I don't get it either. I assume the pearls represent anal beads or something?

Thoughts on wearing a necklace (men)?

Male necklaces don’t appeal to me. For a man, it seems like a need to project something about themselves. I don’t get that feeling for women as that seems to be a cultural norm. Hopefully this is not too sexist.
I’d put a pink ribbon on my Head before I’d wear an Apple Watch. That’s my personal feeling of the order of masculinity as far as what I’d care to wear.
So to each their own.
I don’t look down on anyone for what they might choose to wear. If you personally don’t feel comfortable in it, then it won’t look right on you. But mostly because you will put out vibes that you are uncomfortable.
If you’re a male and come out wearing a bikini with a flower in your hair, and you project confidence and move like you don’t feel awkward, then great for you, and I probably won’t think anything about it.
I’m not sure if anyone really wants to know. But definitly juvenile.
When a man ejacultes on a woman’s neck and or chest
In general, and in my opinion, the acceptable jewelry/accessories for men are as follows:
- a watch
- a single ring, worn on the left hand ring finger
Who makes up that stuff... sigh
Good grief.
Puerile, to put it mildly.
And what is it with this brittle and fragile sense of masculinity that you seem to find in some corners of the US, robustly policed by other men?
Candidly, I don't see this in Europe, at least not in northern Europe; men will wear ear-rings (usually one ear-stud), or wear necklaces or chains without anyone commenting negatively, or otherwise.

Would love to tell you, @Scepticalscribe, but even after a few decades of living in the US, I still can't figure most of it myself. Though I'll say the younger generations are a lot more laid back and open-minded compared to older ones. Which does add to the tensions here.
I'd consider myself fairly Americanized nowadays, but I still find myself mouthing a silent "What the hell is wrong with you," when people do or say stupid things in public. I could write a tome about it. I ought to. But no one would buy such a book.

If said book were legal to throw at someone, perhaps it could sell.
Make a point. And they’ll get to read why they got hit with said book.
Between you and @bradl, I'm not sure who hates their fellow human more.
A book flogging never hurt anyone. Now stoning on the other hand...
Before everyone gets too down on the Americans for the pearls thing I will point out that it was quite a well used term where I grew up near Winchester.
As an Indian, some of us are brought up wearing jewelry (it's a thing in some parts of India). So I have about 4-6 necklaces around me. All are religiously connected in some way (gemstones in relation to the planets, rudraksha, tulsi). I do wear "bracelets", it's a popular thing in India as well. Both bracelets are gifts from my mom's mom and I love her dearly.

I would have posted that but I wasn't sure if it was a rule violatopn

Okay: Suggest diamonds, sapphires, rubies or - perish the thought - emeralds instead.
All stunning stones.
What is the problem with some of these gentlemen?

I have had this necklace for the last almost 20 years and I wear it every day.
Have you been to Mont-Saint-Michel in France? A place every paratrooper should visit in his life. (sorry for the offtopic-ness)
I haven't but I have been throughout Europe when I was with 10th Special Forces Group in the past. If you have more information on Mont-Saint-Michel I'd appreciate it. Are you a paratrooper?
I wore a thin gold necklace with a Saint Christopher medallion (size of a quarter) on it, it was tasteful and I liked to wear it, a lot of the time it was under my clothes but I knew it was there, it was from a part of my life when I had some form of faith, I did lose my faith many years ago (long story!) and stopped wearing it.
So if you want to wear one, do it. It is your body, wear what you want!

If you have the right style, a (thin) gold chain looks good IMHO.
I wore one with a religious symbol around my neck for years. I made sure to get one that was subtle, and hung low enough to tuck away.
Stopped wearing it more because of my evolution in thoughts on religion than fashion choice.
It is a lot harder to pick one that is classy than you would think though. I would make sure to try out many different lengths, and link patterns before committing.
