Questions: Fashion & Beauty

Hello, I’m an 18 year old guy.

I normally wear boxers because they’re nice and loose, and I’m good with that. Occasionally though they ride up, and I have to go and fix them.

But I heard recently from a friend that male thongs are actually very comfortable and better than boxers, briefs, or boxer briefs.

I initially laughed and was sort of skeptical. I find thongs very hot on girls, I never considered that they would be a good male underwear. It seemed sort of effeminate/gay.

Also, I would assume the string/strip up your butt all day would feel uncomfortable, but my friend says he doesn’t even feel it.

Thongs are kinda pricey and are always sold in packs, and I don’t want to drop $20-30 on underwear that I’ll never wear. But if they’re actually extremely comfortable, it wouldn’t be bad to give them a shot. So I figured I would ask here.

1) Are male thongs actually more comfortable than boxers?
2) What are the pros & cons of each?
3) What was it like to wear them for the first time, how quickly did it take to get used to them?
4) Would you say they’re gay/effeminate?
5) What brand would you say is the best? Also are thongs better or g-strings?
6) Would you recommend them to me?
