The Lost Art Of Lingerie

by Eathan

Last night I was watching a movie and it made me realize that the art of lingerie has been lost.  At one time lingerie was that something extra that caught every man’s attention in the bedroom.  It was more than the matching bra and panties.  It was the attitude of seduction that lingerie gave a woman.  And as I think back over the last couple years, I believe the art is lost.

Why do I call it a art?  Since every woman has a different physical appearance, they need to accentuate their best body parts.  And I believe it is a art for a woman to know what body part(s) they show off.  Choosing the right lingerie is as important as choosing matching shoes.  Designers are quite creative on how their styles and designs.  Maybe women are just shifting towards a matching bra & thong.  I don’t know.  But I miss the days of Lingerie.  I miss the visual effect that lingerie does for a woman’s body.

So I spoke with several female friends, I got similar responses.  Do they own lingerie?  Yes.  Do they wear it often?  No.  One thing they all mention is that most women get too busy and distracted to think about it.  It’s easier to wear a sexy bra, boy shorts, or thongs.  Really?  With places like Victoria’s Secret, Fredrick’s of Hollywood and Trashy, it seems that lingerie would be easy to remember.  But I could be wrong.

But I was quickly reminded by someone that lingerie is for someone special.  And just they own it doesn’t meant they are going to wear it often.  I was also reminded that women don’t like to recycle lingerie.  Meaning that if a item was worn for someone else in mind, they are opposed to rocking the same lingerie for a new guy.  I stopped to think about that.  I’m not buying that idea.  It seems like a cop-out.  Since the creation of Tide, I could care less who saw her in that lingerie.  I’m happy to be the one who is looking at her in lingerie right now.

Well it seems stupid to expect a booty call or a random hook-up to wear lingerie.  Unless she’s a Victoria Secret model, which in that case, I wouldn’t care what she has on.  So now I’m wondering it the sexy and hot lingerie is only reserved for women in relationships?  Or maybe women are waisting all their good lingerie trying to get into the VIP section of the clubs.

    I used the same black bustier with two different guys. Both seemed annoyed and intimidated with the hooks and eyes. Of course, neither one could open my bras without a guidebook so I should have had a clue.
  • I admit that easy access is important. Would you tell either guy that you recycled the bustier?

    It really never came up. When guys are about to have sex all they are thinking is "Wow! I am about to have sex!" (At least it seems that way to me.)
    If someone asked I would be honest--but it would creep me out that they thought to ask. If you are focusing on the thought of me with another man instead of me with you...creepy!

    As for easy access...heck I think it would have been just as sexy to keep it on, or work on it in stages. :)

    Single women usually don't wear lingerie. I don't buy it unless he is worth the effort or unless it's an irresistible piece. Also, it's expensive and can get uncomfortable, depending on quality and how long you have it on (you could argue that lingerie is for him and not her, but again: he has to be worth the effort.)

    And I agree with no recycling. Since it's for special times, she's going to remember that with a new guy. It may not ruin the good time but it's an unnecessary distraction.
  • Does that mean you only buy it when you're in a relationship?
  • Nellie
    That is correct.
