ORIGINAL: sodsta What makes you feel sexy? The reason I ask is because I was having a discussion the other day about fetish clubs, and what people like to wear to make themselves feel more sexy or desirable. The person I had this discussion with said she likes to wear corsets and stockings to these clubs, not only attract attention, but also because those items make her feel more sexy on a completely personal level that has nothing to do with how others view her. She then asked me what clothes make me feel sexy, and... I didn't have an answer for her. The thing is, I don't think I own any clothes that have ever made me feel sexy. I've never put on a certain t-shirt and thought "Damn... that's hot". I've never slipped on a particular pair of jeans and fallen instantly in love with my reflection. Clothes are just clothes to me, really. I mean... I can appreciate the aesthetic value of certain items of clothing... I wouldn't buy clothes I didn't like the look of, after all... but I don't find any of them particularly sexy. Generally, for me, I think feeling sexy is more about what's going on inside rather than out. It's based on emotional stimuli. It's a feeling I get based on what's going on around me, what I'm doing personally, or what other people are doing with/to me. If I go to a fetish club I will dress up ONLY because they won't let me in if I don't. I hate that. If fetish clubs had no dress-code I'd be perfectly happy showing up in jeans and a t-shirt. I think this may be a simple case of male vs. female. I know there is a lot more pressure on women to appear sexy than there is on men, so that might very well be it. But I still wanted to ask. So, as I said... what makes you feel sexy? Is it a certain item of clothing? Interaction? Something completely external, like music or certain images? Or perhaps something more internal and inexplicable? Thanks for any input. :) I used to think it was clothing and there one's appearance, but it's not that, although I do dress kind of fetishy in my day to day existence. What makes me feel sexy, is when someone takes an interest in me as a person, preferably the opposite sex, but it has happened, members of my own sex, in which case flattered comes into the feeling. When I go out, I dress to my best, but I know the wrapping is not the only attraction, a positive attitude and a smile goes a long way.
