DearSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0700

Even if you aren't a lingerie girl per se, a bra is mandatory if you're at all endowed in the chest area! Of course, women come in a myriad of sizes and shapes, but Glamour magazine has come up with the average woman's bra size. Can you guess what it is?

Dear Quiz: Out With the Old (Lingerie), in With the New

DearSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0700

Although I can't think of a better reason to buy some new lingerie than a honeymoon, showing off new skivvies as a married woman certainly isn't mandatory. But back when tradition ruled courtship and marriage, things were different. A wedding was the transition from girl to woman, and this step was reflected in a myriad of customs. One such practice that a soon-to-be bride partook in before her wedding was to collect new linens, personal effects, and particularly, lingerie to bring to her new home. Do you know what this compilation of bridal items was called?

Dear Poll: Did You Buy New Lingerie For Your Honeymoon?

DearSugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

I can't think of a honeymoon without instantly thinking about sex — they just go hand in hand. Not only does hotel sex make everything more fun, but dressing the part is another piece of the puzzle that sets the mood for romance. Even though I'm not a lingerie girl per se, I'm all for bending the rules for special occasions and I can't think of anything more special than your honeymoon! So ladies, even though you spent a lot of money on your wedding, and no doubt a pretty penny on your honeymoon itself, tell me, did you buy new lingerie for your honeymoon or did you pack your sexiest getups from your already-established lingerie wardrobe?To see all of our wedding coverage, check out IDoSugar.com.Source

Dear Poll: Did You Buy New Lingerie For Your Honeymoon?

I bought all new lingerie. It's my only honeymoon so I wanted it to be as special as possible!

I just bought one new piece for our first night and it didn't stay on very long!

I just brought things I already own.

I've never been a lingerie person — I'm more of a tank top and boy shorts kind of girl!

Women's Common Complaint: He's Not Into My Sexy Lingerie

DearSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700

You tried so hard to get your man excited — you went shopping with your girlfriend and picked up the sexiest satin and lace number you could find. You thought you looked great and was sure your man wouldn't be able to resist you. Then when you slipped it on for what you thought was going to be one amazing night, he wasn't that into it. What gives?

While it's true that guys are very visual when it comes to sex, not all guys love to see their woman in sexy lingerie. It all comes down to personal preference, and a feather-fringed nighty may not be the type of thing that turns your guy on. So what can you do about it?

If you love wearing sexy getups because it makes you feel sexy and beautiful, then don't worry about what he thinks. Wear it anyway because your confidence will surely be a turn-on.
If you only bought it for him and he's not even batting an eye, find out what he does like you to wear. Maybe he's into a plain white T-shirt or your old high-school cheerleading outfit or perhaps he'd rather see you in nothing at all. You'll never know unless you ask.
While many guys get turned on by what they see, maybe your man is more intrigued by how you smell or feel, or what you say to him. Again, you'll only know by talking to him about it.

You Asked: How Do I Blow Him Away?

Dear Sugar,

My fiancé is coming home in a week from being gone for a year at school in another state. I want to surprise him with the best night he's ever had. It needs to be completely unforgettable, but I don't know what to do. Obviously something sexy will ensue, but how do I start it? Dinner? Wine? What can I do to totally blow him away?

Dear Poll: How Often Do You Go Braless?

DearSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 13:00:00 -0800

I happen to have a bigger chest, and while it can be great to have boobs sometimes, it can also be a burden. I'd love to wear backless dresses or tank tops without a bra, but I just can't get away with it. I'm always jealous of the girls that can and while I certainly wouldn't want to do it every day, it would be a thrill to leave the bra at home every once and awhile. So tell me ladies, how often do you go braless?Source

Dear Poll: How Often Do You Go Braless?

Never — I just don't feel comfortable without a bra.

Rarely — Just when I need to for a particular top.

Frequently — If I can get away with it, I will.

Always — It's how I feel best!

Do Tell: Do You Feel Sexy in Lingerie?

DearSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:00:00 -0800

Since Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I suspect many of you will be receiving lingerie from your husbands or boyfriends on February 14th. I absolutely love the way lingerie looks, but I've never been comfortable wearing lacy bras and panties — I'd rather stick with a slinky nightgown or cute pair of boy shorts. Since feeling sexy is different for everyone, do tell, do you feel sexy in lingerie?

Do Tell: Do You Pick Your Lingerie for Him?

DearSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 07:00:00 -0800

Building a lingerie wardrobe takes a lot of time and dedication, but it sure is fun to collect! Whether you like risque bras and panties or prefer the essentials (seamless t- shirt bras and everyday undies), ladies, do tell: Do you purchase your lingerie to please your man or to please yourself? Do you shop for comfort and practicality or for a way to turn up the heat in the bedroom?

You Asked: Can I Recycle?

DearSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 17:00:00 -0700

Dear Sugar --

Since you are the Love & Sex expert, I thought I'd ask your opinion on this subject. Is it in bad taste to use lingerie from a previous relationship with your new partner? I have some great pieces and I'd hate to give them up, but I can't decide whether or not that's tacky. I was wondering what all of the Sugar ladies (and gentlemen) out there thought. Any suggestions? -- Economic Erin
