Could you cut it?

[Kate Simmons]

Many of us have had the opportunity over the years to be en femme for an extended period of time, days, weeks, months, etc. How did it set with you if you have done it? Do you think you could do it all day, every day transitioning notwithstanding? The longest I have done it is about a month and it kept me busy just keeping appearance up. I'm very hairy by nature, so it was shave, shave, shave. Body shave every other day and shave my face twice a day. Not to mention playing the role that everyone you interact with expects of a woman. It gave me a lot of experience in any case and helped to put me in touch with my feelings.

So, after that would I still entertain the idea of being a woman full time? Possibly, as being in touch with my feelings gives me the ability to fulfill either the female or male role equally. At this point in time I choose to be male, however, and keep the female as a "nice to have". Even so, I feel I could fulfill the female role 24/7 if I chose to do so and would fulfill it fairly well. So how does everyone else feel about this? Could you fulfill the female role 24/7 if you chose to do so?

[linda allen]

I couldn't fulfill a female role 24/7 because when I take my clothes off to shower, I see definate male signs. And of course there's the shaving to deal with as well. I've tried sleeping in forms, wig, and padded panties but I can't sleep well in that getup. And of course, going to the bathroom reminds me that I'm a male, even if I sit.

There are things I need/want to do around the house that would get my girl things dirty or sweaty so even with the opportunity to stay female, I usually give it up at some point in the day and get to work.

If I could take a pill or have a spell cast over me and instantly have a female body, I could handle it. Otherwise, the answer to your question is "no".

[Crissy Kay]

That's a no for me too. I think the most time I have spent enfem has been about four hours, at any one time. After that, I tend to get twichy, and have to get all the stuff off, and go back to my male self.

[Talisker]

NO. Its fun for a few hours every now and then. Doing the makeup is fun but guess it would quickly become a chore everyday. I like being lazy at times. Like it just the way it is. Man 24/7 and woman when i feel like it.

[Nikki A.]

I would like to try, but I don't think I would be able to do it. With full electrolosis and some FFS maybe I could. But even then I'm not sure it would be what I want. I'd be happy to flow from one gender to the other than have to be either.

[Rachel Morley]

2 weekends and a week, so the longest time I've spent en femme 24/7 was 9 days straight. I loved it but it did present a few challenges of having to push my envelope by having to go places and so things in mainstream public when dressed. Would I do it again? Yes

[Lexi Moralas]

The longest I've spent was a whole day. I would love the opportunity to go a weekend or a whole week. But I think any more than that would be to much. For me cding is like a vacation no matter how much fun it is, how much you looked forward to it or how fondly you will look back on it. Eventually you just want to go home and get back to your regular life.
Lexi is an amazing place to visit! But I don't think I could live there

[Ressie]

8 hours has been the longest for me. Dressing for an entire weekend would be the first step in the direction of dressing 24/7. Too bad there are responsibilities that would prevent dressing full time. Now if someone would pay me a comfortable wage to dress full time I'd be willing to give it a try!

[Beverley Sims]

Kate,
Not really,I have had a number of three week stints and two that have lasted more than a month.
Six weeks when I was twenty was very hard to switch back.
I in fact had a break for two days out of necessity and then another three weeks.
The longer I went then, I may have never come back.
The extended time is more of an opportunity thing for me.

[Kate Simmons]

It seems like many of us have the need to retreat back to the "safety" of manhood after awhile I guess. Nice thing to do but wouldn't want to "live it" it looks like. Curious but good insight into the "CD Mystique" the way I see it.Also food for thought for SO's

[suchacutie]

Kate, I'm not sure it's the "safety" so much for me as that part of my life is male, and I like it too. For me I don't think I could shut down any part of my life for more than about three days. I'm also not happy with Tina's appearance for just an hour or so, because it just doesn't seem to do her justice. So the minimum time for me is the better part of a day, with 3 days probably being the limit for Tina if we were swapping genders regularaly (i.e. 3 days in each gender).

[Princess Grandpa]

I've not had the opportunity to spend multiple days dressed as Rita. A more likely prospect if I were comfortable out in public. As it is I don't see it happening for me. Might be interesting to experience. A lot of work!

[Jennifer in CO]

For the first few weeks it was "fun". For the next few weeks it was a chore. For the next 4 years it was an adventure....

[Kate Simmons]

What Tina said is partly the key for some of us I think. We are built to regularly "swap" genders, so get to pretty much experience the best of both worlds. Seems to work for me anyway.

[Jodi]

A week is the longest for me. Tha6t was enough. Was glad to get back to guy mode.

Jodi

[Lex321]

No for me too. The longest I have gone was 8 hours working from home for the day. I was ready to be done and go ride a quad and other guys things.

[Jeri Ann]

I have had many opportunities over the years to spend 7 days at a time in female mode. Every single time when the window of opportunity was closing it was with extreme regret and remorse that I returned to my male life. Dressing is very easy for me because; I keep what little hair wants to grow on my legs epilated, my brows are thinned and arched, ears are pierced, because of electrolysis many years ago I haven't shaved in thirty years. Because of so much practice and the naturalness of it, I can dress to the nines (makeup, clothes, wig, jewelry, etc.) in about 35 minutes (if I have decided what to wear and don't change my mind). All these changes occurred gradually over many years. I am sure the have been noticed but never mentioned. I am eagerly anticipating the next opportunity.

The longest I've spent en femme was 8 hours. It took me about an hour and a half to get ready but it was worth it. I booked a nice hotel room with a little semi private balcony and just relaxed but after that 8 hours I was ready get out of the skirt and heels and back into jeans and a t-shirt. I'm hoping to have another dress up vacation soon.

[alicia45]

I did it for a week last year. Aside from the padding, what I found most troublesome was my facial hair. I'm not quite ready to give it up to removal, so the twice-a-day shave (and probably needed more) routine put a damper on the continuity. I like both of my genders a great deal, so I could conceivably deal with en-femme in week-long spurts. However, as trivial as it may seem, the facial shaving gets in the way for now.

[Raychel]

I doubt that I could cut it,,,,,,
It is fun to dress up, But for full time, It is unlikely that I could do it
I have way to many guy chores that get in the way.

[Violet-13]

No, no way in hell I could

[Mandie79]

Would love to more but can't with the job and life I have and the people I know. Not quite a full day is the most time so far. But under my boy clothes now that is a different story.

[kimdl93]

Yeah, it's a definite, certain, positively ready, willing and able.

[julia marie]

I couldn't do 24x7 at this point in life. If today's options (SRS etc.) were available before I was married and had kids, I would have explored a complete change. Too old now, given the time and expense a complete change would involve. As far as keeping the male parts and doing en femme, I can do a day or two at a time now, but I'm not ready to present to the neighbors, the clerks in the local market, etc., considering I'm in a pretty small town where you see the same faces all the time.

[Helen_Highwater]

This for me is a timely thread as I'm just off for a weeks holiday and plan to spend at least 2 full days enfem as well as most evenings. I would like the opportunity to go fully dressed for a longer period just to experience the downs as well as the ups. My problem would be I'd starve as I'm not confident enough to push a trolly around the isles dressed or eat out.
