How did feathers become sexy?

March 22, 2008 | Filed Under Lingerie 

I don’t know about you, but the word “feathers” does not make me think of sexy lingerie.  However, despite what I think, feathers are quickly becoming associated easily with things of a sexual nature.

Gone are the days of feather dusters, feather pillows, and chicken coops.  Although feather boas have been around for centuries, we also now see feather ticklers, feather blindfolds, feathered heels, and believe it or not, feathered lingerie.  What’s the big deal with feathers?

I think that the reason feathers have become a staple in the sexual world is that they have a unique texture.  Feathers are simultaneously soft, silky, prickly, ticklish, and exotic.  So of course, you can imagine what can be done with a feather tickler… use that on your partner and  you can take them from feeling pampered, to feeling teased, to feeling tormented all based on how you hold the feathers.

 Amazing.  Who would have thought that such a simple little instrument could be so useful?
