Out From Under

Used to be that butt crack was about as appealing as ear wax. We all knew we had it, but we really didn’t want to see it socially. Sexually? Now that’s different. Always has been. Once the clothes come off, a sexy butt is a sexy butt, crack and all. (As for that ear wax [...]

You know, as equality of the sexes marches on, it can seem like women are getting the short end of the stick.
We get access to those “traditionally male” jobs — but our pay is still, overall, some 30% lower. We can continue our careers after we have children — and we keep doing 90% of [...]

Hallowe’en is coming! What are you going to be?
Are you the sort who goes for the goofy — a big bunny, a clown, a giant, walking stalk of celery? The classic — ghost, witch, Frankenstein’s monster? Or maybe, being a reader of this blog, you have a penchant for the sexy.
You’d think there’d be a [...]

In case you can’t read the small print, it says
“Earn the right to wear white.”
ABSTAIN
Goodness. Where to begin?
Who wears white? The Bride, of course. The Princess for a Day. The Virgin Offering. Certainly not her potential husband. You don’t see any abstinence boxers out there. So, the target audience for these words of mind-control encouragement [...]

The text says,
“You won’t be able to stop them (i.e. men), but you can protect yourself. He who created you knows what’s best for you!”
You know, if men are the problem and women the unwilling recipients of a lot of unwelcome attention — and goodness knows this isn’t a shocking notion even to we un-veiled [...]

I once wrote a post elsewhere in which, among many underwear options, I mentioned the thong. In this case, it was a man-thong (posing pouch, banana hammock, call it what you will) and I poked a teeny bit of tongue-in-cheek fun at it.
Holy crap, some people are seriously passionate about undergarments.
Thongs (for male or female) [...]

Tiny Asian woman advances upon larger Asian man, some tiny confection of satin and lace in her raised fist. Man backs away, trembling, shivering. “No! Anything but that!” He shrinks visibly, cowers in the presence of … her panties?
There’s a lot wrong in the country of Myanmar (also called Burma). The military regime is powerful [...]

The last time lingerie was the focus of social reform, it was going up in smoke. Literally. That, however, was then. This is now. These days bras are are no longer implements of the dark side, symbols of the repression and objectification of women. No, now they are being revered for their power to Do [...]

Clothes have always had multiple purposes. They keep us warm, dry, and protected from the elements. They preserve modesty, protect others from unpleasant sights, maintain that element of surprise. And they say something about the wearer — his or her social position, affluence, education level, cultural background.
To those in the know in each style [...]

Women’s lingerie. What’s not to like?
You can get it in every style imaginable. No matter the wearer, the lingerie can express the woman inside, be she ingenue, wannabe courtesan or jaded crone. Or actual courtesan or enthusiastic crone, come to that.
Pink lace, black leather, silk, satin, cotton, hemp. Shimmering ribbons, glittering studs. Neck to toe [...]
