The Role of Clothes in Foreplay

Most Occidental clothes tend to be uncomfortable. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule but generally clothes nowadays seem to divide our body into its parts. They are not healthy and not even practical for making love.

Because looking for unbuttoning or unzipping the clothes when you're about to start an erotic game kills the spontaneity and the savoir of the act. So try to wear only light clothes, large and comfortable.

Many of the so-called erotic clothes that you can find on the market are synthetically. Those articles are mostly for fetishists and they are very expensive. Fortunately it is pretty easy to create your "personal note", as far as clothes are concerned, by using natural silk or satin.

They don't even need to be ironed. You can also find very easily Oriental pieces of clothes like mantles, kimonos, Indian pyjamas and shawls.

Usually the man tends to get dressed with whatever he has best when he goes to parties or to the theatre. It's a good thing and you can't blame him. But when you are alone with your lover you have to take care what you wear as much as you did it when you go into society.

The text then advises the woman to keep her best clothes for her husband and the other way around. Each woman who wants to please her lover and to arouse him should posses a line of intimate clothes to wear only when she meets him and some other when going into society.

In the Occident a thin belt usually separates the superior and inferior parts of the body. There are two inconveniences about this: it is uncomfortable and unhealthy because it breaks the free flow of energy through the body. So try to be very careful with your body, especially if you've chosen the Yogi way of life.

Light ornaments are attractive, simple and easy to get. Tight trousers lead to distracting the normal energy flow and thus can create real sexual problems. Oriental doctors put in evidence this problem and they consider it one of the main problems that lead to impotence and sterility and even certain forms of cancer that affect the inferior part of the body.

Human's subtle power centres (chakra-s) will be disrupted in their functioning by clothes that are too tight. The subtle energy generally will be stopped from flowing freely through the body. So try to change them into large, light clothes, made of natural fibres, when you get back from work. Your body will feel wonderful and free, you'll breathe easier and you'll be in a good mood.

Clothes should be clean and fresh. Certain perfumes can give your clothes a sensual aura. Feeling, smelling clothes can enhance the erotic atmosphere. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings and flowers have a deep symbolic meaning in the Tantric System.

They protect the humans psychically and also help them look more attractive. In Orient women use a lot of different jewellery in order to please their lovers and to make them proud of them. The Art of Loving recommends using anything that can stimulate and captivate the senses.

In the famous Arabic treaty on love, called "The Perfumed Garden", translated in English by Sir Richard Burton and published in 1886, there is a sexual position that requires certain clothes in order to keep the spontaneity of the erotic game:

The women in Medieval China used to adorn and decorate very nice the rooms designated to erotic games. They were made so that to reveal and, at the same time, to hide the shapes in order to stimulate men's imagination.

Two of the most provocative and wonderful pieces of clothes are, the large silk corset and bright coloured loosen stockings made from silk that give your skin a beautiful and exciting looks. Generally in Orient we can see a lot of simple, but stimulating clothes. They are easy to like and to wear.

Because clothes are so important nowadays they will be chosen and made so that to increase the charm of the wearer and not to limit his/her action possibilities.

The colours and the material are as important as the patters itself. They will be chosen in order to stimulate the senses. Clothes are thus a feature of personalities and they make us see them in a completely different light.
