And today's topic for debate is: Sexy lingerie - for or against? Following the news that Victoria's Secret is to tone down its sexy image, Liz Jones gets all hot and bothered in the Daily Mail today.

The bra will inevitably have wiring, which will dig you in the ribs and cause horrible red marks," she rants.

Poor old Liz has clearly never tried the right lingerie - and finding the right fit helps, too, I think. Disagree? Do share. Meanwhile, here are a few sets to get his pulse racing that are neither red, black, nor scratchy.
