In recent days I’ve been more daring than usual with the spandex I wear in public. Yesterday, I wore a long-sleeve cycling jersey and tights to the local library. This morning, I walked around the nearby university in my new wrestling singlet with a long-sleeve spandex shirt (UA style) underneath for warmth.

It feels odd having bipolar feelings of vulnerability versus liberation. One moment, I just want to hide when I think about all the people around me, and yet moments later, I will feel natural and proud of what I am wearing, comfortable in my own skin and the skin-tight spandex over it. I think the latter is what exhibitionists feel.

The only inconvenience is, where to put the keys and wallet? Only the cycling jerseys give you some place to put it. Someone should invent a codpiece that holds my other junk.

    I know that feeling! I like wearing my lycra in public too. UA Shirts are quite normal gear in summer. As for the keys, this is why I seldom wear lycra tights… Too unpractical.

    In any case, I don’t feel like an exhibitionist. Not at all! I don’t want to intimidate anyone, and I am not naked at all. So for me, there is no similarity between wearing skintight clothes in public and exhibitionism.

    i wear a wrestling singlet – people have complained when i wore only briefs and boxer-briefs, though nothing indecent was showing. if girls can dress like skanks, why can’t i wear spiderman boxer-briefs?
