Corset Sex - The corset is a very old garment and sex related. If we use the term to loosely describe a garment meant to constrict the waist of the wearer, then there are examples of corsets depicted on statuettes from Minoan Crete dating to approximately 1600 B.C. The corset as we know it today, with its stays, busk, and laces, came into general vogue in the mid 1700's and reached it's height of popularity at the turn of the century and began to decline in the 1920's with the invention of camiknickers, the forerunner of the modern teddy, and brassieres.

At the height of its popularity the corset was available in many specialized forms. There were tennis corsets, swimming corsets, hip corsets, electrical corsets, abdominal strengthening corsets, men's corsets, training corsets (complete with crossing shoulder straps and attachable thigh-high boots, to prevent the young trainee from removing her corset), and amazingly, maternity corsets. There were several magazines exclusively devoted to corset culture. Most notably among them was "The Wasp", published in London. It was felt that corsets not only molded a Lady's body, but also her character. It compressed her waist, raised her bosom, flattened her stomach, rounded her hips, straightened her back, lifted her head, shortened her steps to an appropriate 12" gait, kept her from being wild and tomboyish in her behavior, and "instilled a properly submissive attitude."

For centuries corsets have been around to help women with their troubled figures. Back in the day, corsets were made of stiff metal poles and quite uncomfortable! Laced up the back, a woman's waist is cinched to make it smaller, pushing the ribcage up and making the bust look bigger.

Today corsets are used in many different ways and MUCH more comfortable, although they do still restrict breathing is some cases.

Fetishists get off on the tightness, the binding of the body. The look and feel of a corset is very arousing both to the wearer and the partner. Binding is usually part of this fetish. Some even consider the trouble they have breathing, as if being hugged too tightly, a turn on.

As you go further into waist training, you find that adjustments have to be made in the lifestyle, especially in eating habits. Meals will have to be much smaller and more frequent. Since the corset compresses the intestines rather severely, a large heavy meal will cause discomfort at best and serious pain at worst. It is recommended to have 5-6 light meals, rather that the 3 large meals most people eat, and to let out the laces a few inches before eating - retightening an hour or so later. Since the success of the training depends on the amount of time that a corset is worn, rather than how tightly it is laced, sleeping will be altered to include sleeping in the corset. Eventually only a few hours a day for washing will be spent without the corset. Rapidly lacing to a very small waist will appear to have the quickest results, but it is the easiest way to actually harm your body. It is much better to lace the corset snugly, but not uncomfortably so, and wear it for a longer period of time.
