Really? He Wears Lingerie?

Updated on October 13, 2009

For some people the idea of men wearing lingerie is a strange one. However for tens of thousands of men, the idea seems perfectly natural. Well, perhaps the 'perfectly natural' part is an over statement. These men feel the desire to wear lingerie, but often feel guilty about it. People who learn about their lingerie desires may not always be understanding, and if a man discovers his desires at a young age he may even be strongly dissuaded by his parents.

If you're hearing about men who wear women's lingerie for the first time you have the luxury of being simply incredulous. Men who find themselves wanting to wear women's lingerie can experience guilt and even self loathing. Their desire to experience women's lingerie is not a simple one that can simply be expressed. Unlike men who desire to indulge in macho behavior, men who wear women's lingerie don't receive the same levels of acceptance and even encouragement.

Oftentimes the first reaction of people who hear that a man wants to wear lingerie is to assume that a man who wears lingerie must be gay, or at least a little gay. This is sometimes true. Some men even find themselves feeling 'more' gay when they wear women's lingerie. The majority of men who wear women's lingerie do not consider themselves gay. They are attracted to women and often find that it is their attraction to women that undermines their ability to feel secure in women's lingerie.

They fear that women will not understand them. They fear that women will reject them for their desire to wear women's lingerie. Some men are brave enough to tell their partners about their love of lingerie, and some men hide it for the entire duration of the relationship. If you're reading this because you're a woman who has been told of her boyfriend or husband's love of lingerie then you have been entrusted with a secret that is very near and dear to the heart of the one you love.

Some men love lingerie because of the way it looks. Some men love lingerie because of the way it feels. Some men love lingerie because it puts them in touch with their feminine side. Some men wear lingerie because in doing so they break a taboo. There are as many reasons for a man to wear lingerie as there are men who wear lingerie. If you want to know more about this subject you can find a proverbial boat load of such articles here, or, if you're reading this with a certain someone in mind, go ask him.

Yes, he wears lingerie, and it's okay.
