I have tried it, just not for six months. I do have bills to pay. And if you're going to cheat, what's the point?

Men did wear corsets! In the 1830s, when the narrow waistline was in vogue for gentlemen's wear, there did exist a waist-cincher-type garment to help one achieve that look. However, the biggest reason men didn't wear corsets on a daily basis is------ no boobs. Contrary to popular belief, the main function of a corset was to support the bust in the days before brassieres. :-)
