Hi Jo, I agree, the loose ones are definitely French Knickers. Although my first encounter with French knickers, i.e. knickers in France, was definately a pair of frilly panties.
Around 1970 i travelled to France, on a student airfare (£10) . My then girlfriend and I stayed in a loft room in B, St. Michele for a few days. One morning , as we walked down the street we were confronted with a 'lingerie' shop with a pair of frilly panties in the window. I had never seen such a public display before and neither had my girlfriend who went a bright red as we passed by, in humiliating silence.
In Ireland, at the time, most clothes were sold in drapery stores. Our village had a couple of such stores. One, called Higgins, was a general store with a drapery section, ruled over by old Mors Higgins. Underwear , of all types would have been kept behind the counter in boxes which were only opened for female customers when they wanted to purchase underwear. It was definitely never displayed. Of course the likes of Dunnes stores and Penneys later changed all that but at the time panties, knickers etc. were usually hidden away.
Travel does broaden the mind.
Jo, it is fascinating to imagine a different path had you not had that spanking. I know in school and college, most friends I knew dreaded the idea of corporal punishment. I think about ten years had to pass before we could see anything erotic or nice about spanking. And even then, speaking from my own experience, I began to find the idea of administering a spanking to be somewhat exciting, not recieving it. Funny the way the mind works. |
