Lingerie: More Than Just Bras And Panties

Let anyone who has been married, for any length of time, tell you. One of the things, that keep a couple's sex life interesting, is lingerie - underwear, designed to be more attractive and alluring than their generic counterparts.

While it's not easy to explain why we, as men, find lingerie to be so enticing, there's no question of its great, sensual appeal and the refreshing effect it can have of spicing up, an otherwise boring, sex life.

There are, almost limitless, variations, and styles, of lingerie available. As people's tastes differ, and new ideas spring up, styles emerge to tease and tickle our fancy(as guys) in newer ways. Let's look at some of the styles.

First off, one of my personal favorites, the classic french maid outfit. While no-one seems to know what makes the idea of a french girl so sexy, it certainly has a wide fan base. Even in pop culture, related scenes often feature the customary, black and white, frilly outfit associated with this lingerie type. It might date back centuries to when french women were famously seen as the most attractive in the world.

The maid outfit, on the other hand, turns a lot of men on because of a domination fetish. Maids are hired to "serve" you, and so it creates this illusion when your partner wears the outfit. Whatever the technical reasons, this is, undoubtedly, one of the most popular lingerie types, and perhaps the oldest.

Next up, is the thong. This, smaller, variation of traditional women's lower underwear has a simplistic design purpose - to be still more revealing. Thongs can further be sub-divided.

Some are translucent, some are so thin they are barely visible, and some are decorated with colorful frills that attract some men. Cosmetic, sexual appearance aside, for the most adventurous, some are edible. These are usually sweet flavored, as they are intended to be "eaten off" - for those couple's who enjoy such kinky practices.

One more example, garter belts, actually have an original non-sexual purpose - to hold up stockings. They have, however, become a popular fetish due to the flexibility of how they can be used. These range from being worn solo, to attaching sexy stocking lingerie to the straps for an added turn on.

These are only a few of the many types of lingerie that have come up over the years. With each new fetish a new type can evolve, but they all have the same purpose - to make sex that much hotter which is so important, especially in a lasting relationship that could get boring otherwise.

Fantasies are what keep it interesting and lingerie is the perfect way to play these out. Incidentally, lingerie makes a great, sexy gift that you will both enjoy!
