A new lingerie line has been unveiled called “Homme Mystere.” As the name implies: it’s for men. (Specifically men of mystery.) You can preview some of the collection [here](http://www.buzzfeed.com/amyodell/finally-the-mens-lingerie-market-keeps-pace-with-the-womens) (probably NSFW). Gentlemen: would you consider buying and/or wearing such garments? How often, and in what circumstances? Gay men: additionally, would you enjoy seeing your partner wear them? Ladies: would you enjoy seeing your male partners wear lingerie? What are your thoughts on men wearing them in general? As a man, I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to buy lingerie, unless it’s something my partner showed an interest in. It could be fun though, bows, ribbons, and all. Survey says: I’m into it. ---

Oh god, no. That isn’t lingerie for men, it is women’s lingerie worn by dudes. A product for men shouldn’t have cups for breasts or be covered in little hearts or be bright pink. Lingerie for men could be an interesting idea but that is not what this is. [This is lingerie for men.](http://www.ebay.com/itm/221171793969?hlp=false&var=) ---

No way in hell would I wear anything in that first link, except as a joke or I lost a bet. Now something like from that second link, definitely. If I were in better shape that is. ---

That’s women’s underwear for men. It’s just cross dressing if that’s your thing but it’s certainly not a new take on masculinity. The look (to me) is non-sexy. It’s not even gay it’s just asinine. ---

OP link: Not just no, but, HELL NO. **pbbth** ’s link: Ok, _I_ could not get away with wearing that in this century, but send me back in time to when I was fightin’ fit back in my 20s and I’d present myself gladly for my lady’s unwrapping. ---

Men in women’s underwear, or ‘lingerie’ aping the style? No thanks. My boyfriend in (men’s) tight, patterned boxer briefs? Hell yes ---

[This is lingerie for men.](http://www.ebay.com/itm/221171793969?hlp=false&var=) That’s what I thought the “lingerie for men” was going to be, not guys dressing up in their girlfriend’s undergonch. One site I was looking at stated, “The one thing women want to find in their stockings at Christmas is their husbands.” No, not even a little. ---

Holly Hell. I voted “yes” before I looked at the images (because I was thinking of something like in the other link someone posted). I’m all for sexy underwear, and sexy men’s lingerie would be a cool idea. HELL FUCKING NO!!! I wouldn’t wear what was posted in the OP. I can’t believe that’s actually real. -drewtwo99, resident gay poster ---

A bunch of 15yo boys dancing Duck Pond\* in borrowed tutus is sexier, at least the 15yos are trying to make their audience laugh. - like Swan Lake, but danced by 15yo guys who can’t hop to save their lifes. ---
