Valentine’s Day is an excellent opportunity to gauge how much taste your significant other has, especially if he buys you lingerie. Because, while he may say that it’s a gift for you, it’s really a gift for himself. And it’s a bad sign if he’s choosing to buy a camo ensemble with the sides cut out. For more getups that are certainly NOT on your wish list, keep reading…
This lace teddy ($39) is sort of like a vest attached to a thong. [Frederick’s of Hollywood]
Of course you’ll be excited to learn that this micro fiber dress ($50.95) comes with a matching thong! [Pampered Passions]
Tara Reid’s next red carpet ensemble ($33.99). [The Red Door Store]
Doesn’t the model in this corset chemise ($224.95) look like stylist Rachel Zoe? [Pampered Passions]
The camo on this dress ($24.99) would not help a girl blend in anywhere. [The Red Door Store]

Maybe the guys who give this sort of thing should also spring for a matching long blonde wig?

Won’t most guys vote for seeing their girl naked over tacky lingerie?

Forget the tacky trailer park lingerie, if my man EVER buys me a black choker like the one in exactly half of those shots, he can take that valentine’s fantasy to a hotel for the night.

@Syphrite: I can’t speak on behalf of all men, but as much as I love seeing a woman naked, the sexual tension of lingerie can be just as hot. Though I’d just laugh if a girl walked into the bedroom wearing that alligator microfiber number. It looks like an angry praying mantis.
I gotta say, though—I like the third one. The lingerie, that is.

Isn’t a key point of lingerie “ease of disrobing”? The straps on these look like they’d require a crowbar to pry them off.

@VictoriaLucas: I say let the guy tear them off, Hulk-style. Nothing can withstand the brute strength of horniness.

If I squint my eyes at the third one down I can see Darth Vader.

All of these outfits make me think that after the activity, payment will be required.

Well…you’ve probably already ‘paid’ if you’ve taken her out to dinner, wooed her with gifts/chocolates/flowers, etc. So no worries.

Well, as a man I hear women saying at times, “too slutty”, or “that’s what a hooker would wear.” Of course, the slutty girl and the hooker have the same goal, to attract and arouse men. On the flip side, lingerie should make a woman feel sexy, and I am sure that being comfortable in what you are wearing plays a big part. Part of lingerie’s appeal is pushing the envelope just a little bit, which is why it is hilarious to hear you all saying what you are saying here. Being comfortable in a relationship to get a little freaky is always nice, but that ramp-up has to be slow, don’t ya think?

You got it right Killamajig- definitely a slow ramp-up. A friend of mine was presented with slutty lingerie by a guy she was dating for only a few weeks. She was totally turned off by his “gift”. I would say that one backfired.

I kind of don’t mind the fourth one. I probably wouldn’t wear it, but it’s not that bad.
The rest of them… yeesh.

Lingerie like that always makes me feel bad about myself. Are there actually women with all of their real parts who can wear that stuff????
