Just a
couple of months ago, an hilarious news story was reported in which a Chinese man,
having stolen and stashed hundreds of pieces of women’s lingerie, was exposed
when a ceiling collapsed under the weight of his hidden stash.
Located in
the southeast Chinese city of Yulin, the man, aged in his thirties, who later
admitted to psychiatric issues and a lifelong obsession with women’s lingerie,
had been stealing and hiding the underwear in a ceiling above an emergency exit
in his building. After the ceiling collapse, police found more than two
thousand items, including bras and panties hidden in the roof.
The
underwear had, seemingly, been stolen from other residents in the offender’s housing
complex – they had been complaining of missing and vanishing underwear for some
time. The offender had accessed a master key and entered the other residents’
apartments during their absence with the sole aim of stealing and hoarding their
underwear.
He stored
his stolen items in his own ceiling, until he ran out of room there; at this
point he accessed the ceiling cavities in communal fire escapes.
This is not
the only underwear burglar to make his way to infamy in the news recently. A
Singaporean man who had been stealing lingerie from women’s indoor washing
lines was caught in the act – and was publicly shamed into wearing one of the
stolen bras as he was paraded around the block.
Why do men
steal women’s underwear?
·
Some
men want a kinky keepsake of their sexual encounters with a specific woman.
·
Some
men get off on the risk of pinching something intimate.
·
Some
men get off on the thrill of stealing – full stop – and getting away with it.
·
Some
men have a fetish for worn underwear. There is even an industry for selling and
buying worn (and unwashed) panties. Japan even sells used panties in vending
machines, alongside tobacco products and beer, so extreme is this fetish in
that country.
·
What
causes a man to have an underwear fetish? A Japanese study used MRI scanning
technology to look at the brains of men with self-confessed panty fetishes, and
found that decreased blood flow to the temporal and occipital lobes of the brain
was a factor in all subjects. Whether
this is a cause or just a correlation is unknown. Like all fetishes, it begins
in early life and is usually triggered by an event.
