From Black Venus to Blonde Venus: The Meaning of Black Lingerie
The development of the specialized meaning of black lingerie as particularly erotic raises questions regarding the dynamics of race and sexuality, as blackness and black bodies have for several centuries in Western culture been linked to deviant and particularly lascivious sexuality, while whiteness and white bodies have been associated with sexual purity.
