Would you care if your wife or girlfriend wore a thong bikini to the beach or the pool?

Going on a trip with my bf soon and I was curious. Most of my bikinis are thongs and I don't want to buy a whole new set for a trip. He doesn't care, but I was wondering how most men are. What if it was a family vacation? would that change anything?

thx!!!

Has he said anything about his family being on the conservative side? I presume a beach day/vacation hasn't happened with his family yet, so that's why you're asking?

If this is truly a family-friendly vacation with minors present then maybe you could buy a few bottoms with more coverage that match.

If this isn't a family vacation and just the two of you, just make sure of what the customs are of the area where you are vacationing! The US is generally very conservative compared to Europe, but you could be practically naked on South Beach Miami and and you'd fit right in!

His family is definitely not conservative, and we've been with his parents to their lake house but never to the beach together. His mom and dad are going to Miami and invited us along! No minors, just the 4 of us.

No swimming at the lake house, so this is the first swimsuit experience with them? As I said, you'll probably be overdressed on Miami's beaches! ;)
 
I don't think I could reasonably dictate what anyone else wears.

And let's face it: plenty of people go to the beach just to flaunt it. So, it's pretty much anything goes (insofar as clothing is concerned) at the beach anyhow; outside of complete nudity, of course.

Maybe a better question is: how do you feel about it?

If any particular aspect of your physique is on display, essentially: would it bother you if, potentially, anyone looks? Including his parents.

If so, I would adjust accordingly.

I'll be honest with you: there's nothing more appealing than a woman's body. Adding confidence to that would only make her more so.

In fact, sometimes: her confidence alone--genuine confidence that is--is enough to be sexy.

Still, I at least (and most dudes, I hope) would know better than to be annoying about it.

Don't tolerate anyone's shit, of course. But ultimately: do what would make you feel comfortable--with the understanding that: that is also, naturally, a product of the group's overall comfort.

Wow thank you for the insightful response! I personally feel great about it, I've always loved my body and I don't mind people looking at me. That's the main reason why I don't own any more modest swimsuits lol. My bf said his parents wouldn't judge me, but I didn't know if that was the norm. I'm very confident in my body and I don't mind if someone looks at my butt cheeks lol.
 
If it were my choice I'd opt out of a thong for my wife, but I recognize it's not, so Id express discontent on the front end and leave it at that....problem is she's insanely jealous herself so she's a visible dickprint on my tight trunks away from crashing out herself...so probably about the second time I get a 2nd look from another woman passing by on the beach, I and the rest of the beach will get a last look at her thong as she heads back to her room to change.
 
As far as OP, even if the parents aren't or don't dress conservatively themselves...you really can't go wrong in exercising some aesthetic restraint in front of a bfs mother, especially if there is long term intention present. You don't need granny bottoms per se, but something that perhaps implies to her one of his friends or his father doesn't have the same sexual chance with you as her son does could be the difference between her being a future ally or hindrance in your relationship future.

My wife wouldn’t but I don’t think I’d care, depending on the beach. You said there won’t be families there, and that matters.

It really comes down to the individual relationships. If your bf doesn’t care, that’s PROBABLY an indication that he thinks his parents will be okay with it as well.

I think that it depends entirely on the context of where you'll be. If it's a place with families and kids, I'd be uncomfortable if my girlfriend was wearing a thong. If it's a private backyard pool with adults or an adult-oriented resort, or something like that, then I'd love to see my girlfriend in a thong. And from your photos, you'd look amazingly sexy in a thong. I think that the context of where you are wearing it is the key part of the decision.

I love it when all women not just my wife embrace their bodies and feel confident and sexy. I like when mine does because I get to see so many others drool over her......
Same reason I wear sungas and speedos

In New York, at least my part of the state we have 4 seasons. Many people dress appropriately and often fashionable for each season. This goes for texture of the fabric, weight of the fabric, color of the fabric and material of the fabric. Generally one dresses appropriately for the season; and where / with whom you are socializing with.

Bikini wise, I prefer a more modest one piece suit on women. Would I want my GF to wear a thong Infront of my friends, No. Would I want my GF to wear a string or thong in front of my friends wives Hell No, because one wrong look or glance by my friend, taken notice of his wife, may land him in an hours nagging session ( even if he did nothing wrong). Would I want my GF to wear a thong on a beach / pool or event that is family and or Minor orientated . Nope. :cool:

If the OP's BF likes the idea great. But remember there is a right time / right place for all things.
 
This is interesting...

And not for nothing, but I kind of like the 30's one-piece suit. The 50's and 60's suits had nice patterns.

I'll take it a step further; I don't think modern society is a place where an average BF could even feel safe to not be OK with an idea that would restrict or encumber how his GF dresses, regardless of how that may negatively affect him and I don't think OP is all that unaware.
Given that we're getting into a social space where the average man has to be ok with essentially being virtually, figuratively, or at times literally cuckolded, lest he be deemed controlling or insecure, it's seems rather convenient to simply rest ones haunch upon "he's ok with it"......sounds like the "that's fine" we get from gfs and wives all the time, only without an enforcement mechanism in place.

Not to really sidetrack the conversation, but I think it is worthy of inspection...

1. When you are in a relationship with someone, you do not own them. They are a free person still. The relationship--dare I say: love--would not be sincere without that freedom. Freedom to leave.

One cannot force what to say; one cannot force what to do. That's the part, unfortunately, many people (if not most) still do not truly grasp. We are still very "traditional," perhaps, in a lot of ways. Victorian (if not Medieval, or Pre-Historic).

At the same time...

2. If you are truly committed to someone (formally married): you would probably not want to make another person miserable. At least if you plan on sticking it out.

In an extreme sense, male or female: you have to worry about their physical well being too. For example: if you are a smoker--don't smoke in the house! Don't put someone else's health at risk. In any way. Smoking is just the beginning.

That's what would be wrong though; the lack of consideration. Being selfish.

And it's also a two-way street. Simply imposing one's will upon another--for unspoken psychological insecurities--is not healthy either. It's passive aggressive.

Basically, what I'm getting at is: if I had a wife or girlfriend, I would never demand what they do. I simply would live by example. And if ultimately: she chooses to match that way of being; great--but that has to come from her own conclusions. Out of respect; both for her and myself.

(Having said all that: Will Smith should get a divorce.)
