Transvestia

married life, the marriage bed often grows cold for other interests of home and family have developed for the wife. It is at this dangerous age that many men en- gage in extra-marital affairs and other women become attractive. I found myself, instead, endeavouring to create a secret femme-personality that I could mould to my own desires, for this girl would grow out of me. ing what I liked, and so "Dorothy Roberta" was born.

My reading during her development sent me delv- ing into literature on the problem and solutions of sex- ual anomalies, for I was beginning to feel that I was a bit of an odd-ball. Not until then did come to realize that transvestism is a form of behaviour not at all un- common among inen, and that is is a harmless diversion. This was at least reassuring. and I found that there were publications available which dealt with the subject at some length, and in which others described their experi- ences. Great was my delight when I finally discovered TRANSVESTIA, the wise counsel of Virg.nia, and the fascinating articles of the many contributors. I now feel that I belong to a group that is different, but not at all abnormal. While I have no interest

in change of sex as a permanent cond- ition, I enjoy shedding the mantle of manhood occasionally, and letting the other half of my personality have free expression. This gives a feeling of both stimulation and relaxation, and if there is one other thing that would add to it, it would be the opportunity to meet occasionally with other FPs and to dress and make up with the mn, and be accepted as one of them. Perhaps

through the medium of TRANSVESTIA I can do just this.
