I am humbled, but I am surprised. I have about eight Danskin 1100 in their original packages, from when they went from nylon and rubber to polydamide and nylon. But it seems I have a dancebelt in my collection that Dr. Dancebelt hasn't....the original Danskin thin thong.
I too must admit that I wore the Danskin 1100 backwards, even despite the picture provided with the package, which clearly showed the buttstrap in the buttcrack. I guess back then we guys weren't ready to accept a thong buttstrap. I still remember the first time I saw a Rudi Genrich thong on a guy in GQ magazine. How could a guy wear that? Not knowing that male ballet danseurs for years had to forego the thong-effect so that their butt muscles could be seen properly working.
Dr. Dancebelt has sent me pictures of his black Les Steinhardt nutcracker. I have the same in white, in medium and large. I wouldn't wear this style today...too uncomfortable....but I, as one of them, brave the boys who wore these girdles.
I don't know if I agree with modern day dancebelts. Somehow I think that every guy should pay his dues in a nutcracker. But then I'm old fashioned, and still think a woman needs a male escort. Go figure!
