Ladies, Our Unmentionables Speak Volumes to Men

If lately you find yourself grabbing for the fun and flirty options in your top-secret top drawer, it could be that summer's playful nature has you in a hotter-than-usual mood. Indeed, say our pals at ModernMan.com, what a woman wears underneath her clothes says a lot about her sexual appetite and what she wants from her mate. Ladies, when we get dressed, could this be what we're after?

Our friends at ModernMan.com have uncovered the secret love language behind what's on (or not on) our behinds. What's your identity when it comes to intimates? Let's take a look...

If you wrap yourself in ruffles & bows, you're telling a man that you're a pretty little package that should be celebrated and unwrapped, says clinical psychologist Jennifer Baumgartner, PsyD. You want to be taken care of and caressed by a man who's in control. What he needs to remember? That you truly are precious and deserve to be treated as such.

If you compose foreplay with the thong song or a G-string, Baumgartner says you're a woman who's "more uninhibited." You like it any way, as long as it's wild, and it's possible the place where you connect the deepest with your partner is in fact in bed.

Oh boyshorts. They're for the woman who feels so secure that she believes a guy should have to work to get what he wants. Baumgartner tells ModernMan.com that cheeky is the woman who shows off just that hint of cheek: "Boyshorts are all about the tease. A woman who wears them likes to play hard to get." Maybe you like full-on foreplay, tons of touching and killer kissing before you get to the best part. Your belief, after all, is that the reward is hottest after it's called for some suffering.

If you feel good in white, comfy cotton, you're not looking to make it complicated. "It's the underwear equivalent of seeing her without her makeup on," Baumgartner says -- meaning, this girl's best asset is how sensuously natural she is. It's likely you don't need see-through mesh or splashy animal prints to feel sexy and chase your partner's attention. You know you're beautiful, inside and out.

Vuluptuous vintage. What's not to absolutely adore about old-fashioned lace, delicately-sewn cups and love-me-up satin that rides just below your ribs. Sure, point out our ModernMen.com friends, retro lingerie tends to cover up your most tantalizing points, but before the world turned all Jersey Shore, wasn't that the point? The woman who wears whimsical vintage undies "feels powerful in her femininity," says Baumgartner, "but she still wants [the man] to make the first move." She also wants him to be a real man -- a gentleman who treats her right. No boys allowed -- he should arrive ready to win you.
