66.

not stand to live as I had in the past before college and the Army. I put in an application for a job at the college an d was given a state job traveling which suited me fine. During my travels I met and married my very sweet wife.

I was never told anything nor had any sex education at home. All I knew was what I had picked up here and there. After we were married I began buying books on sex and "girlie" magazines at the newstands and reading anything and every- thing I could pertaining to sex.

Shortly after my marriage I went into business for myself. About five years after our marriage my wife and I attended a convention. In our hotel room we had a few drinks. She began to ut on some red nail polish. I asked her to put some on my toenails. She did, and this gave me a big thrill. I left the polish on even after the convention. After we got home I put on a pair of her silk panties and slip and I liked it even more So now I have found I love women s things.

A few weeks after the convention we were in a big city and I purchased myself a pair of open toed high heeled pumps, and panties, bra and falsies, slip and a dress to fit me I thoroughly enjoyed every minute making the purchases and I could hardly wait to be at home that night to try on all these lovely, pretty feminine things

At first my wife acted as if she did not mind the dress- ing up once in a while. However, after a few years I began to do it more frequently Often she would make remarks about me and I realized she did not understand Nevertheless I could not control my urge to dress So I began to hide the books on TV and pictures that I purchased. she was not around or would not know buying more clothes, shoes and all the

I would read them when

Of course, I kept on things a lady needs

Finally one evening my wife broke down crying and try- ing to tell me about dressing and reading "those books"

I never dreamed that she was on the verge of a nervous break- down. All these years she had kept everything to herself with only a once-in-awhile criticism to my face about my dressing up.
