    I think there is a big difference between flashing your panties and stocking tops and porn. Obviously everyone likes different things and if you are into it you shouldn't force it on others but flashing a stocking top seems pretty tame considering what else could be flashed!

    Wow...well I'm still new here but after this post remind me not to submit pictures. I thought it was about being open and having fun and a little sexy doing that. But guess I was wrong. Also about the outside people looking at this site...they already think those things before even looking at this site. And arn't you the same ones that say who cares what people think or say?....I didn't know showing a little panty and stocking top was that harsh...but once again I'm wrong............WOW...this is the second post I have read criticism on people's pictures. Well I was going to go get my make-up done and put on my best to show everyone but I'm scared to now. I think I'll pass on that......WOW

    Interesting discussion, I'm a little surprised at some of the responses here especially since all humans are sexual beings. Trying not to look sexual or be perceived as sexual just in not realistic.

    I like the notion of stocking top flashing as I find it provocative or alluring more than straight out sexy. I personally don't find panty flashing at all attractive. I've seen pics here of a bit of stocking top flashing that I thought were tastefully done and reflected positively on the individual, CD or not.

    I haven't posted any pics because I lost all of mine in computer mishap but I', planning to get some taken soon...flashing stockings isn't really my thing, at least not on purpose. :-0

    I agree with Emily and "Searching." A little stocking top showing may be O.K., but panties, No! There are other places for that!

    I recently posted a pic showing more than a "hint" of my stocking tops..it was the whole works, in yer face. Sexy...yes I thought so. But vulgar and pornographic ? Certainly not. I've seen plenty of lingerie ads that are much more revealing. What do you think ?

    I see no porno there. Lingerie is part of the package so showing ourselves in it should be no big deal, as long as it is tastefully done. If you had been in sheer lingerie you would have crossed the line, but this? No.

    [SIZE=4]After reading all the posts on this topic and re-thinking my original post, I have to conclude that we are each going to support what we feel is the appropriate level of picture taking due to our own interpretation of femininity. It goes back to the base question of why we crossdress.[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4]When we crossdress what are we trying to portray? The answers show the relative age of responders, (yes, Tamara, I guess I am prudish in that I don't care for the stocking tops or panties showing) but I work among women in the real world every day and don't see that type of behavior. In fact, I have never seen a GG wear stockings. I see people that are going to fetish-night gatherings with exagerated hose and garterbelts but never on any "out in the street" woman.[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4]We all have our own opinions, points of view and tastes, but beating each other up over what is right or not doesn't help give us a very united appearance. [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4]Now I see that some of the apparently younger members are put off because others don't appreciate the stocking tops or panty views and won't participate by posting their pictures. What are we turning into? A torn group that demeans others by calling them "prudish" or "old" or "old-fashioned"? [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4]Maybe this is the key that some members will use to depart this forum and seek more open or closed expressions of their feminine point of view. I hope not, but we, or I, did not appear all that supportive originally. [/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4]My apologies to anyone that may have been offended by my remarks, they were simply my opinion, to which we are all entitled.[/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4][/SIZE]
    [SIZE=4]I will continue to post the pictures that I am proud of, showing what I feel is my interpretation of today's woman.[/SIZE]

    If I read Emily's question verbatim, it wasn't specific to this forum, but I'll answer both:

    I like the fact that it is toned down here and I hope it stays that way.

    Other places, I think what anyone chooses to do with their body is their choice. I think it's less degrading than being forced into being something you are not, crappy job, lifestyle, etc... I've known prostitutes (just friends, not my thing) that have more self-respect for themselves and are smarter than some CEO's I know. I do find it degrading when you feel you have to use sex to sell a greater talent, i.e. a lot of music videos.

    In the scheme of things, sexual display is SO far down in comparison to many of the things that the public embraces. I like looking at sexy people. Still, I don't post nude photos of myself anywhere, I think it's sexier to leave something to the imagination.

    I dont mind either way i myself think in order to pass i need to be descret and I love the soft demure look. Long skirts though I love my legs in tights sitting crosslegged with a little knee showing. That is about as far as I myself would go.

    May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
    May hope forever wipe away your tears,
    And, above all, may silence make you strong.

    [SIZE=4]I see a great deal of difference in flashing hose tops vs. panties. Specially since most of us ts's do have a package to conceal.

    Aside from the controversy before this post, I have found that compared to the number of photos I took or had taken before my transition, I am an absolute camera bug now, I want every outfit I wear every time I dance photoed. I would go weeks or months between pics before, but now I want them every change of wardrobe or wig.

    I think it is because I hated the way I looked as a guy, and especially without a wig. Now I am so happy with the way I way I look and how my face looks now. My kids are probably freaked out with all the pics their dad sends them of this not so bad looking lady that I am now.

    Secretly - I wish they would call me mom instead of dad, but I wouldn't replace their mom, maybe "other" mom. fraid it won't happen though.

    I do post foot and leg pix on another site but not here.

    I am a perv. lol. I dont care if you show it or not tho, in the end it doesnt affect me one way or another.

    Oh, and I have shown my stocking tops before, not a big deal to me.
    If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like I am now.

    Tastes

    I like the subtle/sexy. I don't like tacky vulgarity. (one man's turn on is another man's..yes, I know) Nothing wrong with seeing a flash, as long as it doesn't go past the posting rules. If I want to see "stuff" dangling/bulging here, and there, I have an imagination, and "real life" opportunities. A time and place for most things, correct ? It wouldn't bother me to see a can can girl flashing her panties. I guess we all know what we like when we see it. I enjoy the "naughty" old images over the decades. Sometimes, there is a fine line, if you know what I mean. Some of us like that line just fine. hee hee

    I love to look at panties no matter who is wearing them but to do a tasteful photograph is quite difficult.
    It takes a real man to wear a dress.

    For a very long time, showing stockings and a bit of pantie were called, "Cheesecake Photo's." I don't think anyone has equated them to pure pornography for about 30 years.

    "Titillating" they might be, but probably not obscene....IMHO.

    What I object to, is so many photographs of TG Gurls showing their "junk." I don't think you could do a search on the net, and go more than 5 minutes before you would have somebody's reproductive equipment staring you in the face. Thank goodness we don't do that here, it's a very nice change. In addition to being unladylike, it rightfully makes other people think that we are all perves, interested only in exhibitionism and graphic sex.

    It's too bad it's like that, gives the rest of us a very bad name!

    Peace and Love, Joanie

    Don't like the tastless photos but on another note, I was out with some fellow TG girls one night years ago. One of the gurls had on a skirt so short, I mean stuff was literally hanging. Now I don't like to judge but my mind did so almost automatically. I did not like it. To each her/her own and all, but....that was too much for me.
    I like it when TGs dress and carry themselves like a real GG would. That said, women can pose and be sexy when they want to be so can we!!
    But I like to see it done tastfully. I don't get into porn GG or TG. But that is just me. Most of us are sexual beings.

    To show or not to show

    I feel that TxKimberly c omments should be taken to heart
    by all Crossdressers who have concern over the
    manner in which we are often perceived as being
    strange and out of step with main stream men.

    My opinion: I love art, and artful porn, but there are few and far between who can pull it off. In the absence of art or artful porn, I would prefer to see CD's making a real effort to present themselves as GG's in the moste tasteful manner possible.

    PLEASE POST A COMMENT!
    I'm surprised at some of the conservatism here with suggestions/ hints that we all should conform to that, because some SO's visiting here may get the "wrong idea about cd's", but that's their right.

    I don't care to see that "something extra" on a forum like this personally either, to answer that question. I want to see how well someone managed to transform MtF.

    To me a well done pic is very artfull, the body can be a beautiful thing. I'm a personal lover of lingerie pics, some that show hints of a thigh, a**, or if you can pull it off a full body shot (staying within the forum rules). I love seing GG's and cd's in lingerie and dressed sexy, if they got the bod, flaunt it.

    I'm sure a few of mine have borderlined the rules but their nothing you wouldn't see in a lingerie catalog, even if most of my a** is showing ;-), it's still covered w/stockings and thong and tastefully done IMO.

    Thank goodness that cd's come in all types or it would get pretty boring here, all of us have the right to post any type of pic that suits our tastes in clothing, and NO ONE has the right to tell them otherwise. Whether conventional or sexy and provacative, I choose the latter look myself but respect, and have complimented plenty members here that are conservative dressed.

    Just live and let live and let people enjoy themselves, if anything innapropriate gets posted we have mods here to make that determination, not members.

    And with that said I will close by saying ..................

    Kimberlytx and LoriSC said it for me, and I prefer a touch of modesty, classiness, though I have pics of Lucille, where i did'nt realize the upper pantyhose were showing! I, personally don't like thong underwear, or g-strings---like dental floss. Turns me off on a guy or gg. Lori I haven't seen you on before. You look great, like so many here!

    I think it does us as a group no good to go flashing our bits on purpose in public. You don't see many GG's doing it. Okay I accept that some do but If people see us acting trashy then they will look upon us as trashy. I spend so much time and effort trying to give the opposite impression.
    Having said that I do believe that photographs are okay especially when viewed in a forum sush as this. Not pornographic but tasteful. It can help some of us see what is possible. The more seedy type though I believe could draw into the forum geeks who are not what they claim to be and who's only interest is in the photos. Don't get me wrong though, I like looking at nice sexy shots as much as the next person, nothing wrong with a flash of panties etc.

    I prefer to leave that stuff to the imagination and when it is a crossdresser I really don't care to see any of that, it tends to demean us all. I love looking at woman and love to imagine myself looking like them.

    I like seeing stocking tops, but I'm not real taken with panty flashes. But lingerie displays featuring ensembles of bra or corset, panty, garter belt and stockings....well, that'll get me every time!

    Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

    I'm perfectly fine with the pictures allowed on this forum.

    I would like to commend the efforts of the hard working staff who do an excellent job of keeping this a decent website that I'm proud to visit.

    A little flashing in pictures can be enjoyable. What French maid photoshoot is complete without at least a little peak of petticoat or stocking top?
