A time of sleek silhouettes, and that fantastic figure-of-eight figure.

Fine for the men, but for the woman it meant waist-crunching whalebone girdles!

And bras that were 'engineered' to force their flesh into objects of fantasy!

But, as one woman recalls, 'we were safer in those horrible panty-girdles.

I was quite relaxed when a boyfriend put his hand under my skirt.

Wrestling with my 'bullet-proof' corset would take him hours!

And I had no fears when he put his hand under my sweater either, he could cares my bra for hours without touching flesh. Bras in those days covered the whole breast and more.'

But it was so exciting! Answer the men.

'I remember distinctly the first time I touched the top of a stocking, got my first glimpse of a suspender!'

'Yes, it was an effort but incredibly thrilling as each layer of clothing revealed more intimate exciting garments!'

'And what a glorious shape they gave us to stare at, to caress. In the days when penetrative-sex was rare - a man could spend hours fumbling with girdles and garters and stockings-tops!'

Sometimes the clothing was more exciting and erotic than what they covered!

What man hasn't drooled over a pretty bra or a sleekly smooth girdle?

'I wore a silvery-white step-in full-corset made of shimmering smooth satin on my honeymoon!' says Ilene.

'In those days men were excited by the sight of a woman's underwear, especially her corset or her girdle - so I wore a fantastic corset under my night-gown on my wedding night. It might surprise many people to know that my husband never even saw me naked for the first few years of my marriage. And by the time he did - he was wearing a girdle and bra himself!'

Older women always understood the value of smooth undergarments (same as smooth youthful skin) and corsets that gave a youthful shape.

'If you intend feminising your man,' says jenny, 'first get him to associate silky-smooth restraining garments such as tight-girdles and cone-shaped bras, with sex. His first 'oral-obedience' sessions should take place with the woman wearing satin fifties-style corsetry!'

'My man kneels at my feet, as I stand legs-astride in my best high-waist open-bottom satin girdle.

He kisses my garters first. Then my thighs, and then nuzzles his face into the shiny satin panels of my girdle...'
