The other thread was talking about a woman who thought her \*brother’s friend \*went into her room without her permission and did something with her panties. Not her boyfriend or anyone like that. You then respond by saying that you think 50% of men would do the same thing. That has nothing to do with foreplay or a boyfriend/girlfriend situation or anything like that. You are making your poll skewed to prove your argument when what you should be asking is if men have sniffed/stolen panties from someone they _were not_ dating/intimate with. I _don’t_ think 50% of men would do/have done that and \*that \*is what people were responding to in the original thread. ---

> [@LurkerInNJ](#): > > The situation or circumstances wasn’t an issue. It could be your 18 year old cousins in the laundry basket when you were 13, or your girlfriends from last night or this one time when you were in college and you thought this girl was really hot and you were in her room an there they were on the floor and you wanted to but were afraid that if she noticed or you got caught or every night you dream of Kim Kardashian pelting you with her thongs. Right but as others have pointed out, the parameters have changed since the original thread. You said that 50% of men would do that in the other thread where the issue was panties being stolen and now you’ve expanded it to any kind of sniffing. ---

When I was 15 I spent my summers working at a pizza/deli/cheesesteak place by the beach. I would go in about 3pm and prep the pizza area, which opened an hour or so later. I’d usually go to my boss’ house a couple blocks away around noon and we’d smoke a bowl or two before I had to go to work. He had a hot girlfriend, she was probably 23. One of these days I found myself in his bathroom, and lo and behold, right there next to the commode, hanging from the handle of the shower door, was a pair of Jenny’s lacy undies. I had several years’ experience reading Penthouse Forum by then, and had heard about the whole pantie sniffing thing, so I gave it a go. Pointless. I didn’t get the appeal, and never did it again. So grand total, 1 time. ---

I’ve done it when doing laundry, to make sure they are clean. But I wasn’t going to count that until I read the thread. No, what stuck in my mind was finding some panties outside a window at my college. I couldn’t resist wondering if they were stolen or if someone stripped off in front of a window. (The idea of stealing dirty ones had never crossed my mind, since they never did that on TV.) ---

No. **rhubarbain** said \*People do this all the time. Men in particular are interested in dirty laundry, etc (eew). \* which led to \*\*EinsteinsHund \*\*said _Ok, I grant you that, but your first post made me think of panty-sniffing as a common pastime of men, which is certainly not the case._ which led to **rhubarbarin** _It’s pretty common, judging by the men I have known and what I’ve heard from other people_ then I said **LurkerInNJ** _Same here. If I had to guess a percentage based upon anecdotal and personal experience, I would say 50%._ then **Omar Little** said \*Are you saying that when you see a pair of women’s underwear in the laundry you’ll pick them up and sniff them only half of the time? \* to which I replied \*No, I am saying that “If I had to guess a percentage based upon anecdotal and personal experience, I would say 50%” of men do this. I am female. I have never heard of a female doing this, but men … yeah. \* Three people came in and said based upon their personal experience, they felt it was 0%. Then **Anaamika** said \*I’d put to down to less than 5% at adulthood, but teenagers? 75%. Teen boys is weird. \* So I said I was posting a poll, and I did. ---

I guess my question is why this is ONLY a male thing. I have never heard of a woman sniffing a dude’s used undies. I’m a female, and the thought p much grosses me out. ---

Although I’ll admit to having plenty of idiosyncrasies, I don’t do this, and have never even considered doing this. I’ve never even sniffed my wife’s underwear. ---
