Following on from Scorpiongal's "what colour is your wardrobe" theme, I thought I'd post some information on the colour and style of your underwear (cos I’m guessing that most of us wear underwear. Right? Well, at least sometimes…..)Did you know that your choice of underwear is one of the strongest indicators of your sensuality and your emotionally romantic state?
Authors Lyn Champion and Judy Scott-Kemmis of the “The Colour of Sex”, interviewed a variety of people about underwear to determine the most sexually appealing colours, fabrics, and styles. They’ve come up with a rating system (see below). A score of 7 or more out of 10 means you are wearing sensual underwear.
I don't think there was any reference to zodiac in the book, however, it would be interesting to see if there was a correlation between the two.
Men, to calculate your score, give yourself points out of 10 for each of the three factors (colour, fabric, and style); then divide your score by 3.
Ladies, you need to score your bra, as well as your nickers. To calculate your score, give yourself points out of 10 for each of the three factors (colour, fabric, and style) for your bra, and then for your nickers; then divide your score by 6.
If you do not wear a bra – score 20 out of 30 points. If you wear a camisole, it’s listed under bra style.
If your underwear is multi-coloured (for example: blue and purple, score those colours individually, then divide them by the number of colours).
Add Bonus Points if:
Suspenders and stockings in same colour as underwear – add 3 points to score out of 60, then divide by 6. (If different colour, only add 2 points).
Lose Points if:
If your nickers and bra don’t match in colour – deduct 2 points from your score out of 60 before dividing by 6. Or, if your nickers and bra are totally different in pattern or fabric, deduct 1 point from your score of 60 before dividing by 6.
So, take the test and if you’re game, post your score.
