Lady Alaria -> RE: Sissies - is it all about them? (4/3/2007 10:42:15 PM)

Since I'm here, I thought I'd toss in one more opinion. The act of dressing up enfemme is by it's nature a 'loaded' action. Far more so than dressing down, or dressing 'butch'. For women, to a large extent, dressing enfemme is a service. Something done for others. We learn by watching, and reading magazines, and trial and error, what looks good on us, in the general eyes of others. That is the reason to dress 'pretty'. The notion that it's more comfortable strikes me as mind-boggling, though I agree satin and silk are more sensuous. Now, there are times I just get a kick out of it. I look in the mirror, see pretty and just feel better. But a lot of that has to do with habit, and conditioning. When a girl is growing up, and throughout adult life, it's reinforced. If she looks good, she gets compliments, or attention. If she doesn't, she gets "You're wearing that?". Sometimes, women dress particular ways for the effect it has on others. Regardless, dressing up is something she does to look good for other people. Very few women get dressed up to stay home. When a sissy dresses 'pretty', he generally doesn't take the opinions, interests or desires of those around him into account. He does not dress in a manner that his chosen type of mate(het females) tend to be attracted to. He does not dress in a manner that those around him find comforting. He dresses in a manner that has a specific affect on his own arousal, and has nothing whatever to do with the woman he is with. Though he does search for someone who happens to find this a specific turn-on. Despite the weight of evidence that this is exceedingly rare. Often he settles for someone who will sort of tolerate it, and maybe learn to accept or even like it. I like pretty boys. In fact, I love pretty boys, they get me hot and bothered. The moment you put that pretty boy in clothes designed to accentuate a body that he doesn't have, he stops being so pretty. Toss in a bunch of caricatures of femme sexuality, and he starts either looking silly, or kinda anti-pretty. Though a really well done cd can be cute. There are ways to make yourself looks pretty, sexy, and even femmy, no matter what you look like, and have it actually look attractive(to the average). But wearing things that are appropriate to your body, and actually paying attention to what people like to see goes a long way. Boys in sarongs look great. Nobody looks sexy in a tutu. So yes, it is all about them, and is not submissive at all. It is a kink. Which is cool, but has nothing at all to do with bdsm except that a fair number of people seem to have a bit of both. A lot of sissy subs out there. Which is also cool, as long as sissy isn't your only form of submission, as it isn't submissive in itself at all. And yeah, I tend to view sissification as a reward for good behavior/revocable privilege, rather than as a punishment. YMMV, subject to change with or without notice, the opinions stated here are not anyone's really, and no one is responsible for them at all.
