In the 1970s, a new female writer published a collection of poems dedicated to her grandmother, entitled The Poet Without a Bra. Avant-garde and bold enough? However, thirty years later, no one dared to publish the poetry collection "The Poet Without Underwear".
Jay Chou admitted not to wear underwear on the small S program unless there is a concert; Wei Hui once printed his photos and a novel on white men's underwear; Sharon; The female killer played by Si Tong instinctively crossed her legs, and the prosecutor opposite her was full of longing for love. She's not wearing underwear.
My lover hasn't understood all the softness of my body and can't accept all its fragrance, but underwear has done it silently. Therefore, perhaps underwear is more intimate and indispensable than lovers, and it is the gentlest and most cruel last line of defense.
Russian czar Peter the Great visited Paris in 17 17 and rode through the cheering streets. A woman accidentally fell down in front of his mount, and suddenly the spring was blooming. The beauty was embarrassed, but the tsar just wrote in his memoirs with a playful mood: the door of heaven suddenly opened in front of me.
This autumn is an obvious proof that in the18th century, Paris, the most fashionable city in the world, women don't wear underwear. In fact, the whole western world was like this at that time. The underwear that we spend a moment together day and night, the original history is so short.
Archaeologists found fragments of animal skin wrapped around belts 7000 years ago. Men in ancient Greece wrapped their belts in linen. We have also seen thick cloth wrapped around the waist of African wild tribes in movies or TV, but it exists as trousers, which is the working clothes for working people to prevent lower body injuries, equivalent to jeans. Therefore, some historians suspect that in ancient Greece, only slaves used belts, and there was nothing under the robes of freemen, regardless of gender. Nudity is obviously a right.
This right has been extended. The history of underwear written by the western sociologist Willer said: Until the late18th century, there were only some blouses, tight underwear and very important and various petticoats. Obviously, there is no underwear here. Occasionally, you can see such a scene when you see costume pornography. The heroine untied the tired and overlapping long skirts and piled them into a skirt hill, instantly naked.
There was no concept of underwear in medieval Europe. Underwear is just to keep warm, separating the coat from the body that never takes a shower, so you don't have to wash the coat often. Underwear worn by women is a petticoat added layer by layer according to the need of keeping warm.
Some authors analyzed in "History from the Bottom: The Rise of Women's Underwear and Women's Sports" that fungal infection and crabs may be part of the reasons for women's empty legs. Before the 20th century, women could not wear shorts, because vaginitis always threatened the warmth and humidity of their vagina. When it was covered with anything, it would lead to an increase in temperature, so that fungi could grow better and cause infection. They also pointed out that due to the lack of bathing habits in Europe at that time, we now bathe and change clothes as usual every day. At that time, even ladies and gentlemen could not do it. Then, a piece of unwashed cloth in private parts is indeed more unsanitary than wearing nothing.
This explanation can't explain everything, but it should be reasonable. Because East Asian women in hotter areas have much higher bathing frequency, they wear long underwear under their skirts, which some people call boudoir. Boudoir was introduced to Europe during the Renaissance, and then it was gradually transformed into a corset, which was ankle-long, and tied tightly around the waist and legs with straps to form lanterns. This corset was mainly regarded as an oriental sentiment at that time.
Underwear, like other fashions, started with prostitutes, actors or other women in the porn industry. 1727, a ballet dancer is performing on the stage, and her long skirt is hooked on the stage scenery. She ran away helplessly, causing laughter. Not to mention the Kangkang dancers who sell thighs. They kick their thighs as high as possible on the stage and throw their skirts over their heads. Of course, their lower parts are inseparable. Paris therefore passed a public security regulation: actresses or dancers are not allowed to perform on stage without tights. Pants have therefore become a fashionable dress, which is deeply loved by fashionable women.
By the middle of19th century, feminists began to call on women to go out of boudoir and participate more in social activities and work. To work, lightness is the first factor, and wearing long skirts for thousands of years is extremely unfavorable to action. So feminists suggested that women should wear knee-length skirts and a pair of loose pants, long and naked. This kind of trousers is called trousers, jumpsuit, and has since become a general term for home pants, casual pants and autumn pants underwear.

The Relationship between Underwear and Women (Ⅱ)
The evolution of human civilization often comes from some very small things, just like a butterfly flapping its wings will lead to a snowstorm. 1876, Sir Henry Wickham, a British botanist, persuaded the Brazilian government to allow him to bring rubber seeds back to China, pretending that they would be sent to the royal garden as rare plants, but actually shipped them to Malaysia. The sudden rapid development of rubber plantations in Britain broke Brazil's control over the rubber industry and accelerated the production of cheap rubber bands. By 1900, the bra has been sewn with elastic bands, completely getting rid of the troubles of being heavy, polluted, knotted or falling into the toilet. The word underwear has also entered the dictionary historically.
It is also a trivial matter to completely end the emptiness of women, that is, the rise of bicycle fever. Readers who have seen Gone with the Wind should know that in the past, ladies rode bicycles with their legs side by side in the saddle, but it was impossible for anyone to ride a bicycle in this position. It's dangerous to ride a bike in a long skirt. The skirt may screw into the wheel. Therefore, women have only one choice: wear pants.
1896165438+1October 15 The New York Daily wrote: When cycling became fashionable, female college students in Paris also adopted this sport. At the same time, The New York Sun also noticed that the knickerbockers worn by Paris women when riding bicycles are also very popular in other public places: they like this casual dress very much and it is very convenient to wear. In the past and present, Paris led a generation of ethos, and gradually, women all over the world began to follow suit. Women finally have the same rights as men, that is, pants and underwear can be worn under them.
George sand,/kloc-a French woman writer in the 0/9th century, drank hard liquor and rode fast horses. She was bohemian and showed herself in men's clothes all her life. Once she came to a church in the French countryside, and the old doorman refused to let her in. She couldn't help saying, sir, women are not allowed here. Her strange clothes confused the old man, knowing that she was a lady in front of him, or subconsciously calling her Mr.
George sand, who struggled for women's right to wear pants all her life, probably didn't expect that her dream of regretting her life would come true.
To sum up, it is easy to draw a conclusion: first, science changes life; Second, exercise affects life. However, some fashion critics believe that underwear is introduced because women have more control over their own lives, which is why they finally introduce another kind of sexual defense. Underwear can be put on and taken off, just like a woman controls her body and mind. The history of a woman is the history of constantly carving and decorating her body.
Is underwear a part of sex?
I once knew a story about a man and a woman who were in love. At the critical moment, the man stopped, because the woman wore a pair of yellow underwear with holes, which fully showed her true colors as a hardworking and simple professional woman, but it had nothing to do with sex and sexy.
Another angle: you must enter adolescence to need a bra; Only when you are fully grown up will you wear high heels and need stockings. Therefore, all these articles have stronger sexual symbolism and constitute our third sexual characteristic. Underwear is different. From the moment we got rid of open-backed pants, we got involved with it.
This probably determines that underwear is not at the forefront of fashion like bras or stockings. It's an ambiguous seduction, but it can be hidden. It's Depth Charge in love. Underwear, more like a taxi beside handsome, silent and low eyebrows, is the last line of defense. Putting on and taking off is not a temptation, but a decision to stick to a word.
Everyone has the simplest underwear: pure cotton, triangle, square and straight angle, which keeps the most primitive and simple function of underwear: keeping it clean and hygienic, and facilitating the use of sanitary napkins during physiological period. Most women will use this kind before puberty or after menopause. Three pieces in the supermarket cost ten yuan. In fact, at any time, as long as you are disheartened or complacent and give up the pursuit of men and women, this kind of underwear will always be the most comfortable.
However, if the fire of lust has not completely subsided from me, your choice will be different.
For example, you will choose body-shaping underwear, among which the essential pants are hip lift and abdomen tuck. It is said that its function is to tighten the fat in the buttocks and waist, and guide the fat in the waist and abdomen to transfer to the buttocks, thus shaping a beautiful waist-shaped buttocks. In TV commercials, there are many such long tights, and the models smile freely. It's really hard to love with it, which reminds people of the famous saying: women should be cruel to themselves. If a woman is not cruel to herself, a man will be cruel to you. Where are you going? Can underwear be a big responsibility?
Then there is the famous sexy underwear. The last step to seduce a man face to face is probably nothing more than taking off his underwear with one hand and screaming with the other (I don't know how this sound comes from and how the hearing effect is). Who can't help but set himself on fire at the moment when his hands are raised and his underwear flies into the crystal cup? Gorgeous lace, roses from Leng Yan, Stern's leather coat and black metal tempt you to take off your underwear.
It must be that the thong simplifies the Sanqiu tree, but it makes the body form the biggest temptation. It's March, Lolita in underwear, the purest devil and the most evil angel. Those who love it will never stop; Annoying people will definitely stay away.
At first, it was just to let the model wear tights on the stage without revealing the traces of the edges of underwear. And this completely unadorned but round hip shape is indeed more emotional than the hip shape that is strictly guarded against death.
It went from the runway to the general public because in April 2003, Triumph, a famous underwear brand, posted huge posters in more than 0/00 cities in Britain/Kloc: against the background of blue sky and green land, four hot women only exposed the back of four-color thong. They stood on tiptoe, accompanied by straw hats, high heels and a brisk slogan: summer is coming for thongs. This advertisement attracted complaints from the most shameless advertisement in history. Of course, this is the old yellow calendar, and now there are many advertisements that exaggerate tens of thousands of times.
This advertisement probably clearly explains the meaning of underwear to women: there is infinite spring inside, the world of flowers outside, and underwear is a curtain separating the two. It's apricots, so I can't get out of the wall. Help yourself.
