It might simply be a product with a very focused target market. I brought my own biases to the thread. I’m a straight female who has only ever been intimately acquainted with men who wouldn’t pick that style of lacy or polka dotted lingerie for me to wear much less for themselves. Neither would I choose it for myself.

I don’t think it’s an affront to anyone’s anything. I just don’t care for it and am not turned on by it - personally. My conclusion therefore, is that I’m just not who it’s for. If it floats your boat then you are who it’s for and I’m glad you’ve found it.

Yeah I should have been more respectful and done away with the comments like “this must be a joke!”

If it makes you happy, glad you found it 🙂

I’ve not had the pleasure of trying it out yet, but it does make me happy, in an abstract way. 🙂 I wish them all the success in the world.

Ten years from now, when y’all start finding frilly men’s lingerie lining the racks of your local Walmart, a zombie thread will emerge from the depths of the SDMB, with a single message: “I told you so.”
