Whether you’re single, dating around, or in a long-term relationship, there’s a lot to be said for the wonders of a well-stocked underwear drawer. Sexy lingerie can take just about any sexual encounter from good to great in an instant. And yes, intimate wear is for everyone, so you don’t need to look a certain way or have a specific body type to benefit from it.
Here’s a closer look at why everyone would do well to make sexy intimate wear a part of their own bedroom routine. What additional reasons would you add to the list?
1. It sets the tone for a new relationship
Although sexual desire tends to take care of itself when a relationship is brand new, sexy lingerie still brings a lot to the table. For one thing, it sets the stage for a sexual relationship where effort, fantasy, and indulgence are always part of the mix.
Wearing the right intimate wear to bed helps you feel sexier and more confident. It also sends a clear message to your partner that they’re incredibly lucky to have you in their arms and in their bed. In a world where far too many people just can’t be bothered to put in the effort in the bedroom, gorgeous lingerie is one way to set yourself apart in all the right ways.
2. It keeps things from becoming too routine
Although the right sexy lingerie can definitely help when it comes to a new relationship, it can be exactly what a longstanding established relationship needs to keep ruts, routine, and boredom at bay. When people have been together a while, they get comfortable with each other – almost as comfortable as they’d be on their own – and that’s a good thing in some ways.
But too much comfort isn’t so great for your sex life. No one would come to bed with a new partner wearing old underwear full of holes or that’s half stretched out of shape. Yet they do it all the time with their long-time spouses and then wonder where the magic’s gone. Lingerie is an easy way to show you still care enough to put in the effort and make your partner feel special.
3. It’s a fantastic confidence booster
Sexy lingerie isn’t just for spicing things up in the bedroom. It’s also a refreshing upgrade your everyday approach to underwear could probably use, so there’s no need to think of it as something you’re wearing strictly for your partner unless that’s genuinely the way you want to see it. It’s for you just as surely as it’s for them.
Knowing you have on beautiful underwear that fits you well and makes you look amazing is a great way to boost your confidence and walk a little taller as you go about your day. It makes you feel pulled together and like you’re ready for absolutely anything. And you never have to worry about being caught unprepared if an opportunity for a chance encounter with your partner happens to present itself.
4. It can make a great introduction to roleplaying
The wonderful world of sexy lingerie goes well beyond the lacy bra and pantie sets you might be used to. Couples who really love what lingerie and sexy intimate wear bring to the table often eventually raise the bar a little and explore even more ways dressing up can take their love play into unexplored territory.
For example, fun or costume-focused lingerie can be a flirty, enjoyable way to explore roleplaying without taking things too seriously. Lingerie can grant you the opportunity to be a naughty nurse for the evening or to rock your partner’s world by bringing that longstanding schoolgirl fantasy they’ve always had to life. Be creative, think outside the box, and have fun with it.
5. It promotes a healthy body image
If you struggle with body image issues, you may be thinking that the last thing you want to do is dress up in sexy lingerie and strut around in front of your partner. But actually, lingerie can help with all that in a major way. Today’s options come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, colors, and sizes, so there’s truly something out there that will flatter anyone.
The key to success here is to pick options that fit you well and flatter your shape in ways that you really enjoy. Yes, it’s great to consider what you think your partner might want to see you in, as well. But you’re ultimately going to be your sexiest and most attractive in something that makes you feel sexy first.
So don’t be afraid to experiment and explore a little. Build a collection a little bit at a time, and stock your underwear drawer with a good mix of everyday items and sexy or fun options for special occasions. You’ll love what it does for your confidence and your love life.
