It can be easy to assume that because one guy likes it, others do....
Though I probably look terrible because I am 53, my husband still likes lingerie and I still like having matching underwear--even if it is just a white bra with white underware...my natural inclination is to want to lower the lights when I am in lingerie or naked and not so much for him so I say to myself--if that's what he wants, he must be ok with how I look (and a good partner will find complement you)....And sometimes I envy women that can go about town with no bra at all. Because of my curves--when I used to run, I felt like I had to wear two bras at once---an athletic one on top of an underwire one.

I was ruminating about this after I wrote it - thinking about that one comment of a guy laughing his *** off at a girl's lingerie and practically in tears imagining it happening to me. Yet after I got offline, I was out walking, and wandered into a local junk shop. As I was looking at all the stuff I found myself thinking - with so many preferences, is it worth worrying that much? There's stuff I can't stand or think is pointless that others love, and it doesn't bother me for more than a moment.
I can't let myself slide into total nihilistic relativism - there are definitely preferences that are better than others, times when others' viewpoints are relevant. But over something like underwear...maybe it's not worth the worry. I like your idea about asking - that could be some pretty cute flirting!
