My fiancé wants to buy me sexy
underwear for the wedding night, but I feel silly dressing
up. Do I go for it, or bag it?
There is an enormous amount of pressure on a couple to have
a great wedding night. To your fiancéé, sexy lingerie
may be insurance that he can become aroused. To you, it may
be a silly charade. The important thing is to talk it out
with your man. ”This is only the first night of many
together, so discuss the situation and evaluate what is best
for both of you,” advises Virginia A. Sadock, M.D., a
clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the Program
in Human Sexuality at NYU Medical Center.
If you’re open to the notion, go shopping together so
you can try on lingerie and see if you find something you
feel comfortable in.
It’s important to note that if this is your first time
making love, you should talk about how he envisions you dressing
for sex—and why. It’s better to know what he expects
with sex before you tie the knot.
However, if he just wants his bride to look sexy, and you
think wearing skimpy lingerie could be exciting, try it and
have some fun. You won’t be the first couple to have
discovered that a little spice can be nice.
