Very good points there.
No kidding. Girdles? {men and women} Push up bras, water bras. Umm...I don't know what guys use but......
As far as 'fashion' making us feel sexier...let's just say Maroon 5's video 'This Love'....sure made shopping for chonies more interesting for me.
I have never understood people who think they can't wear something. Fear? I don't know. I'll try anything on. BUT if I don't think it looks good I won't wear it. Pure and simple. Like NA said, not every look looks good on every body.
