Ok, I'm not talking about stained, ripped, or outright uggly underpants.

I'm talking about your fun ones, your cute ones, your plain but comfortable (but not ugly), or your silly ones. In any event, do you own underwear that you like, but that isn't sexy? If you have a partner, what do they think of them? Do you have any that if you are wearing under your clothes would kill or dampen the mood?

My partner prefers that I always (pretty much) wear sexy underwear. Not so much that I have to always be ready or that we're gonna be having sex every day, but he really doesn't care for any of my non-sexy underwear. White cotton of couse he's ok with, but lavender cotton, polka-dots, animited characters like Tigger, ect he's not a fan. I guess he really thinks of underwear as more of a sexy related thing than a clothing thing.

You?

How strongly is underwear linked to sex for you?

(oh and don't forget the questions at the top of the post)
 
most of my panties are cotton...different colors, but otherwised just plain ol' cotton bikinis.

I do, however, have some with "Supergirl" on them, pooh bear, etc. They're comfy, if a tad silly for me to be wearing at my age. My husband could care less, to be honest.

I think the supergirl ones might be kind of sexy.

Your hubby would never notice if you popped over to my place for a bit;) :devil:

pop something in the microwave (it turns off automatically)

or try a slowcooker (crockpot)- this could take a while...

It's gotta be something that another woman wouldn't laugh at.
 
The unsexiest underwear I've ever owned have been maternity underwear. The package says it all: "Fits hips 36-58"

I've tried dressing a little sexy in satin underwear, black lace, the whole works. But so far, none of my lovers have paid any attention to it. OK, one or two have asked for it, but once I wear it, they're no more turned on by it than they are by regular white cotton panties.

I've given up. I go for clean, plain cotton panties, the bikini model or the cover-the-lower-part-of-your-belly model. The only extravagances are those with colour: pink, blue, purple, navy, wine red...

Since my underwear are all very basic, none of them can really kill a mood - unless they're dirty or broken.
 
My opinions on women's underwear:

Overtly designed to be sexy doesn't work for me, nor does little girl cute such as cartoon characters.

Thongs and G-strings look uncomfortable.

Skimpy transparent nylon with laces look uncomfortable and embarrassing.

I am happy meeting functional and comfortable. If they are also shiny satin (on the outside) in a deep plain colour then I might take notice.

Far more important than the underwear is the person wearing it and what they are like as an individual.

I go through phases of caring about my underwear and phases of not caring. I have a fuck-buddy who has a thing about thongs, so I tend to wear nothing but when I'm with her. Recently, however, I've moved on to white girl boxers. They're very tight-fitting and somehow I feel sexier in them.

A little while back I bought a multipacket of three thongs from a very cheap clothes store. The one on the front looked promising - plain red with a picture of a devil (which melted on the first wash), but the second one said "Man-eater" and the third "I love men!" Somehow, I couldn't quite bring myself to wear them...
 
Well, my fun pairs are as follows:

1 pair with a turtle on the front
3 pairs of Supergirl underwear
1 pair that look denim with little sayings all over them (boyshorts)
1 orange and blue-striped pair that says "Touchdown!" on the butt
1 pair that looks like the sky
1 pair that says "Butterfly" across the front
1 pair that says "Kiss" across the front, in zebra stripes

What can I say? I'm a sucker for cute underwear. :)

I have lots of sexy underwear, as well, but I think my cute underwear is endearing. J. likes thongs, period. He thinks all other underwear are okay, but I think he'd prefer I wore thongs all the time.
 
Don't diss ugly underwear completely. Haven't you ever agreed to a date with someone you're attracted to, but know you'd be an idiot to succumb to? Business trips are a good example. The obligatory client dinner that feels like a date, but is impossible to turn down graciously.

Willpower is nice. But it doesn't hurt to bolster the ol' willpower by leaving stubble on your legs and wearing comfortable, unattractive underwear.

Later, in the bar at Trader Vic's, it won't matterr that your third Flaming Rum Volcano-Zombie has Mister Wrong looking like Mister Maybe-Just-This-Once. You'll inevitably need a visit to the ladies' room, where a glance at the sprung elastic on those comfortable panties will help put the brakes on your errant libido.

Worst case: you're sober and/or drunk enough to think, "I'll leave these here; I'll bet they're even flushable." Fortunately, you remembered to forget to shave your legs. A crop of leg stubble can act like emergency brakes.

I'm a fan of sexy lingerie. Still, there's a time and place for sexy undies, and for cute, basic undies. And really, your basic cotton bikini briefs can be pretty hot themselves.

Again, I don't understand this reasoning. Unshaven legs or unattractive underwear have NEVER entered my mind in a moment when sex was a possibility. Partly because I usually don't shave my legs, I let my sex partners accept my body the way it is, and trust me, no man I've ever been with has turned me down because I have hairy legs!
And as for the underwear, pft! They're supposed to be hitting the floor in nano-seconds, so who cares?

I don't need to fix myself up before having sex, I feel sexy anyway, and let's face it, you're gonna have to be DAMNED ugly and disgusting for a man to not find you sexy as hell when he's got your naked body under his.
 
My husband thinks my panties with holes in them are sexy. The underwear part of my clothes budget is pretty minor.
 
I'm with Ogg and RG here.
If the lady is sexy then she can be wearing a burlap bag wrapped around her hips and she'll still be sexy. If the woman is not sexy then the hottest underwear in the world won't help.

The last time I really noticed, on a, um, gut level, a woman's underwear:

I was walking back to Station 5 on State Street, so it has to be before 1993. I passed East Summer Street, which starts at State and goes down over the hillside to the river. A Girl, maybe 20, maybe only 17, hard to say, was walking down East Summer, away from me. She had nothing on from the waist down but little white sox, a pair of Vans, and panties with "Friday" written in script letters across the ass.

She saw me looking, since I'm sure there must have been some sort of dare or lost wager or something going on. She looked over her shoulder, waved at me, grinned, and stopped walking to give me a wiggle of her ass. She was 5'6", or say 167 cm tall, and maybe 140 lbs (64 kg.), so she was a tad zaftig. It was her good cheer about it that won me. I don't have the faintest idea why she was walking around in her panties, but it slammed me. It got me by the glands.

Plain cotton, a little high cut, but not really bikini, and with "Friday" on 'em. But it was her attitude that got me more than anything.

I had been married already for twenty years, by then. In our sex play, my wife and I were taking roles. Panties had to fit the role, not just be sexy by themselves. I think context is much more important.
