Since time immemorial, humanity has always been obsessed with human sexuality. Countless books have been written on various topics related to sexuality, how to improve it and how to make it lasting. It has been said that only humans and pigs have sex to enjoy. The rest of the species indulge in sex mainly for procreation purposes. Humans (and pigs in this case) just want to have fun. This need to indulge in rampant sexual activity has seen empires crumble, meaning the Roman Empire which decayed to the core with the sexual debauchery of emperors and the masses alike has also seen a rise in crimes of passion . The Kamasutra is a living embodiment of our conscience and sexual decadence.
Lingerie is a word that denotes visually appealing underwear that both men and women gain and accentuates their sex appeal. These types of garments differ from normal and basic cotton-based underwear, in that the material used to make them is elastic and more attractive. Materials such as satin, nylon, lace; polyester and silk are the most used in lingerie.
This form of clothing has evolved from girdles and corsets that were extremely bulky and tight for women, to the more recent form-fitting ones. In the 18th century, women wore girdles to create a shapely shape or for hygiene or even modesty. As wars became rampant and men enlisted to fight, women did back-breaking menial jobs, and with the need to wear less bulky clothing, they began to wear less and less clothing. Women’s clothing underwent a transformation, and the clothing manufacturers of yesteryear began to make more conventional clothing for women and that included bras and panties that were more manageable.
Every woman today wants to look smart, daring and confident. What better way to achieve this goal by wearing the piece. The women’s clothing and lingerie market has spawned a multi-billion dollar industry, with clothing designers carving out a niche and running highly successful companies. For a long time, the beauty products, clothing and lingerie industries have collectively championed the slim, forlorn-looking model as the face of beauty, much to the chagrin of women around the world packing on a little more weight. There has been a change in attitudes so much so that large women are no longer called fat or obese, but are referred to as thick, plus size, phat (pretty, hot, and thick), and even BBW, which means big woman. and beautiful. The big wigs in the industry have realized that they have been ignoring such a huge market (pardon the pun). A change in the way this niche market is perceived has allowed both designers and clients to come together for their mutual benefit. Now, plus size models modeling the latest in womenswear and sexy lingerie have graced many runways and even for a time, plus size lingerie was all the rage, with many pageants launched in her honor.
