The Psychology Behind Halloween Costumes

But what will people think? Will you take more action or less action? Is it easier or harder to flirt? Stepping out of character, opening up to your altar self, and taking your partner on a journey with new people can be incredibly empowering—but it’s best to know what kind of sexual energy your outfit will attract forward You attended that party, club or event.

superhero

Superheroes are a solid, sexy choice. A sly Wonder Woman says over the punch bowl: “I’m adventurous, but I’m also strong and have a moral conscience, so don’t try anything dirty or I’ll whip you with my golden lasso.” ” -The executed Batman said, “I’m a bad boy, but in a good way…” Do yourself a favor and choose wisely.

Don’t try to be Thor if you have a dark buzzcut – who wants to wear a blonde wig all night? If you’ve never worn leggings, an intense Halloween party might not be the place to start. The same goes for women – Catwoman and Maleficent are both very sexy characters, but remember, in both cases, you’re going to town in a shower cap. The bottom line with superhero costumes is that if you embody the power and confidence they possess, you’ll probably get laid.

zombie

Neither rotting flesh nor exposed skulls mine thing, but there’s definitely a huge subculture that welcomes the zombie apocalypse and is even obsessed with the sexy look of zombies. Sexy zombies send a strong message of “shock value.” Don’t be surprised if that half-corpse lover wants a quick play session in the club bathroom or pulls out a weird sex toy when you least expect it.

video game characters

Video game culture is huge, and the internet is awash with the “hottest video game costumes” of 2015. If you’re someone who wants to jump on the bandwagon, I have to tell you that this particular definition of “hottest” has nothing to do with sex. Angry Birds, Super Mario, or Link from The Legend of Zelda running around a Halloween party probably won’t get laid.

Still, you may be interested to know that it may send the message that you are a submissive, so if you like being dominated and disciplined, this may still be a good choice. Generally speaking, women fare better in this category, as the costumes sometimes reveal cleavage, and men go crazy over women like Zelda with elf ears. They’re sure to be a great set of handles for a naughty Halloween blowjob.

playboy bunny

Let’s face it, Halloween is a great night to show off your body and get noticed. Outfits Most Women Are Looking For improve their sexual desire, rather than neutralizing it. So of course, it’s very tempting to wear a sexy leotard with a furry tail and cute ears. However, unless you really yes Playboy Bunny (I had a friend who used to be, and her husband expected her to wear this costume every year), which might put you into a difficult sexual category – that is, you might come across as tacky and dated, This is no Sexy.

pirate

The pirate equivalent of the Playboy bunny, but the cheese factor definitely depends on how well it performs. A dainty felt pirate hat paired with a crisp white shirt can still have die-hard appeal on the right person, but be careful not to venture too far into the cheap world of plastic eye patches and mustaches. Stay classy and carry a big fake sword.

a mask

For those who aren’t sure where their Halloween plans are going, masks are a sexy option. If you have a few places to go that aren’t all costume events, you have other options. Covering your face, or even just your eyes, is very attractive and will make people curious to see your face.

Remember, in Salome’s erotic Dance of the Seven Veils, when she strips naked, the last thing exposed is her eyes. Masks are a fantastic flirting tool that allow you to use body language to your advantage.

No clothing

Okay, you might be the party pooper, but sometimes not wearing a costume can be as good a conversation starter as any other option. Your future love may wonder where you’d be without a costume—you’re a rebel who doesn’t follow the crowd. Just be aware that if the party is a close group of friends or has a strict dress code, they may be very disappointed and you may run the risk of looking like a giant asshole, which is never sexy. If you really don’t feel like dressing up, wear a mask!

Halloween allows us all to break out of character and pretend to be someone else for a while, and I believe there is huge value in stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new ideas and even ways of living. You may find that your choice of clothing gives you a passport into an unexpected world of sex.

Happy Halloween!
