"Why don't more guys do this?..."

[Larissa Cassandra]

I figured this would get a lot of diverse replies, so thanks for sharing! I probably shouldn't have included the percents, but thought they'd make good starting points for discussion. I certainly don't have any data to back up those numbers.

We tie ourselves into pretzels trying to justify or normalize something that does not require either.

Monica, I wasn't trying to justify or normalize what we do. It definitely isn't normal, since "normal" means what most people do. I thought it would be fun to get other people's perspectives, as I think we all wonder about where other men think. And as I said in my OP, I can't believe that any guy would never have been curious enough to try on panties or bra (or whatever). But I agree that numbers don't matter. I really don't care. I am me and I do what I enjoy!

IMO, I believe many more men at one time or another, have tried on or worn women?s clothes. Most guys, I know, are fascinated and curious about women?s lingerie going back to Sears catalogs, panty raids, Victoria Secret catalogs, etc. I don?t buy any statistics. Why? 1. No one would fess up in a survey 2. as with most of us, it happens in private. With some of us, as we know, it sticks. Two of my friends admit to wearing pantyhose while hunting or fishing for ?warmth?, yeah right. My Dr. told me, in the emergency room, it was not unusual to find patient?s underdressed. And so on, which is why I believe there?s more of us out there.

Nancy Sue, I agree 100%, and that's a number I'll stand by!

People are just playing the role they have been told to play.

Kerry, great observation! I can identify since I was raised in an all male household to had to suppress my feminine side until just a couple of years ago. Then it just broke free, and I'm happy it did!
