  • Going Commando: Why is it Sexy?

    The odd topic of the day that came up at work was going commando.


    It all started when my coworker sent me this gynecology knowledge test with a slew of multiple choice questions. One of them asked which was the healthiest for the vag: lace, cotton, or going commando. I thought the right choice was cotton but apparently it's being in the buff. 

    So as some of us are debating about the choices, I expressed my dislike of going in the buff because I can't stand the thought of my bare bottom touching public surfaces. Sure I could hang around my apartment naked but then if my friends found out, I doubt any of them would ever want to come and sit on my couch.

    Then again, if my friends private area has touched their sofas and chairs, I don't know if I want to sit on them either. Call me a prude all you want, but seriously, it just bugs me.

    Anyway, my British coworker overhears our conversation and tells us to screw the panties and that every girl should go commando because it's bloody sexy. According to him, guys love the fact that girls don't wear underwear in public. Now I don't know if it's because it's easy access or because it's downright raunchy, but it has become some sort of a cliché.

    For example, in the movie promo for She's out of my league when the guys invite the hot chick to jump into the pool with her underwear, Alice Eve says "underwear would be okay... if I was wearing any..."

    So is he right? Is going commando really sexy? Why do guys equate going commando as sexy? Don't be shy and let's hear it!

    Christ yes, it's sexy. And I'm not sure why. It kind of suggests a naughtiness I suppose.

    I usually go commando (unless my skirt is really short) and my bare ass has never touched a public surface. It's considered naughty and sexy because the naughty sexy woman in the movies is always doing it.  I do it because it looks better under clothes and underwear are uncomfortable.

    ETA:  I save the panties for in the house so my couches are mostly clean.  I am unprudish enough to think that my friends have probably had sex on their couches so I could care less if they sit on them naked. I might worry if they rubbed their naked asses on them, but that is just one of my odd anxieties revolving around cooties.

    I go commando its ridiculously comfortable.  

  • SeeBeeWrite@xanga

    Raunchy? I think not. And I don't sit on my furniture bare-ass. I at least put down a towel.

    It's the most comfortable. And I hate having underwear either sticking over the top of my pants, or giving me a wedgie. And if I shave, underwear cause chafing and burning.

    Idk why it would be sexy, though.

  • Shy___Away@xanga

    I hate wearing underwear, I will be completely honest. I'm not wearing now, as a matter of fact. It's so comfortable! And it lets you breathe, really, you don't think a thin layer of cotton panties would make that much of a difference, but it really does. I don't know, I think being naked is awesome, and I happen to know most of my friends share my views on that, too.. They all know that my couch has been fornicated upon, and they don't seem to have a problem plopping their asses down on it whenever they come over.

    Regarding why it's sexy? It gives off this vibe that you're so ready for sex that all you have to do is rip off clothing that you HAVE to have on in public, and you're good to go. Or something like that.

  • ccarothers@xanga

    I'm sure there is a large degree of sexiness involved, but my behind will be staying safely encased in my underwear.  Besides, no one is interested in my bare booty (at least not at the moment) 

  • Thumper49047@xanga

    Its comfortable for all the reasons stated above.
    Its sexy because for a guy it SORT OF implies an willingness to sex - easy access, if not sex then wanting to fool around without the foreplay of struggling to get in the underwear. As a guy I've been told by gf's that its not sexy when we go commando and just wear bball shorts or pjs or whatnots.

  • superGchik@xanga

    i guess it's sexy but i love panties too much and i like that fact that he has to work a little hard to get them off.

  • greenglow28@xanga

    I don't like wearing underwear, not all the time but I do most of the time. as far as vag getting on house surfaces- since when did no underwear mean no pants? I'm totally fine wearing no underwear with jeans (that's not going to get on any surface!) and when it comes to dresses? so many chances to mess that up, I would never not wear underwear and I hope most women would say the same... hahaha. unless I'm wearing tights. in which case, not wearing underwear... still a bit weird because they're sheer, but I'm pretty okay with it.

  • raedium@xanga
    I go commando a lot, to be honest. But I'm never around and touching things with my bareness. Mostly it's just under my clothes, because underwear get on my nerves. Panties really aren't all that sanitary anyway, so in a way it's better, but still!
  • raedium@xanga

    @Shy___Away@xanga - I'm not wearing any either. *high five*<3

  • HollowTendencies@xanga
  • NeedToBeThiin_x@xanga

    I'm not wearing any right now XD but I suppose that's cause I'm oin my pj's >_<
    Last time I went commando was the morning after a very...err.. *interesting* night before & I had lost them hahahaa.. Oh good times ^_^

    But as it goes.. I love cute undies WAAAAAY too much :)

  • schallerbrandon@xanga

    Definitely sexy. Even to know that a chick is going commando is sexy, it easily aligns the mind with the act itself while leaving some to the imagination; one could consider it foreplay for men. 

  • JusticeCho@xanga

    I prefer commando, besides the fact that it's healthier it is sexy.  Why are thongs sexy?  Probably because in general the more skin you see = more sexy.  Not sure though.  I like going commando it's definitely more comfortable.

    Also if your friends are sexually active not only have they probably sat on their couch naked, but they've probably had sex in every area of their home.  And even if they didn't whoever lived there before probably has.  There's nothing wrong with it, unless you end up sitting on the couch a few minutes after they finish and it's still messy.

  • mashroob@xanga

    i never knew some people found being under garmentless sexy..i havent worn bras or pantiies under my clothes in over 2 years because its comfortable.. i do still own them but i use them as workout clothes. i'm like a partial nudist when people arent around. i'll go out on the porch in sheer black undies and smoke a cig and watch the cars drive by. one of my many pleasures i guess.. breeze on the bare skin is awfully nice. idk what i'm talking about

  • dork936@xanga

    it's okay... we can throw those jeans out.

  • anonymous
    I didn't think so many people thought underwear was so uncomfortable.
  • chanchina@xanga

    I Loved that movie. It is all what one wishes to do. As Long as they are wearing something to cover themselves.

  • maniibabi@xanga

    This subject came about with my friends and I. My close guys are veryy sexually active and they think it's actuall a turn off when girls don't wear underwear. Ha, maybe they are just totally different than other guys?(:

  • openmindedgirlk@xanga

    I think its the whole easy access thing, guys go ape shit for it lol, but then again I know someguys who don't find it attactive. It just varies.

  • BobbyCK@xanga

    I think I'm the only guy that finds going commando not sexy. haha. Well, if she has no underwear, you take off the pants or skirt or whatever, and blam. shes just naked right there. I find underwear on a girl quite sexy honestly, just the way the fit. Its sexy. I like it. Theres a certain degree of sexyness taking the underwear off also. If a girl goes commando and shes wearing jeans... wtf?

  • lenybobsyouruncle@xanga

    less layers to get in the way. and there is some symbolic meaning that could have several papers written on it...


    my bet is that it has to do with letting the inner animal out.
  • lusciousddja@xanga
    Regarding your comment...

    IM COMMANDO RIGHT NOW

  • Heartzmusick@xanga

    Commando...love it! Especially in jeans. I dont have a problem with it cause I wear jeans so no one sees anything and my butt is not touching anything public. but I have no quams with underwear..we are very close friends.
