What drives that guilt?? Probably the same thing that drives the urge to wear the lingerie in the first place.? The first time is pretty exciting, but so very <i>wrong! <\/i>So you avoid it for a while until the temptation becomes too great and then BANG!? You\u2019re wearing panties again.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t understand why you are compelled to do it over and over again, but the feeling is divine.? Sound familiar?? You\u2019re not alone.? This is pretty much what we all go through at the beginning of our cycle of guilt.? Eventually you come to an uneasy truce with your conscience regarding your lingerie wearing ways.? Like a smoker that can \u2018give up any time\u2019 after a 30 year habit, you tell yourself you\u2019re not really addicted.<\/p>\n<p>You decide to just let yourself go for a while.? Just wear the odd pair that you find appealing.? Then you\u2019re out shopping ? sweating bullets while you peruse the aisles in search of the perfect panty.? Wide crotch, no centre seam, stretch both ways.? You spy something that looks great and is possibly in your size and go for it. ?Nonchalantly strutting around the lingerie section, you\u2019re gaining confidence now.? Might as well take advantage of the situation eh?? No point buying one pair.? May as well go hard and be embarrassed once instead of having to come back next week!<\/p>\n<p>But you don\u2019t have much cash and cash is King right?? Can\u2019t have the wife finding out you\u2019re buying lingerie and not giving it to her!? If only she was the same size.? Ugh!? Oh well, this will have to do.? You slide over to the checkout with your head held high.? You don\u2019t give a damn what the lady there thinks.? Even though you think she knows you\u2019re buying for yourself.? Just tell her your wife is \u2018about the same size as you\u2019.? Bet she\u2019s never heard that one before.<\/p>\n<p>She tells you to \u2018have a nice day\u2019 which is cute because you know you\u2019re going to have an effing AWESOME day as soon as you get home.? But you just smile and say \u2018thanks, you too\u2019 and try not to run out of the store.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s done now.? You have the lingerie in the bag and you\u2019re out the door.? You wish you could just teleport yourself home and try these suckers on right?? But you can\u2019t so you resign yourself to getting in the car, and opening up the parcel, ripping off the paper and feeling the fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Goddam, it\u2019s like being high!? Just the anticipation of getting home and trying on this lingerie is getting you worked up!? And you get home. You try them on.? They\u2019re perfect.? You love it.<\/p>\n<p>Then the guilt sets in.<\/p>\n<p>You place the lingerie in the box under the spanner set in the back shed where <i>no one else ever goes.<\/i> You realise just how much of a collection you have and begin to question whether you really can give up as easily as you thought. ?Wow, it\u2019s quite a collection.? You can recall every purchase from every store.? Out of town shopping trips.? That time you were away on business and went <i>crazy<\/i> in the lingerie section.? Blew more money on panties than food and accommodation!? Man that was fun. ?But give it all up? Of course you can!? Throw them out.? Who needs lingerie?? What the hell have you been doing spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on women\u2019s underwear!<\/p>\n<p>Garbage bag.? Big one.? Lingerie in, then out in the garbage.? Phew! Thank God that\u2019s over.? It was getting out of hand and it was time to purge.? Just boy undies for me from now on.? Woo hoo, I\u2019m gonna man up and stick to boxers. To hell with the frilly stuff, I\u2019M BAAACK and I\u2019m gonna be just like everybody else!!!<\/p>\n<p>One week later<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re out shopping at the mall.? A hot pink, white lace, black highlight color combination catches your eye.? You walk into the lingerie store \u2018just to look\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>You spend $200 on new lingerie.? You can\u2019t wait to get it home.?
