Have been tight lacing for only two weeks, but have discovered already that the little plastic bones in cheap corsets like those available from Fredericks and the like just don't hold up. I have in this short time period, developed an "innie" where I used to be an "outie." LOL I just broke down and bought a leather corset from Alter-Ego (LEATHER UNDERBUST CORSET Steel Boned Waist Cincher) on e-Bay. Because I am so new to this, I don't want to lay out big bucks, only to find that I decide six months from now that it just isn't for me. My girlfriend (and, yes, I'm hetero) thinks I look sexier already, just having a defined waist. We talked about getting a corset specifically designed for the male figure, but decided the cost didn't justify the gain, unless we both decide it is a permanent thing. Besides, we both like me to dress in ladies things on most weekends. ;) Wed, 04 Feb 2009 01:32:18 GMT http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#7a7f4871-2dc4-4cbd-93fb-db5f66e1f283 David/Lizzie 2009-02-04T01:32:18Z http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#fec8fe11-7c62-4fdb-a829-f74d7ebeaa4d I make them as well. http://www.kathleencrowley.com Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:43:51 GMT http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#fec8fe11-7c62-4fdb-a829-f74d7ebeaa4d Kathleen 2009-01-07T07:43:51Z http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#314e0342-3c5f-4a98-8273-e9a125c8e4f8 also in SF Romantasy & Sheri Jurneka also make men's corsets Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:18:46 GMT http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#314e0342-3c5f-4a98-8273-e9a125c8e4f8 Qatana 2008-12-02T20:18:46Z http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#901ed0b2-fb00-4473-901c-6e2603504ea7 Dark Garden makes corsets for masculine and androgyny. http://www.darkgarden.net/ Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:14:06 GMT http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#901ed0b2-fb00-4473-901c-6e2603504ea7 Shay 2008-12-02T20:14:06Z http://corsets.tribe.net/thread/ec98c736-c3ea-4bee-9305-7cd6b8f57c4f#0e2fe2d2-62f8-4317-a5b0-261b51a3d6a2 Not sure exactly what you are questioning...but can tell you that men have worn them for ages and was part of many a proper gentlemens fine wear, especially among the higher social class. Today they are just plan out and out sexy. (my best friend is sporting one in my friends only photo's) He is very masculine, and he has no problem whatsever with the androgynous take. Attitude truly is everything. But, Serious lacers are drawn to the, well.. "snuggness" and not the "snobbishness" The look of a well defined silhouette is attractive on both men and women alike. A corset will do the trick.
