I wanted to talk to you about those most secret and enticing of all ladies clothing: her undergarments.
Knowing that one is wearing beautiful, expensive, matching lingerie is for me an enormous turn-on. I love the entire ritual. Going shopping for something that, is on the one hand, quite perfunctory and on the other, secret, hidden, exotic and mind-bendingly seductive when deployed at just the right time. We have all heard the exclamation “how can something so small cover so much?” And that is the part that I love.
I love to tease and ensnare, to capture the imagination (the most important and effective foreplay of all). Choosing lingerie that perfectly matches your outfit or mood can completely change the way you feel about yourself. The way you walk, the way you hold yourself, the way you sit. Even your very behaviour and outlook shifts subtly.
Within all this, I include perfume and body cream. I take a lovely warm bath, filled with rich, decadent bubbles and oils. I listen to music or read whilst sipping ice-cold dry white wine. I emerge, wrapping myself in a huge soft white bath towel. Then I cream my whole body and spritz an enveloping mist of my favorite perfume `du jour’.
Then depending on what I am wearing, where I am going and what I am doing, I select suitable undergarments. Sometimes simply matching bra and panties (I always wear a silk slip or petticoat). Then the fun can really start. I might add stockings, gossamer thin, practically invisible. Even as I gather them up in my hands and begin to stretch them over my perfectly painted toes and up my
calves I feel the same thrill of femininity, of old world decadence that I felt the very first time I ever wore them, aged 14. As I fasten them to the suspenders, the tone of the day (or night) is set.
Sometimes I wear a corset. There is nothing in the world like it. As though a really strong pair of hands has grabbed you and is now holding on to you. I tighten the strings and watch my hourglass waist shrink down to a perfect 26 inches. The feeling is incredible. It fulfills my feminine fantasies. It transports me to the movies I used to watch as a little girl, when I made the decisions about what it was to be female and the kind of woman I wanted to be.
I saw then that men were transfixed by this hypnotic arrangement of gauzy fabrics and rigid stays. And although we are now bombarded with explicit images, we have seen it all, got the proverbial T-Shirt, I am convinced that old-fashioned sexuality holds its own. Not to mention the viewer’s imagination and thumping heartbeat…
