Up through the first half of the twentieth century women selected lingerie and underwear for three major purposes. lingerie should not be confused with a specific undergarment the fits around the genital and hips area, but here its meaning is that of all garments worn under outer clothing. These three purposes are to alter their shape, for reasons of good hygiene, and for modesty. To that purpose virtually all women’s lingerie were often very large and bulky, which were hardy sexy or erotic at all. This was the way women’s lingerie were manufactured and worn for almost one hundred years beginning in the early nineteenth century. Even the old corsets, which were developed to push up a woman’s bust line and slim down her waist, were not viewed as being sexy by women due to how uncomfortable they were. It was not until the eighteenth century that the flattery of the corset became some thing that was not as harsh to a woman’s body. This Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion and opportunity for you to incorporate a little romance into your life with your sweetheart, and it is not as difficult to do as you might think.
Romance is those unsuspected moments of pleasure and passion that writers write about and singers sing out. It is no understatement in the fact that it is difficult to fit romance into our jam-packed lifestyles; one that includes overwhelming professional responsibilities and those never ending mommy tasks, but what is more satisfying than putting a little romance into your life? Knowing that you are wanted as a woman and not just as the most accomplished executive or the most applauded super mom can be really important for your own self-esteem as it is to your relationships.
For you to create great romance, it is recommended that you begin with a little self-indulgence by finding some much needed time for yourself. Break away from all of life’s demands that you heap upon yourself every day, because just an hour or two can change your entire mood. Think about your wants and needs as you treat yourself to your own special extravagance. Lounge around in a long bath, buy frilly new underwear, stay in bed for an extra hour, enjoy an unhurried massage, or slowly devour expensive chocolates. It is your choice as it is your indulgence, which is the prelude to romance. Schedule the time you need to get away for a while and do not let anything interrupt. Your renewed self will thank you for the effort, and your family and friends will comment on your serenity.
