seize the day for lingerie? More like: rip through life and men

Enjoy life... and men to the fullest

My comment:

You can bite into life, as for men... well, it just wouldn't sound right. I tried "devour life... and men", still too strong. I came up with something bland, but it would get the meaning across, at the expense of the pun.
