If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Love may indeed be blind, but in order to create that love in the first place, you’ve got to start somewhere and wearing lingerie makes the “falling in love” process a lot easier for some people.

An interesting observation is that lingerie is worn more often while dating than it’s worn after the wedding vows have been spoken.

Lingerie is a big turn-on for a lot of men and women. And both genders generally know this. Some women and some men wear lingerie for its effects on their partners, while other people wear lingerie because it makes them feel sexy. Many women and men wear lingerie for both reasons.

But regardless of the reasons why men and women wear lingerie, it popularly is due to ability to stimulate a lovers libido and some times their own libido.

It's soft to the touch and can be very revealing without giving everything away before the "Christmas Gift" is fully unwrapped.

  • Women like shopping.

  • It does nothing for me. It's purpose is more for the woman than the man. It is to make them feel beautiful.

  • Love is blind, lust is not -- it is heigtened by something to pleasure our senses. Touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste.

  • like markup. lingerie is meant to enhance as woman's natural beauty not cover it up. many people forget that. but all women have some kind of natural beauty to them. no matter how they look physically. also helps if she enjoys her body for how it looks in the mirror.

    best to find something she likes or is willing to wear. that fits her well and hugs her body in a way that makes her feel sexy or attractive about herself.

    however since most of the time lingerie ends up coming off either before or during sex. does seem a bit pointless at times. unless she really just wanted to go that extra mile and wear it.

    • typo. should read " meant to enhance a woman's natural beauty not cover it up"

  • Lingerie is about lust, not love

  • Because lingerie and sex aren't love. They can be ways of expressing it though.

  • You're going to take it off anyway, so I don't see a point in investing too much money. Sure, I buy something if it is cheap, but other than that I look more for the practical aspects of it

  • I'm probably being captain obvious and didn't pick up the irony but "love is blind" as in it clouds your senses/judgement. Your belief and desire in someone can leave you totaly blinkered to how stuff really is.

  • You're confusing love with lust.

  • Love ≠ Sexual arousal

  • Because lingerie adds a new level of... play into the relationship. It has it's own allire.

    Me? Clothing don't make the woman always, but if she has personality and a corset. Well paint me interested. XD

  • I'm not saying it's not sexy; but I've always been more interested in what's in it

    • I so agree with that statement to

  • uuuhm , i dont think lingerie makes love , it makes temptation , it makes sexual tension , i dont think love has ANYTHING to do with that

  • It's honestly kind of pointless... It's super expesive, and then it's usually off in a few seconds. Kind of a waste of time to put it all on and spend the money just to have it come off quickly.

  • The 'blind' part is about forsaking all others - not turning a blind eye to your lover.

  • Because they are usually doing it in the dark and they need to grope, hence, love is "blind"? Guys are much more visual than gals and this gives them something even nicer to look at.

  • Men are visual beings that is why women over the ages have always gone to great lengths to improve their looks

    • Yep agree with that

  • love isn't visually blind. it's figuratively blind.

  • Love is blind means a person in love is blind to their crushes flaws and sees only the good things

  • Because love and lust are two different things
