Stockings with Lingerie???
Ok I know lingerie it self does not have a "real" purpose, but what is the purpose of stockings with lingerie? Do they slim your legs? Is there a historical signifigance? Or is it just the look of them? Just wondering...a couple of my new "outfits" have the garter straps for stockings. I am getting stockings for them but am just curious...

Heh, this makes me chuckle. Not many people know that full pantyhose are a relatively new invention, and garter belts were all you had until about 30-40 years ago.
My reason for garters and stocking is they don't create a muffin top the way some pantyhose do. Plus, they let my bits breathe nicely.
And yes, they look sexy as hell.
Right. So now their purpose is entirely visual. Men are visual creatures, as we all know.

I wear them when it's cold, so I'm warm enough not to need to be under the covers.
Under the covers sex limits the positions and I don't like it.
