As part of a new year's commitment, I have made an extra effort to exercise more. Exercise is not fun and I have to force myself to get on the treadmill for a half hour or more.

I also have what some of you call the "nylon gene." I enjoy wearing a quality pair of pantyhose. The comfort and support they offer is satisfying to me, not to mention that they make my masculine legs looks so much softer and more feminine. One day, I though to try wearing a pair of pantyhose under my workout shorts and t-shirt and doing a half-hour treadmill workout with the pantyhose on. What a difference! Not only does it seem to make the workout go faster, but the feeling of the nylon caressing the legs with each step is tremendous. Of course, I was home alone at the time...wife at work.

I have always been hesitate to "underdress" with pantyhose or other feminine things out of the fear that we all share. This small step may be a good one on the road to doing so more often.
