Männertanga. This is the name of the brand new book of inspiration and facts about a tiny pair of men’s underpants that is extremely polarizing all over the world. Hotly loved and collected with fascination by some, mercilessly rejected and defamed by others. Yet the little object of lust truly deserves better. The three authors from Berlin enthusiastically raise the men’s thong to the literary stage as a real top star and start a grandiose revival.
This is the name of the brand new book of inspiration and facts about a tiny pair of men’s underpants that is extremely polarizing all over the world. Because a thong is not a thong at all, whereas a thong can be a thong. A real hullabaloo. There is still plenty of need for clarification and even an exciting history. Did you know, for example, that Paco Rabanne launched the world’s first men’s thong on the catwalk in 1969 and had it sewn in a tranquil village in Swabia? Or that the men’s thong experienced a real hype in the 80s and 90s? Back then, for example, the five boys from “Take That” had their (k)naked ass cheeks photographed for a fan postcard – framed by skimpy thongs. And they weren’t the only ones. Hotly loved and collected with fascination by some, mercilessly rejected and defamed by others. Yet the little object of lust truly deserves better. The three authors from Berlin enthusiastically raise the men’s thong to the literary stage as a real top star and start a grandiose revival.
Of course, the red thread in the book eagerly pursues the countless prejudices that are often circulated by notorious thong deniers. Thongs pinch, thongs make you impotent, thongs look feminine and, above all, they are gay. With relish, the book writers immediately ask themselves whether, by implication, women’s thongs must be lesbian. Only clear facts and more than 160 really hot pictures help the truth. 22 chapters in 144 pages pull the plug on every philistine and become a feast for all thong fans.
Männertanga is a mercilessly cheeky book that analyzes, discusses and, above all, provokes. A must-have for all those who love string. No one minces their words here and certainly no hand in front of the crown jewels. Only bare facts count here.
