    or practical for that matter.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      For the fellas....many of the ladies complain about the unsexy nature of garments.

      When you boil it all down to the bottom line, do you really care if your wife is wearing garments? Has it ever prevented you from finding your wife attractive? From a male point of view, I don't think guys care too much when...uh...push comes to shove...

        In my experience, however, it isn't an "ok, it's time to have sex" kind of event. It just happens when the mood strikes.

        Then again, if the woman is wearing grandma's body armor, maybe planning ahead and powering through it would be the way to go, as the mood is much less likely to strike.

          As a married man, I think they're more of a deal-breaker for me.

            This is kind of funny. In all honesty (despite my comment above), garments don't prevent me from finding my wife sexy. However...

            Before I was married, I could never find a woman sexy or even attractive if I knew she wore garments. Even now, I can't feel an attraction toward any female other than my wife who I know wears garments.

            Maybe the real purpose of garments is just to discourage us from being attracted to people we're not married to.

              OK... I've got to chime in.

              First - I've been married for 26 years, and have produced 5 kids. I can't recall a single occasion where we did it with garments on. I don't know what handbook you guys are reading, but its OK to take them off.

              Secondly - If you need help with the arousal factor, you're doing it too much. Take a day or two off, and you'll be able to chisel granite.

              I feel privileged to wear garments, and to have taken covenants that I keep. Plus, since wearing them, I haven't been abducted in the night, like the recommended question alludes too.

                You must not have children.
                What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                  Speak from your own male point of view. I definitely care and prefer garments to not make an appearance.

                    I buy new garments every 7 years. Yes, there I said it. I've purchased garments twice since getting home from my mission. Once when I got home and once about 7 years later. I'm now coming up on the next 7 year mark and my garments are holding stong.

                    I'll agree that they are poorly made, but the poorly made part for me is in the way the seams are sewn. The large seams made them a bit uncomfortable, but I've never had the seams come apart.

                    I even have a couple pair that I wore during my mission. These are thread bare, but I wear them when I know I'm going to sweat like a pig (mowing the lawn, yard work, EQ moving service activity, etc.).

                    All in all, garments are cheap for those that make them last.
                    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      I concur.

                        I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

                          Yes--how do you do it once your kids no longer have bedtimes?

                            are they a visual cold metal spoon? I have heard this many times so I don't discount it. Just hasn't really been an issue for me.

                              I have a few years to go until this time, but I will look for a house with a Main Floor Master Suite...

                              Also my wife refers to the one-piece garments as 'crotchless'. She loved to wear them when pregnant but MAN those things were difficult to remove.

                              I can only imagine how tough corset removal would have been...

                                OK, I have a complaint that hasn't been made yet. How long does it take to ship the things? I placed an order for new underwear one month ago tomorrow, and I am still wearing my old, work out underwear.

                                I demand satisfaction.

                                If they aren't here in another week, I am going to make a trip to Target and will just fashion my own. Unlike EJ or CMBF, I cannot deal with worn out, frayed, see-through, or otherwise nasty underwear.
