Small

[Lucy Long Legs]

I began dressing partly because of my small dimensions in a certain area which result in inadequate performance. I have always been attracted to women but right from my teenage years, my physical dimensions and attendant lack of masculinity mean that women very soon lose interest.
I first dressed as a result of a taunt from a short-term girlfriend who felt my build more suited to female underwear; we both enjoyed it and were able to achieve a satisfactory relationship. Later, I bought many clothes, makeup etc and found that women are intrigued and sometimes excited by the prospect of a feminine male. I overcame my initial resistance and now enjoy it and cannot contemplate a relationship any other way.
Does this experience ring any bells?

[Cynthia Anne]

I couldn't hear any bells! But happiness is only achieved by those who work for it! I'm glad you found yours! Hugs!

[Persephone]

Hi Lucy!

It sounds like you figured out how to get it all together! Cool!

Hugs,
Persephone.

[Jannine]

Nup,
No bells for me either, baby. but one thing I firmly believe is that women love 'another gal' whom they can share things with
and to talk and do girly things. With us ladies our partners really are getting the best of both worlds, so good for you!!

Tonight asI am dressed head to toe as a female, I comtemplate the size of my penis. At times, I feel so feminine, that I wish that I were totally a girl.

My interest in cross-dressing started pretty differently ...

But some of the beauty of this place is the huge variety of life experiences, and the different reasons we all do what we do.

[sissystephanie]

I also did not hear any bells! However, I am also small in certain areas! But that did not prevent me from fathering two wonderful children. My older sisters got me hooked on crossdressing at age 6, and I just grew up with it. As Whitt said, the beauty is the huge variety of life experiences, and the different reasons we all do what we do!!

I think that part of what developed my crossdressing was a lack of relationships with members of the opposite sex.

I'm actually pretty average (according to internet statistics) in a certain area...and wouldn't want it any bigger.

I guess it was ultimately curiosity, not anything really linked to physical stuff (my having been really skinny for most of my lift notwithstanding).

[SusanQ]

I also have the same small development in that area. I always attributed it to my premature birth, since I also have unusually short arms and legs for someone my height, and they are hairless. I think that I really started wearing girls panties because they just fit me very well. Even now, as an adult, there is virtually no perceptible bulge in the front of my panties. I have thought for a long time that I really was intended to be female, but I'm too old , and too set in my ways to make that huge a lifestyle change. And I have zero desire to have relationships with men.

[demibra]

De ja vu with the small size and great panty fit and feel. Wasn't the reason I started dressing, but certainly makes me wonder if my feminine side is being enhanced by being small.

[joannemarie barker]

yep I'm small which is kinda why I like wearing thongs :) never bothered me in a sexual way,I think the guys like being the bigger man lol :)

[Lucy Long Legs]

Thanks for the interesting and honest replies. I'm glad to see two people who feel like I do.

[linda allen]

I never associated the size of my genitals with crossdressing. I never even considered a link until I read this thread.

We all have our own reasons for being who we are so if it works for you, fine. :love:

[deebra]

Small is definately a blessing now for us cders where several years ago big was what every guy wanted to be. Isn't it funny how what was a deficit is now an asset. Thongs and panties were made for a flat area and when you try to put 10 pounds of potatoes in a 2 lb. sack it can get uncomfortable and trying to keep it in a thong can be chalenging but we manage. And yes I think being small makes one feel much more feminine when wearing a thong, panty, tight jeans or dress. So at this stage of our lives count your blessings if you are so blessed. In this case the glass being half empty is better than being half full.

[kimdl93]

LLL, I do think that there are women who are attracted to effeminate males and they can make wonderful partners for people like us. My wife, for example, acknowledged having a long lesbian relationship prior to meeting me. Although I'm not physically small, we are able to fill aspects of each other's emotional and physcial needs in a way that works for us.

[seanmuscle]

Petite CDs are the best. Think of it as a blessing. You were meant to be a girl. Why do you think men are attracted to smaller women? Because we like to protect her and take care of her. Nothing like lifting a petite girl and holding her in your arms. The tiny feet and hands would make a man lose control lol

[Tina L.]

I too have asked myself if me being very small in that certain area has any thing to do with my wanting to wear panties and such. I asked my gf if she thought i would wear panties if i were average or above size, and she said you'll never know. LOL

[SheriM]

I am not small although I wish I were. I don't think size has much to do with the desire to crossdress. I've tried thongs but they don't even begin to hold me in. When panty shopping, I look for a bikini or hip hugger with a wider gusset area. I have way too many panties. Wait, a girl can't have too many panties.

[Lucy Long Legs]

Do you think it's just a coincidence that I am under-endowed and I like to present myself as a woman? I can't believe I would still want to if I was a testosterone laden hunk!

[joannemarie barker]

I think it's just a coincidence.only a few of us girls have posted that we are small below,law of averages says there's gonna be a few of us :)

[the_me]

I guess I'm average myself; nothing incredible really... honestly don't think of the little guy all that much anymore anyway.

After browsing a couple websites and a steroid forum about testosterone affecting penis size just now thanks to this interesting post... seems it would only affect/determine the size around the early stages of puberty (and one case of MUCH earlier (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15921181?dopt=Abstract)... interesting.).

I'm curious about a few things Lucy... but rather than ask a bunch of probing questions to satisfy that curiosity, I just have to say that it sounds likely to be coincidence!

Coincidence, unless someone here can point to credible research that low testosterone levels / higher estrogen levels makes men want to dress feminine?

[Avana]

that's a feature i wish i had sometimes.... let's just say at least there will be a lot of raw material to work with when i get SRS haha




Coincidence, unless someone here can point to credible research that low testosterone levels / higher estrogen levels makes men want to dress feminine?

theres a social layer in between - men who feel emasculated feel this way due to societal expectations and so turn to another (feminine) set of societal expectations because it is the socially sanctioned 'opposite'.

[Ellen Renee Edwards]

There seems to be a "smallness" trend going on here. I know the polls were eliminated from this site a few years ago, but has anyone seen a poll here or on other sites addressing size and crossdressing? BTW, I'm in the Petite category but Plus for the rest of me.
Love, Ellen

[Josey]

Being small has some real advantages when crossdressing. Your undergarments fit better has you are not likely required to do any tucking. Lastly, ditto Sissystephanie remaeks about birthing children.

[Jannine]

It is not a problem. We are told time and again by females and the popular media that size does not matter. Sexually speaking, technique is the all important requirement. But on the other hand, being small would be taken as a huge advantage to possibly all of our sisters here, I for one would envy another with that feature.

[Billie Jean]

I'm not small but I'm average size for a GG my age. I'm 5'7" amd wear a size 12 dress. My feet are kind of big though I wear a size 11 m.I have been told that I look good when dressed. Billie Jean

[sometimes_miss]

I think the term 'small' when pertaining to genital size is all relative, and I think a lot of us wind up comparing ourselves to the monsters we see in porn, so of course we feel we 'come up short'. I was told that mine was 'tiny' when I was a little kid, when someone used that as his reasoning that I was really supposed to be a girl, so that thought stayed with me, well, forever. And while part of me wishes that I were short and slender, so that I might better have been able to be the girl I expected to be, another part faces reality, and knows that I never could be the genuine girl I thought I was going to become. We live the hand we are dealt. And having panties fit, well, yes it is kind of nice.

[Wendy_Marie]

Like you I also lack girth and length in a certain area of my male anatomy...I count it as a mixed blessing though especially when tucking to fit into my tightest jeans...

[MarciManseau]

I've always been small all over. When I was young, I was picked on because I was small and thin. Now I'm delighted to be petite. The boys who picked on me when I was preteen and small are now the kind that make passes at me. Life can be so ironic :)

[Patti Remick]

As Ive been dressing since I was very young (about 6) I dont think the size of my genitals was a reason for me to start CDg. But as I grew older and had the opportunity to see the genitals of other males (ie locker room, etc) I knew that my genitals were smaller that most others. I recent years with the advent of the internet I have come to understand that my male genitals are very small for my overall size (5'8"). Without getting into specifics which I know is not condoned on this forum (and I respect that) I will say that Im very small both in terms of my penis and my testicles/scrotum. When I was in my teens, and 20s I hated the fact that I was small and that was based on only what I had seen in real life. It only got worse when I could see on the internet that I was so much below the average - and Im not talking about porn stars, etc. I felt cursed and ashamed. But now, within the context of my CDg, I look at it as somewhat of a blessing. In my desire for a feminine body image having a 'flat front' is extremely important to me. And having very small male genitals makes having a flat front much less difficult to achieve.

Its still an issue that cuts me both ways - damned and blessed. Ive wondered for a long time now if the my CDg and my having small male genitals is somehow related. I know that many CDrs have 'normal' or even 'large' sized male genitals so I understand that small genitals alone does not a CDr make. But Ive always wondered about that connection in terms of my own personal self.

Luv and hugs
Patti

[KarenSusan]

I am very small also. I used to hate it when I was young (phys ed locker room) but now it's great. A pair of panties and pantyhose are all I need for a complete tuck with a perfectly flat front and when I walk I can hear my nylons whisper.

[susan brzezina]

It's interesting that there is a trend with prematurity ( 3 nonths for me} smallness in size and cd'ing. Makes a lot of sense.

Thanks
Susan

I have always felt left out in this area and it has consumed much of my thinking time trying to cope with it. I still have feelings of inadequacy to this day. I have two sons by my second wife and I am now with my third wife and we have been married for 22 years. Bless her heart she tells me that I am just fine and she really enjoys the intimate side of our relationship and things don't need to change (but I do think it's getting to be Viagra time), but I am still not really confident about it all. I don't recall this problem as being the main reason I started to CD but it may have very well been a subconscious contributor. I just always thought that female clothing was so much prettier and felt so much prettier than clothing for men. One positive to all this though is that there is less to tuck. As Monty Python would say "Always look on the bright side of life".

YES it does very loudly

My thoughts to my femininity were formed pre puberty so my size played no part

thanks for this post lucy:

I havent thought much of it lately but I guess I too have a we-we.But just as Susan said, a pair of waist smoother pantyhose
and a light pad is all I need for a smooth front tuck.When I wear mini skirts and dresses and leggings my look is always ladylike....dana.

[Ellen Renee Edwards]

Remembering the statue of David, do you suppose David was one of us? Or maybe Michelangelo?

[Lucy Long Legs]

I'm pleased I started this thread - there are plenty of us petite girls out there. It seems obvious that a lack of physical masculinity would encourage dressing. More stories please!

Lucy thanks for the post. I have been thinking "long and hard," metaphorically speaking, about replying to it for some time now? :)

I have "always" been tall for my age (I was 6' + by age 13), but when they were handing out "brains," I thought they said "trains?" So, I absent-mindedly replied, "Thanks, but no thanks, I have one!" However, I don't recall my next response to whether I wanted a "long leg," or not, either; but as it turned out, I "must have" repeated my absent-minded response, because they skipped me on that one, too! :daydreaming:

The resultant of which, has been a devastating life-time of shame and abject misery for me, starting with being laughed at as an underage (i.e., an 11 year-old, therefore, illegally in attendance BTW, my father was the Scoutmaster) Boy Scout being initiated (Shoes or shorts?) into the Order of the Arrow at Camp Victoria in southern Arizona. :Angry3:

Long story, short. Well, it's a blessing now, as I don't have any trouble "tucking" what-so-ever. I simply don my Marilyn Monroe Hi-waist shaping briefs (see my forum post on "Tucking" elsewhere), and viola - Misti in "short" shorts. :devil:

Perchance a (derivative) quotation from a work by John Donne, in which he explores the interconnectedness of humanity, better describes our current "Blessing in CD(isguise)?"

"Perchance [s]he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that [s]he knows not it tolls for h[er]; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that.... No [wo]man is an island, entire of itself; every [wo]man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.... Because I am involved in [wo]mankind, ... therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee." - John Donne (1572-1631), Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions, Meditation XVII: Nunc Lento Sonitu Dicunt, Morieris

Ernest Hemingway helped to make the phrase, "For whom the bell tolls," commonplace in the language when he chose to use the quotation for the title of his 1940-published book about the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway refers back to 'for whom the bells tolls' and to 'no man is an island' to demonstrate and to examine his feelings of solidarity with the allied groups fighting the fascists.

All CD's are still fighting "the fascist’s," and will continue to do so, "until death us do part?" :D
