It is much more sexual for me to wear them as I get rock hard before pulling them all the way up. But there is also a feeling of comfort when I wear. Sometimes I have the opportunity to slip a pair on under my winter pj's so that my wife and kid don't know (but they are also asleep when I do this), then I go back to my recliner to watch some more tv. I find I'll go soft, but still enjoy the feeling of the silky fabric on my legs. Seeing a women in hose is very erotic for me...just wish my wife would wear hose and not just knee highs.
