Thirst-Trapping: A Bikini Case Study | by Honorata Onanisma | The Haven | Sep, 2023

Would you like to see more?

In this picture, you only see half of my ass because your imagination is sexier than my butt.

I wear a bikini bottom for the same reason.

Notice, however, the ring that maintains the two pieces of fabric together.

It gives you a glimpse of the hidden skin. I call it the “intimate glimpse.” You wouldn’t normally see this small patch of skin if we weren’t intimate, but this time, you see it, and it reminds you there are parts of me that are secret.

Like any other human being, you are curious about secrets.

And now, you WANT to see me naked. If I had been naked in the first place, you would have seen me naked, and what would be the fun in that? (Some of you might have ideas.)

The plastic ring hints at ropes and restraints. It’s a classic fantasy that always gives good results. It also looks fragile. It could break at any moment. And don’t we love to wait for a good surprise to happen? Maintaining you in a state of anticipation (and excitement) is the goal.

The skin around my breasts is a bit clearer than the rest of my body, which means it’s usually hidden from sight, but today I’m showing it to you.

Is it a coincidence? Are you lucky? Or did I do it purposely because I knew you would look at me today? Ha! You would like to know — wouldn’t you? Is it a mistake or a sign? Take the time to lose yourself in all the possible interpretations.

Keeping the bikini top in place is not the primary function of the thin strap and the knot. They are here to help you imagine how it would feel like to pull on the string.

Would you like to try?

And now, a question to check if you followed my explanations:

The body is wet, but the hair is dry.
Do you know why?
