Not like we'd know... :(


I have a feeling someday I'll get a nice surprise TG from Sinuhue with a real pic in it. :D

I bet I'd look better...*evil grin*


until you prove it, we'll just stick with me mauling their innocence....

Just like you shouldn't say, "I want to be a mod" as this would forever ruin your chances of actually becoming one.... :eek:

I don't think he's counting on it...

I like the first one on this page (http://www.lingerietemptations.com/index.php?cPath=1).

I've promised that when I finally leave NS for good, I will post a real picture of myself as a farewell gift.

You dont think I would ever want to be a mod, now, do you?

I think you'll come around...

Oh, now that is truly wonderful...I've seen some really terrible animal prints, but this is just gorgeous! I'm thinking more and more of ordering online...you just don't get this kind of selection in the regular stores!

Here are some very nice baby-doll sleepers ( http://www.lingerietemptations.com/index.php?cPath=8&page=2)...I don't like any of them as much as I like nudity. Nudity is cheaper, too. Seriously, how many times could you wear any of those before they got boring?
Hey, there's an idea!
I can stay true to my communist ideals and be sexy (I bought some cheap underwear once, it came in a three-pack, and I wore one of the pairs, once before I got grossed out and had to stop)....
No underwear for me!
Like, ever. I'll save some money, save the little kids in China who have been making my thongs... I look better naked, anyway.
The man has forced me to wear skivies for too long! I just took off my thong.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go to work.
fyi for all of you in the states: If some chick named maggie calls you during dinner hour, no, she is not trying to sell you anything, and yes, she is thinking about sex.

Call all the married men and hope their wives don't pick up.

My god, we've peaked and crested a thousand posts on this topic! Wow!

You've got a good point about a particular outfit losing it's zing after a while...that is definitely a problem. I certainly don't want to have to buy twenty different lingerie sets! But it depends on how you use the sets you do have...I put them on under my clothes so that I can play the mean game of 'flash you when no one is looking' with my husband when there is no possibility of us actually being able to consummate anything. It gets him so worked up, that by the time we are finally alone, the lingerie has already done its job and is no longer necessary:)

Hey...on the topic of your communism...

...a friend and I once floated the idea of having some good, working class porn for our lefty brothers and sisters...we'd call it "Red Hot Ass" and it would feature good little commies, anarchists, socialists and so on in provocative poses...you could do our 'Mao's little red book' layout if you don't want to bother with lingerie.... :D

Call all the married men and hope their wives don't pick up.
Or hope the wives are into sharing...(my number is ***-**** :eek: )

Meh, I'm bi though I'm protective of my man but I might consider sharing if he wanted to one day. I've said too much. :p

"gift"? Wow...
More like a "booby prize"...

Heh, of course I'd have to comply...Ach, who cares about compliance? :p
Where'd everybody go, anyway?

Mao's little red magazine... They really need that lecherous smiley... :(

Is Monday "Labor Day" in Canada?

Thats kinda depressing-here,Labor Day seems to mark the end of summer...which I always hate to see go.
I like the fall, but its overshadowed by winter, which depresses me for months straight.

No. Labour day is in September.

Yikes! It's true! Hot girls really ARE egotistical!

(there's a compliment in there for ya:))

Yummy.

I really don't care for lingerie; what I want is beneath it :fluffle:

*sigh* I'll put the steam back in by posting a picture of the incredible, beautiful, perfect me (http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8536/0032ne.jpg).


Ah!! Steamy Indeed!!
Very nice. Would that I were available to ravage you repeatedly.

Again-very nice.

No. Labour day is in September.
I'm terrible for knowing what holidays are about. It just says civic holiday. Labour day actually gets named when it comes around...whenever that is, I'm not sure.

Yikes! It's true! Hot girls really ARE egotistical!

(there's a compliment in there for ya:))

Yummy.


hey Sin-you know the deal, right? We each grab a leg and make a wish???

*sigh* I'll put the steam back in by posting a picture of the incredible, beautiful, perfect me (http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/8536/0032ne.jpg).
I suppose it's hopeless when CL starts talking about the weather and holidays...

Yikes! It's true! Hot girls really ARE egotistical!

(there's a compliment in there for ya:))

Lol, yup. Big-headedness brought me where I am today.

It's the only good but modest picture I could find :p

Hey!!! Less talking-more jumping jacks !! I want hair flying all over the place.

(Dont you hate when the cute ones know stuff?)



:p

My husband and I adore lingerie. I have so much of it I don't remember it all... Really funky panties too, with rhinestones and such. I have hundreds. Stockings, garter belts, 6" heels. I love it, he LOVES IT!

A psychiatrist gave me an explanation as to why men prefer lingerie to naked. And he said most do. (How many have to look through Victoria's Secret!?) It's the hint of what's under. The hint and anticipation. He told me that if there were 6 playboy model type women, and 3 in lingerie, 3 naked, almost every guy will go for one w/lingerie.

From what I've experienced in my life, he is soooooo right! It can be a long tease, but also texture and such. Wearing gorgeous lingerie and heels and dancing stripper style for your man makes their eyes nearly pop out of their head. (It helps if you play some music by Garbage ;) )

This has been my experience with men my whole life, and was told by a psychiatrist that in general, most men love it.

(And they don't have to "tear it off" either... lol! ;)

I suppose it's hopeless when CL starts talking about the weather and holidays...


Yeah-Its the equivalent of laying face down in a gutter out side South Street Seaport

Lol, yup. Big-headedness brought me where I am today.Where is that exactly?

It's the only good but modest picture I could find :p
I'm pretty sure we didn't ask for modest...................................... this IS the lingerie topic you know!

Hey!!! Less talking-more jumping jacks !!

which jack?
i wouldn't mind jumping jack nicholson...

Lol, yup. Big-headedness brought me where I am today.

It's the only good but modest picture I could find :p


Who wants modest? I want you climbing the monkey bar in a short skirt....modest-Ptoooohey!!!

*L*

(And they don't have to "tear it off" either... lol! ;)
Well, there's always the edible undies....

...and that paint on latex you can peel off....

...I once posed with some friends in the nude, but with some really fantastic body paint...all of us native, and each one of us represented a season. I was fall. We were buck...but you couldn't really tell because the paint almost seemed like clothing. That would be fun...the paint didn't come off easily, but it took almost six hours to get it on:(

which jack?


NICE ONE!!! I hadnt even intended for that !

sounds a little like a full moon ritual I went to with some witch friends...

So this isn't about lingerie'? Should I delete my post?

;)

You're sharp....and female HMmmmm...I likee

So this isn't about lingerie'? Should I delete my post?
Oh no. This is absolutely about lingerie...and how lingerie affects us. That's why we keep getting a bit sidetracked, but really, lingerie and sexuality aren't completely seperate topics!

Well, I'm off. Time to do some housework and get ready for the movies.

I'll give y'all one more show of my holy cuteness (http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/8697/0015xa.jpg) before I go.

This is actually a chat? ummm..... :confused:

Well, there's always the edible undies....

i don't think they work really... well at least not for me.... i was given a candy one and i ate it before i could try it on..... oh well

Thinkof how awful the chocolate must be to stay in that type form... it's probably mostly WAX! Now if Godiva made them.... ;)

If you say so. I'm barely scratching ideal weight from the bottom, last time I checked my BMI, so I'm a bit worried about getting underweight.
Not BMI, body fat %. They are different. It means I have nearly 20 lbs of fat on my body. That's plenty for someone my size.

If Godiva made them, I'd eat my own undies! :D

Good God,Man-NOOOOO!!!

We have a majority of young hotties and some are posting pics!!

Nothing about BMIs or BMs!!!!!

I know the difference. I got a check up with all sorts of nifty gadgets. One of them was a scale that calculated my %. I calculated my BMI on AOL a while ago.

If Godiva made them, I'd eat my own undies! :D
Ay...could you just imagine....mmmmmm.....

...but to be quite honest, I never got the whole 'mixing sex with food a la 9 1/2 weeks' thing....a friend once bought me chocolate body paint, but I really didn't feel like using if for its intended purpose. Anyone else find food...um....sexy?

I could howl, you holy cute thing....
She looks awfully breakable... :D

I'm thinking of a pair of panties-not cany or chocolate,but -carpaccio.

She looks awfully breakable... :D


I'm capable of being gentle...

but maybe you're right. maybe all that would be left would be clumps of hair and teeth...

Anyway, as we were speaking of modest, here's a picture of me taking a shower (http://img290.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14343118cq.jpg). :D

Anyone else find food...um....sexy?

the actual food sexy, or as an addition? i personally, don't associate sex with food. or visa versa. i keep the two things seperate. unless, of course chocolate is envolved....

She looks awfully breakable... :D

I whole-heartedly agree.

uh.. .was Eh-Oh going to post an adorable pic?

Anyway, as we were speaking of modest, here's a picture of me taking a shower (http://img290.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14343118cq.jpg). :D

i don't have any adorable pics. this (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y242/fhashg/HPIM0086.jpg) maybe?

I thought I was the only one who got a blank page. TEASE!!!! ;)

As for Eh-oh's question about food...well, I know a few people who really enjoy eating things off one another. That doesn't particularly attract me. And I've heard that Japanese businessmen sometimes pay for naked women to be living serving platters for sushi...picture guys in suits plucking kappa maki off the thigh of a naked woman and continuing their boring conversation...(how could you not try to touch more than the food is what I'd like to know!). I'm not into eating anything other than what is naturally secreted at the time:)

nice... but do you have anything more, umm, revealing ? ;) :DNot on my computer... and don't ask me to go get it; it's raining and I'm afraid I'll get hit by lightning if I venture out from underneath what I have chosen for shelter. I have a picture of me in my BSA uniform (http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/8497/14444170jf.jpg), though. Aerou wanted to see it...

Edit: I'm the big guy, the little ones are my scouts

I thought I was the only one who got a blank page. TEASE!!!! ;)If you got a blank page then something must have gone wrong. They're complaining because I'm wearing a life vest while standing waist deep in murky water under a fountain...

I've actually seen this on some TV show and it wasn't Japanese business men. It was some sort of rather formal thing. The woman was lying naked on a table, and not flat on her back like a corpse, but posed, and she was covered with hors durves (SP)... It was pretty freaky. There were flowers all around her on the table and she was the serving tray.

If thats IS a thong, then yes, that'll do. :D adorable.

Haven't seen anything of the sort now that I'm old enough to attend such events though :(

You haven't.


I'm not a hottie-I'm a beast. Plus-I dont have the know how to post pics-I'm very primitive compared to you guys. That and all the digital pics are on my wife's computer and I'm clueless as to how to view them.

You have no clue what I look like. ;)

Well he said 'If that IS a thong', and I didn't see no thong anywhere.

Guess I'm invisible...

I'm thinking there is a thong. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I see-or want to see something there.
Anyway-I saw your pic on the pic thread-you are a hottie as well!

I seeee you.

lies, lies, and more lies. I'll just use this excuse too, with some alterations. I have few pics of me as it is, and they are not on my work notebook. That and I'm just not posting one until I'm outta here for good. It's more fun to be mean and hold out!

Show me yours first :D


I would consider it. But I would need some instructions.

I seeee you.

No one has asked what I look like. Oh well.... I don't have my sig for nothing! :D

Hey, I commented on your post... :)

Well he said 'If that IS a thong', and I didn't see no thong anywhere.

that's because i wasn't wearing a thong at the time..... i don't really like the things

Its not a lie. This is the first job I've had in ten years without a secretary that did everything for me.
I wouldnt lie-especially in here. Why the hell would I lie? Its like the only place you NEVER have to lie.

Plus-I dont want to frighten you.

Guess I missed it... I'm trying to multi-task. I can't find my puter glasses and everything is blurry... *rolls eyes* So excuse any heinous spelling because I can't really see that well....

We don't want to be pushy...we figure the naked pictures will be more forthcoming if we play it cool :D

Sorry-I must have been thinking thong too hard. Between that and your other pic, even mostly hidden, I'll still rate you high on the adorable scale.
Irish girls get extra points too...

I personally love that scout uniform, thanks for posting Laerod and you look nothing like how I pictured. I was thinking blonde. Anyway, that scout uniform makes me want to corrupt you! hee hee!

One Halloween AlphaGeek dressed up as a cowboy, and he looked shockingly good in a duster and hat. I was tempted to find a whip and some boots and...well, okay use your imagination! :D

Okay, okay, okay...you people have worn me down. Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/sinuhue/sinuhue.jpg) is a real picture of me. The baby is my second daughter, Emily. This was a few days after she was born. This is as good as you're going to get.

Even blacked out, you look way better than I did, after my little one was born! I was a wreck. :)

I had long, but easy labour both times. (14 hours on the dot, each time) I was up and walking around immediately after. Believe me, I know I'm lucky!!!

(and even if you were a wreck, which I doubt, you've bounced back with a vengence!)

That sucks, Sin. All that effort to do something that sucks?


Hey Muntoo-WB.

Oh no, I was BAD. I was 185 lbs when Ada was born! I got toxemic at the end and put on twenty extra pounds of water. Yikes! Those are good times for labors. My son was 17 1/2 hours (3.5 of pushing, ouch!) and Ada was only 5 1/2 hours with only 15 minutes of pushing! :eek:

I'm working hard at losing the weight, because I lost a ton of confidence when I was really huge. I'm still embarrassed to let AlphaGeek see me naked, and I feel way less sexier than usual. I was an athlete in high school and to be in this kind
of condition is deplorable. I think lingerie is going to be important for me to buy because it can make me feel sexy, but still cover up any spots I might be embarrassed about.

yes, it's so cute. where can i get one? maybe i can borrow yours, if that's alright with you....

I think lingerie is going to be important for me to buy because it can make me feel sexy, but still cover up any spots I might be embarrassed about.I know exactly what you mean. I'm fine with everthing else right now, I've really toned my legs and arms up (though that has always been easy for me), but it's my damn belly that's causing me grief. Yet I've managed to find midriff-baring lingerie that flatters my figure, even with the less-than-ripped-abs I'm carrying around. If I manage to get that belly right down, let me tell you, I'm going to be showing it off like crazy!

Anyway...I've got about five minutes before it's time to go home...I hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be seeing you all on Tuesday...keep the lingerie topic alive!!!!!

Hehehehee...I'm evil like that! TG by the way:)


No-thats not evil. Thats annoying.

Evil would be posting that fat guy in his underwear sitting at a computer.

Why didn't I bloody well think of that!!?? *fumes*

Na...this is a real pic. I just cut me out of it. At least you see the general shape (human) and hair colour (with henna in it at the time, actually), and my beautiful little bean, Emily. Sheesh...you just want it all, don't you Greedy Gus!!??

Hey CL! I put a new picture up, it's on page 5 of the player pic thread.


Just when I think the thread cant get any better... Thats a great pic, Muntoo-I like the WHOLE package. And its topped off with an extra pretty smile. :D

I quite like wearing sexy lingerie, but equally I feel sexy when I'm wearing girl boxers - and talk about comfort. Actually I was thinking I might go out and buy some guy boxers. For some reason I find they're especially comfy when I have my period. Strange but true.

I also like wearing my boyfriend's oversized clothes (I'm an English size 8, which is a US size 6, 5'11" and 32C, he's 6' and built like a rugby player - scrummy! *apologies for bad pun* :D). When I stayed the night at his at short notice and had no pyjamas - yes I wear PJs - he gave me one of his t-shirts to wear. It didn't stay on for long. I think he thought I looked cute in it because it swamped me.

He likes thongs - when his wandering hand moves from my lower back to my arse and doesn't encounter any panty material :P
And he does tend to get especially thrilled when I match :D

What I often do is buy plain underwear and customize it. A few bows take barely any time at all to stitch on but can transform underwear entirely.

As for male sexy underwear... I'm not sure such a thing exists. Unless a woman is wearing it :rolleyes:

(Apologies for the length of this post, it's late for me and I'm knackered because I spent all last night getting drunk on gin and apple schnapps whilst watching Starwars, so I'll have a tendency to ramble on).

Yep...I'm the consumer of the western world...why settle for less?


Have a great three day weekend!!

I have to agree...Muntoo...I know that everyone feels that they aren't quite up to snuff, but you are really beautiful, well proportioned, and have something that just makes you shine. Don't you dare go around thinking you're not good enough...you are definitely a hotty!

Good night folks!

I have to run now as well. The dinner bell just rang.

Be well all-have a great weekend! All the pretty pics were much appreciated. those not particpating in this thread have no idea what they're missing.

you're making me sorry I have to leave... :(

Okay, okay, okay...you people have worn me down. Here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/sinuhue/sinuhue.jpg) is a real picture of me. The baby is my second daughter, Emily. This was a few days after she was born. This is as good as you're going to get.

I hate you.

Thanks a bunch you guys! It's nice to get an objective opinion once in a while!
Y'all have a good weekend...I going to go finish getting ready for my yard sale tomorrow!

you're making me sorry I have to leave... :(

Why thank you, I am flattered that someone finds my inane ramblings interesting. I think I might go now too though, sleep is sounding like a good idea at this stage... :rolleyes:

LOL!!!!

You should post this in the players pics thread. I just put up my whole lineup.

In this pic you could be a poorly done alien from the first star trek series.

And is that a pearl necklace? :P Also - Cute kid! awwwwwwwwww :)

Hey...on the topic of your communism...

...a friend and I once floated the idea of having some good, working class porn for our lefty brothers and sisters...we'd call it "Red Hot Ass" and it would feature good little commies, anarchists, socialists and so on in provocative poses...you could do our 'Mao's little red book' layout if you don't want to bother with lingerie.... :DI love it!
I may be getting some pictures taken this fall... I'll have to remember to do some communist themed ones while I'm at it. I could do my part and convert guys to the cause; only commies can see...

Not on my computer... and don't ask me to go get it; it's raining and I'm afraid I'll get hit by lightning if I venture out from underneath what I have chosen for shelter. I have a picture of me in my BSA uniform (http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/8497/14444170jf.jpg), though. Aerou wanted to see it...

Edit: I'm the big guy, the little ones are my scouts

And what I want to see I get to see, ;). Thats always the way, :D

You may of course disregard my opinions because I've never had sex with anyone. Except myself.
:eek: Hahahahahahaha! Hilarious.

Damn storm! Why'd it have to rain down on me? I really missed something there... :(

I hate you.


Wasnt that frustrating?

Ha!! Good one!

Wow. This thread went eight pages while I was sleeping yesterday. Sheesh.

What's with the Bavarian bandana??? ;)

What's with the Bavarian bandana??? ;)Neckerchief. I was with the Munich troop at the time, since I lived there for a year. :D Troops have different neckerchiefs to tell themselves apart. They picked the Bavarian flag for obvious reasons. There's a patch on the back with the Münch'ner Kindl on it.

Yup, it was the hottest topic for a while.

I have some teaserish pictures of some lingerie I bought. I took pictures of them to send to my boyfriend in a letter, they're on my other computer though... maybe later :rolleyes:

Posting lingerie pictures of myself on the internet would be suicide. I'm sure, somehow, my co-workers would get a hold of them and god forbid my students.

Maybe not. I didn't want to edge anybody on... I'm not quite sure if that in fact wouldn't be against the rules in this forum...
I've got a number of pics of myself, but they definitely are private ;)

I freely admit to being way too much of a prude to allow photos of myself in anything that shows too much skin. I've already learned my lesson about sending pictures of myself via email, especially to a work computer.

its about time i said it: this thread needs more pictures... and i'm happy to oblige :)

that ought to get us started ;)

Nice set, though not really my style ;)

I've been looking for a demi-cup, or balconette bra today. Apparently, they don't come in my size. "No bra for you!", eh?
It's just depressing. This is what I meant when I said that the prettiest bras don't come in my size.

Isn't this (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=SP-3359&mci=&size=) the sexiest thing youve ever seen?

Or this (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=PAA-4045&mci=&size=) in Black? It's called the Latina Half Cup Bra

I love this tattoo demi cup underwire bra (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=AE-8014&mci=&size=), but it only comes in a 30A. WTF!?!

This (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=AE-5614&mci=&size=) would look incredible on a bustier chick. Do we get to wear things like this? No.

How about this (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=FEL-5894&mci=&size=)? In Pink, it looks sweet and sensual. In black it's soooo sexy.

These bras (http://www.figleaves.com/us/nsf/qwiseranswered.asp?page=1&searchhandle_rhs=DADBDADHDADADDDGGEDHDFGBGCDDGCGFCNDCDEDCGBCNDEGCDEGBCNDIDJGBGBCNDGDHDIGBDDGDDHGBGBD DDCGDDADADADBDEDADADADJEEGFGNGJCAGDHFHACADADADADEDADADADADADADADBDFDADADADBDADADADADADADADADADADADAD BDADADADADJEEGFGNGJCAGDHFHACADADADADBDB&sort_order_rhs=&sortorderrequested=&originalquery=Demi+cup+&match=&fid=&sort_order=1) are all hot. Not fair. :(

Wow... those are gorgeous...
It's really such a shame they don't come in all sizes. No fair.

How about this (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=FEL-5894&mci=&size=)? In Pink, it looks sweet and sensual. In black it's soooo sexy.
Awesome.

I love the combo of this (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=CNK-F2457E) with this (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=CNK-F2463E).

* - my favourite

Cross between a Southern Bell and a Cow Girl. 5'7" 120-150lbs shoulder length or maybe a little longer blonde or light brown hair, blue eyes. Jeans and T-shirt and mayble a little shy in person...

Close, although I'm not sure where the cowgirl part came from LOL. I'm actually closer to 5'10" and weigh a bit more than that. My hair isn't quite chin length, but I am growing it out. And it is light brown (with a few blonde highlights). I do have blue eyes and I wear jeans a lot. =)

I tend to be shy with people I have just met, but I warm up to people fairly quickly and stop being shy. =)

Curvy and blonde In a sexy corset!

Not blonde (and not in the corset right now - maybe tonight - I've been out of town for a week so I'm sure my guy won't mind =)

I haven't read up so I don't know if we've gotten answers. Dem, I picture to be a bit heavy, well-kept, similar in color to myself (skin, eyes, hair), 5'4ish, (with snakes for hair - yeah I read that one). I'd imagine she has soft features that allow her to get away with intense expressions. And I already know her age, though I suspect she looks younger than it.

LOL, everyone thinks I'm a good bit shorter than I actually am. I wonder what portrays that, unless it's just that most people tend to picture women between 5'3"ish and 5'7"ish. And you're the third to guess blonde. I'll have to post a pic sometime soon I guess.

Edit: So these are a little old - I think they're from 2001, but here goes:

I'm the only girl on the trip. It doesn't give you a good idea of how I normally dress, since this was a camping trip (and now you guys all know my name! Oh noes! hehe), but it gives you an idea of how I look. I've gained a little bit of weight since then, but it's coming off fast now.

Here are some very nice baby-doll sleepers ( http://www.lingerietemptations.com/index.php?cPath=8&page=2)...

Ooh, I really like the long fishnet one.

The thing is, guys are getting desensitized. It's been happening for decades. Did you know that in the 30s and 40s, particularly during World War II, a man could easily pop a boner just from seeing a woman's bare ankle? Come on, an ankle. Now we've been so desensitized by porn (don't deny it guys) and pop culture that it takes lingerie to get us going.

There is no way that the model wearing that is 30A :p

Have you ever noticed how the availability of sizes varies from country to country?

In Germany, I regularly was hard put to find a D cup, many times they didn't even go up to C. Here in Ireland, D is absolutely normal, most bras go up to DD, but you don't come across A cups that often...

I'm in the market for a bra again. I've got it narrowed down to these ones. What do y'all think?

Option A: Amelia underwire balcony bra (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=FRA-AA5221&mci=&size=)

Option B: Venus underwire balcony bra (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=PE-3411&mci=&size=)

Option C: Superbra Tango II underwire balcony bra (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=PE-3251&mci=&size=)

Option D: Amourette Decor bra (http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=TH-200R&mci=&size=)

Hmmm. I think D. Then B, then A, then C.

I think A would be best for everyday wear...I might bookmark that page and get that one when the baby is done nursing! The rest are gorgeous but I think I would buy them and only wear them on date night. That way the hubby has extra incentive to take me out. :D

None of them, really. D maybe, but only if it came in black. I have almost exclusively black lingerie, with one or two purple items... I don't care too much for most other colours.

Can I just say that garters (that is what the little strappy things for the stockings are, right?) are the biggest pain in the butt ever?

Seriously, maybe it's just because I've never worn them before, but it took me at least an hour to get the things hooked!

Very true! But after a while you get the hang of it, and it's much easier. You can practice with a pair of thigh highs so they'll stay up until you get used to the weird little buttonhooks. Then try with a pair of stockings.

These actually were thigh-highs, I think. I thought you could only use garters with thigh-highs. You certainly wouldn't need them with full panty hose - those stay up on their own.

They aren't that hard. After buying some with an ex and watching her put them on, i couldnt help at laughing at how much easier it was for me to do it for her, she got mad and asked how i was such an expert, I shrugged and said hockey. Hockey players wear a garter, in order to keep their socks on, that is unless they tape, but thats painful and the garter was jsut so much easier. *shrugs*

:cool: Well, I'll rather go for naked-underneath-t-shirt.

I just love the baby colors (baby blue, baby pink, baby green*, and baby purple).

* - my favourite
Those colours would go good with your complexion. They look like murder on me (not good). White and black look great on me, but most pastels are a no-no. Olives and khakis blend in too much. I like vibrant pinks and greens, but even though I love blue, for some reason it doesn't suit me. I hate padded bras, but so many lingerie stores carry them as the majority of their stock. And as for constantly finding something PERFECT, and having it not even come close to your size...I think big breasted women need to complain more. I mean, seriously. A D cup should not be considered 'big'. From lithe asian women to busty bavarian barmaids, we come in many shapes and sizes and damnit, so should our lingerie!

The thing is, guys are getting desensitized. It's been happening for decades. Did you know that in the 30s and 40s, particularly during World War II, a man could easily pop a boner just from seeing a woman's bare ankle? Come on, an ankle.

I worry this might be true. Which is why I dress rather formally. It always pissed off my radical friends, but I see it as a costume. I dress conservatively, but wear sexy lingerie underneath. Sometimes, the object of my affection gets to see a peek...like that commercial of the rather plain woman on the airplane who leans over to reveal a red lace bra...it's drawing on the madonna/whore dichotomy. You don't want to be a whore all the time...just when it's appropriate:)

Have you ever noticed how the availability of sizes varies from country to country?

Total stereotype here...but imagine the size of bras in China:).

I love chinese dresses, but I have to buy them in XXL. I feel like a big hippo with a tag saying that! Their small sizes would fit my three year old!

Mmmm....asian women....

Mmmm....asian women....Yup. Mmmm...asian women... :D

Mmmm....asian women....

Agreed.

Mmmm...Cree women, too.

Agreed.

Mmmm...Cree women, too.
Actually, aboriginals are often mistaken for asians because many of us have almond-shaped eyes, dark hair and skin. Especially when we travel in countries that don't have aboriginal populations:).

No sir, I don't speak Chinese.

I mistook you for an Asian woman when I saw your epicanthric eye folds and submissive demeanor...

I could watch you kowtow for my amusement all day

Well the Inuit (http://www.survival.es/media/catalogo/inuit_girl.jpg) in particular still look very asian.

Cree men are tall, and good runners. (so how did I get to be so damn short? Irish! I blame the Irish!) But my husband is part Mapuche (native from Chile) and they are about as wide as they are tall!

Hehe, don't blame the Irish, I'm part Irish and I'm 6ft3 :D

Shes my cherry pie...

So what about the earlier comment that men have been 'overexposed'? To me, the idea of lingerie is to hide...to hint...rather than to just out and out reveal it all. I think that teasing, making you want to know what's under there is more titillating than just baring it all. Thoughts? What purpose does lingerie serve, in your mind? It seems, from the responses on this thread, that most people like it...why does lingerie not figure more in adult movies I wonder? Hmmm...anyway...

:eek: And to think some people call you a sweetie...


STOP lookin' at my ass....

But lingerie isn't the only thing you can use to do that. I remember the time when my girlfriend had her hands tied on her back and still had a t-shirt on... that was one of our best. I'm a bit disappointed she didn't wear skirts for personal reasons... it would have been nice to have sex with her having only one of those on :D

While I am more comfortable in pants, skirts and dresses do have the wonderful advantage of easy access...and instead of having to unbutton or unzip to quickly flash your man and get his blood boiling, you can just hike your skirt up ever so discreetly....

I think many men can be pleased in a broad spectrum of ways. If I get home from work and you're stark naked and presenting right inside the front door, I ready and willing and able and pleased, no matter what type of day I had.
And to me it would be perfectly clear what you wanted-immediately.

If you're wearing something very provacative beneath your clothing, wether you intend to or not, you will act differently. I assume you would feel confident and sexy, more or less promiscuous and you would give off that vibe...once this was discovered-the lacey bra shot, a glimpse of a garter, the narrowing/uplift of a corset I'd be ready, willing and also quite pleased that you were feeling sexy.

Speaking for myself, wether its subtle patient seduction or beating me over the head obvious-I'm happy and very likely to make you happy too.

But then again, you could be all harried and mopping the floor with something burning in the oven and I'd still be interested.

Didnt we once say I thought of little else?

While I am more comfortable in pants, skirts and dresses do have the wonderful advantage of easy access...and instead of having to unbutton or unzip to quickly flash your man and get his blood boiling, you can just hike your skirt up ever so discreetly....And that's exactly why I'm so disappointed...:( And with pants being more comfy, no problem. That would keep the skirt thing special and interesting...:D

If I get home from work and you're stark naked and presenting right inside the front door, I like the imagery that comes along with the word, 'presenting':).

Wow. No doubt...this one always had me confused, but I guess context is not always necessary...I'm used to being groped while washing the dishes and I no longer worry that dirty dishes might be a fetish :eek:

Its not the dishes, its that we can come up behind you and have our way with you. Its almost as if your hands are bound if they are in dish water-you dont put them on us right away, you try to rinse and get a towel...

My wife is often frightened, complaining I stalk her-I'm not there one second, the next I'm right there. I dont sneak-I just tend to be very quiet. Plus I dont use any lights when walking around the house. Anyhow, this usually ends up in some mutual pawing-She is jolted first, but the thrill turns her on. She is usually pretty good after a day at Great Adventure on the rollercoasters or bungee jumping...

Some times simply by virtue of being a woman, we see the "sexy" beneath whatever the present conditions may be.

However, she was never in the mood for that when she really was doing homework :(

Its almost as if your hands are bound if they are in dish water-you dont put them on us right away, you try to rinse and get a towel...Hmmm...that reminds me...one fantasy that many women have is of being forced...though in real life, none of us would actually want something like that to happen to us. Most fantasies are easy to recreate...but that one is very difficult, considering that one is generally very comfortable and trusting of their partner. That kind of rough, 'stranger' play is hard to believe in, no matter how much you invest in restraints and so on:(. It highlights, for me, the absolute importance of the mental sphere of sexuality, but it can also be frustrating. I sometimes wish it was more about physical reactions, like it seems to be for men (not discounting the importance of mental stimulation in men, just saying I think it's not quite as important?).

Some times simply by virtue of being a woman, we see the "sexy" beneath whatever the present conditions may be.
What do you think is more important to 'keeping a man faithful'? Self-confidence and sexual gratification (for both), or hot looks? I suspect that many men who stray later on in life (you know, the midlife crisis syndrome:)) do so more because the sex has become terrible than any other reason. Seems to me, if both people could keep the sex good, there would be less straying going on? Am I out to lunch?

Thats a tough one, Sinuhue. I have never had "terrible sex" that I can recall, but I have experienced getting a little bored. Once you recognize that, it might be time to shake things up a little, try something diffeerent-either way, investing a little effort- time, research, money-whatever- should help if both partners care. I think when guys stray, they may be looking for an entirely new venue. Of course its enticing.
On the other hand, when something in the course of my travels stimulates my in some way- flirting with a stranger somewhere-or a good example- going to some strip clubs in Myrtle Beach with a bunch of friends after a day of golfing- my wife is the beneficiary of the pounding buildup of my desire.

You mean you've cheated? Do share....!Um... the quarter life crisis had to do with the fact that I was still virgin at twenty... so I didn't really cheat...then... sent me spiraling into a depression that did...

The cheating story has to do with my last girlfriend. She's spent a year in Canada, so she's rather fluent in English (She's German). At the time we met, she was still together with her Canadian fiancé and I was still together with my girlfriend, though things were going downhill. We were best friends that somehow turned out to be more when we were wrestling in her bed...

What's sparking this little line of questioning is, I spent the weekend watching the first three Soprano seasons *hehehehe* and I really got into the dynamic between Tony and his wife...I was just yelling at the tv the whole time about what I figured was wrong with their marriage:). But it got me thinking about couples I know who are clearly unhappy, and I think a lot of it has to do with the old style conceptions of what is 'proper' within a marriage, compared to what is permissible with others (usually the man's prerogative, not the woman's). The idea that some things are not done with the mother of your children, for one, no matter how much you'd like to...it seems to me, that there are really two kinds of people. Those who are open about sex, and those who are not...and the ones who are seem to fare much better in their relationships. I mean...how can you be open and honest with someone, but leave that part of it out? Why are people so embarrassed, or ashamed? *hums the tune to 'sexual healing'*

And I've had terrible, thinking about the housework, can't wait 'till it's over sex. I'd prefer to never go through that again. I can't imagine why people would stand for it as an inevitable part of life :(

Um... the quarter life crisis had to do with the fact that I was still virgin at twenty...
Twenty? Yikes! My head would've exploded! It was bad enough waiting until I was 16...not entirely my choice, by the way! And not getting anything regular until 18 was agony. But I think I was an 'early bloomer' (code word for young and horney).

Cool-I love the Sopranos. Woulda thought you to be the last one interested in that story. That takes place near my neck of the woods and one of my friends calls me "T". My family could make up a good part of the cast.
I dont have that house yet.

What, are you kidding? I have the same silly facination with gangsters as anyone else...I wish the hispanic one would've continued, (Kingpin). I would never, ever actually want to be involved with people like that (been there, done that), but it's good entertainment, for sure! My hubby's from a pretty rough background...and then he went and learned his English from the Godfather:) Yikes!!!

I can't imagine why people would stand for it as an inevitable part of life :(There's a series of articles in a German magazine about how love and sex are in different countries about the world. I've read through the Japanese one so far, and it's just messed up...
Marriage seems to be generally viewed as a business contract. Men tend to go out somewhere else for fun, being to afraid of failing to meet their wives' desires. I was shocked to read that they actually have brothels which only contain high quality sex dolls (available at prices you'd pay for real women). And they even have a name for 30 yr. old virgins that watch cartoon porn all day... :eek:

Yeah...one of my brothers is fascinated with Japan, and has told me stuff like this...that you can buy girl's underwear in vending machines, and so on. That there is a lot of repressed sexuality in that country (and yet, few instances of rape...interesting, is it not? They work it out in other ways...just not in marriage). They are the extreme version of what I'm talking about...clean, 'nice' sex with the wife, and the good stuff with people you don't commit to (or objects). I think that exposing your sexual desires is probably the last barrier...the ultimate intimacy, the actual physical intimacy aside. You have to have a high level of trust with someone to do that...I mean...if you like your woman to spank you and call you names, you want to be damn sure she's not spreading stories about you later, right? So why doesn't this sort of sharing happen more in marriages? I don't get it. Cultural repression:(

I grew up in Brooklyn in the stereotypical ethnic Italian neighborhood. There is something about that I miss. It was the good old days and Brooklyn has changed.

Before I had a gallbladder that was in terrible condition removed, one doctor suggested the several intense chest pain attacks I was having each week as being "panic attacks".

What the hellllll?! This topic is cruising into 1300-post land!
I trust you'll be making a sequel, yes? This has been too-interesting reading to abandon!

When do they close the threads down? The Paradise beach one is double this....

Its not the dishes, its that we can come up behind you and have our way with you.

Yeah, I get that with my boyfriend. His eyes light up when he comes to my house and I say, "Let's bake!" - this means I whip up something scrummy like cookies while he stands behind me kissing my neck, begging to be given a beater or something to lick (:rolleyes:) and generally molesting me.
Then when it's time for whatever-it-is to go in the oven, I make a show of insisting on doing the washing up. This usually ends up with us doing the wet-towel whipping thing and flicking washing up foam all over each other :D The cookies/brownies/yumminess comes out of the oven and "they need time to cool down", so we can get naughty then afterwards freshly baked goods!

As for being embarrassed/ashamed about sex, I think it's ridiculous. I've said far worse things to my boyfriend than "up a bit...". Such as when I used to self-harm and talked to him about that. When I first told him I thought he'd think I was too crazy or too much work or something and break up with me. Then every time after that I had to tell him even though I knew he hated talking about it. The reason I never wanted to talk about it was because I didn't want to make him sad.

Whereas with sex, it's all about making each other happy :D

I think part of being able to talk about sex openly with partners is being able to talk about it openly with friends (or random people on internet forums...). It doesn't help in sex ed when they go, "Okay, this is the man's penis and this is the woman's vagina..." (seriously, we had a biology teacher who did exactly that). Also the very fact of sex ed - I agree that people should be taught these things but why do they never mention the clitoris? And what's the underlying message, when parents are effectively paying someone else to tell their kiddies about the facts of life?

When do they close the threads down? The Paradise beach one is double this....Does it have a similarly exciting topic? I didn't check...

People are still so ashamed about sex. Kids don't learn about relationships, and about pleasure, they learn about diseases and abstinence. I can be very open about sex with some of my friends, but with others, I know they are uncomfortable with the topic. My husband likes to talk about sex with me, but he doesn't want to talk about sex with me and my friends, or his friends. So I don't do it when he's around:). Truth is though, I still clam up from time to time, but seriously, having kids really immunised me to all 'shame'. Being naked, in that sort of condition in front of complete strangers cured me of any lingering self-consciousness!

I've found that the best conversations on the topic of sex and sexuality happen in mixed company. Males and females, hets and homos, whatever. Because then you get to exchange really useful and interesting information. With just women, it tends to get sidetracked onto pure relationship issues...and I'm not sure, but most guys say they don't get all that detailed about sex when it's just guys chatting...things really seem to come pouring out when women and men are honest about it.

I want everyone to be okay with it, but there are so many cultural hangups preventing that. *sad*

It's more roleplaying from what I've seen.

Hm... I spose I like the anonymity of the internet. Other than that, I usually only talk about these topics in a conversation with only two people.

I want everyone to be okay with it, but there are so many cultural hangups preventing that. *sad*Meh, the Church is pretty much to blame for that. European culture was much more open about nudity before Christianity took root.

I reckon the best we can do is start on the next generation (what's the point of having children if you can't mould them into what you never were? >:-) ;))

None of this "the stork brings babies" crap. I think embarrassment on this sort of topic is like shyness. I used to be DEAD shy when I was young; I mostly grew out of it but somertimes I find myself clamming up. But then I think, "hold on, none of these people knows that I'm shy/that I'm crapping myself at the prospect of speaking in front of all of them" (yes, I had to make a speech in front of about 200 people with only about 15 mins preparation - that helped, actually, because I made them laugh and they had no idea I was cacking myself). If you remember that often people can't tell that you're feeling afraid/shy/embarrassed, you realise that it's all in your head and that there's no need for any of it. And if you say something to break the ice a bit, that helps others open up too and discard those feelings.

(Phew, started off on educating my children, finished on my cure for shyness... you can tell it's getting late for me :rolleyes: )

You Italian-Americans. Sheesh!


Yeah- my "primary care physician", who is hot, by the way, says to me it myight be panic attacks. And writes up two presecriptions. I said "panic attacks?"- she said "Yes-you know, like on the Sopranos?" I wanted to smack her, but was overcome at how wonderful the Sopranos were for doing their part to raise public awareness on the subjuect of dealing with anxiety.
And-oh yeah- the subject of burying people in my old home town or dumping them in the lake near where I used to live.
James Gandolfini goes to my church. I see him there at least once a month. I always joke with my wife I'm gonna yell "Hey-T!!"

Meh, the Church is pretty much to blame for that. European culture was much more open about nudity before Christianity took root.
It's more than just nudity though...but I agree that religion has done a fantastic job of attaching guilt to pleasure. It's clearly more than religion...or any one religion. There is some sort of cultural need you can see in countries all over the world, to make sex 'bad'. In some cases, it's meant to keep 'women in their place'...but don't the men realise that they lose out too, when women are made to think that sex is dirty? Sheesh!

Well, I agree very much. I'm actually very shy, but people don't believe it:). I have to force myself to be open, and it's hard...but absolutely worth it.

As for teaching kids...yup. I was worried for a while because my hubby comes from a very traditional culture that tends to smother...I mean 'protect' its women and having girls, I thought we'd be fighting about things like this...but he is totally open to his girls having sexual freedom. He wants them informed, and confident, and above all...he wants them to enjoy themselves. Far cry from the image I had of a father on the porch with a shotgun!

And there's such a stigma attached that even when people are trying to be open about it they still use all these stupid phrases instead of just coming out and saying "having sex". I was perusing the Cosmo website's sex section and the number of times the sex counsellor said "doing the deed" or "sack session"... it just made me cringe. At the end of each bit of advice it would always come back to something along the lines of "remember - being open and honest with your partner and enthusiastic are the most important things". While I agree with this, how can you possibly take someone seriously who is telling YOU to be open and honest whilst using ridiculous euphemisms for sex? Surely being open and honest includes the vocabulary for it too? :p

Actually, yeah...that show has done a lot for highlighting the problem with the traditional 'male' stereotypes (and female ones). It shows how the negative gender roles can go too far, and why they are harmful. And I agree that it's shown the need for men to have a way to open up about their stresses. Women are more socialised to do that, but the traditional men especially have to learn how to do it. I think it also shows people the stigma men face when they do try to deal with harmful gender roles (a major reason a lot of guys just go with the flow rather than try to buck the system). Wow...the Sopranos as a learning experience???

James Gandolfini goes to my church. I see him there at least once a month. I always joke with my wife I'm gonna yell "Hey-T!!" He must get that a lot. Poor guy:). He should come to Canada. We ignore our celebrities!

But the character he plays...is a perfect example...his wife is the 'mother of his children', but he gets his thrills from girlfriends...and neither scenario satisfies him. I don't think people really want to go running around behind the backs of their partner. And yet...it takes two to tango...I can't imagine a woman like Tony's wife being ameniable to sexual frolicking or experimentation!

Well, I agree very much. I'm actually very shy, but people don't believe it:). I have to force myself to be open, and it's hard...but absolutely worth it.



Me too...I'm really shy.
