Question of the Week
"As a 'red-blooded heterosexual bloke', I also enjoy the pleasures of wearing women's lingerie and clothing in general. Being an ex-front row Rugby Union player of 40 years (last count !), who has accumulated some additional (Guinness induced) ballast since my last game, it can be a challenge finding feminine clothing to fit ! While I have no real idea why I enjoy wearing women's clothes, I sometimes think it may be related to the 'discipline' dished out at school by the Catholic nuns in Ireland, where in the early 70s, they often forced me to wear a dress for being naughty in school, and then paraded me in front of the girls class(es) while wearing the dresses. When I look back on the practice, I often think this was an insidious form of child abuse. What do you ladies think?"
