Stockings and Speedos

Yesterday I talked about music that sparks passion or just puts you 'in the mood for love'. That got me thinking about other things that are considered sexy and how much variation is out there when it comes to individual sexual preferences. If you haven't given much thought to your preferences - or to your partner's preferences - when it comes to the things that stir sexual interest, you might want to give it some consideration. Over the next several days, I'll pick a different category for you to mull over and maybe discuss with your partner. Today I wanted to talk about clothes.

What type of clothing is a turn-on for you? I'm talking about clothes that can be worn in public. Some women are drawn to men in business suits - others to men in uniform (military, UPS, policemen, etc.) - while still others don't feel much stirring unless there's some skin exposed. Speedos are a real hot item for some and a total turn-off for others. And men? The stereotype, of course, is clothing that reveals cleavage and legs and leaves little to the imagination. In other words, as little clothing as possible. But men also have specific preferences - maybe a woman in an over-sized man's shirt and some tight jeans is the ticket or a woman in a well-fitted elegant dress.

And when it comes to clothing, it's not just what you're attracted to in others that's important, but what you wear yourself that makes you feel sexy. Hopefully, the latter is also what turns your partner on. If not, you might want to think about accomodating your partner's tastes as well as your own.
