Thongs have gained traction in men’s fashion over the last few years, sparking conversations about why they’ve become so popular. In the latest episode of the Brief Talk Podcast, host UNB Tim is joined by thong enthusiasts Erik and Daniel, aka Thong Addict, for an in-depth discussion on what’s driving this growing trend. Together, they explore the evolution of thongs from niche to mainstream and the reasons behind their surging popularity among men of all orientations.
Breaking the Taboo: How Social Media Made Thongs Mainstream
One of the key points our panelists emphasize is how social media has contributed to making thongs more visible and accepted. Daniel shares how the rise of social platforms allowed him to discover a community of men who, like him, were drawn to the freedom and comfort of wearing thongs. Erik echoes this, noting that social media algorithms often recommend thong-related content to anyone with an interest in men’s underwear, making thongs even more visible.
“Whether you’re straight, gay, or bi, social media plays a huge role in introducing guys to thongs. It helps normalize the style, especially for those who may have once felt like thongs weren’t for them,” says Erik.
From Boxers to Thongs: Why More Men Are Embracing Them
The panel also touches on how men have grown tired of traditional boxer briefs and are seeking alternatives that combine sexiness, comfort, and style. Thongs provide precisely that, and men are finding the freedom to express themselves through bold underwear choices. UNB Tim jokes that men are ready to ditch “boring boxer briefs” for something much more exciting.
“Boxer briefs had their time, but now thongs are offering men something sexier and more comfortable,” says UNB Tim. “Men are realizing they can have fun with their underwear choices, too.”
The Appeal to All Orientations: Not Just for Gay Men
A particularly interesting part of the conversation revolves around how straight men are embracing thongs—especially in swimwear. Erik shares stories of straight men skipping right past Speedos and diving straight into wearing swim thongs.
“It’s amazing to see how confident straight guys have become in rocking thongs,” says Erik. “They’re not worried about the stigma anymore—they just want to feel good and look good.”
The panel also discusses the inclusivity of the thong community, emphasizing how it transcends sexual orientation. Whether straight, gay, or bi, men from all walks of life are embracing thongs as a way to feel empowered, confident, and sexy.
What’s Next for Thongs?
As the podcast dives into the future of thongs, the consensus is that they’re here to stay. Unlike the brief thong trends of the past, the panel believes that the rise in popularity this time is sustainable. With more brands offering thongs in various designs, prints, and styles, it’s clear that thongs have solidified their place in men’s underwear.
“We’re seeing an entire community and industry being built around thongs, which is something we haven’t seen with other styles of underwear,” says UNB Tim. “I think thongs will continue to grow and remain a staple in men’s fashion.”
