Every time spring comes, the beautiful legs in stockings all over the street irritate the eyes of many people. They desperately tell themselves not to keep staring, but they can't control their eyes. What is the reason for this phenomenon that makes people doubt themselves? Is it because I am too perverted, or is a man just so "perverted" in his heart?
Five Hundred Years of Silk Stockings History
More than 500 years have passed since the birth of silk stockings. Although the early silk stockings were very different from today, from the perspective of function and wear, they belong to the same line.
In the middle of the 15th century, stockings first appeared in Europe, but the material was wool or cotton thread, and the production method was purely manual. Not to mention the price, the production cycle was also very long .
In the 16th century, European nobles began to wear silk stockings and generously displayed their thighs for everyone to appreciate. Stockings come in a variety of colors, with bright red, pure white, and tender green being the mainstream. I believe that if you have watched the movie " The Three Musketeers ", you will still remember the various uncles wearing stockings and shaking their "sexy" thighs in public.
Yes, stockings at that time were men's exclusive clothing. Women chose corset tops and long skirts because of religious etiquette. The chest and waist lines were perfectly displayed, but the lower body was completely covered.
Napoleon wore white stockings when he was coronated, and the participating princes and ministers were also dressed in the same dress. Now they look particularly funny. If you don't believe it, you can check out " The Coronation Ceremony of Napoleon I". The painter Jacques-Louis David painted a real picture of the scene.
By the beginning of the 20th century, women's clothing trends had undergone tremendous changes. As a representative of beauty, the calf line was gradually valued by women. Silk stockings are finally no longer occupied by men and have become exclusive to women. Men wear suit pants and expose their thighs, which becomes "ungentlemanly".
However, the stockings at this time could easily become baggy due to the material they were made from. Women also needed a certain amount of financial resources to wear them, and poor families simply could not afford them.
However, with the discovery of nylon fiber, stockings finally became what we see now. In 1940, elastic and voluptuous stockings appeared on the market for the first time, and 70,000 pairs were sold that day!
However, with the deepening of and World War II , stockings became "military supplies" again. Since military uniforms and parachutes require a large amount of nylon fiber, stockings that cost 1.5 US dollars a pair before were sold to 20 US dollars. Silk stockings became a hot commodity for a while, and women who could wear them were either rich or noble. In the movie "Shameless Chaos", the movie star showed her bare legs, Goebbels 's mistress wore black stockings, all of which perfectly restored the real situation at that time.
When World War II was declared over, American women lined up in front of grocery stores to wait for stockings to be released. Once they got them, they couldn't wait to sit on the roadside and wear them. Men rushed out to watch, which was enough to demonstrate the unique magic of stockings.
The magic of stockings
From the time when stockings became women's clothing, to now when the clothing market is flourishing, it seems that every man has an inexplicable admiration for stockings!
In fact, the function of stockings is very simple, that is, to cover and tighten. Women's legs also have many flaws, such as many scars from childhood, poor skin due to poor endocrine function, and leg hair due to high levels of male hormones. Stockings can cover up these shortcomings very well and make you look smooth and delicate. At the same time, the elasticity of stockings can tighten the fat on the legs, making them look tight, elastic and very toned.
Men are such simple animals. Their brains are particularly sensitive to visual sensations. No matter what they see is real or fake, they will react. When you see a woman wearing stockings, the visual effect is good, and your favorability will naturally rise to a higher level. Moreover, the innate view of mate selection is also very "realistic". Good skin will be passed on to the next generation, making it easier for children to choose a mate. Those with strong muscles and strong fertility are suitable for wives.
These are things engraved in DNA and cannot be changed, so it is not a big mistake to get excited when you see stockings. Instinct drives you to see more and think more. As long as you don't do anything, everything will be normal.
But if you "do it", you have to think about whether you have a mental illness!
Fetishes and Crimes
Many male friends have unique hobbies, such as girls who like glasses, or girls who like JK outfits. Some even love the opposite sex because of objects, and stockings are one of them.
This is a typical fetish and the initial stage of pathology. The reasons for this phenomenon are complex. Psychologists generally believe that this is caused by people being exposed to these items within a short period of time or under nervous conditions.
In fact, everyone has experienced nervous situations, such as being very nervous before an exam, envying a top student who wears glasses, or having sexual interest in Japanese school uniforms in short movies when he was excited.
But when fetishism evolves into actual actions, it will have many consequences that touch the moral bottom line and even violate the law.
If the opposite sex wears black stockings, you think this person is very suitable for you. The actual situation may be completely different. The girl's personality and hobbies are very different from yours, because hobbies waste your life.
A very small number of fetishes can develop into crimes, such as stealing the other person's stockings and underwear to vent their desires. What's more, they immediately take advantage of the other person's stockings when they see them wearing them, becoming a "maniac" in the eyes of everyone. Not only will Kiritsugu die, but he may also go to jail.
In 2020, a "salty pig hand" case was announced in Shanghai. The criminal Wang had a serious fetish and a special liking for stockings. It finally turned into a criminal act in 2019. He squatted at the subway entrance every day. When he saw a young woman wearing stockings, he would follow him and observe him. When no one was around, he would force him to "touch her legs" and molested several people in a year. In the end, the court sentenced Wang to 8 months in prison, hoping that he could reflect on his crime while stepping on the sewing machine.
Another case is even more ridiculous. In 2016, Chuanshan District, Suining City, Sichuan Province received a call that a woman was robbed on her way to get off work! The police asked the victim what was taken away, and the answer was a pair of stockings, or what the woman was wearing!
The police quickly caught the suspect Liu based on clues. It turned out that he had robbed several times in three years, targeting single women wearing stockings. The robbery process was exactly the same. He first took the women to a secluded place with a knife, then threatened them to take off their stockings, and then ran away with the stockings!
It can be seen from this that if everyone has a "perverted" worship of stockings, they need to find a psychologist to guide them and avoid behavior that exceeds moral constraints and legal boundaries, because this is a disease and needs to be treated!
With the emancipation of the mind, Chinese women have their own choices in dressing up, and the purpose is not the traditional "to please one's appearance", but more for comfort and decency. Silk stockings have become the first choice of many women in the spring and autumn seasons. They are beautiful and warm, and they look beautiful when paired with skirts. What do you think of men’s preference for stockings?
