I have to show this to you. It has me salivating in the brain. I'm obsessed. It's a thong from an outfit called lingerie au lys (http://lingerie-au-lys.fr/index.php?contenu=bijoux) and it's called "L'Ouverture". Erotic and seductive as hell, isn't it? But I also think it's an article of tremendous symbolic and semiotic importance, maybe one of the most important articles of erotic fashion since the brassiere.

Take a moment to just study and appreciate it and then meet me below for a little ranting and raving...



Now... There are several reasons I'm so taken with this elegant little devil of a device. First of all, look at what it does: it's a dam, that's all. Just a little ring of metal (I assume it's metal.) No clips or clamps or inserts or tape or stickum. It merely holds back the flesh that normally protects the clitoris and allows the little Queen of Soul to emerge from her usual hiding place. We see her in all her splendor, exalted. For a device to accomplish that alone is worth the price of admission, but to accomplish it with the elegance and delicacy and sheer simplicity of L'Ouverture is something bordering on genital genius. Throw in the fact that it just makes the clit look so stunningly good, like a pearl in a setting, and you've got a true aesthetic masterpiece. You rarely ever find good taste mixed up with the world of hot sex but you have it here. L'Ouverture is just simply beautiful and it makes the clit beautiful too.

Secondly and more important, L'Ouverture brings the clitoris right into the game at last. Oh, of course she's always been there, but with this little thing, she's now definitely a fully credentialed player that even oafs like me and my other man friends can see and not someone hanging back on the sexual sidelines who we only hear rumors of - "She says she likes it when you do this. She says she doesn't like it when you do that..." This is a statement of arrival. It's (and I apologize for the expression) "ballsy" and (and I don't apologize for this one) "in your face". I'm a clit. I'm here. Deal with it.

And then, what would wearing L'Ouverture do to the wearer's perception of the world in general and sex in particular? Well, not having a clit myself, I could only guess, but I'd have to imagine it would make you a lot more sensitive, a lot more "out there", a lot more aware. It would be like having a little antennae down there, unshielded and ready to receive any sort of stray vibrations that might waft your way. You'd be constantly semi-aroused. It would be almost, in a way, like having a penis! Hey!

And that's the last point, because looking at this photo, I couldn't help but think of the old biological truth that the head of the penis and the clitoris are morphologically similar; they arise from the same kind of tissue as they develop. Seen in this way and using L'Ouverture and a little imagination, a woman can almost be seen as a hermaphrodite, equipped with both a pussy and a little dick, and isn't that an interesting picture!

I don't know about you, but I find that as erotic as hell and quite a new way of looking at things. And all due to this little circle of brass.

I won't even get into the poetics of the thing. I looked at the picture for a long time before I noticed that the hand on her thigh was a man's. (It's French, and as I recall, French men wear their wedding rings on their left hands?) No doubt he's admiring her. I know I would be. She's gorgeous (and probably embarrassewd as hell, as I would be too if someone sat around staing at my dick with a dreamy look on their face.)

I started thinking about the clitoris as metaphor for woman's sexuality - the "hidden nature" aspect of it, the way their sexuality, like the clitoris, traditionally "needed" to be exposed, which gives rise to all those reluctance and non-consent fantasies, whereas the man's always walking around with this pole stifcking out in front of him... Would you find those kinds of reluctance & non-consent fantasies among women who were L'Ouverture wearers?

By the way, I've already written a story using it. I expect that soon we'll be seeing this thing popping up all over. The erotic possibilities are staggering.

Um...ow. Just a female pov there. I mean...I'm trying to think of how it stays where it stays and...ow. Someone better warm it up before...er...setting it in place...and what are the edges like? Is there a string down below as well? Exactly how does it work....?

And as excited as I'm sure it makes you, I'm just too hetero. Ain't doing a thing for me...though I'm sure the ladies who love ladies will be adding their approval to yours very soon.

If you've got an equilivant picture of a guy with a cool cockring, I'd be willing to wax poetic from the opposite side. For now...

Ow.
 
That is fantastically gorgeous! The design is pure Belle Epoque, only ever so much more so. Beardsley would be proud-- or, maybe, choke on his tongue...

The rest of the Bijoux are mind-bogglingly wonderful as well.
 
it is pretty. And the photo is stunning as well. I wear my rin gon my left hand, as does my "American" husband. I didn't know that anyone wore theirs on their right??? Sorry for the new topic....it baffled me.

That said, I want to flick it with my tongue

I'm on Zade's team...she'll wear it, I'll lick it *nods*

Ow.

Agreed.

Looks cool, but no way in hell I'd wear it, I have expectations of extreme discomfort.

No thank you.

I'd give it a go! Discomfort isn't always a bad thing :devil:

This intrigued me.
I think I'm going to have to start another thread.

(Just for Dar. ;) )

I bet its like the nw rings they are coming out with...comfort fit. the edges are softened and with most thin metals it warms quickly...I do wonder how it does under moisture...Zade, get over here:devil:

What rings? :confused:

But you wouldn't mind seeing the wife wearing it, would you? ;) Admit it.

And after looking at some other examples (namely the seashell), I think I have an idea of how it's kept in place. Dildo combined with buttfloss. How...comfy :p

Wedding bands and the like. I recently got one and it's really smooth. NO rough edge.
3113...I will research the methodology, but even if it is awkward, if the person I was with thought it was hot...hell yeah I'd give it a go.

for about a half a minute, you sissy :p
If God had wanted clits to come out into the cold She'd have made them penises. They've got snug, warm cosy nests for a reason. Ditto if She hadn't wanted men to have to go on treasure searches for them. It's what keeps the guys interested...every night they forget exactly where it is and need to go looking for it all over again ;)

And they get such a thrill when they find it and see that it's still there :cool:

And what do you do with the wedding band again? :confused:

Wear it on my left hand.
All I was saying is that I bet the edges of the BiJoux are similar in style to the rings..Smoothed off for comfort.;) sorry for the lack of clarity:kiss:

Not sure I would, actually....*pondering*....and I know sure as hell she wouldn't wear it. ;)

Yeah, that sounds reeeaaalllll comfortable.
