Just wanted to say hello to anyone watching the new boards. I am a 40-yr old cross-dresser, married 15 years, not out to my wife yet. Enjoying being dressed first thing this morning - trying to relax before work. I started dressing up in mom's things when I was about 13-14, went yesterday evening for my first shopping trip for womens clothes and shoes - what a rush!! found some beautiful low black pumps that show a little toe cleavage and make my legs look sexy, I gave myself an amazing thrill by dressing when I got home, and wearing pumps, short skirt, bra, panties and pretty feminine blouse outside my apartment on my back porch to smoke a cigarette, practiced walking in my new shoes so I won't be 'schlepping' around like a man.

Anyway, I'm very glad this forum is here, and that there are so many with similar stories. More later . . .

Thank you! I need to get some makeup gear and shop a wig so I can do the whole nine yards here at my apartment. I live away from home, wife and pets (work relocation not yet complete) three nights a week, so this arrangement gives me an enviable amount of freedom to be myself, and to do what I like most - play my music (guitar, bass, keys, drums, composing, recording) and now begin to allow my inner woman to blossom and to be pampered. Very exciting time for me, a little scary and different, but this interest has been inside me for many years, and now I have some time to explore it and have fun. I am so fortunate to have found this community, hopefully others will be using the new boards now - I want to gather tips and inspiration, and hopefully contribute. I'm not ready to do pics yet, but maybe later . . .

Kisses - KM

Krystyna Marie,

Welcome to the wonderful world of crossdressing. You have an enviable situation with your own apartment. I had my own for a year because I was working out of town. I think I dressed nearly every night. Even though I have a loving and accepting wife, the apartment did give me freedom to dress whenever I felt like it. Before the apartment and now afterwards, my wife always lets me dress up whenever I want but with my youngest teenage boy still at home, my time is limited.

I am a rather social crossdresser so I do a great deal out in public. I have a couple of "girlfriends" who enjoy going out as much as I do. I have never been much for the bar scene so most of my social outings involve shopping, dining, theater, and music. I'm always amazed at how accepting people are. Socializing in public has made crossdressing much more fulfilling than it used to be. Hopefully, you can become as comfortable with yourself and with others to take your crossdressing into the social world. Of course, you shouldn't feel pressured to do so, or feel as though you have to go public. Crossdressing is like most activities. You do it to satisfy yourself. So whatever level you choose, just make sure it makes you happy.

I think these forms are a great place to get support and confidence as you explore your feminine side. It is really a terrific way to expand your knowledge base. If ever I can be of any assistance or offer any advise, just say the word.

Hugs,

Sally

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
