No one ever asked me for my panties. ☹ If they had, I would have been surprised at first but would find it a turn-on. It is a little trashy and I think that’s really hot! After all, I do love the smell that my partners leave in their clothes … usually I prefer sweaters but I can imagine that panties have the same appeal. ---

Children are nice souveniers too. I`ve got four myself. When **Kalhoun** used the phrase **painting the ceiling** my first thought was that it was used as a euphemism for masturbating. Then I realised that he was probably really painting, with real paint and all. At least I hope. ---

Yup! He was really painting. A roller in one hand, a beer in the other, and my panties on his head. At first I thought it was authentic protective gear (what do I know from painting?) until I recognized the floral pattern.:smack: I’ve never heard the euphemism, “painting the ceiling”, but it’s funnier than hell 🙂 ---

But, how would you react if someone did? You may have to imagine you’re single, at the time. It would just be weird if your husband asked. 😉 ---

Davebear, I have a shocking inability to buy one pair of panties at a time, preferring those 3 for 10 euro dealies, or a 5 pack of M&S thongs. I have approximately 321,734 pairs of pants, the odd few aren’t missed. ---

Davebear said, "how close a friend do I have to be to… " Anyone who can paint a ceiling and drink beer at the same time can wear my panties on his head. 😉 Which, strangely, reminds me of another friend who didn’t want to drive all the way to my house to bring us beer ‘n’ stuff. So my roommates and I told him we’d give him a lingerie show if he did. He was there in about 20 minutes and we gave him the lingerie show. Only we wore the lingerie outside our clothes. Bwahahaha! ---

Irish Girl - I do buy one pair at a time and STILL end up with too many pairs to close my panty drawer. Maybe I am not giving enough of them away. ---

Well, you have to have assorted styles and colors and of course when I buy a new outfit to go out with my bf, then I have to buy a COMPLETELY new outfit…you know they just add up. My mother used to tell me that a lady’s bra and panties should match and she instilled some sort of paranoia in me that I would die in a car wreck and they wouldn’t match and that would end up on my tombstone “She died without matching under garments - what a shame” …it’s a compulsion. ---

Well, I don’t hand them out, about as close as I get is when I leave a relationship part of my healing process is buying new undies. Not that I wear anything fantastic, but I like color. If someone asked me? Wow, it would really depend on the guy. But if he was in a position to have them in his hands in the first place, and I was drunk or something, maybe. But I don’t really wear show panties, I wear things that please me, ie colorful cotton that will cover my entire ass. ---

I have given away panties as souveniers twice. In both cases, there was no discussion involved, I left them under the pillow as a reminder after I’m gone. As I recall from the ensuing phone conversations later, the gift did the trick quite nicely. ---

And I couldn’t imagine myself in either granny panties or cottony things that cover my ass. Yikes…Haven’t worn anything like that since I was in about 8th grade. ---
