No, it's not permanent, no it's not as dangerous as it seems (as long as it's done gradually, obviously if you do it too quickly it will hurt, and hurt = bad).

I drive with my corset on, you just sit up very straight. I've got an E cup, my corsets are often more comfortable than bras.

I wear corsets a lot, just for fun. Properly fitted corsets don't hurt. I've had pantyhose be less comfortable than some of my corsets. (I lace down from a 28 inch waist to about 23 but I'm easily squished)

So much this. If it's not consensual it's not BDSM.

So much this. I wish I could be friends with gluten, but it makes me violently ill with migranes.

Once you get a cordless drill you will find excuses to use it, I promise. I find excuses to use mine ALL THE TIME.

Considering I have quite a collection of corsets I probably understand them better than you do. I done much research over the years on the topic. You have many corset wearers/makers commenting on your article. Take the time and set aside your preconcieved notions.

Boots before corset!

Corsets haven't been proven to have any impact on fertility. In fact they used to make corsets to wear with pregnant bellies (It probably acted more like a modern belly band).

Not done to extreme, and properly fitted to the person wearing them, corseting does no long-term damage. I wear steel boned corsets, done right they're more comfortable than bras, and MUCH more comfortable than spanks. A good corset almost has to be custom made (unless you're very lucky with your measurements).

I wore a mohawk in college that looked very similar to that... I miss it. Not everyone can pull off that look though.

I work at a zinc oxide plant currently.

I was that girl with blue hair the entire time I was in highschool. It disturbed no one and caused no problems. It also made me happy.

Where I work now you get strange looks for actually dressing business professional. The go-to look for most people is a nice pair of jeans, and t-shirt or polo. I miss getting to dress in skirt suits and heels. It all depends on what industry you go into.

My grandmother always bought me SUPER short skirts and tight sweaters as christmas gifts. Then again, she was a rebel in her day.

Except... what I was saying is that I have reason to validly be afraid of cars, and the only thing that keeps me safe is acting like the cars are trying to kill me.

Car drivers have told me they literally TRY to hit motorcycles, the worst part being they do, and mean it, and think it's funny. Don't they understand that's attempted murder? As a motorcycle rider this is truely scary, because I have had cars TRY to hit me. Yes, there are bad people riding motorcycles, but they are…
