English term or phrase: "I've got a secret"
Some modern writers believe that the deliberate concealment of certain parts of the body originated not as a way of discouraging sexual interest, but as a clever device for arousing it. According to this view, clothes are the physical equivalent of remarks like "I've got a secret"; they are a tease, a come-on.

"Escondo lo que te gustaría descubrir / ver/destapar"


Explanation:
Hola, Ana.
Ya has elegido, pero no me he podido resistir a dar mi versión algo "pilla" del "secreto".
La ropa "esconde", "cubre", "tapa" encantos y...desencantos.
:)

Con mi afecto.
