Men's lingerie is becoming a hot seller. Women get tired of the double standard that they are supposed to be the ones to dress up in sexy lingerie and be the one to seduce their man. With lingerie for men, it is the man's turn to excite his partner and turn her on.

Lingerie doesn't have to be sleazy or elegant to do the trick, though. They say that laughter is the best medicine and the same is true for a tired bedroom routine. Novelty lingerie items can be sexy and funny.

Give the Gift of Men's Lingerie

Silk pajamas, a sexy robe and underwear are nice, but once your relationship reaches a certain comfort level, it's fun to branch out a little and test the waters with some different types of men's lingerie. Find which pieces of lingerie are exciting and sexy to you and start there.

You can get a little crazy and pick out something wild and exotic or stick to a more traditional piece of men's lingerie based on his personality and the mood you wish to create.

*Sexy lingerie: Women aren't the only ones who look hot in sexy lingerie. Men create an appealing look in a tasteful thong; see through pieces, sheer boxer shorts, leather lingerie, slings and body suits.

*Fun lingerie: If your goal is to add fun to your relationship, novelty lingerie for men is the way to go. Choose from a loin cloth, fun prints, superheroes, padded lingerie, personalized pieces and lingerie decorated for the holidays.

*Costume lingerie: Costumes aren't just for trick-or-treat. Dress up for the woman in your life and add excitement and fantasy to the relationship. Dress up as a caveman, doctor, pirate, law enforcement officer, fireman, mailman, waiter, or whatever she enjoys.

*Kinky Lingerie: Not everyone enjoys the kinky stuff, but if you and your partner do, there are plenty of pieces of men's lingerie that can take the mood to the next level. Try a lock and key thong, leather g-strings with a zipper or stud embellishments, furry animals, shape enhancing pieces, add-ons, tear-away lingerie and edible underwear.

A word of caution: make sure your partner is into this type of lingerie before showing it off in front of them. Talk about it before you introduce these types of lingerie pieces. Gradually lead up to these items with less kinky stuff first.

How to Choose Lingerie for Men

Knowing your guy's personality is important when you decide to buy him a piece of lingerie. If he doesn't have a very good sense of humor, for example, novelty lingerie will be wasted on him. Likewise, a sophisticated business man or old-fashioned type of guy isn't likely to get excited over kinky lingerie. Just the thought of wearing studs or any type of netting will make him hit the door running.

Take baby steps when it comes to introducing new pieces of men's lingerie to him if you expect him to wear if for you. Make sure he is comfortable with the idea of wearing novelty lingerie to help spice things up.
