As a guy who has avidly consumed porn for 20 years, I say this:
Women are objectified by men who objectify them, because of who the man is, and not because of what she does.
These men will objectify any woman. They do not due it because of how she looks, or because of the influence of porn on his brain, or anything else. What he objectifies them AS might be influenced by that, but not his behavior itself.
Men who will objectify can not be kept from doing so. Eliminate all the porn in the world, put women in burqas, and these kinds of guys will still be pigs.
And guys who do not objectify do not objectify. He sees you in lingerie, and you are still a person. A very sexy person, in that moment, and he loves what he sees, but you are not stripped of every characteristic in his mind and reduced to a sex doll.

I think many women confuse empowerment with confidence. You love the way you look, you feel good in your skin, therefore your self-confidence increases. Empowerment means to have power over others and unless a guy sees your lingerie I doubt you'll have that much power over him. Either way it's incredibily sexy to see a woman who is confident about her looks. Such women are very attractive to us even if they're nowhere near the Victoria Secret's angels. ;)
i dont think there's any actual power in being sexy. you have to rely on a guy finding you sexy. which can be pleasant but its not a power like physical or mental strength or insight or respect organizing, etc. its a joke that beauty is power its the opposite bc women waste valuable time mental energy and creativity on something that is fleeting and effects no actual change in the world.
One of the problems I have with feminism is that something can be both simulataneously feminist and anti-feminist. A definition that contradictory collapses into absurdity.

Lingerie never did much, if anything for me personally, I'd rather see you nude but if it makes a woman feel good and/or sexy go ahead.
My honest opinion.. is that women who wear lingerie look hot... women work so hard to look good... more than they should... I love a woman in Lingerie... lingerie is my kryptonite
It will empower some, degrade some and make no difference on others
If they are not fat, Hell yea it make em hotter lol
I think it reveals women's bodies
.. yes, if its black
It sure does for me.
