For most men who love women’s lingerie, the act of wanting it, let alone wearing it brings with it a host of problems.
There are the internal problems, in which a man questions his masculinity and sexuality, and external problems where others question his masculinity, sexuality and even his merit as a man. Men who wear lingerie must contend with the fear of rejection from others, and their fear of their own desires.
So why not just stop wearing lingerie alltogether?
There’s something so very charming about vintage lingerie. Perhaps it is the way it harks back to a simpler time, before you could program your implanted RFID chip with your mp3 player. Perhaps it is the way that the lingerie from days of olde (a time somewhere between the present and the olden days) always seems to have been handcrafted by tiny Belgian nuns, or disenfranchised Lithuanian princesses, or some such thing. An item of vintage lingerie seems imbued with history, with a story that runs much deeper than the lingerie on offer at your local purveyor of lacy goods.
A man who loves bras will soon find that he is spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a bra. Does he want to be sensual? Does he want to be naughty? Does he want to choose a white bra which blends with the sheets and is hard to find after a night of passion? The choices are infinite, but our time here on earth is finite, which means some help in narrowing down the candidates is often appreciated.
It is said that a lady in red is more attractive than a lady in any other colour, but how about a man, hmm? Men who wear lingerie seem to have as much of a love affair with red lingerie on themselves as their lady. And why not? Red is the color of passion, of blood, of fire. Designers claim that red is the perfect color for calls to action, for inciting purchasing ‘violence’, if you will. Red lingerie arouses an entirely different kind of passion, passion of a more carnal type.
This article jumps in the deep end, but don’t worry, it makes sense in the end, I promise.
As recently as WWII, European communities had to contend with the possibility of being wiped out. Men went away to war, leaving only the frail, the sick and the young. Upon their return from war, we saw the conception of the baby boomer generation, a generation founded on all important ‘family values’.
Sometimes wearing lingerie is an act of rebellion. It is a signal that tells the world (subtly, under your clothes) that you will not be a slave to the norms enforced on you since childhood. No longer will you suffer in itchy cotton jockeys which do nothing for you on any level. No longer will you buy into the myth of utilitarian male underwear, no you will wear women’s lingerie and be proud of it! But what lingerie will you wear?
Many men who like to wear women’s lingerie bemoan the fact that ‘the world’ seems to be against men wearing women’s clothing. They’d like it to change, but they don’t know how to make that change. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on where one stands) for these men, the answer is as simple to say as it is difficult to find the courage to act on.
So here’s an interesting question. How far do you men in lingerie go? Is it a matter of slipping on a pair of panties and that’s all? Or have the panties lead to stockings, bras and other types of lingerie? Has your lingerie been a gateway into a who world of women’s attire? Having sampled the joys of a chemise, do you long to slip into a slinky dress?
I usually write about traditional lingerie for men, but the truth of the matter is that there is a whole wide world of lingerie out there, like petticoats. And you know what? Petticoats can be incredibly sexy, as evidenced in the picture you see before you.
