Oh, this has an easy answer, if you know any feminist theory.Originally Posted by ReineD
what is it about the dressing that is so sexually stimulating, and why is this? Hmmmm?
One important part of the feminine role is to be an object of men's sexual desire, and in particular, to embody men's sexual desire and all that is sexually attractive to men. Women's clothing, the ideal female body type, the make-up, the hair, feminine behavior, all are intended to contribute to making women into the sort of female object that men most desire sexually -- or have been trained to desire. Twisty Faster refers to this as women being "the sex class."
All that sexuality is sort of like manna (in the magical power sense) which infuses everything that the object touches. That includes the high heels (shoe fetishes), the clothing worn by the object (e.g., used panty fetishes), individual body parts, and, of course, the manner of dress.
BTW, this also can be used to explain why fetishes are less common among women: women simply aren't subjected to the same sort of 24/7 propaganda and brainwashing intended to make them see anything male or associated with maleness as an embodiment of female sexual ecstacy. (How many TV ads do you see trying to sell cars to women by showing them with a hott! and available looking hunk?)
