Have you ever been around a group of guys and the discussion turns to attractive woman? Inevitably that conversation will bring up an age old question; what kind of man are you, a breast man, an ass man, or a leg man. Meaning which one of those female physical attributes attracts you more than the others. However it might be more appropriate on this site to ask a different question. Are you a bra man, a panty man, or a hosiery/heel man? These objects alone can cause discussion threads on this site to have pages in the teens and can last for months. But is it any wonder why? Look how closely the garments cover their corresponding body part often taking on the shape of that body part. Such a close association between clothing and body part could blur the line that separates them in some men's minds. That natural male attraction toward parts of the female anatomy is getting channeled into affection for bras, panties, and hosiery/heels. I would not say the clothing replaces the anatomy it would just have to piggyback it in a way.
So. What kind of man are you? And any thought on the association?
Hosiery and heels are together because of the effect they have on the leg but they can be separated.
