Man arrested for buying junior high school girl's panties

I like the word moist. I had never thought of anyone finding it unpleasant. I think that's kind of odd.

Not really. If I remember correctly, about 20+ years ago, there was a guy named "Uncle Eddie" Savidge living in Philadelphia. He would pay teenage boys for their underwear. If the underwear was soiled, bonus$$. When he was finally arrested, police found a very large collection of boxers/briefs stored in pizza boxes throughout his residence.

Finally, someone has found a use for old pizza boxes!

Yuck.

I think this would be an adequate example!

You know you are old when you can hear the phrase "titular bishopric" without at the least having to stifle a snicker.

C'mon, fess up ... you chuckled, didn't you?

I chuckled at your post...but I've come across (if you'll pardon the pun) that phrase a few two many times to still snicker at it :P Kind of comes with the territory (oops did it again) when you study any ecclesiastical history.

Y'know, a few years ago I was talking to a friend of mine who had moved into a new suburban community a while back. It turns out that one of her neighbors, a divorced mom living with her boyfriend, was hosting orgies and running a porn site from her house.

My friend mentioned that the woman was selling panties from her web site. Maybe it was because I was naive, or maybe because my mother's family was in the lingerie business, but it took me a short while to understand that the neighbor was selling used panties. I can sort of understand that women, by themselves, can smell nice. I even understand that, for example, Napolean was supposed to be attracted to an unwashed Josephine. Still, I don't personally get it. To me the whole idea smells fishy.

However, according to this article, women would be more logical buyers for used underwear than men.

Napoleon is known to have been susceptible to the smell of the unwashed Josephine. But he was an unusual male. Recent research has indicated that, while male rats are not appreciably affected by the smell of different female rats, female rats showed a preference for the smell of certain male rats. An experiment along the same lines was done with the clothes of human volunteers. It produced similar results to the ones found in rats. Smell was more important for partner selection in females than males. Interestingly, the clothes of women who were deemed most attractive by men were those that had been worn by women described as “shy and retiring”. The clothes worn by women known to the research workers as being “dominant and aggressive” were considered less desirable.

Update

And here we have yet another alternative use for the disabled toilets:

From http://mdn.mainichi.jp/culture/waiwa...dm003000c.html

Panty sellers roll in the cash by rolling off their soiled skimpies in disabled toilets


"You get more money for panties the longer you've been wearing them and the dirtier they get. Depending on the circumstances, there are some guys who'll pay as much as 20,000 yen for a single pair of panties."
"Occasionally ... there are perverts who'll give you money if you spit, or piss, or shit for them," schoolgirl Maki tells Spa! "At those times, doing business in the toilet makes things so much easier."

Apparently the girls feel safer in the disabled toilets of subway stations because help is not too far away, if needed.

Smell can be an important regard in many manners.

Overall what I find weird is that there was a law already set in place before the guy got arrested.

?? wtf?

Unlike, say, arresting the fellow and then hastily scribbling some law in the comments section of his booking form?

[DanaC]

I think the fact that men buying panties from schoolgirls is so prevalent that a law was required/enacted to deal with it, is perhaps what toranokaze means.

There are some stained and sweaty shoes for sale on eBay. I can only think they are fetish items. At the bottom they generally say, "These will be cleaned to eBay standards after purchase" which doesn't make sense when they are advertised as dirty...

They don't sell for much - perhaps British fetishists haven't caught on yet.
