I don't see it as that at all. I read this as if it is reassuring women that whatever their feelings on sex, they are perfectly justified. They don't need to suppress or otherwise alter the way they think about sex, because however they feel is right for them.

Naturally, sex with a long-term partner will be more fulfilling because (hopefully) the woman will be open about her desires and the man more understanding of these.

I don't feel that the author was saying that women can only feel sexy in lingerie; rather that women who DO feel sexy in lingerie should not be ashamed of this and they should embrace it -- even if they are not "the type". There is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing comfortable clothes, nor is there anything wrong with wearing lingerie.

Ultimately the article aims to help women come to terms with feelings they may have about sex and sexuality and encouraging them to feel good about themselves regardless of whether or not their views match up with what society expects of them.
