Man Has Always Enjoyed Smooth Silk on His Skin
Dear Abby | March 4th, 2026 | Letter 1 of 3
DEAR ABBY: Since I was a small boy, silk fabric has always made me feel safe. I remember wearing tights in the bathroom in front of the mirror or under my pajamas. Throughout the years, if nobody was around after work, I continued, but not around my wife, kids or now grandkids. I don't know why I enjoy them now in my 50s. Is this OK, or is something wrong with me? Am I missing one can in my six-pack? -- SMOOTH AS SILK IN VIRGINIA.
DEAR SMOOTH: I don't think you are missing anything in your six-pack or anywhere else. Males have been known to wear silk tights because it helps them stay warmer in cold weather. They have also been known to do it because it feels good next to their skin. I wish you had mentioned why you felt it was necessary to smuggle this past your wife all these years, because there is nothing shameful about it. (Perhaps if you discuss it with her, she will tell you she wasn't fooled but never mentioned it because you didn't seem eager to talk.)
