In the US it's illegal to be dressed indecently, but not illegal to crossdress. Also, where would you draw the line? Some people might claim that all the boys wearing girls skinny jeans are crossdressing.
~ Rod ~
is it legal to crossdress when outside as a female
~ Andy M ~
epilators have been suggested. I've just bought a Braun and done my first epilate session. So far so good, but still a long way from hair free legs (which are essential for any tights wearing!!!)
~ Adrian ~
With winter on the way I shall be cutting down on heating bills by wearing opaque tights with a wool kilt.

@badleg: Try Elbeo Sheer Magic or Elbeo Caresse. Size XL is available. They really do help...
~ 2craze2 ~
Ordered some tights from Emilio Cavallini, they're great! Good stretch, warm, opaque. Good replacement for my regular sock-wearing.

Emmeline Rules

posted Wednesday, 28 May 2008

by Scottish Smoothie

 

This landed in my e-mail in-box today. I was so pleased as I read this supportive story from a female perspective. Would that all wives and girlfriends were like Smoothie here! The title refers to Emmeline Pankhurst, whose determination to achieve rights for women won through in the face of entrenched opposition and prejudice. That was male prejudice - but prejudice in our case is not limited to any one sex. 

First of all, thanks for all your hard work in maintaining such a fantastic, refreshing and positive site. Reading all these stories of boldness, courage and strength of character is truly uplifting.

I met the love of my life last summer, and he ‘confessed’ to his love of tights one night after about 4 months.  I went straight to my drawer and got a pair for him to put on there and then.  It was bit of a squeeze but his smile was radiant.  The next day I bought a couple of boxes for him from the supermarket (shouldn’t have bothered, he had lots of much higher quality ones of his own).  He was just so relieved. He’d been contemplating moving back to his own flat, because he couldn’t bear the thought of having to give up his tights.  Now everything is back on course and we’re both in our own wee heaven again.

Why are nylons for men such an issue?  I want to shout and bawl about it, to make it more acceptable. He went into the front garden with me for a couple of minutes the other day in his shorts and tights and was a bag of nerves, although there was no-one around. Hopefully one day he’ll feel secure enough to venture out a bit further. “Just think of Emmeline Pankhurst” I imagine myself saying to anyone who might dare to question him. The misery he has suffered in keeping this a secret for the last 35 years, just because of prejudice and ignorance….. .

On a more personal note, I’m not that into nylon for myself as I usually wear trousers.  I think tights are much better suited to the male anatomy than the female one!  But I’ve invested in some mini-skirts and shiny denier 15 (both for me!), just to please him.  Seeing him in tights doesn’t really ‘do it’ for me either unfortunately, although I have absolutely no objection to him wearing them. And it was sad to see his beautiful hairy legs transformed into beautiful unhairy ones.  I never used to shave my legs, but now do so for him.  Perhaps he’ll forgo the razor for a month each summer so that I can see his legs how I like them for a while.

Anyway I just wanted to ask, is there anything you can do to get this site further up the Google search lists?  (If it costs money, perhaps Lord Laidlaw would be willing to help!) I had to wade through to page 16 before I found it under a “men in tights” search. If it was more accessible, maybe more people would read it. 

In particular, wives (and ex-wives) and children who are not so open-minded and need a little guidance to get their heads around the subject. It would  be good if a few more women contributed too.  That could help to mainstream the subject.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

It is nice to see a supportive post - a pity there aren't more ladies like you out there!

Thank you Smoothie for this contribution! You are an example to all wives and girlfriends of men who are in legwear.

You ask what can be done to move this blog up the search engine rankings. It is already well linked from other serious sites in this field. I don't encourage links with fetish sites, though of course I can't actually stop people linking to this site if they want to.

The more material you publish, the higher up the rankings your site will go. After 3 years I find it hard to have much new to say, and I have personal reasons for not publishing so much these days as I used to.

That is why the contributions of people like Smoothie (and others) are so important. If other readers wish to contribute, they are more than welcome, so long as the ethos of the blog is maintained.

Geraden

WOW--I have always been confused about why women find hairy men so sexy. I personally like me better when shaved tan hairy. Would love to hear others thoughts on the subject of hairy vs smooth!!!
