My "Thing" For Flip Flops

I've already written quite a bit about my thing for loafers . But, until now, I've revealed nothing about another turn-on of mine - flip flops.  Yes, in much the same way I scope out men in loafers, I'm  also keeping an eye out for guys wearing flip flops, especially if they look like this...

This comes as no surprise to those of you who've been following my photostream on Flickr, where I've posted hundreds of photos of guys wearing flip flops., but some of you may be wondering...WHY?

Judging from the activity on my Flickr photostream, there seem to be two distinct audiences - those who like flip flops and those who definitely DO NOT.  Many who favorite my men in loafer shots seem to have no interest in guys wearing flip flop shots, and vice versa. 

I can proudly say that I like BOTH!  It's kinda like going from one extreme to the other.  Loafers and socks provide a sexy cover for the feet, and flip flops proudly display them.  Now, that's not to say that I'm turned on by just any guy wearing flip flops...some men simply have NO BUSINESS wearing them. 

But if the feet are well-shaped and well-maintained (like these)...I say bring 'em on!

Where do you stand on flip-flops?
