Transvestia

After spending this time in the Army and not being dressed and being away from the silk and satin, I felt the desire for dressing was no longer there. I was mar- ried and still am, to the greatest GG I have ever known. It wasn't very long after having the silk and satin near me, however, that an old spark burst into flame. I spent some effort trying to keep from dressing but-- One summer when my wife and children were away from the city for a few weeks vacation, I remember wearing her well padded strapless bra and spending the day at the fair in Chicago, (1949). All went well and I had an enjoyable day. This was the first time I had ever been out wearing female clothing under mine.

it.

It wasn't until two years later that I began to try to inform my wife of my desire. The details of how this was done, she may remember, I don't. But I didn't push I just introduced a thought, then sometime later discussed it. In about 1954 a short artical appeared in the paper, written by some doctor, answering a question a woman had about her husband's desire for feminine clothing. This was my first contact with the term trans- vestite and I knew as well as my wife that this term fit- ted me.

Knowing that someone else had the same desire that I did, and as this doctor pointed out that it was nothing unusual, lead to more freedom. It wasn't too long after this that I got some of my own femme clothing, be it ever so little.

Now each one of us no doubt has, at one time or an- other, had problems with our wives, or to be honest could it be that we are the problem? This is not unusual, males who are not TVs have problems with wives too. One of the points my wife made during her indoctrination (if I may use the term) was, "how would you like it if I wore male clothing and tried to look as much like a man as I could". I had to admit just the thought of hiding all that beauty shook me. She had a point, well put.

After 15 years, since her first introduction to my desires, my wife now dosen't object to my dressing but encourages me. On occasion she has purchased some femme clothing in my size. I would like to comment
