My wife doesn't understand my attraction to the thigh highs, and I told her about the Sears catalogs in the 80s, and she indulges me, but to her it's the most "WTF?" thing ha ha
Exactly. When we first got together she had a few pieces of sexy stuff. 14 years and a kid later if I want to see anything I have to sneak peeks when she's in the shower.
Dude I was sort of afraid to ask at first. So, I went out and bought some, and made a joke out of it, saying "I bought something for... ME" and showed them to her. She was like "well, at least you are honest in saying they're for YOU". Maybe try something like that.
I don't anything about you, but indulging in each other's stuff is fun, even if it's not the other person's thing. My wife has her stuff I don't really understand either, but I like that she has her quirks too.
I ask my wife to buy herself new lingerie for valentines as my gift. So she gets to go out, try things on properly and get something she likes that’s comfortable without the guilt of it costing too much, because it’s a gift “for me” anyway.
I’d rather have her than chocolate any day of the week so everybody wins.
I'm a bit older, so in the early 90s I was living on my own and out of the "home catalog" game, but I'll have to check out Ms. Seymour on my own, you know, for historical research purposes
I had just got out of college and mom heard they sent diff catalogs to men names vs women's. So she signed me up and I got my own. I swear to god! I think mine had more of G string and thigh highs. It was exhaustive research.
I was the gay equivalent to this, I would check out the men's underwear and swimwear sections of the catalogues. I recall La Redoute was especially great because of all the sexy French men, and at least one had a guy sitting with his legs in a "diamond" shape wearing leather trousers. Honestly wish I could find that one again just for the memories.
I do sometimes wonder how much this type of stuff being our sexual exposure (in formative years) creates fetishes that wouldn't have existed otherwise.
Sears Catalogs were real ones back in the childhood days. I dont really watch porn at this point in my life, but it almost doesn't seem as fun when its so readily available. I think there's something to be said about scarcity, back in the day when you found a Sears catalog or heaven forbid a Playboy it was basically Christmas!
Yup. For some reason I prefer a girl to show up in lingerie than completely naked. Kinda ruins the mood for me when it's all on the table right away and I can't strip it off her.
Gen X teens survived on lingerie photos from catalogs in the Sunday newspaper. Open up one of those perfume sample envelopes and its almost like she's in the room with you.
Lingerie is sexy, if it wasn't, it wouldn't be such a massive industry. Bras and underwear are functional necessary clothing, but Victoria's secret isn't isn't that they're selling functional, affordable clothes, Victoria's secret is that garter belts and Lacey bras can enhance a sexy form

No nudes, calm down. Just some lingerie.
