From Modesty To Bare Nothings: Ditching The Undies Revolution part 4 (b)

By Miriam B. Medina

(Continued from Page: 4 (a)

One other trend that the sexual evolution of lingerie has started is an absence of undies altogether. Not wearing undies in America is known as "freebuffing" or "going commando."

Although "going commando" is practiced by both sexes, my focus is on the female body. As to the reason why women prefer not to use underwear, there could be several: they experience a non-restrictive, awesome feeling of freedom when they air it all out. Some find that tight-fitting clothes look better without panty outlines. There are also women that find it sexually arousing when they feel the seam of their tight jeans making contact with their genitals. The only problem with this is that you have to be careful of the zipper. Going bare, at least for young ladies and slightly older women, is an invite called "ready for action." Simply telling a guy that you are not wearing panties will sexually arouse him to no end because there won't be any hurdles for him to jump over to get where he wants to go.

So for all those liberated ladies who choose to go bare and let it all air out, in respect of those of us who are still desperately clinging to their modesty from the Victorian era, I strongly recommend the following:

1. First and foremost, maintain a daily rigorous program of sanitary cleansing. Shaving makes this easier.

2. If you are wearing a dress or skirt at work, the edge should be no higher than 3 inches above the knee, or when you sit at your desk, at least remember to cross your legs. We don't all want a show.

3. When you want to pick up something from the floor, please bend at the knees so you do not provide too much of an eyeful.

4. Last and most importantly, remember to bring a pair of panties just in case you should have a lactose problem, discharge when you cough, or mostly when it is that time of the month.

By the way, with all this talk about immodesty and sexy lingerie, I wonder if I should mull over a newer version of my own naughty apparel. Some of them are looking quite shabby lately. But then again, maybe that's a turn on in this day and age in itself, so I think I'll pass.
