I'm a lawyer. Actually that pic was taken just about a week after I completed a horrible trial, prosecuting a guy who was probably the worst child molester in the history of the Air Force (he got life in prison and a Dishonorable Discharge). That case haunted me for a long, long time, but meeting my GF helped, God knows. Meanwhile, SSgt Kelly S. Erickson will have several decades to cool his heels in Leavenworth, where there is no lingerie at all to enjoy!

Yeah, except for the fact that 99% of the people on this forum are uber geek 2 pump chumps who probably suffer quick draw fast shots from just going INTO Victoria Secrets, let alone seeing a woman IN Victoria Secrets!

No comment on that, but I will say that most women (or at least mine) are a little skeptical of VS - it's not really high-quality stuff. My GF is admittedly pretty fashion-obsessed, though . . .

You're entitled to your opinion, just as I'm entitled to mine that you are a mean-spirited thread crapper. Anyone who boasts about walking around with his collar up is not a person whose take on fashion is of interest to me.

It's not expensive, you get credit for giving a gift, and you get to take it for a test-drive. What's not to like?
that is the most conservative lingerie i have ever seen. you just gave her a nightgown. :p

Little sensitive, are we?

I'm sorry, but you've got near limitless choice when it comes to lingerie. You've picked something that appeals to you and that's just great. I guess when my GF wears a thong daily I'm a little spoiled. I'd choose something a bit more risque.

It's not to her taste, or to mine, to wear something whorish. Everyone has their own taste, but I'm not interested in elaborate scarlet garter belts and the like.

ZING!
IMHO, he made some nice choices: that lingerie is sexy without making the girl look like a cheap hooker. Call it conservative if you want, but I think it's sexy.

As does mine. I just don't like, nor does she like, elaborate boudoir-style lingerie.

I generally don't like them, though they don't have to be whorish - that's a matter of design. I liked that look when I was a lot younger, but now it seems somehow cluttered, and I'm not really interested in the rigamarole of taking them off.

I?ve been tempted to try Bare Necessities. The thong you chose looks more like a brief. Yet, these are more comfortable to sleep in than a g-string, which is an important consideration. Has she tried the ?extreme? thongs at Fredericks?

?extreme thongs" For a closer view of the thong, click on the pic on the left. They are comfortable and reasonably priced. These are wonderful as daytime lingerie.

I stopped buying bedtime lingerie years ago. This was a mutual decision. It?s expensive and is only worn for a brief time. Yes, I bought it. Usually a man's first choice is the sexiest garment he can find. I blended size, comfort and sexiness. I know he wouldn?t appreciate it if I bought tight sexy jock strap lingerie for him. I?m not discouraging the purchasing of bedtime lingerie, have fun and enjoy.

What is she buying you? Men?s lingerie is sexy.

She usually wears g-strings, actually. She mostly wears either Cosabella thongs or DKNY g-strings in my experience. From my perspective, the quality and fabric are as important to the look of lingerie (and comfort as well, I'd have to think), hence my distaste for VS. The Dolce &amp; Gabbana stuff is probably costlier than she'd normally buy for herself, part of the reason I think it's a nice gift. She doesn't often wear dresses, and she wouldn't buy, or be comfortable wearing, some elaborate, frilly lingerie - I try to buy her things we'll both like.

I'm not wearing "men's lingerie," so it's just as well she's not buying it!

I find it funny that just about EVERYONE says that. Amazing how everyone is a pro.

Lingerie doesn't really float my boat, or my gf's boat. It's fun here and there, but hardly enough to justify the prices they tag on to thoes scraps of material.
I prefer naked.
