Just introducing myself

[Grott]

Hi All

Just got round to doing an introduction on another site as a new member. So I thought I had do the same here. ( it is the same as on the other site - so to anybody else who is on both site - I apologise for the repetition)

I am in my mid 50s, married and I live in North Kent (England),
I come to skirt wearing via two separate interests Gardening and BDSM.

I like naked gardening and would probably be an active naturist, if I could be bothered to go to a nudist club (but I am too busy for that).
The problem with naked Gardening is that whilst most of our garden (200 foot) is not overlooked - our back door is. So in order not to upset the elderly neighbours I would normally leave the house with shorts on and then take them off when I get past the green house. But last summer for convenience I started to use a toweling wrap and then a sarong. Not only were these more convenient but I also found them more comfortable than trousers. So much so that I went out and got some long skirts for wearing around the house - The other plus point is I like bright colours. I am not a great lover of Kilts as they are too heavy.

And that is where the BDSM comes in - I am comfortable with the idea of men in skirts - from all the TVs and cross dressers I mix with. But it has not been on my list of must does because I was not interested in all the feminine bits that go with it. (I am bare legs and commando)
The Mrs was not entirely happy when I started wearing skirts because she also equates it with cross-dressing and she was expecting every thing that goes with that. It was while trying to convince her that that was not going to happen that I started searching on the internet and came across yours and other similar sites.
It was nice to find other men who wanted to wear skirts as men.

I wear skirts at the local play club occasionally - because they are accepting of it.
I do not at present wear skirts out in public (at the moment)- and I would not be happy to do so without the wife's agreement. it is strange she is reasonably comfortable with mixing with TV's in Public - but seems to baulk at the idea of me in a skirt in public.
So as a way of easing the wife into the idea skirts in public, I have got a tartan skirt, that could be taken for a kilt. I want to wear it to one of the munch's we go to, so it will be semi-public. Once she is comfortable with that we will see where that leads.

I see pink!!!!! Already I want to see a closer photo the skirt! *Sigh*

I understand exactly where you are coming from. Initially I started wearing skirts out of kink, mainly for my girlfriend's benefit (she is also my Mistress). First time I wore a skirt out in public, it was more a challenge to myself to see if I had the confidence to do it! I did. From there, I started wearing them around the house and whenever I was out with my girlfriend. Now I find myself wearing them as often as I can!

After reading the comments made by member of this forum, I decided it would be best if I went commando at all times, in order to reap the benefits that skirt-wearing provides. While I have worn stocking and tights in the past, I much prefer the look of cute socks or none at all.

Initially the wife was a little upset with the skirts, similar to how your wife is/was. She was afraid of where this was all leading. Eventually, she realized it was nothing to worry about, and on one occasion ask to borrow one of my skirts when going to visit her boyfriend. That is not something you hear very often!

Now the wife has always liked kilts, but like yourself, they are not something I am drawn toward. I find I am quite happy to don on any garment that looks good, irregardless of color or length.

Hi - thanks for the welcome - it is always nice to know that you are not alone.

I just fell in love with the pink skirt when I first saw it - it is just so cheerful.

Will send you a photo of the skirt
