It doesn't matter what my local lingerie store, Flannel will remain unsexy
They have a big fancy display in the window of the La Senza store in the mall across from my work. Bored mannequins pose draped in thick flannel pyjamas. The pink board behind them proclaims 'SEDUCTIVE, SENSUOUS, SEXY FLANNEL'. The contrast with all the small silky and lacy things surrounding it renders this scene all the more surreal.

1. "Sexy" Flannel?
What, you live in the UP or someplace equally frigid?

That is SO wrong!
Could you imagine "Wild Thang", the guy who wanted to spend the whole honeymoon in the saddle, getting excited walking his wife past a pair of flannel footie PJ's?

Naw, me neither.....

Still...."Sexy" Flannel? It don't work. unless he puts his on backwards so the flap is in the front and she has her flap in the back...

3. Oh come on...
not even if she wears just a top? I think that would look sexy. Esp. with nothing else underneath.

5. If you know that what's in the pyjamas is sexy
Even flannel can be sexy

6. Then flannel isn't sexy, it's the content.

12. then flannel becomes sexy, because it's designed to be touched
So it's kind of a "touch but don't look" situation.

9. Well, maybe flannel pajamas can be sexy, whereas pyjamas can't be.
Cultural difference? ;-)

Nah. You're right. They're warm. That's about it.

10. I am shockingly unsexy when I am cold.
In other words, if I get into bed toasty warm because I'm wearing warm pj's, I'm much more likely to strip them off.

On the other hand, if I am shivering in some strappy little number, I am mummifying myself in quilts and don't want to be touched at all.

So there ya go. Flannel pj's lead to more getting laid. It's scientifically proven.
