Hi Jon,
I've been dressing since I tried on my first pair of pantyhose at age 6. Went through everything we go through. I've done a lot of reading, hoping to find some answers to "why". All I gleaned is it's here forever. One, if not the toughest situations I've experienced is how to tell, or should I tell my fiance. I read and my senses told me be honest and tell her before we wed.. One night, after a party/wine, she was taking her pantyhose off and said, "I'm glad to get these off". I smiled and said, "it must be nice" She threw them at me, laughing and said, "OK, here, you wear them. So I did and it was then that I decided to tell her...totally expecting her to sprint for the exit door. It turns out her brother is a dresser and she was familiar with it. So there I am, sitting there in her pantyhose feeling total relief. Then to my shock, she went over to her dresser and brought me one of her black bras and panties. The bra didn't fit, but the panties did. We married and soon I had quite a wardrobe. Her "deal", one for me...two for her...seemed fair to me. She helps me with fashions, makeup, etc. Life has been good. The Midwest isn't ready for us, so we are very careful...very.
