Love to be tied-up 
Amen. If I crossdress I don't want to look silly or stupid. I want to look like a hot woman.captured_prize wrote: 8 months ago Very interesting read @tiedinbluetights. Just like your wife, I really don't like the the sissification/feminization terminology as well as the whole humiliation aspect of it. Something about it has always rubbed me the wrong way. When I crossdress, I don't consider it humiliating at all, it's just me expressing another side of myself. Honestly, the whole sissification thing comes off as both misogynistic and even homophobic which is why I don't associate with that label in any way.
Me too. It's not a body dysmorphia. I love the way I look as a guy.illest wrote: 8 months ago I feel like I'm in this weird spot that I can't explain. I don't want to change gender; I actually really like being a guy.
100%. I'm not where I'm fine looking like a guy while wearing female attire. When I dress up it's to where I want to make myself up as indisguishable from a guy as possible. Used to be just a wig, lipstick and eyeliner pencil with a close shave was enough, but now I've evolved to fake lashes, eyeliner, lip plumper gloss, contour, eyeshadow, concealee(to hide what little facial hair I have left after shaving), highlighter. I lowkey watch people like Vladimir on YT to get the best tips(as he's a rock solid straight Russian guy that looks ridiculously female when dressed up) and I'm at the point now when by the time I finish(usually roughly 45 minutes to a hour give or take) I look so feminine it's like a whole other personality.blowthelights wrote: 3 months agoAmen.

Love to be tied-up Not sure who said that last phrase but I definitely share his opinion!NR47 wrote: 3 months ago I've got some interest in this sort of thing. I like wearing stockings and over the knee/thigh highs socks, a corset, certain kinds of women's panties that have enough coverage for male anatomy, and I have a few kilts and skirts, even a pair of heeled boots. I'm not trying to look exactly like a girl by any means, but for me it's just fun. I think if you look way back to men's fashion from the Renaissance period all the way up to the beginning of the 19th century, you can see examples of many such things in men's clothing which for most of recent history has been regulated only to women's. I also like the femboy style that's become more widespread, but then also if you watch some designer fashion shows or look through a Vogue magazine you can often see more "feminine" elements being incorporated into male fashions. Unfortunately for guys like me not walking down a runway every day, most of it has to be kept to simply playing dress up at home. I'm not into the whole humiliation thing either.
