I am constantly surprised as I try new things the pleasures we deny ourselves as men. Case in point, my first earrings, big gold hoops, arrived today. I put them on and some hot pink lipstick and what fun they are to wear! All big and jiggly every time my head moves. They are clip ons but you would never know from the front. Why do we deny ourselves all these fun little things the girls have gotten to enjoy for so long? So happy I d3fided to start to play!
Great question! Where did you order your earrings from? I’ve been looking around and haven’t found much or anything I really like.

When we crossdress we’re making a personal statement that we will not be denied. Obviously.
The social barriers to being ourselves are slowly crumbling.
Go out in any big city and you’ll see guys, straight guys, wearing earrings and jewelry. Soccer dads wearing skirts. Hipsters wearing makeup and sporting color on their nails.
I could go on. Most of those guys don’t consider themselves crossdressers or non-binary.
Obviously some of us are in clearly difficult situations. If that’s you I sympathize. I hope things improve for you.
That said, I would offer that many of us can do more than we realize. Unfounded fear holds us back.
Maybe….just maybe…..the biggest barrier to being yourself is the reflection in the mirror.

I know exactly what you mean. I also have to wear clip-ons and I’m fine with that, but they are so rare to find in most retail stores. I got lucky this past summer and found 5 pairs at a local retail chain.
And just before Christmas, at the same store, I found clip-on converters for pierced earrings. I think I’m going to be in trouble this year as I foresee my earring collection growing exponentially.
Hi Alice; May 2021 I went to a Claire’s at an open-air outlet mall. When I asked, they didn’t have “clip-ons”. Instead, I found and bought a triple pack of “plunger-spring” earrings. It had a pair of “gold”, a pair of “silver”, and a pair of black 1.5″ diameter hoops.
Brittney, I hadn’t heard of plunger-spring earrings. I assume those have a little spring on the back to hold the earrings in place, similar to a clip-on?
I’ve also found that thrift stores, such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. are great places to buy clip-on earrings. Of course, you always want to clean them before using them, but they usually have a great selection and prices always seem to be reasonable.
Hugs,
Holly

I had my ears pierced in the 90s as a teenager when it was the fad. All of my friends got one, I got both and am benefiting now 🙂
I like long earrings and ordered two silver pairs from Amazon. They have a huge collection, as Megan pointed out – different types, sizes, shapes, colors…. I have been wearing them everyday since they arrived, and change them around throughout the day. Absolutely love them!
I bought a pair of wide gold clip-ons from the TONLUYAX store on Amazon. They look nice and are pretty comfortable, you will feel them a little occasionally but it’s not a sharp pain. They are large enough to get noticed under longer hair but not too large that the extra weight pulls too much on your ear.
I just had my ears pierced 6 weeks ago. I now have a pair of feminine earrings I can fit into the same backing for another few months until the ear is fully healed, and another pair that they ran out of and are ordering (including a pair to ship to me).
I love wearing my earrings. I wear clip ons and have quite a few pair, most of which I made myself by converting pierced earrings to clip ons. I buy the converters at JoAnn Fabrics or Michaels. Both have jewelry making sections and have other supplies to make your own. I’ve also made bracelets and necklaces. They are fun to make and wear. A few months ago my wife and I were at a holiday street fair that had people selling jewelry. I stopped and was looking at earrings (actually found some clip ons) and she asked if I had thought about getting my ears pierced. I told her that I had but didn’t give it too much thought. We had a discussion about it and she said she thought it would be a good idea for Suzanne but wouldn’t want to see her husband with pierced ears. As I only dress at home and being concerned about having to explain it to family (mostly grandkids) and friends I’ll stick with my clip ons (at least for now).
We do go for mani-pedi’s together and in the winter I do get color on my toes. I also shave my legs in the winter which I enjoy. A couple more of life’s little pleaasures.

SuzanneWe don’t have to deny ourselves the pleasures of anything that women do or wear. As men, we are doing whatever we want including dressing, looking and acting as women, as realistically as possibly. That is what I do, and want to do, I’m not planning on denying anything to myself any more. That’s also why I’m here, I can’t wait to explore femininity even more.
But Megan, you are right on about it being a pleasure. I’m ready for more.
Thanks for the post Megan, I’ve always been a go big or go home type of girl so when I got my ears pierced I got them double pierced and love it. big hoop earrings with Studs right behind them. I absolutely love it. I think I’m hooked on earrings more than shoes.
