Thong Panties or No Panties: What’s Sexier?
Increasing numbers of women like Lauren and the hot chick sitting across from us at the airport (keep reading) are going commando.
“She doesn’t have any panties on,” Lauren, sitting next to me in the airport concourse, texted.
“Who?” I messaged back.
“The girl sitting across from us,” my bride responded.
I looked quickly. The attractive young woman, appearing probably 25 years-old, wore a short skirt. I didn’t allow my eyes to settle on her for more than a second or two, but I didn’t (yet) have a view up her skirt. I was curious.
“Mind if I confirm that for myself?” I texted back to my wife.
She smiled and then: “Just be discreet about it.”
I waited patiently and then the woman ever-so-slightly shifted her position enough to allow me in a split-second to confirm that, indeed, she’d ditched her panties.
“You’re right,” I texted Lauren, followed by, “that’s hot.”
Lauren rolled her eyes.
And then I decided to tease my lover a bit.
“You also don’t have on any panties…but, then again, you’re in revealing yoga pants and not a short skirt like she is,” I quipped.
I kept going: “And at times you wear short skirts like she does (and low-cut dresses that show off your tits). So maybe this is a thing with hot women…flashing their assets?”
“She IS hot,” Lauren conceded. “Good on her,” she added.
We both found it quite amusing that the hot airport woman seemed to care not one iota that her bald hoo-ha — oh how pretty it was — was on full display in the concourse.
We wondered if she was an exhibitionist.
A few years ago, Lauren ditched her thong panties for good. Actually, that’s a bit of an overstatement: These days, she only wears them when it’s that time of month.
She hadn’t told me she was opting for the commando lifestyle until one day, as we engaged in foreplay, I pulled off her yoga pants to discover…nothing beneath them except her bald vagina.
“No panties?” I asked, a bit surprised not to see her usual black, blue or red Victoria’s Secret thong, which she’s able to pull off quite well with her body and those firm, round hips and ass cheeks and toned midsection.
“I don’t wear them anymore,” she answered confidently.
“Why not?” I queried, eager for her reasoning.
“More comfortable. More breathable. Sexier. Just like it better.”
“This is an interesting development,” I observed.
“I see women changing in and out of scrubs at the hospital daily. Very few of them wear panties,” she responded, referencing the changing and shower room in the surgical ward where she works. “Not wearing them is easier.”
What Percentage of Women Goes Commando?
It’s hard to find reliable data on women’s panty-wearing but it appears a decent percentage of them go commando all, most of or some of the time — especially in Lauren’s age range of 36–50 years-old (11% say they never wear panties).
When comparing those data to observations Lauren and I have of women we know well — that about half of them wear panties all the time and the other half is in the some/most of the time or “never” categories — it’s not hard to deduce that a decent percentage of women in the “general population,” like the hot airport chick, go commando.
Our polyamorous lover, Piper, often ditches her panties, too, but, unlike Lauren, does slide them on when wearing a skirt.
What Causes Lauren to Put on Her Panties?
If you ask Lauren what might cause her to slide on some panties — oh, maybe a super short dress or skirt — she answers unequivocally, “only if I’m having my period. Otherwise, I don’t wear panties.” These days, as she’s in the throes of perimenopause, her bleeding can be bad, hence the merits of panties when it’s that time of month.
Although she tries to always cross her legs as a lady should — which the airport chick didn’t do — Lauren doesn’t really care if anyone catches a glimpse of her pussy. “It’s just a vagina,” she quips. Even if it’s one of our son’s friends who sees it? “Of course I don’t want them to see it,” she clarifies.
All that to say, I find it quite sexy being married to a woman who goes commando and doesn’t mind if others get a glimpse of her pretty pussy.
Benefits
As mentioned above, Lauren says the benefits of going commando include breathability, coolness down there, reduced risk of infection and, yep, feeling sexy.
There are other benefits, too — mainly easy access. If she’s wearing a skirt or dress, all Lauren has to do is bend over and we can get in a quickie — takes about 4–6 minutes. Then again, if she has no panties and I cum inside her, she’s gonna leak semen afterward. So, if we do get in a quickie, typically I have to pull out unless she has time to drain into a tissue.
“Easy access is more a benefit for you,” she teases. She’s probably right, but I also happen to know she enjoys a random doggy-style pounding.
Any drawbacks to going commando? “Not really,” Lauren says.
Thong Panties are Sexy, Though
But I also find thong panties sexy and have always gotten quite exhilarated watching a woman in the throes of passion pull them off…maybe from my own anticipation of seeing, touching and enjoying what’s beneath them.
Fortunately, through our lifestyle as swingers, I get to enjoy women with and without panties. But if I had to choose which I like better — thong panties or no panties — I’d choose no panties.
