WhitneyExtreme Corsetting or Corsetry
September 27th 2008 18:04
Corsets are extremely stiff undergarments that are made with laces to help fasten them tightly around the woman's waist area. They used to be worn to help shape the female body, but in many cases they are now worn as outer garments and part of an outfit.
Corsets were once made of whalebone and lace, but the more modern corsets are typically made of latex, rubber, leather, and cloth with metal hooks and accessories surrounding a metal or plastic frame, or brace. They are available in a variety of shapes and styles that can include the hourglass corset, stem waist corset, straight front corset, and an equestrine corset.
Wearing a corset may not seem so extreme, but if taken to an extreme a female can use corsets to help create a semi-permanent affect to the waistline or butt area.
Corsetry does not necessarily use the fashion corsets as they are not made for permant, or semi-permanent shaping. Instead, very strong corsets are used so that they last up to a year in some cases.

Although this isn't the modification that I would choose, many people find that where the corset affects blood flow and pressure they can be highly sensual and sexually pleasant.
Personally, I'll stick with corsets as being nothing more than aesthetically pleasing instead of using one to mold my body into a weird shape. Yes, I'll admit it, the affect of corsetry looks plain weird.
