Seduction Tip
Sprijngtime is traditionally a time to share hopes and dreams. Add a new twist to this tradition by sharing your fantasies at any time of the year. Set the mood for the moment with soft lighting or candles. Open a bottle of wine, and stretch out on the couch in a romantic robe and gown combination from Hips and Curves. Then slowly describe to him in detail how you'll seduce--and be seduced--by him. A wicked sparkle in your eye will leave him in no doubt that he'll enjoy acting out your fantasies as much as you will!

Silky Stuff - lingerie - Undergarments and other "Unmentionables"

Undergarments, also called "underwear", "lingerie" (undergarments for women), or sometimes "intimate clothing", are clothes worn next to the skin, usually under other clothes.

Some clothing is specifically underwear, while T-shirts and some shorts are suitable as underwear as well as outer clothing. Suitability as outer clothing is, apart from outdoor or indoor climate, largely a social and sometimes even a legal matter. One of the criteria for shorts not to be suitable as outer clothing may be that it has a fly that avoids exposure of the skin just by an overlap of cloth, without buttons, etc.

Wearing and changing underwear permits outer garments to be worn repeatedly without needing to be cleaned.

In addition to keeping outer garments from soiling, undergarments are worn for a variety of reasons: warmth, comfort and hygiene being the most common. Undergarments are often used for modesty or erotic display; sometimes both of these motivations are simultaneously present.

Undergarments can also have religious significance, as in the special temple garment worn by followers of the LDS Church (Mormons). Some Jews use clothing that should neither touch the skin, nor be used as outer clothing: tallit katan or tallet ketannah or tzitzit ("Every Jewish boy and man is supposed to wear Tzitzis every day. If this is not possible, try and wear it every time you go to synagogue. Tzitzis is an undergarment." [1] (http://jewishbazaar.com/BAZAAR/TzizitInfo.HTM)).

Underpants are also called pants in British English.

Women's underpants are also called knickers (British English) or panties (American English).

The two major types of men's underpants are boxer shorts (shorts-length and loose) and briefs (smaller and tighter).
