From the article, Are Men Women When They Wear Lingerie? The Fantasy of Reality
Alana Raso says:
When I wear lingerie, I imagine myself as a feminine creature. I know my sex, I just like to choose an alternative gender when an opportunity arises. I telecommute twice a week, I usually dress in a silk blouse and skirt when doing so. Interesting, I usually accomplish much more when I am wearing the clothing (and lingerie) of my preference. Does anyone else feel like they are more product ive when dressed?
There’s a funny objection to the idea of men wearing lingerie, and that’s the objection to the idea that men are imagining themselves to be women. For some people, the very idea is against all that is natural and good in the world. It is unthinkable. It is… unimaginable.
You know why vintage swimsuits are so in right now? I’ll tell you why. It is not because history always repeats, or because there are only so many permutations of a swimsuit, it is because the old days were the good old days. Nothing bad ever happened in the old days, in fact, I believe that the earth was entirely peaceful and pleasant from 1920 up until 1960, when those filthy hippies came along and ruined the world with Ebola and Swine Flu.
Say you’re a man who likes to wear women’s clothing, but isn’t quite comfortable going out in public that way. What you need is a way to ease into female fashions, a point of departure, so to speak. You’re looking for a way to express yourself without inviting the unwanted attentions of the less understanding sectors of society. The good news is that there are several ways to incorporate female fashions into everyday outfits without going the proverbial whole hog, and we’re going to have a look at some of them in this article.
Pretty petticoats, the type that flounce and bounce when the wearer spins are something of a garment gone by (unless you happen to be an avid dancer,) but there’s a sector of society not ready to let them go gently into the quiet fashion night just yet, and that sector is mostly made up of men.
My last article, a basic guide to
Men who wear lingerie often end up experimenting with other elements of so called “women’s fashions.” Perhaps out of a desire to further explore their feminine sides, perhaps out of pure curiosity, perhaps because once a man tries the forbidden fruit, he sometimes finds it hard to stop. (Now men know how Eve felt in the garden of Eden.)
