Let me set the record straight. You do not have to be gay to wear pantyhose. Be it for medical reasons which this man had, or just the feel of them against your body.

We in the medical profession often prescribe feminizing hormones to men to treat prostate cancer. Does this mean that a man fighting to stay alive is gay because he is taking female hormones? I would say not. The reverse is true for females, when she is given estrogen blockers to battle breast cancer, does it make her a lesbian.

I as a professional feel there is a significant benefit to wearing support hose for varicosities, venous insufficieny or any other condition I think would benefit from it. I am not endorsing fishnet hose or anything like that. Light support is better than not support, and for those who just like the feel of nylon and feel a nice pair of ultrasheers is their cup of tea, so be it.

As for shaving their legs, many of my male patient tell me shaving their legs helps keep the hose from slipping and sagging. I just caution those with diabetes, to prevent infections from nicks and cuts. I can not personally attest to shaving since I do not remember ever having unshaven legs.

Just stop sterotyping men and making them feel it is improper to get proper medical treatment.

I as a physician have been wearing support hose since the mid 1970’s and I believe that by doing so has prevented me from developing leg problems. I am ready to retire and my legs look and feel as good as they did when I was in my 20’s.

Pantyhose is not a item to classify someone as having a fetish or being gay. It is an accepted medical practice that should be recommended more frequently, even to woman who should be wearing them for the same reason but do not because it has become unfashionable.

I really believe if a man is going to war nylons, he needs to shave his legs regularly. I shave my legs everyday. It not only looks and feels better, but if you want to look natural, then shaving your legs is a must. I can’t imagine wearing nylons without my legs shaved. If your legs aren’t shaved people will notice the hair under your nylons more than if they are shaved.

I rarely leaver the house without having nylons on. I have found that the best way to wear nylons is to wear them like you would wear any other article of clothing. You don’t need to draw attention to yourself by dressing a certain way. I wear shorts, nylons and a nice flat or one to two inch heel.

When I go to work I wear them under my pants, but I wear woman’s flats. I do not wear socks. I work in a department store. Some people may notice I have on nylons, but very seldom do I have anyone ask me about them. Most of the women I work with think I look great. I usually wear nudes and suntans and I almost always wear ultra sheer pantyhose. Ultra Sheers are the best for looks, feel and comfort. The negative thing is they tend to run if you are not careful. I also suggest wearing a pair of pantyhose and a flat yarn type RHT stocking. The outer stockings glide on your inner nylons and provide a great massage all day long. They look and feel great. It is very uncommon that I don’t wear stocking over my Pantyhose.

My suggestion to men is to wear them just like socks. Don’t worry about what people think. The more men wear nylons the more they will become normal for m

My experience wearing hose in public (my office) was a bad one. The ladies in the dept just smiled & gigled among themselves when they saw my hose underneath my pants but my boss exploded. He yelled at me in front of all people & then shut me out. Since then, I only wear hose with long pants and high boots to hide my calves.

For me, I will always wear pantyhose because it keeps my legs warm and comfortable. The only downside is that the crotch area is not designed for men. It becomes uncomfortable around my groin when it sags after a long day at work. Any tips to reduce this problem?

I’ve tried cutting out the crotch area but it only spoils my pantyhose.

In high school I had a girlfriend who thought my legs would look good in pantyhose. She bought me some and had me try them on. I never told her I had been wearing pantyhose for years and most likely had more pairs then she did. Shed didn’t like the hair crushed underneath. We removed the hair. Then she liked the look a lot. That same night she coerced me into wearing the pantyhose out openly in public with shorts.

I was real nervous about it, thinking I would get noticed and ridiculed and it would be very embarassing. No one seemed to notice, so I relaxed and enjoyed the experience. Needless to say, wearing pantyhose out openly with shorts became a regular going out attire for me when I was with her.

After high school when we went separate ways, I wanted another girl who would like my legs in pantyhose. I shortened my shorts and put myself in highly visible situations. Still, it was hard to get noticed. It took a while but it happened eventually. It was more stressul than I had anticipated getting asked if I was wearing pantyhose. I panicked and walked away quickly. After a few days to contemplate what had happeded, I regrouped and swore that next time it happened, I would handle it differently and better.

The next time I got noticed, it was just as stressful, but I did handle it better and got good results. I was fortuante in that I managed to meet several girls that liked my pantyhose legs and asked me about it. This includes the girl who eventually became my wife.

Yes you can wear pantyhose out openly and possibly attract females who might find it interesting and attractive. Don’t think though that you can slip on some pantyhose, go walk outside and girls will fall all over you. Most people don’t seem to notice. I also think it’s possible that some might notice but simply don’t respond or react.

Nevertheless, I would suggest that if you love pantyhose and would like to find a partner who would enjoy sharing your pantyhose love, slip on a pair of pantyhose under shorts, go out and see what happens. You may get lucky too.

I love the feel of pantyhose on my legs, so why shouldn’t men? While 18 year old girls may not be accepting of men in pantyhose, the older a woman gets the more worldly she becomes and I for one believe- whatever floats your boat. I agree though, you gotta shave those pins as hairy legs don’t look great in phose.
