Am I the only one who frees myself from the prison that is pants immediately as I get home from work after a long day? There\u2019s no better feeling, besides maybe <\/span>orgasming<\/span><\/a> or taking your heels off after a night of dancing. Founded in 2003, National Underwear Day is all about embracing body and getting comfortable in your own skin. Your body loves you, so love it back.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"national<\/p>\n

\u201cMy underwear is too sexy,\u201d said no one ever. Let\u2019s face it, life\u2019s too short to wear boring underwear. And it doesn\u2019t matter if nobody else is going to see them. There\u2019s something about wearing sexy underwear or <\/span>lingerie<\/span><\/a> under your normal clothes that helps you carry yourself better, a little pep in your step if you will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Never been streaking? It\u2019s time to cross that off your bucket list too. We all want the same thing from our underwear as we do from our partners, a little bit of support and a little bit of freedom. Consider this as indulging in your freedom as you run around the block wearing only your chonies. It can be a silly reminder that life doesn\u2019t always have to be so serious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The History of Underwear<\/span><\/h3>\n

Originally, clothes were made of fabrics that were difficult to clean or uncomfortable to the touch. Undergarments acted as a buffer to reduce friction and irritation on the gentlest areas of our skin. Archaeologists have found remnants of leather loincloths dating back as far as 7,000 years. Over time our clothes have become softer and the need for underwear is not so necessary, hence going commando. The phrase \u201cgoing commando\u201d was said to have originated with soldiers during the 1974 Vietnam War to encourage boys to increase ventilation in the humid climate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Religious Underwear<\/span><\/h3>\n

Religious underwear, also known as temple garments, are typically used as reminders of covenants and symbolic or physical protection from the evils of this world. One of the most popular religious undergarments talked about in modern day are from Mormonism, but they are also practiced in some forms of Judaism and Catholicism. You may be picturing a metal chastity belt like in the movie scene from \u201cMen in Tights\u201d, but these undergarments are typically a modern two-piece set in all white to represent pureness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sexual Attraction Underwear<\/span><\/h3>\n

What we maybe have more joy in while celebrating National Underwear Day is the use of <\/span>intimate apparel as subtle sexual signals<\/span><\/a>. One study found that heterosexual women\u2019s point for wearing sexy underwear was less about sending signals to their partners and more about making themselves feel sexy in preparation for sex, but desire certainly is a part of arousal<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you want to celebrate National Underwear Day by wearing <\/span>no panties at all<\/span><\/a>, remember that \u201cthose who don\u2019t wear underwear never get their panties in a bunch.\u201d So enjoy, you little rebel you.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
