This thong story, unfortunately, has a sad ending. It actually still haunts me to this day.
In the late 2000s, I dated a girl who attended my school and who I had known for a while. Growing up, she was athletic. She had a tomboy side but could marry both the tomboy and preppy look very well.
Regrettably, I was timid when we dated and never was straightforward with my thong kink/preference. She was a boyshorts/bikini type of girl. So sadly, I never saw her in a thong.
After we broke up, we stayed friends. Despite not working out, we had a good friendship chemistry. I had also helped her over a few months with some stuff/errands, as friends do, and she would routinely say, "I really do owe you one."
Fast forward a bit, and we got together to see a horror movie one winter night. At my house, before we left, she said, "Oh look at this, I got these really funny undies the other day," She showed me a butt selfie on her phone in a pair of bikini underwear that said "TGIF." Right then and there, it hit me like a lightning bolt. Finally, after all those times she said, "I owe you one," I finally knew what I would request.
After the movie, I said, "by the way, I know how you can repay me for those times I helped you out," and explained I wanted her to send me thong selfies. As my heart raced, she thankfully responded positively.
About two weeks later, I got several text notifications, and there they were. She did her own photoshoot, and it was better than I expected. She wore a red triangle 2000s-style thong (red strings, white triangle) in various positions. Up close, laying on the bed, bent over. My heart was pounding looking at them. I made sure to transfer them and save them on my computer.
A few years later, I got rid of that original computer and erased it clean before disposing of it. However, before doing so, I moved any thong photos/vids (there were a few dozen) I had onto a USB. I could have SWORN I copied those thong photos she sent me. As I later opened my new computer and checked my USB, I searched and ... they were not there. I must have F'd up and failed to highlight them to move them to the USB. My computer was dying and really at a crappy stage, so it's possible something got screwed up. I recall some other photos and videos missing, so something went awry.
We keep in contact occasionally, but unfortunately, that phase of our friendship has passed. I never told her I lost them, nor could I ask her for something like that again.
Either way, that tragic failure of that USB still haunts me, as those were probably the top-5 best thong selfies I ever saw.
