally, you guys can experience the joy of nylons! Nothing like spending money on something you have to wear most days to work but that only lasts 1 or 2 days before its completely useless.

Jules - I've been spending money on pantyhose for years. Used pantyhose...but pantyhose nonetheless. 😉

And your alias is Ronald Grocoff?
Posted by Jules in Connecticut on 10/15/08 at 01:12 PM
I guess I stepped right into that one.
Posted by Madd Maxx on 10/15/08 at 01:14 PM
That's why I stayed away from frats. But them I joined the army and...well you can read my post at the top.

MM - I'll sell you mine, no judgement here...how much are you offering?
Posted by Jules in Connecticut on 10/15/08 at 01:20 PM
Well, you see that's one reason I got married. But then I found out she wears panties under the pantyhose, so what good is that!
Posted by Madd Maxx on 10/15/08 at 01:24 PM
LOLOL I go to lunch and you folks go nuts! I HATE pantyhose and refuse to wear it.

I had a guy steal my underwear after we, umm, you know, in his car.
Posted by Jules in Connecticut on 10/15/08 at 01:27 PM
Big Gary - to avoid camel toe

BG, oh I misread that - thought you asked why we wear panty's with nylons. The reason I wear nylons is because my legs are too blindingly white to inflict on others, have to tone it down just a bit. Honestly though I hate them too and 99% of the time I'm in pants at work so I only put on the 1/2 length ones...womens dress shoes look stupid with socks.

Jules - that's just another reason for going commando. If you have car nookie, no worries about him stealing your thong.

Gary - I wear nylons (rarely) for the same reason Jules does. I would blind people with the ivory color of my legs.

So Jules. You're trying to sell me knee highs?
Posted by Madd Maxx on 10/15/08 at 01:33 PM
Oh don't you worry MM, I have to wear the occasional skirt/dress so I've got the full ones too 😉
