One of the bits I read in the Sunday papers is in the Sunday Times Style Magazine. There, apart from the occasional nice fashion shot (with hosiery if you are lucky) the so-called Mrs Mills answers a few agony-aunt type of questions each week in her rather unhelpful but amusing way.
Amusing, unless you really do have the kind of problem she is addressing. But then, anyone who sends a problem to Mrs Mills should be aware of the kind of response they will get if it is published, so maybe not much harm is done. Nevertheless I do wonder how many of them she actually makes up herself!
I reckoned that the question of male hosiery wearing was sure to be addressed sooner or later, and I have been waiting to see what she would have to say on the subject. Today was the day.
Cross-dressing spouseMy darling husband has recently taken to wearing my tights under his trousers. I first caught a glimpse of the waistband and asked him why. He said it was because of the cold, but he later admitted he likes the feel. I don't want to encourage him, as it is expensive - he ladders lots and I do not want him to start on my underwear. What should I do to finish his fetish?

Instead of revealing Mrs Mills' response straight away (it was pretty much as I expected), I have an idea for you.
This could be fun! You be the agony aunt! Write a response yourself – it can either be a serious response (such as a real agony aunt would write) or a Mrs Mills' type of response – unhelpful but amusing.
Leave your response as a comment, or if you prefer, send it in by e-mail. Either way, I will choose the best contribution in each category next Sunday (3rd December) when I will reveal what Mrs Mills actually said!

I was fuming after I read this article (and the so-called 'agony aunt's'
reply). This is just the kind of ignorance gone to seed that got innocent
'heretics' and martyrs burned at the stake in medieval times! Thankfully,
at least the latter is now no longer 'PC' (it doesn't conform to HSE
guidelines!) but some serious damage could be done to this couple's
relationship if they don't 'wise up' a little! And the reply is is about as
helpful as a bullet through the temple! Words fail me! I may yet e-mail
this idiot of an 'agony aunt' to set her straight - if I thought for a
moment it was a genuine attempt to help and not just a cynical matter of
selling copy!
Dear EM,
I suggest you take a long weekend holiday. Go to a nice romantic hotel far
away from your daily life. After a nice long soak in a hot tub together
take a razor with a fresh blade and shave his legs. Buy some Wolfords or
other nice tights and have him try them on. Show him the correct way to
wear his tights. Then the two of you have a randy wild time between the
sheets! Throw away all his plain white underwear and tell him he can only
wear tights from now on.
I just read her actual reply. WWWWAAAYYY better than mine so so funny
Dear Cross dressing spouse.
I can understand this could be a confusing and personally frightning thing
to discover about your husband but i can't help but feel a bit sorry for
males. As females we get alot of luxurys and not just in the clothing
department. For instance lovely smelling bath salts and moisturizes and
lovely sweet drinks that have very feminine names. Now males can use these
things but it is frowned apon. So maybe we should cut males some slack and
let them experience a luxury every now and then
