Do people actually wear lingerie?

[LostInAnomie]

Seriously, I've never had a girlfriend that had any, and I'm glad. It seems like a huge waste of time to me. Do people really need sexy underwear that they're going to take off anyway?

[vadawg]

1. yup, i see a lot of what you would call lingerie coming through my doors

probuably a good percentage of the females and a couple of males who were drunk tonight would have been wearing some form of it... :)

[ZombieHorde]

2. Yes, some people do wear lingerie, and no, wearing lingerie is not a waste of time. nt

[Quantess]

3. Lingerie does seem like mis-spent energy to me.

It's better to put that time and energy toward shaving.

[Dave Reynolds]

4. Well,

I've never worn any, just because it never fits right.:-)

[proteus_lives]

5. Mating displays never go out of style.

I've seen my share.

"It seems like a huge waste of time to me. Do people really need sexy underwear that they're going to take off anyway?"

Depends on your taste I suppose. Some people like it for themselves, some use it as foreplay or as a fetish thing.

[Crabby Appleton]

6. If your lucky they do. nt

[taterguy]

7. I'm wearing some right now

D'oh!

One of these days I've to learn to stop posting while intoxicated.

[LeftyMom]

8. Because it sends a slightly subtler "hey, let's go at it" message than tackling a guy

and undoing his zipper with your teeth.

Though that approach also has it's charms. :shrug: It's good to mix it up a little.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

9. Not for long

but if you are in a long term relationship and the sizzle turns into a fizzle, it helps to liven things up a bit.

[UndertheOcean]

10. A sign of sexism in this society is that there is no lingerie for men....

or I might just be a whackoo hippie for even suggesting that.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

14. You oughta see what they have over here for men

Thongs ain't the half of it.

[Chan790]

61. um...

pick up any lingerie catalogue not printed by Victoria's Secret...Fredericks or Venus, for example. There's men's lingerie and I would not be caught dead in any of it...it's hokey and offensive to men. I don't want a plushy fox-head thong where my Johnson goes in a nose-sleeve, thank you. I'll pass on the frilly boxer shorts too, man.

Where is my manly lingerie? I want pleather and steel accoutrement and tartan patterns. Manly shit. Stuff with "Jackhammer" macraméd across the arse. Manly materials like corduroy, tweed, denim, and burlap (okay, maybe we'll pass on the burlap.)

[Sky Masterson]

11. Lingerie is like the wrapping on a gift

It makes the delicate prize beneath more exciting.
Specially nightgowns that can be lifted up for,well..You know. :evilgrin:

[datasuspect]

12. that sounds crrreeeppy

ewwww

[Sky Masterson]

13. You have an odd definition of whats creepy.

:D

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

15. Whaddya expect

He's been in county lock up for the last few months. Hasn't seen a woman in a while. He'll be back in the saddle in no time.

[Sky Masterson]

17. I imagine the guys in county

don't look as palatable as the lady above.:crazy:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

33. Maybe after a few months ...

... when it comes to judicial sentencing, size does matter.

:hi:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

37. Data has no problems in THAT department

do you schmoopie?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

39. As they say, "Big Feet, Long ..."

" prison sentence".

what did you think?

:shrug:

Anyway, thanks for the youtube link. Went mesmerized for a couple of minutes.

:hi:

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

40. I heard it was big nose

big long time sentence.

glad you liked the link. One of my all time favorite songs on the planet. :hi:

[Juche]

43. LOL

Know whats creepy? That woman in the movie misery who refused to swear. Emotional repression is a bigger red flag than a sex drive.

[Jade Fox]

53. agree nt

[Odin2005]

50. That is a fucking creepy post.

I do not consider the woman I am making love to a "gift", YUCK!

[Sky Masterson]

54. What the fuck ever..

:eyes:

[Beer Snob-50]

16. i consider it a gift wrapped in really pretty paper

that i tear off to find a beautiful present.

[Captain Hilts]

21. Well, that's right. Guys buy it as a gift for themselves. Ugh!

[Beer Snob-50]

24. i have known women who buy it for themselves also

[Maine-ah]

18. meh, I used to, but decided it was a waste of money....

I never wore it longer than 5 minutes.....:shrug:

[Orsino]

19. "Nae, lassie--it's as good as everr!"

I guess it would actually last a long time.

[Captain Hilts]

20. I don't know any women that wear it either. I think guys buy it as gifts. nt

[av8rdave]

22. Yes

[phasma ex machina]

23. Yes, some women wear lingerie that I didn't buy them. nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. You're supposed to *wear* it?

Boy, does that explain a lot of awkward evenings and time in the emergency room.

[guitar man]

26. my wife does

and she really likes the results :P

[mulsh]

27. I had two girlfriends who were alergic to synthetic fabrics and cotton.

both of them wore silk lingerie. Nice stuff but not particularly sexy. They had a hard time finding clothes they could wear with out a bad and itchy reaction. Obviously neither of them were wearing sexy lingerie for me. They both complained about how expensive silk stuff i.

My wife has a collection of very sexy flannel pajamas, she agrees with your views. For me there's nothing more sexy than a warm and comfortable woman.

[Captain Hilts]

28. Chuchill always wore silk underwear because of sensitive skin. His wife said his undies were nicer

than hers.

[TommyO]

29. I tried it once, it didn't end well

[Tuesday Afternoon]

30. I feel pretty. In the strictest definition of the term, most women

wear it, as bras and panties and such are considered to be lingerie ...

[Hell Hath No Fury]

31. Have never bought true lingerie for myself --

only had it given to me as a "gift" by boyfriends. I find it itchy, uncomfortable, and never feel "sexy" when wearing it. :shrug:

[Captain Hilts]

34. Exactly.

It's not really a gift for you, either.

But you know that.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

35. It took me awhile --

but I finally got it. :D The last lingerie I got was for my 31st birthday. When I opened the box I was underwhelmed but tried to convince my boyfriend I really really liked it (I wasn't nearly as liberated as I thought back then). For weeks afterwards I felt this strange undercurrent of hostility that I could not put my finger on. It was literally a few years before I figured out why I had been so irritated with the gift -- it wasn't for me, it was for him! :D

My sister's ex-hubber gave her a crockpot for her birthday -- in front of us both he actually said something about hoping it would inspire her to make more wonderful soups for him. I immediataly fired back, "So, it really wasn't a gift for her, it was for you!"

[jmm]

38. Crock pot?! I can see why he is her EX-husband.

I'm not a big fan of being fully dressed at home and can be pretty picky about the fit and feel of clothes so there are certain types of lingerie I like but it's definitely a proceed with caution type of gift.

[redqueen]

32. Yes.

And no, no one *needs* it, but some people like it.

And FWIW I used to buy it for myself.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

57. Helllooooo Gooner

:P

[kwassa]

36. my ex used to manufacture it

she was really in the swimwear business, did a little lingerie on the side. Our second bedroom was full with a cutting table and several industrial sewing machines.

She was her own fitting model, and I helped her with it, as I have a design background. The female body is a very complicated thing to fit.

No lingerie is wasted. All lingerie is wonderful.

[MissMillie]

41. I'm told it looks best

in a pile on the floor

[AsahinaKimi]

42. I likes it..

But then I am a girl..

[old mark]

44. I don't even wear underwear. nt

[Forkboy]

45. Thankfully, yes.

[PVnRT]

46. This is a very serious question

I'm going to need to see plenty of photographic evidence so that I can make an informed, rational decision on the issue.

[guitar man]

47. yeah and you know what's even better

The selection of sexy lingerie for plus size women is growing every day...I likes me some full figured gals in sexy nighties :evilgrin:

[dr.strangelove]

48. Yes

My wife wear lingerie most nights. She enjoys wearing it. she buys it far more often than I buy it for her. To me, what you wear is entirely up to a person. I prefer jeans on weekends and sweatpants at night. This makes me happy, so I don't really consider a pair of Levis or sweats a waste of time or money. My wife seems to like the way satin/silk/lace feels and the way the lingerie she buys makes her look and feel. In my mind, there are so few things in our lives that we have control over, clothing choice is one of them. Do what makes you happy. If sexy underwear makes you feel good, go for it. In my mind, not a waste of time at all.

[Odin2005]

49. I do not find lingerie sexy.

It screams "fake" and "inauthentic". I prefer teasing a lady while I slowly take her clothes off. :evilgrin:

[valerief]

51. When I think of lingerie, I think of a 1960 romantic comedy. You know, when

a woman wore a chiffon nightgown and puffy chiffon robe and maribou mules and a velvet bow in her hair.

Is that lingerie?

[pitohui]

56. um, lingerie is just french for underwear

pretty sure the OP is fibbing when he/she claims to have never had a partner who wore lingerie

[valerief]

60. Years ago lingerie (in the US) had a different connotation. There was

underwear and there was lingerie. This was pre-Victoria Secret.

[Texasgal]

52. I wear scrubs all day

but underneath I love to wear lacey, girlie stuff. It makes me feel good... and it's no one else's business but my own! :)

[pitohui]

55. there are more flavors of ice cream than just vanilla, my friend

meat and potatoes just the facts ma'am sex sounds like a bore and a waste of time to me...maybe they don't "need" sexy, but life is just better with "sexy"

a person who can wear many costumes and be many people or a person who can't be arsed...not much of a choice there, i'll take the person who has a wardrobe and the creativity to use it every time

can't imagine having more than one date with someone who thinks it's a huge waste of time to invest time and effort in teasing before they please...

it ain't a business transaction, it's supposed to be playtime

[Iggo]

58. I only had one girlfriend who wore it regularly.

It made her feel sexy, and so she was.

But the rest of 'em looked just as good in panties and a teeshirt.

Mmm...mmm-hmmm...okay.

Um...what was the question?

[Xipe Totec]

59. I don't. n/t
