She probably will be, only without your knowledge of it. Face it, you can’t control them passed a certain age. 14 Is the beginning of this.
If she asks your permission to wear thongs, might as well be cool and say yes because she’s going to anyways.
If it were something dangerous or potentially dangerous (like say, a party) saying no is fine because how is she going to attend without you knowing? Underwear is a whole different story.
If you’re freaking out about your 14 year old wearing thongs I can only imagine how you’d feel about her giving her boyfriend a blowjob, because that’s likely what she’s doing.
Why would you say something like this?
I type without thinking sometimes.
Because it’s not particularly far from the truth in many cases.
It still doesn’t mean this thread is about that.
Well, this thread wasn’t about sexism until a couple posters decided to make it such. I find that a lot more offensive than a poorly thought out joke. I get all stabby when I see someone turn yet another thread onto a contentious topic.
If my parents had tried to stop me from buying a particular style of underwear as a teenager, I would’ve (a) rationally explained that if they searched my dresser and laundry basket, they deserved to be disturbed by what they found and (b) had a complete, shrieking-with-tears meltdown. (For the record, I was 18 before I ever felt comfortable getting undressed around a guy, and it was at least 5 more years before I showed the top 2" of my boxers to an entire group of co-workers at a party. Hey, they were festive boxers! …Probably by the time I’m 80 at this rate I’ll be a nudist. They’ll catch me running away from the nursing home stark naked at 95.)
Boyshorts, by the way, just change the angle of your VPL if you have a big cuddly butt. Men’s underwear, weirdly, fit better for that.
I have a young teenage kid in my household, but unfortunately for fighting ignorance on the subject of appropriate underwear for her, I made a pact with her mother and father that I will never discuss her personal business on the interwebs.
Not in Italy where men, and I am sure teenagers even more, wear stuff like this or this (Valentine’s edition). Not saying that every single Italian man wears that kind of stuff, but that’s a mainstream brand and no one would bat an eyelid. Bless their cotton undies.
Ive worn stuff like that, but it was for the humor/aww factor, not the “give her an intense physical reaction at the sight of me,” like a thong, stocking, corset combo would give any red blooded male.
For the record, I am not a fan of corsets - though frankly anything goes well with stockings and a thong.
If you’re disinterested, feel free to send your girlfriend my way next time she puts one on. 
I hate thongs and this whole thread is making me want to go out and buy some for every teenage girl I know. Feel the power!
Same here, Anaamika. Same here.
I’m also happily awaiting the “Should I let my teenage daughter buy a vibrator” thread.
ETA: Though I’ve never gotten why stockings=the sexiness. I think I look and feel way better in just bare legs.
I say YES! I never understood that one either. I’d rather have my teen daughter home with her vibrator than with some boy, and plus, I would want her to know her sexual needs before she got into a relationship with a boy.
But very few people agree with me. 
This probably should have its own thread, but my theory is that it “frames” the goodies - sort of like crotchless underwear or open cup bras. I’m not sure why framed goodies should be hotter, though.
OF COURSE A 14-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SHOULDN’T HAVE A VIBRATOR!!
I would want her to learn the basics by masturbating battery-free the way nature intended, first.
Hey, some of us at age fourteen had mastered the basics for years. I’d had a decade of practice under my, er, belt, as it were.
I know we’ve had threads about the horrors of vibrators as well, though. (Not for teens, for anyone.)
If we’re talking about boys, though- of course I’d let my -son- have a vibrator. What’s the big deal?
But keep that shit away from my daughter.
Not all girls know how to come right away without one.
However, that might also be related to a very uptight upbringing - one gets hangups about sex early, one internalizes them, one had a hard time letting go enough to orgasm.
Perhaps if parents from the beginning were all “That’s your business, and we don’t do it in public, but it’s perfectly OK to do at home” the girl might not have such a problem.
