I did waist training for a few years. It's harder if you don't have a lot of tush to push, I enjoyed it though.

My waist is still fairly small, even years later. I never took it as far as some people do, though.

He doesn't appear to be wearing a dude corset, and he certainly isn't wearing his corset correctly with that too-tight-belt look in the middle.

Dan the Corset Guy would disapprove.

Wasn't there a scary episode of CSI about this?

I got laced into one at a Renaissance Fest many moons ago and I have never looked hotter. Oh my lord.

@aubonpam: The last time I wore a corset I got distracted by my own cleavage.

Also, I'm now having flashbacks to when I would play dress up as a kid and I'd be Dr. Quinn.

I have always been intrigued by corsets. I love how they look but I am curious as to how people where them. Do they come with instructions for lacing properly? Where do people buy quality corsets? I have too many questions!

I love corsets... Love love love them. I don't waist train though - and I like to breathe somewhat in them, but I love them. ANd I like having sex in them too if you want some TMI.

My husband looks great in his man-corsets. Recently he's taken to making them!!! He's working on a pinstripe/vest man's corset. I told him that's all fine and good but he betta make me one too :)

and now I'm wondering if there are people who get sexually aroused by the inflating blood-pressure cuffs.

WTF is "waist-training"? Does involve layers of newspapers on the kitchen floor and occasional treats?

@PhDork: Waist training is when you wear steel-boned corsets for extended periods of time with the goal of decreasing the size of your waist.

I've been in couple period pieces and the corsets are the most fun! I even had one especially made for me. When they fit well, they are not too terrible.

That said, I want a corset, but I don't want one to squeeze me to that extent. They're so expensive, though, especially for someone my size. Poo.

Unfortunately I can't see the video, but y'know, I have seen boys in corsets and the effect was very pretty. Not omg-can't-breathe- tight, not for any particular waist-training, but definitely a gothy sort of fashion statement, and I thought it was kind of edgy and aesthetically pleasing.

I like my corset for certain occasions--it's dramatic, it's artsy, it goes with badass club/gothy wear. I don't wear it so tight I can't breathe. I wouldn't try to "train" my waist with it, because that shit is bad for you, but hell, if the lady and the dude like going out in corsets, and they like each other, more power to 'em! I think it's neat.

@tscheese: I don't mind men in corsets. It's just that this guy constricted himself so much that his somewhat larger body looked like it had been cut in half. And ditto on the corset love, anything from clubbing to Halloween - I LOVE IT.

@musicpup is worth twenty camels: This! This is what was cracking me up about that guy. It wasn't an appealing look for him, it made him look as though is top half were in the process of floating away from the bottom half.

I just watched this last night. I know it's horrible, but I cracked right the hell up at the dude wearing the corset. It was just...awkward.

The 71 year old woman with the world's smallest waist, though, was kind of scary. She said she wanted to get her old figure back a la her wedding photo, but...in that photo, she was wearing a corset. How do you get back a figure you never really had? And I was kind of bothered by her statement about how fashion nowadays involves girls with their stomachs hanging over their pants, but...her tum tum area is quite...well...it looks distended, thanks to the organ-shifting. It's unsettling. But to each their own.

@Raspberry Swirl: Dance Party Coordinator: So glad someone else saw this! I couldn't see the video clip here (crappy work computer) but since it was NatGeo and involved a married couple, I figured it was probably related, if not a segment of the show.

I was also bothered by the getting back the figure thing . . . it turned into an addiction for her or something, and she never stopped and only seems to have now because it may be impossible to get any smaller.

@girlreporter has a dorky journalism blog: Yeah, it really did seem like an obsession. I can't imagine how having your organs shifting around to accommodate that wouldn't be some kind of sign to stop. Admittedly, it creates a pretty silhouette, but not when the waist is THAT small. I keep imagining a cartoon style folding in half.

Well, corsets ARE fun. But sex in one? What the hell? NO. Ow. I like being flexible during the act. What the hell is his problem?

@taiki: similarly, how does one do the deep, sex breathing that accompanies orgasm in a corset?
