Full page (gross) Ann Summers adverts

I think they’re grim too, OP.

Post on site stuff

I had vaping ads and MN have sorted them for me

I’m in full agreement that the AS adverts shouldn’t be popping up and I do get what you mean about being stood in a queue with someone gawping over your shoulder thinking you’re googling gimp masks!

but, stop calling it tacky and tasteless and the belittling language surrounding AS because many women do enjoy buying and wearing it and funnily enough it’s not always because a bloke has asked for it. It’s like on the sex boards when posters are making out that women who enjoy different sexual things to them are ‘dirty’ and ‘gross’. They’re not.

but yeah, MN stop them popping up on threads about starving children in Gaza, it’s not necessary.

It is as if they are trying to attract members or something 🤔

I don’t buy it personally but clearly there is a market for it

I remember the sex toy ads and the threads from the sex topic showing on the homepage. MN seems obsessed with pushing the boundaries when it comes to exposing visitors to sexual topics.

Maybe 30 years ago I'd try some of their stuff, but now, meh, it'd be mutton dressed as lamb.

I can't say I object to it lots of different tastes on here for some it may be just what they're after.

You sound confused. Buying sexy undies isn't how I became a mum.

😂 But surely you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a man’s arse and a woman’s arse?

Don't wear sexy underwear so no man will want to have sex with you. And so you can't be come pregnant?
You have obviously discovered a new form of contraception.

FWIW I’ve not been getting them! So maybe it’s something about your profile? Even though I have browsed M&S and Bravissimo etc and I do wear underwear!

There’s a branch of Ann Summers just opposite the entrance to a market near where we live, where I used to get hot chocolate with my then seven year old after he’d just changed schools. The window display used to fascinate him. He was too young to grasp that a big poster of five women of different body types and ethnicities in pants and bras with their hair blowing back was supposed to be ‘sexy”, he just thought they looked ‘as if they didn’t feel well’. He had a point — if you remove the knowledge that those expressions are supposed to code as ‘sexy come hither’ faces, they look constipated, as if they’re feeling a big emotion but aren’t sure what is is, or as if they might have left the oven on.

It’s more the fake tan, gaffer tape and flammable materials I’d imagine 😳

Even mums do buy sexy undies from time to time… it’s how we become mums. But maybe it’s not really mainstream enough for the site.

Feeling sexy , being attractive to men and having self respect are not mutually exclusive

No one is preventing you from doing so. But if ‘feeling sexy for yourself’ involves nylon pants and an expression that suggest constipation, maybe think about why that might constitute ‘sexy for yourself’?

I fail to see what is sexy about Anne Summers underwear.
All it does is make the wearer look ridiculous and desperate.

I thought it would be worse from your description! The butt one is a bit offensive. I’ve browsed normal M&S undies before and then got a lot of other bra firms in my feed but never worried about other people seeing that. Mainly because other people are not really looking at my feed at all! But, yes, it could be a bit awkward! Agree about itchy, uncomfortable etc.

So we are not allowed to dress sexy to turn men on. Or feel sexy for ourselves

It’s not the bodies, it’s the fact they’re trussed up in underwear designed to be titillating to a putative male gaze. I mean, no woman dresses up in a sexy French maid costume to go to the office or meet her friends.
