The Sexual Corset

Corsets are normally under garments that are worn to shape and mold the trunk of the female body into a desired shape for artistic, sexual or medical purposes. The term corset was derived from the French word corps, the diminutive of body. Corsets are a tight, cinching garment that covers the middle torso that pushes up and/or flatten the breasts, or to hug the waist into shape.

In Fashion the most common and well-known use of corsets is to slim the body and make it conform to a fashionable silhouette. This emphasizes a curvy figure, by reducing the waist, and thereby exaggerating the bust and hips.

Advantages of corsets taken from Wikipedia

There are several advantages to wearing a corset.

Health benefits

· Corsets promote good posture.

· Corsets can reduce pain and improve function for people with back problems or other muscular/skeletal disorders, such as Lordosis.

· Some large-breasted women find corsets more comfortable than brassieres, because the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset rather than the brassiere's shoulder straps. Straps can chafe or cut the skin. However, if a bra is properly fitted, the weight of the breasts is carried by the band and not by the shoulders, thus eliminating this problem for even women with very large breasts.

Personal, social and aesthetic advantages

· Corsets can make a woman appear thin.

· Corsets can give a straight masterful posture.

· The straight posture accentuates the bosom.

· Corsets can instantly reduce the waistline by 5-10cm (2-4").

· Corsets can spread the weight of big gowns.

· Some corset-wearers enjoy the feeling of being "hugged" by the corset.

· Due to their tightness and close proximity to the body, corsets can make the wearer feel very warm. They have historically been worn in cooler climates.

· Some corset-wearers believe the shallow breathing imposed by the garment may charm men.

Long-term advantages

· The abdominal pressure maintained by frequent corset use can help wearers reduce body fat by inhibiting the appetite without conscious dieting, slimming drugs, or cosmetic surgery.

· Training with corsets can reduce waistline by 18cm (7") or more. Caution is advised.
