Transvestia

keen about music and at one time had a small dance orchestra. So I can say there was nothing unusual about my life and activities in general. Incidentally I was always very fond of the opposite sex and admired them very much.

I had one sister, 4 years my junior. In later years, I have considered the possibility of my mother having been disappointed in not having a girl for her first born. Could that circumstance have had some bearing on my desire to dress?

When I was living alone I dressed quite frequently and always derived the most delightful satisfaction from each experience. There were periods when the opport- unities for dressing were denied me and I missed it very much. However; I have dressed for many years now and never fail to get the same thrill from it as I did when I first became a Femme Personator

I am most fortunate in being married to a loving and understanding wife. When we were first married, I brought up the subject and she thought it would be fun for me to dress up and she was very pleased, the first time. When she saw that it was going to be a regular part of our life together, she demurred a little and said she hoped that it was not going to become an "Obsession" with me. However; we had a heart to heart talk and the upshot of it was that I could dress so long as I did not do it to often. She became so used to the idea that now she takes it for granted that I will dress whenever the opportunity presents itself. That means just about every weekend. On the very rare occasions when I have not dressed she has asked me why I haven't. So I have a very satisfactory set-up. My wife helps me with my hair and makes various suggestions regarding make-up and such things. She tells me about anything I might do to im- prove my appearance. It gives me a terific feeling of contentment and satisfaction after I am dressed to sit and discuss fashions and various other things in which we are mutually interested, and then have dinner together, After that we watch T.V. for a while and then turn it off and put some records on our stereo and dance for a little while. The whole thing is so natural and has become a regular part of our lives. I am extremely happy on these
