Subject: Male Corsetry, an overlooked item
All over the web you'll find lots and lots of corsetmakers offering a wide range of styles. And on mosts sites you'll find womens corset mainly, sometimes a few male specific models but those are mostly a minority. Even Amsterdam based JC Creations, who offer 6 male corsets, have the corsets displayed on a female model.
Male corsetry is an overlooked item. People tend to think that corsets are worn only women and nowadays by some perverted males. If you browse around the web and dig a bit into the history of corsets you'll find that males have worn corsets throughout the past centuries. In the "good ol'e" tmeschildren, boys and girls, where put in simple corsets to promote a good body posture. As where girls continued the lacing, with boys it stopped when they hit puberty.
Most of the times that is. I read articles and seen pictures of corsets being part of military uniforms for officers. And every once in a while you'll find somthing about men wearing a corset like garment to hide their expanding tummy. These testimonials mostely date back from a time before we where working out, doing body pump, Tae-Bo. And even before we had special saunabelts and electrical muscle stimulators sold on Homeshopping TV.
But why are we ignoring males who just want to correct their posture a bit by wearing corsets in the modern days? In any store that offers custom made corsets you'll hear that they serve males too. Those guys are not only kinksters and crossdressers, but regular blokes that see advantages in corsets. And why should they not? Why is male corsetry overlooked in the public opinion? Apparently even we, the Dutch, who like to think of them selves as open minded have reservations about this subject...
