Who Buys Sexy Lingerie?

My wife buys it all the time. She buys her every day stuff from places like VS and her teddies, corsets etc from places like wicked temptations. I gave up buying it for her because she doesn't wear what I buy so there's no point in spending even more cash on it. Does she wear it as much as I'd like her to? Obviously not, but I'm not complaining that the drawers full of options aren't available either.

 

Guilty, as well; though she preferred a Marmot mid-weight.

 

I have found that only certain women can pull off extravagant lingerie (corsets, merry widows, gartered stockings, etc). Most are actually best served by other kinds of sexy looks; though sexy underwear (silk or lace bras) almost always is a winner.

 

I have a box of things tucked way high up in my closet. But most of it is garter belts and stockings. I'm really not a fan of either lacy bras or underwear or anything else of the boudoir variety. Solid color hipsters in a cotton or cotton blend that is really stretchy, that's all I have in regular rotation. All through growing up Mom preached to my sister and me about only wearing cotton underwear. And she was right. The jay-jay's gotta breathe so its flora stays happy and in balance. Namaste.

 

Many years ago I bought my wife some lingerie. Turns out she prefers flowers and diamonds.

 

I wearing some right now.

 

This is my wife's point of view. Not that I am wearing the lingerie but that her wearing lingerie is really a gift for me. So, if I want to buy her presents, I should buy her presents.

 

I wouldn't mind if my old lady bought some- but that would normally result in sexual arousal, and she ain't havin' none of that. The more she covers up at night, the better off she feels.

Eventually it might come to this:

 

Issue #1
"Why don't you wear what I bought you?"
That is one issue that comes up occasionally, the items don't fit when I don't make the purchases myself. I honestly would prefer a gift card accompanied with photos of an assortment of his personal preferences so I can order accordingly.

Issue #2
"You have all of these sexy things in your drawers and I never see them?"
Well that happens when you are in just too much of a hurry to take actually look. In my experience most guys need to be tied to a chair and forced to actually see them anyway. Lingerie finds its way to the floor far too soon to be noticed.

I still buy them. Some items are still comfortable enough to toss on and lounge around a bit. I know my SO does enjoy them in theory, he is generally too excited to pay much attention.

 

I used to have all kinds of things when I was younger...corsets, garters, and lacy, frilly, see-through things. I seem to date very practical, no-nonsense-please men, though, and every one in recent memory would tell me it looked pretty, but there was no point in spending so much on something I'd wear for about ten seconds. I tossed most of my fancy lingerie when I realized I was just as alluring (and much more comfortable) in a good bra and boy shorts.

 

I'm pretty sure you just jumped me in the freak rankings. Rawr indeed!

 

This thread seriously needs to have an offshoot in Exhibition.

Lingerie can sometimes be superfluous, but certainly not always. It really depends on what the plan is. If it's just sexy time at home, it's probably not worth the effort. But if there's a night out or something interesting going on - in other words, more than just sex - then I think that lingerie has a place. Further to Lindy 's point, sometimes just knowing it's there underneath is enough, just like knowing that there's nothing underneath accomplishes the same thing.

That said, the women that I've known (in the Biblical sense) that own and wear lingerie tended to do it as much for themselves as me. I enjoy a good corset quite a bit, but I know enough not to pout if someone doesn't want to wear it.

 

ha...I was actually going to mention, the only time I look at lingerie now is if I'm considering an Exhibition post.
