I apologize to anyone out there who might not be nauseated by the sight of a seventy year-old ass in a thong.

Come on, now we're not allowed to talk about b*ys AND old men anymore? Isn't this board all about old(er) men and their hobbies?

I think anybody over 30 in thongs in public looks as silly as a 20 yo lad in tweeds smoking a pipe.

-- What's wrong in wearing thongs at the beach? I thought that in N. AMERICA and in AUSTRALIA they're light sandals or flip-flops for the feet?

Sorry, I thought thongs are the skimpy little swimunderwear. That's what I meant anyway.

English is not my first language so please forgive the error.

-- Khun Donatella-t,
- No need to apologise!
- Actually you are quite correct, (a Thong, in one of its several meanings, is not too disimilar to a G String or to a Posing Pouch, I u'stand.?) - I was just trying to muddy the waters by dragging across a red herring, starting an hare or whatever ... !

Oh dear...and here I was planning on wearing just those when I finally went on holiday at the beach! Oh but wait...I'm Malaysian and a beach bum, so I guess I don't really count, right?

C'mon guys...since when did we become fashion police for other gay men? I always thought the only people who subscribed to the fashion police mentality were queens and ladies with too much time and money and too little brains.

Here's a late Xmas gift for Taoboxer and James, since they appear to think it is appropriate beach apparel for men of this age.

So Icon513, you do wear thongs at home....thanks for the pic

I don't own a thong and never will.

I have some self-respect and self-awareness.

There's a guy who spends time at Dongtan beach around this time each year...although I haven't seen him this year. He wears some of the most outrageous thongs on a very sad frame. Whilst he's not a pretty sight, the New Years regulars at Dongtan have missed him this year....particularly when he wears his outrageous thong emblazoned with "pussy pussy". He has a very seductive saunter which he's probably practiced for years....with a lot of polishing still required! He is the unpaid entertainment of Dongtan. So Icon if it's you...please play the game and get yourself along to Dongtan....along with your fine collection of thongs. Lol

Self-awareness? But not aware enough to know when he is being ageist and plain rude!

I personally don't like thongs either but I don't think I have the right to make fun of people who do.

Sadly one of the prerequisites of being a moderator is not good manners!

The guy in the pic doesn't look 60-to-70 to me. Maybe it's a matter of pounds, not age.

In any case, as long as I don't malign gym queens (I probably never would, in fact), I don't see any cause to insult the less-fit, the overage, or both.

Is this one more appealing, maybe?

The guy sitting down looks really nauseous or embarrassed. Actually, probably both.

I say good on him. People who have the confidence to be what they want to be whether fat, skinny or whatever should be welcome on Dongtan beach. I;ve spent many happy hours there marvelling at the whales in thongs and jandals (Ha!) dragging their big butts/bellies to the water and deckchair. I don't let it detract from my enjoyment. Good on them for gettin' on with what they enjoy.

I remember a guy who came daily for a massage a few years back, very bloated and obviously quite ill. Not a pretty sight but good on him too for getting what he needed. I thought thats what I'll do should I be struck.

Certainly don't want the fat, beauty, agist or whatever police interfering in what I do.

Now anybody want to talk about CRUISING FOR SEX
