Saturday was our Trans Picnic for all the local trans groups in the Cincinnati area, with approximately 70 people attending. I wore a flirty pleated jean skirt that was on the short side, but not too short. It's one of my favorite skirts to wear around the house, but I've hesitated to wear it in public for fear that it might not be age-appropriate. But Saturday seemed like a safe and welcoming day for being a little more fun with my clothes. I wasn't the only one, lol.
I was standing in the middle of the floor talking to a friend and eating something that kept both hands occupied. When the wind picked up at one point, I was apparently in an updraft, and the skirt tried to do a Marilyn Monroe. I just ignored it. Or rather, ENJOYED it. It’s OK, I had cheerleader tights on underneath it to be prepared for any eventualities. I don't think the skirt went up enough to expose the tights, but if it did, I'm sure someone got a thrill.
I can see from this post that I enjoyed it a LOT, and it left quite an impression on me. Sometimes it feels like I might be blurring the line between presenting as a woman and getting a thrill. I have to assume there is a certain sexual energy that cis women feel when they are dressed in a flirty, sexy outfit. Any cis women want to comment?
Do you feel that energy? It's also why I don't sleep well when I wear satin nightgowns. Even when I'm sleeping, I can feel the sexual/sensual stimulation, and I don't sleep as deep.
Sometimes it's the little things...
Sounds like a fun time! The little things can be the most rewarding.
I began wearing pantyhose and pumps when I was 4. I enjoyed it. It was a thrill. I loved showing off my legs in pantyhose. As I got into puberty, my pantyhose wearing became an intense erotic thrill. That led to wearing pantyhose out in public with guy shorts and clothes. I wanted more though. I bought some short girl's shorts then some platform wedges and began wearing that out.
Next came the long shirt, worn over very teeny shorts that looked like a short dress. There was an excitement, thrill and rush, including the erotic one I got from that, that I could not get from anything else. Then to further enhance that rush I would wear that outfit and go shopping for more clothes, especially pantyhose and shoes.
Getting noticed for what I was wearing and asked about it was incredibly scary at first but ended up becoming a thrill, especially an erotic one. Then one day I met a girl who asked me about the pantyhose I was wearing and buying. When I turned to speak to her, she was surprised I was not a girl. She liked my look but was surprised I didn't dress fully as a a girl. She didn't understand why I just did this partial dress up.
Over the next several months she helped me dress fully fem and create Patty. To wear shiny, sheer to waist pantyhose with sexy shoes, a too short dress, with nice large breasts and wild and free wavy hair was fun, exciting, a rush and a thrill including an erotic one. I got to attend many dress up, fetish based parties in college. I loved wearing pantyhose, showing my legs and getting compliments and attention for my legs. There was so many thrills there including the erotic one.
After college I didn't dress up for over twenty years. When I began again, I loved wearing pantyhose with heels and a short dress again. I met and socialized with other CD's, TG's and admirers. Most of them are way more complex then me. I just love wearing pantyhose and showing my legs. For that I am considered a fetish dresser. I love to dress like girls I would like to be intimate with. The erotic thrill again. I agree with that. I so understand
I can't say it's something I enjoy. I work in a city that can get very windy, with it then being funnelled by the buildings into very strong gusts in unpredictable directions. I have learend to keep one hand free for controlling any skirt I'm wearing. I'm afraid doing a Marilyn is something I *don't* desire 😉
Yes, I too straddle between the sexual thrill of dressing and the deeper feeling of being myself as a woman. I've gotten so much great advice here. An example is the type of panties I now wear. Someone here suggested Tactel panties from Jockey. I used to wear lingerie panties frilly etc. yet they weren't very practical. I tried the Tactel line from Jockey and they are just perfect. I noticed how much I love pretty patterns and how a nice fit makes me feel pretty. I like to wear a t-shirt dress and sandals and do housework. A pretty necklace and lipstick take me away from the sexual thrill and to this warmer, deeper, more relaxing presence. Things like yoga pants, jeans, and my favorite pink sweatshirt from Hanes all wrap me and envelop me in being a woman. The sexual feeling can be disappointing to be honest. It's fleeting, but a simple t-shirt dress, cami, panties, and sandals is so wonderful.
Great point, Katie. I just now remembered a distant memory when I was in the 5th or 6th grade at a parochial school. The girls wore uniforms. When we were out at recess, a small group of girls gathered near the cafeteria, which was a half level down next to the playground. There was a huge exhaust fan blowing out the heat from the cafeteria on warm days. The fan was at ground level when standing in the playground next to the fan. Girls would take turns running in front of the fan and their skirts flying up and showing off their panties, smiling and giggling the entire time. They would look over at us boys to see who was watching. So many feelings would run through me, including the thrill of the fantasy of me being one of the girls with their skirts fluttering in the breeze, with nothing under that skirt but soft, gentle panties.
Hello Lorie, I get what you mean, by doing the Marilyn Monroe. I do like going outside when the wind blows, the feeling of the wind lifting your skirt/dress is great. Maybe it is a sexual thing or just a fetish that we experience, but if you enjoy doing it why worry about what anyone else thinks. I still enjoy going out & playing Marilyn Monroe [ wearing a similar dress ] anyway. You mentioned satin nighties kept you awake, I have not got any satin ones, but I do wear silky/polyester ones, & I find them ok, do not have trouble sleeping. love, Helenmarie
Rachel, I think I can understand your dilemma. I'm talking from the experience in a "controlled" setting where it's all CDs and their SOs. I also knew my skirt wouldn't fly all the way up and expose me. In your situations, I'd be much more cautious, as well.
Hi Lorie, I've been meaning to send you a comment on this post. I've been re-reading the posts in this forum and finally got back to this one. I thought your skirt that day was age-appropriate and very cute. You wore it well. Since it was tighter around your legs, it was only the frilly pleats that would've raised up. Also the stitching above the pleats would've prevented a full raise up. Your Crossport and CDH sister, Brittney.
I don't think it's only a fetish thing.
I used to love seeing girls doing handstands or hanging upside down on the climbing frame at school aged 8 or 9, and wished I could do that in a skirt, dress and pretty knickers.
I find it very pretty, and certainly in my teens 20s and 30s there was an erotic element - I'm a heterosexual man, after all.
I've had a couple of games of Marilyn on the pier at Brighton, and so have many GGs - without doubt some do it on purpose.
My current point of view is that I love the feeling although try not to be overt about it like some GGs!
There is excitement in wondering if anybody saw - more, I think, than in knowing...
Love Laura
Thanks, Brittney, it's good to hear it from another's perspective. I'm beginning to see that it takes something pretty radical to fall into the "age inappropriate" category. I don't go for spandex, or skirts up to HERE, so I guess I'm safe. lol.
Peace, Lorie
