A Paris department store is offering women free "lessons in seduction" this week as it opens what it calls the world's largest underwear store. Those feeling inspired by the hundreds of silk bras, colorful knickers and G-strings displayed over more than 2,500 square meters (27,000 sq ft) in Galeries Lafayette's new underwear section can retreat to a quiet area for striptease lessons Saturday. "A professional demonstration lets you discover the gestures it takes to unveil your pretty underwear," the store lures the curious on its Web site, adding classes are for women only. Striptease teacher Lea said the classes will not be vulgar but artistic. "These classes are for women who want to play seducer -- to spice up their relationship or to surprise their partner -- but who don't know how to do it," she said. "We will teach them to always unbutton their shirts from the bottom up when wearing trousers and how not to get their stilettos stuck in their skirt," the instructor was quoted as saying in Le Parisien daily Wednesday. The striptease lessons come amid a heated debate about G-strings in France, as teachers try to deal with a fashion craze among teenagers to expose their midriffs and wear thongs designed to peek out above low-cut trousers. Fueling the controversy, a French advertising sector association a few weeks ago called on underwear manufacturer Triumph to withdraw a billboard campaign for its Sloggi range of thongs which was condemned as widely offensive to women.
