Sexualised clothing makes no sense to us aces, thus, we ask what the purpose is. If we never asked we'd never learn would we? Well I think the answer is obvious. It’s about presentation, excitement and sexual fantasy. Why don’t asexuals generally like sexy lingerie? Link to post Share on other sites

It is not obvious to aces, any more than a light switch is obvious to someone who has only ever lived in the Kalahari desert. Understandable once explained, but not natural knowledge.

We gather it's for a sexual reason; what exactly that reason is is not obvious when you don't feel instinctive sexuality. Link to post Share on other sites

If you asked why they didn't understand that some sexuals do like it, then your response makes more sense. That’s my point. Both have very obvious answers. Neither question is any less legitimate or ridiculous than the other. Link to post Share on other sites
uhtred Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Another thing is that there are lots of different types of lingerie. While some is uncomfortable, there are also things that are comfortable, and I'm told even feel nice with silk against bare skin. As long as its warm enough in the house that things aren't getting cold, some lingerie can be as comfortable to wear as anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Here's a (probably shit) analogy. If I say to a non-car person I want bigger wheels on my car, they might guess it's for a performance reason. They probably wouldn't know the physics behind it however, and why I want a better performing car (because I'm a tuner and engineering-aficionado). I understand lingerie is worn for a sexual purpose. I do not understand why someone would want to be seen sexually (because I am ace and sex repulsed), or how lingerie works psychologically, unless someone tells me. Link to post Share on other sites

But it stands to reason as to why a sexual person would assume that an asexual just hasn’t the right partner yet. The sexual understands that the asexual hasn’t had sex and doesn’t want to but can’t understand why they don’t want to. Link to post Share on other sites

Not for people or underwear or clothes (fetishy or otherwise) or touchy-feely activities (BDSMy or otherwise). As for the lingerie itself, well... I'm a little bit grossed out by the 'gift wrap' idea that's been talked about here. I always thought of below-the-belt underwear as just a way to deal with the unpleasantness of the genitals and orifices underneath. Putting your household waste in a fancy decorated bin bag wouldn't make it any less unpleasant... Link to post Share on other sites

About a third of "womens" clothing baffles me to the extent that I'm not sure what part of the body it's meant to go on. I don't venture in said section any more except to buy trousers sometimes. My tops are all from the teen boy's section. Link to post Share on other sites

If I need a decoder, cheat sheet, diagram, master class, tutorial, involved demonstration or even a Cliff note break down on learning how to put on an outfit merely one of many different ways, I’d rather go naked.

neverlove Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Some of the bras that are classified as "lingerie" are incredibly comfortable. I do not buy matching panties, just the bras. It's also about size. Victoria's secret doesn't carry 32DDDD Link to post Share on other sites

The only bras that I can afford in my size are the beige grandma bras at speciality stores so no lingerie for me.. Not that I need it, haha. What seems like it would be really comfortable is a real corset made to fit.. That seems like it would hold them from the bottom which would be amazing!! But yeah while I like the look of lingerie on others, and understand that it can make some people feel very sexu and confident(!) it's just not for me even if they did make it to fit people like me. *sigh* Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I think lingerie (typically on whatever anime boy I'm interested in) looks really nice on the human body. Lingerie in of itself is really pretty. All these delicate, tight knit designs on soft skin. That's quite appealing I'll say. I love cat collars for people too hehe, boys look good in them ow o.

Chef Remy Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yes, being a male...Girls in lingerie never did anything for me. And never understood sexy or lacy underwear, lingerie, or stockings, peek-a-boo lingerie. And don't understand why women wear something that is uncomfortable...I get it if they like it. But it does nothing for me and does not impress me. Link to post Share on other sites
brbdogsonfire Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It is revealing clothing that still covers areas. From experience women often wear it to show whoever they are wearing it for that they are wanted sexually. The person viewing would get the satisfaction of knowing this was being done for them. It won't make much sense to a non sexual person because it effects the sexual parts of our minds. I like seeing women (for me) in it and although I feel like I'd love to seey asexual girlfriend in it I do realize that besides the initial excitement it wouldn't do much for me since the sexual reasons behind it would be gone. So I don't even ask because I'm pretty sure I'd be dissapointed due to my expectations caused by past experiences. Link to post Share on other sites
Zagadka Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 A lot of people can find the tease better than plain nudity. Personally I always aesthetically enjoy all clothing more than nudity, but obviously that is an outlier position in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
