Interesting article I found in wayback machine regarding E. Jean Carroll's opinion on buying lingerie for a women, in which case, she advises to absolutely NOT do it. Odd, it is written or published December 1995.

HOW NOT TO BUY A WOMAN LINGERIE

Rule number one: If you like it, she probably won't.

DECEMBER 1, 1995 | E. JEAN CARROLL

An excerpt:

Yes, I’ve seen many revolting things in my life, but sight of those eerie net underpants with their lewd little puckered crotches staring straight up at me—well, sirs, that will live forever in memory as among my most genuinely deflating yuletide experiences.

Believe me, you have to be out of your mind to try to buy lingerie for a female. My best advice is this: Do not attempt it. Especially at this big-ticket time of year, you can’t buy her the sleazy stuif you really like, such as that

tasty little crotch-free trick teddy with matching fingertip gloves, black velvet wrist bows, and blindfold. So you’ll start by browsing the nasties, then end up buying the $200 underpants hand-crocheted by elderly French nuns or the low-four-figures silk negligee in which Jeane Kirkpatrick could comfortably cavort. In other words, nothing you get is going to make anybody’s dreams come true.

And you can be sure that if you do buy something that turns you on, it’ll make her shudder with revulsion. I don’t

care how many Victoria’s Secret catalogs you’ve chewed your way through, no normal woman wants to wear anything that’s crotchless, buttless, sideless, stringy, slitted, see-through, slippery, or edible."

She relives one of her experiences she had when one of her husbands bought her some sexy lingerie and ends the article stating they were divorced not long after.
