Hot Monogamy by Dr. Patricia Love & Jo Robinson

The Sharper Image, a company that specializes in electronic and high tech gadgets, recently test-marketed two items of lingerie: a black lace hose and garter combination and a black lace body stocking. The two items alone added $1.5 million in "male" order sales. This sales figure isn't surprising.

In one survey a thousand men were asked what turned them on most: dirty talk, x-rated videos, porn, female masturbation, sexy lingerie, or "other". Of the men surveyed, 92 percent said they were most turned on by sexy lingerie. In an interesting footnote, 73 percent of these men said they relied on stimulation such as this to sustain their interest in a long-term relationship. In essence, a man who asks his partner to wear a lace teddy to bed may be saying to her, "Please help me be monogamous."
