I am a transvestite, a man who enjoys female impersonation. I love the challenge of attempting to carry off a portrayal of a female and enjoy experimenting with make up, clothes and wigs. I won't deny there is something truly adventurous about taking on the appearance of the opposite sex and I enjoy the collision with my upbringing as such activities were considered taboo. I also enjoy confronting societies perceptions, prejudices and taboos.

Being a transvestite appeals to me as I love the mystery of illusion. It is actually great fun to be a man yet shave your legs, your chest, sit in front of mirror and apply make up to try and become feminine looking. To then attach breasts, tuck way your male genitals and wear a dress and high heels and dab on perfume is incredibly thrilling and produces a real sense of daring within me.

As men we are told we should not dress up as women yet a lot of men desire to do this. I just admitted to myself I wanted to be a transvestite and now I engage with the pastime I love it and have amazing experiences.
