What makes sexy lingerie exotic?

Is lingerie just a fancy word for underwear?

Lingerie is about mystery, but whether it is a thong, teddy, corset, garter belt or g-string, the idea of lingerie is to make you the object of desire. Lingerie is about your attitude and how it makes you feel. Sexy lingerie can exude romance, beauty, glamour, decadence and a sense of playfulness.

Sexy lingerie is uncompromising when it comes to quality and workmanship, fine fabric, form or functionality; it's about style, the indulgent touch of satin, the elegance and delicacy of lace, and the luxury of pure silk against your skin. It's also about racy figure hugging lycra, spandex, leather or vinyl pieces which accentuate your natural curves and silhouette whilst unleashing the untamed goddess in you.

Sexy lingerie is so close, it is a part of you. The ideal of perfect beauty doesn't exist in a human form. The natural feminine form is inherently erotic. Sexy lingerie and high quality intimate apparel appeals to both fantasy and reality. Your body is appealing and your erotic sensuality is what either caught or will catch his interest when his eyes befall you. It is both provocative, impassioned and alluring. Sexy lingerie is also about comfort, style and making you feel sexy, gorgeous and occasionally wanton with reckless abandon. It transforms you into the woman you want to be, not just the visible, but penetrates your soul. How you feel is the most important part of the image you portray.

A heavenly baby doll nightie, sexy, chemise, teddy or corset brings out what has always been there but is hidden underneath. Lingerie is suggestive rather than explicit; a private invitation to someone special. It's that childish exhilaration and fun, the sense of expectation when opening your presents on Christmas day. It doesn't take anything away from the present itself, but enhances it. It's not a mere decoration. Lingerie isn't about just the look or feel, it's something that totally transforms you.

Lindelucy, the Brazilian clothing manufacturer, has sparked a controversy over the launch of it's GPS Device Lingerie, the modern day version of a chastity belt.

Critics are quick to point out the irony of having a GPS device inserted into a lingerie garment which is intended to be, well...jettisoned so to speak.

Lindelucy are marketing the device as part of their 'Find me if you can' product line, intended to tantalise with it's teasing playful nature.

The design inspiration of Lucia Lorio, the ensemble comprises a sexy lace bodice and bikini bottom, faux pearl collar with a GPS device situated within the bodice.

For those men wanting the perfect Valentine's day lingerie gift, which adds a bit of adventure to the occasion, it could be the ultimate solution. You could at least guarantee a definitive response. You partner might launch into a feminist diatribe, turn it off, or signal a green light by turning over the password to you after a little fun and games.

Lingerie is an indulgence, not a vice, so that $800 price tag, shouldn't cause you to navigate away from it. Unlike other types of lingerie it increases your blood flow, not just to one part of your anatomy. It is good every once in a while to clean out the pipes so to speak, and get the blood moving a little bit. This should be a mitigating factor if you are weighing up whether to indulge her with this gift would be a sin. Think of it as good healthy entertainment which gives you an instant reality check as to how she really feels about you.

After all, lingerie makes it hard to hide a lot of things, and is emotionally as well as physically exposing.
