What Is The Fascination With Panties?
It seems the threads that are most popular are the ones that have the word panty or panties in the title. Maybe I just don't get it but what is so titilating about an undergarment that was meant to be functional? Sure, lingerie can be sexy, but to me, only on a GG. A guy in lingerie is a guy in lingerie. I'm unimpressed. Same with panties.
Maybe I'm an old coot or a prude or just a clueless member here. It really doesn't matter. The fact is, to me, I just don't get the fascination with panties. Yeah, when I was in grade school and some cute girl unintentionally showed her panties, my friends and I would be all up in a tizzy. But now? Well, I've just outgrown that fascination.
Earrings, shoes, skirts, skorts and all those things that others can see? Yes, that's what I am into. But panties are just something to wear under all that. Maybe because I always wear them it's no big deal. Maybe I'm missing something. Whatever the case, I'd rather focus on my outward appearance than what's underneath.
I'd love to hear open and honest replies, especially from the GGs here. If they say I'm out of line, I stand corrected. I see the GGs as our barometer to eventual social acceptance. And no, I am not spewing BS to gain favor with the GGs. What I said here is what I feel now and have always felt. Even if all the GGs tell me I'm all wrong.
What's up with the panties?
Good thread Julie,
I too see a preponderance of focus on the subject of panties, but that must say something about their importance to crossdressers in general, at least as far as this forum has shown.
I must admit they were a fasination for me for a long time, but as I started to explore other aspects of feminine clothing, the novelty started to wear off. (But not completely.) :D This is only my unprofessional theory, but perhaps it could have something to do with the fact that it seems like a lot of us started our journeys into crossdressing with exploring our mother or sister's underwear as a child. So at a very formative age, our first imprint of "femaleness" might have been with panties. For such a significant turning point in our lives, that article of clothing that may have been our first connection to feeling like the "girl within" would be a powerful, talisman if you will, that could carry on for the rest of our lives.
But, hey, that's just my brain f@rt on the subject. Who the heck knows. :rolleyes:
