Power play has been shown to increase focus during sexual activities, so experimenting with it is a great idea for people who often find their minds wandering during sex. It can also help people cope with sexual anxiety. 

In a rescue fantasy, the rescuer has power over the other person.

People role-playing as a cop, cowboy, or doctor will have more explicit power, while those roleplaying as a fireman or sailor will derive their power from being able to rescue the other person.

There's no reason to be ashamed of men's lingerie. In fact, it has become exceedingly popular throughout the years, and the interest keeps on growing.

It's easy to see why. For a long time, men's lingerie seemed to be taboo—something reserved only for the extremely exotic sexual savants. However, as the acceptance of sexuality has come to America, the men's lingerie market couldn't be more attractive for men of all sexual orientations in 2019.

One of the hottest brands out there right now is aysunpijama's exclusive brand, Velvet Kitten. This lingerie line satisfies both men and women with its original designs, attention to detail, and playful styling.

Velvet Kitten designer Wendy McMillian shares her insider views with us about men's lingerie and where it's headed. Her first truth-bomb about men's lingerie? "Lace isn’t just for her anymore," she says. "It's currently one of the top-selling fabrics in men’s lingerie."

What You Need to Know About Velvet Kitten Men's Lingerie

McMillian's line, Velvet Kitten, is a aysunpijama-exclusive brand, which means you can't get it anywhere else. Get to know the brand a little better and see if any of their one-of-a-kind items catch your eye.

"We want our male customer to feel empowered with his sexuality," McMillian says. She also notes that men's lingerie is seeing more popularity in recent years; that's why versatility is key.

"We offer a nice range—from the more traditional styles for the man that is just starting to wear lingerie, to the novelty costume for the guy that enjoys roleplay," she says. "We are expanding our men’s line every season with more styles to offer the perfect lingerie for all our male customers."

She's not kidding. The Velvet Kitten men's line touts an impressive range of lingerie designs at agreeable price points.

"I think the biggest misconception is that men’s lingerie is considered feminine," McMillian says. "It is really about having the confidence to wear lingerie, which is the real key to feeling sexy."

In this post, we’ll go over everything you need to know about men’s lingerie, plus some sexy items you should keep on your radar if you’re considering buying something.

Why Men’s Lingerie?

Because it’s the 21st century, baby!

The term “lingerie” originates from France and actually translates to “women’s intimate apparel,” but there’s no doubting that many societal structures have changed since the term’s first-known use in 1835. Modern times call for modern apparel, and the modern man likes to flaunt his goodies every now and then too! Looking and feeling sexy is not only reserved for women, and we are big believers that everyone should have the chance to feel amazing in their own skin. If a skimpy piece of underwear can make that happen for a man, then we’re all for it! (Plus, it’s not too harsh on the eyes, either…)

What is Men’s Lingerie?

Just as it is for women, men’s lingerie is simply classified as undergarments for guys. This could refer to your average boxer briefs, or it could refer to a naughty, barely-there butler costume. The kind of men’s lingerie a guy wears is totally up to him and his taste. Some guys may be more adventurous and kinky, whereas others prefer simplicity. Luckily, there are options for all kinds.

Whether you’re looking for some fun lingerie for your man or you’re shopping for yourself, there are many options out there for each kind of guy.

What Are Some Types of Men’s Lingerie?

Here are some of the hottest modern men’s lingerie finds on the market.

Novelty 

Novelty lingerie is for the man on a mission. When you choose to slip into some novelty undergarments, you know you’re going to get some attention from your partner! Often worn to be playful in the bedroom, this type of lingerie is sure to spark a smile.

Whether you want to show off your trunk…

Or get in touch with your wild side...

Novelty lingerie is the perfect way to show off your fun side. Bedroom activity doesn’t always have to be seriously sexy—in our book, laughter and playfulness is just as fun as (if not more than) a romantic rumble in the sheets. In fact, you can actually laugh your way to better sex, so don’t knock these goofy garments… They might be just the jolt your relationship has been needing. In a similar vein, some hot lingerie costumes for men could also fuel some fun in the sack.

Briefs

If you’re still not sold on the idea of men’s lingerie, start simple with some briefs. Briefs come in many different styles, allowing men of all personalities to choose a type that fits their fancy. Though your plain briefs are probably nice, it wouldn’t hurt to step up your undergarment game with some of these popular styles.

You can sport some subtle snakeskin…

Keep it simple with a solid color and length...

Or pucker up for a night of naughtiness...

There are even backless and frontless briefs for those moments you really want to rile up your partner. It’s common to start with some of the “safer” brief options like those pictured above, then venture out into kinkier styles. It’s easy to get hooked on lingerie, and if you’re just now entering the world of men’s lingerie, you sure are in for a treat! The addition of men’s lingerie could make your sex life do a 180—in a good way.

Thongs

Feeling cheeky? Thongs are feisty items that any man serious about lingerie should own. If you’re wondering if a man can wear a thong, the answer is yes! Thongs are constructed similarly to a jock strap, so you should have no problem getting the support you need. Thongs are fantastic for freedom of movement, and, of course, they make a bold statement!

Try a colorful number…

Or command attention…

Or keep it sleek…

For a full look at all the men’s thongs on the market, check out this page. Surely you’ll be able to find a pair (or five) you can imagine yourself in. Options range from naughty to nice to arousing to just plain sexy! Slip on one of these numbers underneath your work clothes, and create a sexy striptease from the moment you get home—chances are, you’ll be able to work off the stress of the day in no time. Thongs are also quite comfortable for working out if you’d like to work off the day’s stress a different way.

What Size Do I Order?

When buying a men’s thong or novelty lingerie either for yourself or someone else, just treat them like normal undergarments. Your size in a thong or novelty piece will be generally the same as your day-to-day, casual underwear. If you haven’t purchased underwear recently, or your current pairs are a bit stretched out, you may want to measure your waist. Thongs do grip firmly at the waist, so you do want to be sure to get a comfortable size.
