Thank
you, Mme. Cudelle....
It all begain in 1889. Up to that time, corsettes
were the only primary ungergarment worn by the female of the species.
Usually, the intent of these tightly constricted piecesof clothing were
intended to play down her attributes. The common artistic rendering
of women previous to this time (not counting the classic nudes of artistic
history), is that of the flat-chested female clothed in her colorful clothing
depending on whatever era in which she lived. |

Then, it happened.
Mme.Cudelle of France cut out the midriff of her
corset
to allow more movement from the waist.
Behold, the brassiere!
The rest is history. |

Thanks to the male appreciation for the female breasts, women
have ever since discovered one way after another to display their charms
in such a way that no man could possibly ignore them (both of them).
Since then, lingerie
has become a multi-million dollar industry and couples everywhere have
enjoyed the unique sensuality that this type of garment suggests when worn
by a female who enjoys seducing
her man.
Other than the most straight-laced of ultra-conservative
men, there is not a man on the planet who doesn't have a very special appreciation
for sexy, lacy, curvy, sensuous female lingerie.
As for me, the one thing I like best about sexy
lingerie is it's brevity. Do I really need to explain that comment?

Those Who Enjoy
Sexy Lingerie...
What
man doesn't thoroughly enjoy getting home from work and finding his lover
waiting for him dressed in a set of sexy lingerie?
What women doesn't enjoy the wonderful feeling of looking sensuous when
wearing a few lacy items that only accentuate her natural curves and make
her all the more alluring? What couple doesn't get turned on to each
other when she is dressed in
lace and he is likewise decked out in a satin set of briefs and a matching
robe?
Besides the department store and
catalog resources, most cities have at least one shop that caters to a
clientele which appreciates the more risque'
types of lingerie. In recent years, these establishments have become
sophisticated enough for both men and women to shop in openly. Seeing
couples purusing the various items on display has become common place.
If you are not satisfied with the Victoria's Secret kind of intimate wear,
perhaps a trip to such a shop in your area would result in some purchases
more to your liking. However, those who live in more rural or remote
areas can still find some extremely nice items via catalogs or by using
Internet
resources.
Enjoying intimacy
following the slow disrobing of a beautiful set of lingerie can enhance
a sexual encounter in many wonderful ways. Treating a man to a visual
display of physical femininity is sure to solicit a loving response.
Couples who share this kind of prelude
to intimacy, whether it is often or occassional, will find themselves reminded
that those who work at love are sure to enjoy it all the more. |

A Short History
of Lingerie....
1907: American Vogue illustrated a rigid, boned brassiere
with no division between the breasts. Believe it or not, it was actually
worn over the corset.
1913: Mary Phelps devised the first modern bra
with two lacy hankerchiefs and some help from her maid. The following year
she sold the patent to a Mr Warner whom she had met at a garden party.
That discussion would have been interesting.
1918: Corset-makers were running up bras designed to flatten
rather than enhance. This did not last too long. You see, they
were ignoring the fact that curves are much more alluring than flatness.
1925: Bras first had divisions between the breasts and adjustable
straps. Thus, the first bra was introduced.
1938: Finally acknowledging that breasts did not come in standard
sizes, bra-makers introduced A,B, C and D cups. Men everywhere rejoiced.
1940: Padding was first sneaked into bra cups. It was
a deceptive and manipulative move. To this day, not one male has
complained.
1950s: Strapless bras appeared and women were now able to wear
an off-the-shoulder dress and still use a bra.
1959: Warners and Du Pont produced Lycra which we have continued
to use ever since then. As a result, the many varied fashions and
designs of lingerie have continued to expand.
1965: The no-bra bra was introduced to give support with a nothing-under
effect. Half-hearted women’s libbers rejoiced. Males unconsciously
decided to let women's libbers enjoy themselves while they continued to
enjoy women who looked good in a nice set of sexy lingerie.
1973: The first no-bounce sports bra was introduced. Males
ignored this change. So what!
1980s: Frederick's of Hollywood and Victoria's Secrets become
national icons. Men find themselves ordering lingerie from catelogs
and going into mall stores to purchase female lingerie with total abandon.
1990s: The Internet is filled with sites that feature lingerie
catalogs and user friendly steps to order some of the most risque'
lingerie available anywhere.
2000: For those who plunge in and decide to enjoy this form
of sexuality, it just keeps getting better and better and better.

Some Fun Facts
Concerning Lingerie...
Breast sizes across Europe are growing. The average size
has gone from a 34B to a 36C over the past 10 years.
Twenty years ago a DD cup was unusual. Now G cups
are not uncommon. Changing diets and the pill are the culprits.
Bra-wearers are getting younger. Twenty years ago,
12 and 13 year olds bought teen bras. Now eight and nine year olds
are taking the plunge.
In 1971 skin tones were bestsellers and were second favourites
until about 5 years ago.
Today the biggest selling color is black, while white
and red come in a close second. Tea rose was a hot favorite from the twenties
right through to the fifties. |
