If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Love may indeed be blind, but in order to create that love in the first place, you’ve got to start somewhere and wearing lingerie makes the “falling in love” process a lot easier for some people.

An interesting observation is that lingerie is worn more often while dating than it’s worn after the wedding vows have been spoken.

Lingerie is a big turn-on for a lot of men and women. And both genders generally know this. Some women and some men wear lingerie for its effects on their partners, while other people wear lingerie because it makes them feel sexy. Many women and men wear lingerie for both reasons.

But regardless of the reasons why men and women wear lingerie, it popularly is due to ability to stimulate a lovers libido and some times their own libido.

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

It's soft to the touch and can be very revealing without giving everything away before the "Christmas Gift" is fully unwrapped.

  • I do t really see the point of it tbh

    I mean I love wearing underwear and a bra

    But the rest seems like a lot of effort for something that won’t be on long

    Unless it stays on bc you don’t want to be naked

    But turn there just depressing reminder I don’t want to be naked

    Also I must be getting get cheap stuff bc it’s scratchy and never soft

    • I know there is a lot of junky scratchy lingerie. The good stuff cost a lot and it is soft. So it really does go by you get what you pay for.

    • Utah I wouldn’t want to lay down a ton on something that will make me feel like I’m hiding my body For me , I have clothes on or I don’t 🤷‍♀️

    • I do love corsets for the style But I like turn in the outside lol 😊

    • Show All

  • I myself was never really into the lingerie, until I met my husband. He bought me some and I liked it. I still prefer my jammies pants and T-shirt, but sometimes I do wear the pretty girly stuff be bought me. He loves it and I love to make him happy.

    • Y'all are so cute ^_^

  • I guess everyone has their own taste on what’s sexy to them, I guess with lingerie it gives and even better look at the surprise without seeing it yet and it never stays on long anyway

  • Because it is sexy as hell... ;-)

  • i like wearing a garter belt with silk stocking and in high heels with panties and bra definitely makes me want to perform a good blowjob where otherwise I wouldn't want to... same with wearing a short minidress without lingerie of course.

    • A lot of people like that

    • long as it's fun it's good.

  • You are confusing lust with love.

  • Lingerie hides what the man knows is there, but being hidden is part of the thrill.

    A woman only clad in black thigh high stockings is a lot more alluring and sexy than a totally naked woman.

    • I agree very much with that

  • Love is not the same as sexual attraction.

  • Lust isn't blind is the answer. But love isn't blind either.

  • love may be blind but the little head in the pants isn't.

  • Love and lust are not the same thing, though they're often confused. Likewise, they are not mutually exclusive, but to say that love begins with lingerie is a misrepresentation.

    Love is typically defined by three different terms: romantic (associated with sex and lust), phileo being "brotherly love," and then agape, which is defined as faithfulness, and almost a sense of duty.

    I don't look for lingerie or sexy outfits to grow love for a woman: I can do it all on my own, just by their actions, and some words. Looks fade, always. The personality does not change so drastically.

  • Lust can see

  • I guess it's because guys like it and some girls like wearing it.

  • Because religion is so deeply threaded into our way of thought that love and sex are always looked upon as the same thing even though their not. I can love a girl without wanting to have sex with her but I can also want to sex with a girl without loving her. Either way, a sexy girl is going to look sexy. Period. Sex is a totally separate thing from love unless in a religious context then they are one in the same. Obviously monogamy is important but it still doesn't make other women any less sexy.

  • Its more lust than love, but a good set of lingerie to me is better than being naked! if you going to remove it then dont bother to put it on!

  • You're misunderstanding lust for love.

  • "If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?" Because lust isn't.

    • Oooooh I like that! :O And men are very visual so the more potent the visual stimuli, the more he is easily conquered. Lol

  • Lingerie stimulates lust, not love lmao

  • When I really like her, I just want to see her like she feels comfortable, and what she usually sleeps in!
    Lace itches and isn't comfortable; some of the synthetic, stretchy things don't 'breathe', and that's not good! Other uncomfortable shit that some misogynistic asshole imagined?
    When she is comfortable, and really trusts me, when I say I prefer that, and she reluctantly believes, like meeting a unicorn, but I show her how much more fun it can be without all the fake BS, and imagined ideals, and just being comfortable, together, and then we can get on with the fun play things!
    Some might understand, others, maybe not. . .

  • Love may be blind but lust has better than 20 x 20 vision

    • Thats a great one

  • It's pretty silly to start off with the premise that love is blind in a literal sense. I think it's pretty clear to anyone who has been part of the human experience that love most certainly is not blind. Sexual attraction for both men and women is very visual - especially for men. As such, seeing women in their underwear is very erotic. If your premise is referencing the old saying that love is blind, then it still doesn't make any sense because in that case the word "blind" should be taken figuratively and not literally.

  • Love is blind. You are talking about sex.

  • Because lust isn't blind.

  • Hell... I love my men in lingerie
