i thought the question was hilarious. now i'm curious, why is it so popular?
i've always thought it was because men are very visual and really enjoy sight stimuli...lingerie just helps to create an image that can turn men on. | |

As for us guys dressing up in "skimpy things to catch your eye", I did ask in a previous thread about guys and thongs, and got a unanimous "EEEEEEEWWWWWWW" from all you lovely ladies, so that's why we don't do it! LOL
Any more questions?  | |

Take one very ordinaly looking woman, who loves sex.
Who is carring a few curves but who isn't fat. Who does have a few small wrinkles.
Who is completely comfortable talking about it or doing sex.
Who's attitude to bad lovers is "There's no such thing. There's good these batter, adn there's orgasmic."
Who likes wearing sexy lingerie becasue it makes her feel sexier.
The guys will see such a woman as georgeous unless she's absoloutely dog ugly. In that way love is blind. Or , more accurrately, the guys eyes play tricks on them. | |

(I make quite a bit, but apparently that has no effect.... there's something else I must be missing...) | |

Lingerie is popular because wearing it is a win-win situation. I love wearing sexy lingerie because it seems to intensify my femininity and encourage my sensual side. I love the way I feel while wearing it. I have "everyday lingerie" and "special lingerie". When there's a special guy in my life, I've found wearing sexy lingerie keeps the romance fresh when it's in the early stages and rejuvenates the romance and lust for each other when the newness starts to decrease in intensity. Those spontaneous romps behind closed doors make it well worth the effort it takes to stay in shape to look good wearing it.
I agree with the OP that men enjoy sight stimuli - if this wasn't the case, then there would be no market for sexy lingerie, men's magazines and porn. I must admit that I am as equally visual as my counterpart when it comes to sexual stimuli - it's a total turn-on to see a well dressed, physically fit guy whose total look and attitude is oozing panache.
Lingerie is quite popular because it encourages a women to feel sensual not only for the guy in her life but likewise for herself. Since a guy is so visual, the image of his woman wearing sexy lingerie keeps running through his head - oops! a play on words when he's away from her. I'll say it again... the effects of wearing lingerie is a win-win situation.. !!

I Imagine they appreciate the small amount of effort it takes to get lingerie on for him and the thought put into planning to show it to them in the first place... but it lasts all of a minute most of the time. | |

| If Love Is Blind....Why Is Lingerie So Popular? Posted: 12/3/2007 9:29:30 AM | I think lingerie only makes us feel better! Every man I have ever been with had my clothes off so fast I don't think they ever saw my panties! When I met my hubby I bought a whole bunch of new bras and panties - cost me about $300 - but what did he like me in the best? At t-shirt and short set - with a picture of a teddy bear on the front - $12!!  | |

It's not just the clothes themselves that appeal. It's the fact that you're going out of your way to talk to me in my native (visual) tongue. It's the fact that for once, at that moment in time, I *know* exactly what you're thinking when you're buying those suspenders. I *know* exactly what you're thinking when you're doing up that corset. It's the fact that you get to look and feel (and act) like that sex goddess that's buried deep inside you, yearning... aching.... to come out. And the fact that I'm the guy that inspired that wanton sex goddess to burst forth.
Now if that doesn't get your engine running.... Now if you'll excuse me... I need a cold shower.  | |

(I make quite a bit, but apparently that has no effect.... there's something else I must be missing...) ================================= You make som but you don't make megabucks. If you make megabucks that appeals to her sense of greed. If you are skint and make NONE then that appeals to her caring and maternal instincts. At least it does untill she has a real baby and her instincts are transferred over quick smart.
The problem is that, like most of us. you make something between. | |

| If Love Is Blind....Why Is Lingerie So Popular? Posted: 12/13/2007 6:33:11 PM | | Wearing lingerie is something sexy women do. It's pretty, feels sexy, and most often accentuates your body, as opposed to say, a loose flannel nightgown that shows nothing. And women who go out of their way to dress sexy almost always do all the other things that we like too; perfume, hair done nice, good grooming and hygiene EVERYWHERE, etc. not to mention the fact that she's spent all that time thinking about the sexual side of the relationship, it's already got her in the mood. It's just nice. But ladies, try to find out what your guy likes, maybe leave the victoria secret catalog around and go through it together. I hate animal prints, and there's no easy way to tell someone that what they think looks sexy as hell is actually a turn off without insulting her in some way. | |

| If Love Is Blind....Why Is Lingerie So Popular? Posted: 11/2/2008 2:40:44 AM | | Love may be blind; but lust involves ALL 5 senses! Lingerie 101 should be a mandatory class for all men. I LOVE shopping for lingerie; the different prints, textures, and materials; picturing her wearing it; imagining what I'm going to be doing to her while she's wearing it; fantasizing about what she is going to be thinking, doing or wanting. Lingerie is a win win proposition; she gets a gift; I get the pleasure. | |

| If Love Is Blind....Why Is Lingerie So Popular? Posted: 11/11/2008 7:54:08 AM | | Maybe it is just me.........but I don't own any. All the men that I have been with have never needed that kind of stuff. Me walking around in a t-shirt and thong was enough. I think it is cool if you like it. I am kind of a basic girl and don't like to spend money on that kind of stuff because I have so many other places for it to go when I have kids and horses, but I would wear it if it was a gift. I think different things stimulate different men.........I must just pic the guys that don't need a lot. | |
