Oh, you mean that people have to participate before useful discussions happen? I thought we could all just join and read what everyone else wrote, LOL.

Okay...here goes...

I used to feel a desire to be treated like a woman. Maybe a secret desire to feel sexy like one.

When I met my second wife, I told her about wanting to be forced feminized.

That eventually led to her telling me that she always saw some feminine traits in in me and that her adult kids had remarked the same way. That was a shock and a surprise to me. BUT it has lead me to accept and become more feminine.

I always wear panties (she gave away my male underwear). I usually wear a bra and (around home), makeup and earrings. I am shaved from the neck down., I like the smooth feel. I usually wear skirts around home during the evening.

I have come to accept that I am "somewhere inbetween" and I miss it when I am not feminine. I like to feel feminine even though I know I will never "pass".

Hi

I dress as a woman when I am at home all of the time. I go for random ventures out to bars dressed in short dresses with bright colored tights. I get to go suck some cock in the parking lot or mens room but it blows my mind how often a woman picks me up.

Nice spread of topics there Steele ...

I came because I like it when my wife takes the intiiative. At 51, it might be the only way I ever get any.
Eventually she got interested in tounging my ears, neck, and perineum ... and nipples... just coz it makes me wiggle and moan so much.(Never was sensitive there when I was a young stud)
I have very much come to enjoy being "done by her" in every way possible. The passive side of me wants to be found soft and attractive, so my somewhat bearish looks are a bit of an obstacle.

Mentally I have changed a lot also. Cuddling is ok now. I have changed MUCH and she has adapted so that we can have a sex life. Subsequently, her being ok with all this, I am less likely to have any guilt or hesitation about feeling unnatural. Keep in mind, I was a model str8 man for many years. And was completley happy that way. It took about a decade to get "repositioned" in my own skin and in our marriage.

Still, she thinks it's downright weird that I like wearing a silky skirt, blouse, swimsuit,, hose....and really like the idea of being passive and "taken". I couldn't pass to save my life, much too brawny (well defined arms, broad but wiry shoulders, big hands, big wrist bones, knees and ankles, hard muscular legs without a lick of softening on them... and LOTs of dark facial hair. (I am not really a stuffed tiger, but I do like the idea of being a stuffed kitty).

And I am dying to hear the perspective-reversal from the ladies...

I plan to follow up with answers to the individual items in your question, hopefully your question will stimulate more minds ... and glands..

As a new member I have to say I really enjoy wearing womens lingerie, It would do alot of me some good to get intouch with their fem side. Its a feeling unlike any other when I slip on my seamed nylons after shaving my leggs. I have been wearing womens clothing since I was 13 years old. I know how much a women go thru to dress for their partners. going out in public as a women is heaven. You get to a point in life that you just dont care what others think, Just being comfortable in your own skin. Kudos to all who try to be a women

It's funny. I'm a woman, but I have little to no interest in:

women's lingerie
women's clothes
using make-up
belly piercings
shaving legs/body

or, and I can't believe you forgot this one: High Heels!!!!

To me, these are all objects of oppression. I hate being forced to feel feminine. To me, it feels powerless. Isn't that ironic?
