I just watched a video on the internet about how to wear garter belts. One of the reasons for women to wear garter belts the woman in the video said was to spice up the sex life. It is interesting to note that a once necessary part of a woman's apparel is now a way to spice up the sex life. Can you imagine a time when women had to wear garter belts to hold up their stockings and not think of them as a way to enhance sex?
Now stockings are something you might see in a museum. They have been replaced with panty hose. Can you imagine a less piece of sexy garment than panty hose. Truly they were made for convenience and not sex appeal. The women of this world wanted to be able to get dressed faster for work and they got their wish in panty hose.
But let us say this right off. Long before videos about garter belts online women have stopped dressing with the idea of sex appeal in mind. The garter is novelty item today. Oh sure you can see them in magazine lingerie ads. But only as part of a sex costume women would don only one night a year... If then; on the husband or boyfriend's birthday night... If he is lucky. Then is it back into the drawer until next year. Women let's face it do not even wear dresses.
If you are too young to remember this but women actually wore dresses to work, to the super market and even to school. I remember when I was in elementary school and junior high school teachers would wear dresses. Now some of my female teachers I wished would have worn pant suits all the time but let me tell you there were a few teachers who made going to class a real treat just to see the dress they would be wearing and how high above the knee it was cut.
Today however you can go to the ball game, the post office, or the market and all you see is women in slacks, pant suits, or blue jeans... No dresses to be seen. Why is this? Why no dresses let alone garter belts? The most obvious answer is convenience.
And for any of you Brits out there when I say pants I am referring to trousers and not underwear. So yes it is a lot easier for women to wear slacks than a dress. You do not have to be a woman to know that. It is easier to put on slacks, easier to wash and iron them. And I suppose it is easier to sit down and do daily chores wearing pants than a dress.
But it is also the result of the women's lib movement back in the 1970's when women were burning their bras and demanding equality with men. You may have seen these film clips of women protesting on the college campuses around burning trash cans.
But take a look at some of that historic footage and you will notice that all these women wore dresses as they flung their bras into the fire. And short dresses at that. But the camera did not pick them up burning their dresses and garter belts. The fire burned the everyday sexy dress mentality and has left us with the charred remains of the blue jeans, pant suits, and slacks.
