Hi, I'm Jo! 🙂

Hello ladies and...well, I guess it's pretty much just ladies here. My "name" is Joanna, please call me Jo. I've been crossdressing for, well, about as long as I can remember. The first time I ever wore ladies' things was when I was about 5 or 6 I guess. My aunt and uncle were house guests and were staying in my bedroom. I was in there for some reason, and my aunt's suitcase was open. A pair of satin panties caught my eye, and I just couldn't resist trying them on. So I jumped around on the bed in them for a minute, put them away carefully so she would never know, and I've been sneaking in and out of panties, dresses, skirts, you name it, ever since.

I've only been caught once by my mother, who was a bit shocked, but not upset. I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. She was willing to talk about it as much as I wanted, which was very little, because I was basically humiliated. I never mentioned the subject to her again, and she's never brought it up since then. I do regret violating her privacy by going through her things, but I think she realized I only did that because she was my only access to feminine things, not out of any kind of mother fetish or fixation.

I've owned a lot of my own girly clothes, which I have bought, purged, bought and purged again several times, always fearing being discovered when moving apartments, doing laundry, etc. I am ashamed to admit that I've violated a lot more women's privacies than just my mother, because I seem incapable, when given the opportunity, to resist trying on other women's clothes. Past girlfriends, female roommates, and now my wife, have all had their things borrowed and tried on by me, without their knowledge. This is one shameful chapter of my life, however, that I'm now hoping will come to a close, because I recently opened up to my wife of 3 years about my cross-dressing. She has been incredibly supportive and open-minded, wayyyyy more so than I deserve! I came clean to her, told her everything from my past, and she still loves me, of course, more than ever, and I love her. She has warmed up to it in stages, and she's now totally comfortable with me spending an evening at the apartment dressed, which for me has been exhilarating!

I don't know exactly where my unique gender-bending escapades will lead me, but I know that I have an amazing wife who will be right there with me, no matter what. And now I feel like I should wrap this up because I've written a novel. But I wanted to also say that I joined this forum in order to make some online friends for support and encouragement (both giving and receiving) and to learn more about myself and my relationship, so please message me any time and I'll be sure to respond rapidly!
