Ah, now this is one of my favorite subjects, corsets. I would defiantly say this is one of my fetishes to. Lucky for me, working the Ren Faire circuit i have had the opportunity to learn allot about corsets and corset training. Even spent 4 days helping out a corset shop, laced up close to 75 women that weekend.

But to answer the topic of this thread, yes. I like to us the lacing's to show power, but not to much as you can cause allot of long term injury up to broken ribs and paunched lungs. But, it is hard to do. Lacing a corset properly takes skill. If you have been doing it your self or just who ever was nearby when you went out, then most likely you have not had it done right. Trust me, go t o a corset shop, or to a Faire and have someone do it right it will make a world of difference.

But, tightening the corset threw out play can be fun. But beware the vapors... ever heard that term? Its what they would call the dizzy spells that southern bells would get. what it really is it your body not getting enough oxygen when you breath because your corset is to tight and your lungs can't fully expand. Now, this can lead to whole new levels of autoeroticexphicashion(SP?) with out the need for plastic bags.

But i digress... Either way, the answer is yes...

Oh, and if there is anyone in MI and you want to know how to properly lace a corset we can make arraignments. i travel all over MI, IN, IL, and OH during the summer.
