> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > Haha, good times… seeing that thread and being reminded of the men I’ve known, and some in that thread, that are so threatened by a woman being able to have a good orgasm with something other than just pure them… 😛 Are we getting away from the original thread? If so, let me help. The first time I saw a woman enjoy a Sybian, I could easily have felt inadequate beyond comprehension. Let’s face it, those things can do stuff that NO man is capable of. Actually, I don’t care what it can do, it’s the woman’s complete and total breakdown in surrender that’s ego-busting. The only thing that kept my ego intact is the knowledge that there are SOME things that NO Sybian can do, such as holding/caressing her afterward which, fortunately, most women seem to require. As for buying one for my 14 year old daughter? Let’s get real, you creepy, disgusting, perverted, voyeuristic bastard! Anyone else’s daughter, okay, but not MINE. ---

Thank you, now I just went and googled Sybian. I never even heard of it before. Sounds interesting to say the least. ---

> [@The\_Tao\_s\_Revenge](#): > > ITT: 5 pages of discussion about some 14 year old’s underwear. \ Had to look up “ITT”. “In This Thread” 5 pages; at least it’s more entertaining than suffering through the healthcare reform public option debate again. ---

What really makes me wonder is how anyone could have predicted such a thing, such as the scene in “Barbarella” from 1968 (the Orgasmatron?). Except Jane Fonda BROKE hers! ---

to me, it’s really no different than when guys (a bit younger than 14) start asking for those cool boxers than those embarrassing briefs. if the kid’s as good an egg as the OP portrays, it might be that she doesn’t want to be sporting granny panties in the locker room when the other girls have “cool” underwear. either way, boyshorts\>thongs. it’s just a phase anyway. i remember in 7th grade pleading hardcore for boxers, spray deodorant, cargo pants, and cool basketball shoes that you can’t play basketball in. now that i’m grown i wear boxer-briefs, roll on my old spice, detest cargo anything, and prefer loafers. i am seriously bothered when i see grown adults wearing cargo pants/shorts. i yell at my friends all the time. ---

I love my cargo shorts, but my cargo pants now feel decidedly… something. I only wear them when I’m doing yard work or something now. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-i-let-my-14-year-old-daughter-get-thong-underwear/536436.md?page=10)
