Fetish lingerie and other kinky panties, bras, and BDSM underwear are an important aesthetic aspect of dominance and submission or sadomasochism for many.
Visual cues are part of the sensory world of sex and contribute to arousal, anticipation, and sensation. BDSM lingerie or kinky lingerie can symbolize mastery or slavery, or indicate a specific kink, or simply appeal sexually to the wearer or admirer.
Lingerie, euphemistically known as “intimate apparel,” includes vanilla lingerie and kinky lingerie and can also appeal to both. A negligee or panties may be sexy whether you are kinky or vanilla, for example, but in BDSM lingerie it may be black and latex rather than pink and lacy.

Fishnet and Mesh Lingerie
Fishnet fabric has been synonymous with sex for ions. We naturally associate the open diamond net pattern of fishnet stockings, fishnet bodysuits, and fishnet bras with sex workers, vintage pin-up girls, or kinky BDSM vixens.
Mesh lingerie can have a retro Viking or Crusader feel to it, and be fairly industrial. Mesh lingerie can be metal, but you can also get fabric mesh that is closer to fishnet fabric. Some people find fishnet lingerie, mesh lingerie, or both, really kinky and arousing.
