The uninitiated assume that we buy erotic, sexy lingerie for others, for the approval of our partner, or to keep our sex lives interesting. The truth is that most of us buy it for ourselves, and for the way it makes us feel about ourselves when we’re wearing it. One’s sexual availability really has nothing to do with it. It’s about whether or not you feel you deserve to wear something beautiful for your own sake, not for someone else’s.
Back in the old days, the great burlesque stars of yesteryear did everything with a wink and a smile. City and country strippers were sexy, but in a different way than today–less frank and more flirtatious.
Let’s face it, kids, there are times when you want to wear a little something more than just lipstick and a smile. Of course, not much more–just enough, right? But, what do you do when you’re brazen in the bedroom, but all the lady when you go shopping? After all, they’re not very likely to carry that little latex Red Riding Hood ensemble at Saks.
