Buying Lingerie

For Men:

• If you are trying to buy lingerie for your significant other - know her size. If you show up with something too small, she will spend the whole night feeling fat, unattractive and you aren't gonna get any. If you show up with something to big - you might as well hand her a greeting card at the same time that says "I think you're a fat ass" - and you won't be getting any. If you don't know her size - get a gift card, or suggest you make it a fun shopping trip together.
• Know what your significant other likes. Believe it or not - part of the purpose of lingerie is for her to be willing to wear it. If you bring home crotchless panties and edible underwear, and she is a strictly babydoll chick - you may end up with no sex AND your girl thinking you are a complete deviant. If you have NO idea what she likes or what she feels sexy wearing - gift cards are God's gift to you, or go shopping together if she's into it.

For Women

• Lingerie was NOT created by the evil establishment (or men) to degrade you. Try it. At least once. You will find that part of the purpose of lingerie is to help you feel sexy, attractive and desireable - thus increasing chances of sex. Don't be surprised if you don't like all of the various types of lingerie, but don't throw out the idea completely because of some antiquated idea that it is evil or degrading.
• You DO need to know what your partner is attracted to. Not all men enjoy the dominatrix complete with leash, whips, chains and leather face mask - regardless of what you have seen in movies. If your guy can only get in the mood when you are dressed in furry bunny costumes - it counts as lingerie (tho you may want him to seek professional help, unless that's how you roll in which case - best of luck).
• Be willing to find a balance, and switch things up. Your Victoria Secret babydoll may be hot as hell, but if that is the ONLY thing you EVER wear when you are in the mood - things will get stale. It isn't that your choice is bad, it's just that everyone needs variety - chocolate is great, but if it is all you could ever eat, you might start to hate it after awhile.
• Role playing and costumes do NOT mean that your guy does not want to be with you. If he didn't want to be with you - he'd find someone else. Every now and then it is just fun to pretend to be someone else. Start worrying if he will ONLY have sex with you when you are wearing the mask of some other chick - like Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton (or seriously worry if he will only have sex with you when wearing the mask of a famous guy).

Lingerie is your friend, but realize sex is best when practiced by more than one person - and you got to think of the other person if you want the lingerie to have the desired effect. There are MANY sites with lingerie at reasonable prices, and the staples are available at every department store or mall. Try lingerie today. You won't regret it.
