Vamp up your look with some seriously sexy style courtesy vintage-inspired lingerie.

The pinup craze is nothing new, and what’s more, it’s not going anywhere. The look celebrates all things feminine, but that doesn’t mean shrinking violet. Nope.

This look is fierce and hot.

Vintage vamp is universally flattering, the styles work for all shapes and sizes of women.

We show you how to unleash your inner pinup girl so you can tease your self or your partner.

1. Cover Up to Be Coy

The vampy look is all about smoldering sex appeal, but that doesn’t mean showing a lot of skin.

This lingerie look features full-coverage bras and panties.

Those long-line bras and high-waisted panties help to enhance those dangerous curves, whittling the waist, shaping the bust, and cupping the rear.

Left: Go retro with full-coverage options that hint and the sexiness beneath, like this Satin Noir via Dollhouse Bettie.

 2. The Stocking Exchange

Forget modern thigh highs, for true vintage appeal, go for full-fashioned stockings. The feel is pure luxury and the look is simply stunning. With or without the seam up the back.

Why are these so sexy?

One male friend got positively misty eyed while reminiscing about the experience of feeling where stocking ended and skin began. It was a little naughty, like forbidden fruit, tantalizing, tempting, and right there.

Right: Fully-fashioned stockings and classic lingerie are undeniably sexy and stylish!  As if these Dana Glamour Stockings from Secrets in Lace isn’t proof enough.

3. Get Girdled

Who said shapewear can’t be sexy?

Classically styled girdles aren’t the flesh-toned spandex creations of today.

These lace-trimmed pieces will get motors running and eyes popping.

Designed to create an hourglass figure even when nature hasn’t provided, a gorgeous girdle is one way to show off your assets!

Left: Retro-inspired shapewear is anything but boring, and this All-in-One girdle from Girdle Bound demonstrates that shaping up, might just be a new phrase for your dirty talk.

4. Ruffle it Up

Put on your petticoat!

Whether you wear these pouffy slips under your dress, or as a layer in the bedroom, the look is ultimately feminine and flirty.

Flip your skirt and flash some leg. Twirl and let the flounces fly.

Modern crinolines are not scratchy or itchy, but they are marvelously fun and sexy!

Right: Layers of pouf add feminine charm and look amazing when you twirl! (Crinoline at Pinup Girl Clothing)

5. Accessories Matter

Go all out, grab a pair of your favorite heels, put on some red lipstick, and don’t forget lots of mascara.

Gloves and boa optional!

Sweep your hair into an easy updo and tuck in a floral pin, or add some victory curls, or soft, tumbling waves and you’ve got an irresistible look that will make you feel like a vamp.

Tickle Me Pretty Tips & Tricks For Velcoming Your Vintage Vixen

• New v. Retro Stocking Sizing: Fully-fashioned stockings do not stretch the way modern hosier does, so be sure to check the sizing guidelines carefully.
• The Bullet Bra: Love the bullet bra look, but your boobs are rounded? You can get little cone-shaped inserts to fill out this classic, bombastic profile.
• New-Old Vintage Shopping: There are plenty of companies creating vintage-inspired lingerie and shapewear, and a handful selling “new old” stock, which just means actual vintage pieces that were never sold or used. These can be terrific finds, but always check sizing info carefully!
• Slow it Down to Speed it Up: When you take it all off, if you’ve got an audience, milk it for all its worth. Make a show of removing your stockings, rolling them down one at a time. Slowly undo each hook of that bra.
• That Sexy Girdle Bump: If you wear a girdle, yes, you’re going to have the “girdle bump” (that little bump created by the girdle’s garter hooks). Don’t worry about it. It’s part of the appeal of the vintage look, and it’s enough to get pulses racing in folks who know.

Tickle Me Pretty Bondage Level: Coffee Table Intro Guide

Hello, Can You Hear Me…Breathing Heavy?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? Keeping it hot and heavy when you’re going at it long distance can be tough.

Feeling disconnected or a little needy? Try a little phone sex.

Why? Telling your partner how much you want them is great, but doesn’t scratch that itch. Enjoying a mutual masturbation session over the phone may not be as good as the real thing, but it’s a good way to keep things steamy until you can reconnect in person.

Are you ready to get talking dirty, Tickle Me Pretty style?

Taking the Sex-Talk Plunge

This one’s tough to answer. Cam or Skype may sound great, but if you’re shy, it’s going to be harder to really let loose and do some serious dirty talking.

Start with a phone call first.

You can work your way up to Skype and cams if you want.

On the phone, it’s all about your voice and your imagination (and it won’t matter what you are wearing…Or not wearing

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: Mix it up to keep things fresh and exciting.

Start Slow

There’s nothing like the first time. You’re going to giggle. You’re going to blush. You’re going to feel silly. Instead of jumping into the deep end with explicit talk, try a slow dance.

Let the anticipation and tension build. Hint at things, without actually saying them so your partner is wondering, “Did she really just say…”

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: Practice saying those “dirty” words so you’re comfortable with them.

Warm it up With Foreplay

At a loss for what to say? It may be cliche, but “what are you wearing?” works, or you can describe what you have on. “What would you like me to do?” is a good one as well.

Touch yourself and describe the feeling of your hands on your body.

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: You don’t need to be super explicit to make it hot. Warm things up with sensual talk.

Down and Dirty on the Phone

One option is to give and take directions.

Say things like, “I want you to touch your…” If you’re the one following directions, make sure to make appropriate “oh and ah” sounds. If you’re giving the instructions, follow up with things like “That’s good.”

Another option is to simply describe what you are doing, or what would you do if you were together, as if you were narrating an erotic film. “I want to straddle your thighs and ride you hard,” or “I come over and straddle your thighs.” Whatever works for you.

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: Phone sex can be a great time to play with fantasies, but make sure you’ve talked about it with your partner before you start getting freaky.

When I Phone Sex With You, I Play With Myself

This is phone sex. That means playing with yourself and telling your partner that you’re doing it. If you’re acting out a fantasy or role play, you can stick with very vocal sexy noises. “Yes!” “Oh just like that!” “That feels so good!” “I’m cumming!”

If you’re just talking sexy, you can describe exactly what you’re doing and how it feels.

Tell them how wet you are. Ask them how hard they are. Let them know how your body aches for their touch.

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: Phone sex is not the time to be quiet. You don’t have to be loud, but you do want to be vocal. Everything from inarticulate moans to explicit words will be a huge turn on.

Let’s Get Visual

Want to increase the heat? Send some sexy pics, or take a quick webcam shot. It’s a great way to ease yourself into doing a video sex-chat. Dress up, dress down, whatever makes you feel  hot and sexy. Break out the toys. Show as much or as little as you dare.

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: Remember once you’ve sent that image, it’s out there forever. Trust in your partner is crucial. Or use an app like SnapChat that only shows pics for a brief time.

Tickle Your EARS Pretty

The first time you have phone sex with your partner you may feel awkward. The last thing you want to do is add to that weirdness by trying to be something you’re not.

Don’t try for the phone-sex-operator voice. You’ll only feel more self-conscious and prone to laughing.

Go ahead and push yourself a bit, it’s easier to be dirty over the phone, but don’t go too far outside your comfort zone.

Tickle Me Pretty Tip: Phone sex is the perfect time to break down some barriers. If you can’t say “I want your cock” or “fuck me now” to your partner in person, you might find it easier over the phone. And you might be surprised when you get back together how much easier it is to be a little dirtier between the sheets.

It’s Ok to Talk Dirty

“Hey baby, wanna…”

Sex is a sensual experience, from the taste of your lover’s kiss to the touch of their hands, even the scent of their skin, no sense is overlooked. Want to increase the heat level? Amp up the sensual experience with some aural seduction. Yes, we mean talking dirty.

You don’t have to make like a porn star to engage in some hot talk. We’ve all tried it and felt silly, or uncomfortable. How can you sound seductive when you can’t get past feeling ridiculous? It’s easy if you take it in little steps, and we’ve got some tips for everyone from beginner to pro, so hang on, it’s gonna get hot in here! 

Talk Dirty | The Tickle Me Pretty Moves

The more arousal buttons we hit, the hotter the sex.

If we come to the bedroom, strip down and jump into bed with no preamble, we’re not likely to be seeing fireworks. All those sounds you make, little sighs, moans and groans, and yes, the dirty talk, all trigger a chemical reaction in your brain telling your body it’s time for some fun.

Sure, some people don’t like it, and everyone has limits. If you’re not sure about yours, or your partner’s, discuss outside of sex, and start slow. 

Softcore Dirty Talk

Start with things that come naturally, or at least semi-naturally. This is also a good place to start. There’s nothing so hot as the subtle tease that begs the question, “Did she really mean….???”

Start with a softcore approach. Dirty doesn’t have to mean explicit.

Simple things like saying, “wow, you look hot” instead of “you look nice tonight” can help set the stage, and get you more comfortable with sexually-charged conversation. You can also compliment him on the things he does to you when you are getting it on, try “I love the way you taste” or even “mmmm, you are such a good kisser.”

The Tickle Me Pretty Softcore Dirty Talk Starter Trick >>

Start slowly, and start before you get to the bedroom.

After a kiss, whisper in his ear, “I love when you do that.” It’s sexy, arousing, and makes both of you want more. Add a light touch, kiss, or some other physical touch to punctuate your statement and amp up the heat.

TMP Softcore Dirty Talk Examples:

• Nice ass
• You feel so good
• I love the way you smell
• Don’t stop
• You make me feel so good
• I love when you do that
• Yes!
• I like that
• I want you
• I need you right now
• Give it to me
• Oh yes, just like that
• I woke up thinking about you

Intermediate Dirty Talk

Where can you go next? You don’t have to go from subtle to salacious in one step. Taking your dirty talk to the next level means getting comfortable with being more specific.

Now’s the time to start breaking out some language.

Use words you can get comfortable with. If you can’t say “pussy”, find another euphemism, or skip it entirely, but work to get comfortable with more explicit language.

The Tickle Me Pretty Intermediate Dirty Talk Trick >>

If you’re stuck for what to say during foreplay or sex, try describing what he’s doing. Tell him how much you like what he’s doing, or ask for (or tell him) what you want him to do.

TMP Intermediate Dirty Talk Examples:

• Your tongue feels so good
• I want you inside me
• Harder!
• Tell me what you want
• I want to make you come
• You make me wet
• I love how hard you get
• I’m going to come
• Last night was amazing

The Dirtiest Dirty Talk

Still too tame for you? Not everyone is comfortable with explicit dirty talk, and some are OK with a simple “fuck me harder” but can’t imagine saying “fuck my pussy!”

It’s personal and totally up to you and your partner. You decide what works for you.

Adding a bit of raunchy language to tamer suggestions is one way to spice it up. For example, “I want you inside me” becomes, “I want your cock” or even, “I want your cock in my pussy” or “You feel so good” turns into “Your cock feels so good.”

TMP Dirtiest Dirty Talk Examples:

Getting even dirtier requires a little thought about the nature of your relationship.

• Are you the direct type? “I want your mouth on my clit, making me come.”
• Or maybe you’re into giving commands, “Put your mouth on my clit and make me come!”
• Or are you the more submissive partner, asking your lover to do things to you? “Please baby, I love your mouth on my clit, please make me come.” Same result, different approach.

Talk Dirty Warm up | The Tickle Me Pretty Moves

• Try talking dirty out loud while you’re alone to get used to the sounds of “those” words coming out of your mouth!
• Read some erotica and make mental notes of the things that got you hot, and the things that made you giggle. Try some of the hot lines on your lover, after practicing them out loud!
• One way to ease into dirty talk is to read erotica aloud to your lover. It’s great foreplay!
• Watch porn for research. Sure it’s over the top, but it will make you more comfortable with hearing dirty words.
• Watch porn together. What does he react to the most? Does he like the moans and groans, or is he more into the explicit fuck-me language? Talk about it (later) to find out.
• Use the right tone. Whether it’s soft and inviting, or firmly commanding, how you say something is as important as what you say.

Spanking in Movies

Did you get hot while watching Secretary? The scene when he first spanks her as she is bent over his desk is a classic. Or Dana Delaney in Live Nude Girls fantasizing about being spanked by the Don. Who can forget Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger in 9 ½ Weeks? For a more intense spanking scene, there’s Keira Knightley in A Dangerous Method. Even the most wholesome of TV shows featured a little over-the-knee action, Ricky spanked Lucy several times on I Love Lucy. We have a fascination with turning bottoms pink.

Spanking sex gets us hot, and ladies don’t have to be on the receiving side. Exit to Eden may have been a silly comedy, but it included some steamy female-dominant spanking.

How to Have Spanking Sex

If watching a steamy spanking sex scene gets you all hot and bothered, maybe it’s time to give it a try.

Spanking Sex Step: 1

The first step is talking to your partner. Whether you want to give or receive, you’ve got to have a willing accomplice. Bring it up casually, and ask if they’d be willing to try it out, then start slowly.

Spanking Sex Step:2

Start with a hand, lightly tapping the the bottom with the palm. The idea is to get both the giver and the receiver used to the sensations and activity. It also increases blood flow to the area, heightening arousal and reducing the risk of leaving marks.

Spanking Step: 3

To increase the intensity, use the whole hand, like a slap. Leaving the hand flat produces a stingier sensation, while cupping the hand for the spanking creates a deeper, thuddier feeling. Everyone is different, try both to see which you like.

After the Spanking

Spanking does come with risks, skin can bruise, and muscles and skin can be left a bit tender, depending on the intensity of the spanking. Warming up and increasing intensity slowly, or keeping the spanking light can reduce the risks of bruising. For most people, a few tender spots and the occasional small bruise are pleasant reminders of a good time.

Upping the Spanking Heat

You can add paddles, belts, or other tools to your spanking arsenal, but one of the best things about spanking sex is that you have all the tools you need right in the palm of your hand.

Want to See More?

There’s plenty of spanking erotica out there to choose from, and with a little careful looking, it’s not too difficult to find hot spanking scenes in mainstream movies and porn. It’s a great way to have fun with spanking solo, or gently entice your partner into some play.

Spanking Sex Erotica

These stories are all about discipline, in the form of red bottoms.

Ten short stories all about ladies who love to go over the knee. Hot and sweet, focused on the romance.

Three hot novellas where the ladies learn that a red bottom is a happy bottom.
