In reply to a. nony.

Dear a.nony:

Wife saw this and says don’t do this the morning of your wedding. Do it three or four days before, because you will be tender and sensitive, not in a good way, that first day or two, which would not be at all ideal for the consummation of your marriage. Just sayin’

Note to J:

Yes, I keep my own stuff shaved and the surrounding area neatly trimmed. If a husband wishes to receive as well as to give, and what guy doesn’t, shouldn’t he try to make himself as presentable as possible?

Sadly most products are marketed as items that will magically fix something that is WRONG with us (eyelashes too short, breasts no longer firm, skin tone uneven, etc.) I appreciate your statement that we should use products to enhance who we are, not cover us up. Media teach us that a woman’s worth is based on her physical appearance and only her physical appearance. Even though we know better, we are influenced daily by media and their persistent, powerful messages. Imagine if women spent more on education and making a difference in the world than on cosmetics and such.

Live the post but Just a minor point concerning biblical interpretation. Just because an action is noted in the bible does not mean it is endorsed. There are many examples but your mention of Esther stood out to me. Esther was by all accounts just a teenager, caught up in an ungodly patriarchal society, and forcibly summoned to be used sexually by a pagan King. We know God’s bigger story and providence was the preservation of his people in the midst of difficult circumstances. But I wouldn’t take her 12 months of treatments as any endorsement. It’s not like she had a choice about much of anything in her life, which makes her courageous obedience to God very beautiful.

All the recent posts about beauty got me thinking. As a man, I find a real difference between being beautiful and being attractive. I know many women whom I consider beautiful who are not at all attractive and many women I find attractive that I would not consider beautiful (at least as the beauty industry defines beauty).

In reply to alchemist. My wife gladly tossed her corsets into file #13 shortly after we got married, at my request. She'd been wearing them because she was embarrassed at having an hourglass figure with more than half the sand on the bottom half. But she did find them uncomfortable. And I found that hugging her there was like hugging a tire. No fun at all. Eric

In reply to alchemist. I have two fancy corsets, and have even worn them (over a blouse) to go out to dinner or to a play. It's not necessary to lace them tightly, and you still get that nice 'line'. My husband loves them.

In reply to alchemist. Haha, I should have mentioned, I've done it before myself! I know how to deal with the post-wax bumps (cheap Stridex pads in the red box, if you can believe it, are awesome for fending off or healing razor burn or post-waxing bumps) and it honestly doesn't hurt, I just wanted to go to a pro for my wedding day! :)

In reply to susan in st louis. Yeah, I don't think I can give up my high heels...or at least not my heeled cowboy boots. :)

I really want a corset. It should not be uncomfortable. According to my research, it should feel like a hug 🙂 Some people even say it helps with posture and anxiety. I don’t want to waist train. I’ve seen a girl with an 18 inch waist. That’s a bit extreme for me. I just want a nice, properly constructed overbust corset. Why? Cause I like the aesthetic.
