magic underwear

 In the course of writing an article about Brigham Young's 19th or 44th wife, depending on how you count, I made a side trip to investigate Mormon underwear. It is known as "the garment," and you have to be a member of the temple (and prove it) to buy it in a special store. It used to be a union suit, but as you can see it has been updated. There are still tiny embroideries over the breasts, belly and knee that are said to come from Masonic symbols like the square and the compass. You are meant to wear it next to the skin at all times—even under your bra if you are female—though swimming, showering and sex are exempt. Does this make sex spicier?
