What's the point of it for a guy?
I thought their leg hair was supposed to keep them warm enough so they didn't need extra layers....
And you can't tell me that's fashionable.
So called "fashion trends" never cease to boggle my mind...

Oh yeah...that's sexy

ummmhhhhh nope neither. I thought thermals would help you to keep warm.

I hate it when they have to add "man" to the begging of everything. I think we gather that he's a man by looking at the picture. Men are (typically) so darn frightened of being called gay, they have to assert and REassert and REASSERT that they are MEN, godammit!

And Morwenna:

What I find so funny is that football players have been wearing pantyhose for years to keep the bottom half of their legs warm during the colder months.

When I shot with Andi from Razorblade Kisses He was wearing tights he had some funky trousers with slits all over and stuff very complex and very nice he looked fab!

Aw men wearing tights and the likes is sooo old back into history.
Even some of my guy friends back in the *old school days* wore them. Some would
shave some would not egardless be them tights, sheers or fishnets. Shaver sells if it catches on big time mainstream could go up!

HeY!!! I wanted to add to that but I had to run!....

Really neat info ravengrim! Thanks for posting it!

Now ... also does not that one pair make you think of tribal tats! Does me.

Well I least vote FISHNETS! if this is going to be put to one! That way all those lovely leg tats you men have can be still eyed and oogled at! (Ok even is you don't have tats!)

Wonder just WHO might like'a pair of man hosies that I know... hmmmm ?

<(HEY YOU! Drop those black bat sequin studded fishnets! Those are MINE!!! Well...sort of! )


... Oh and as to Fashion or Fetish, I just can't decide!

Your post made me think of something! Are they made with'a little different hmm ... front panel than those made for women???

Oh and I agree with you inregards to some men being so afraid for thier masculinity, although most of the men I've known were skirt wearers so...


*Sorry for so many posts... my comp isn't as slow as it usually is and I'm shamefully taking advantage of it!

Honestly, if I met a man who was manly enough to wear a skirt/"man"hose/et cetera... (and look good doing so!)...

I would be in instant love.

So do chaps who work on building sites or in outdoor jobs such as painters and postmen - real men don't have to prove that they are real men - they exude testosterone

I would imagine a good pair of men's tights would have a crotch gusset with a nice long dart! Hehe.

OMG GhostRed I just read that and laughed so hard I had water coming out of my nose.

Hahaha, that ol' clothing construction humor---its a killer!

Yeah.. not the most attractive look for a guy.

It goes even further then that. Men were wearing hose in the 12th century.

Maybe they should bring the codpiece back as well!

Oh god no, please.

Hey, did you know hose in the 12 century didn't have a crotch at all? Now, that is what I call an unattractive look. Oh, and tights were ONLY for men, remember.

And there was a reason for it. They had to tie on the hose to their clothes, so imagine having to rush to the loo and untying your hose so that you don't mess them or you other clothes up.

That's where the codpiece comes into play. ^_^

Actually the codpiece was just for decoration and they were to show how "big" a buy was. It wouldn't be so bad had they been filled with fabric, something like the modern day guy stuffing his shorts with rolled up socks but they filled these things with stuff like hay It goes the same for those very long pointy shoes, the longer the shoe was supposedly the better endowed the guy was. That is still populare today with the all to famous "well you know what they say about a guy with big feet"...
