A Story from a Mother

Post by Bob »

Hello,

This is a bit off topic, but it was such a beautiful story, I wanted to see how others react.

Thats a great little story. Just goes to show its not how you dress but how you behave that makes a real man.

Guys,
This reads like fiction to me, too many details regarding the girly stuff, don't be sucked in. No mother would write something like this, it is some guys fantasy.

I must confess that I thought the same thing. Then I had a look at the home page on the site and a few of the other items there.

Now I don't think it's fiction, I'm certain of it (try the "Readers gallery of couples" and you'll see what I mean WARNING!: These pictures may be offensive to some).

Having said that it is a nice little story...

Have fun,


Ian.

If you read enough of the site, it becomes pretty obvious that the whole "petticoated" site is about fantasies, not reality. There's a whole genre of stories and art about "petticoat punishment," just Google the phrase, and you'll get quite a bit.

(I kept running across them when I was looking for instructions for sewing petticoats.)

Thanks for the warning, but really all I needed to do was look at the URL. "Petticoated" was a big warning sign. That word is almost always followed by the word "punishment", which to me is not a pleasant thing.

I do wish more REAL women would post how they feel about men exercising fashion freedom, unfortunately there are too many men trying to pass as women writing BS stories, which makes it difficult finding out what is real, and what is fantasy.

I just had to look any how.

Holy moly what a bunch of stupidity.

this site openly calls dressing a boy in such clothes as sissifying!!!

Sissy to me is a derogatory word. None other.

This to me is just disgusting, and does nothing for either gender.

What do you do to a missbehaving child? Be sure what they are doing is in fact wrong, then act accordingly. My mom took favorite toys away, or grounded me. No TV, no books, no anything fun if I really F-ed up. My dad on the other hand...., well let me say, I do not get turned on by belts. In most cases to this day I do not think what I did warranted that kinda punishment. How my mom handled it was far more effective. I don't fear my mother, my dad on the other hand took a while to not fear.

In short, punishment is just that in my book.

Sorry Ian, but it's fantasy. Now how do I erase those truly disturbing images out of my mind? I'm thinking something with Kahlua, Bailey's, and vodka...

Maybe I'm gullible, but.... The story I referred to is not representative of the site overall and I think is more likely to be true.

Actually, I'm of the opinion that while the individual stories on the site may or may not be fiction, the phenomenon described is probably real. It's kind of an offshoot of S&M, especially in the case of dominant women with submissive men. We know that the paid Dominatrix thing is real, that there are men that want that kind of relationship. And I've seen less extreme cases in which the husband ends up being controlled by his wife and seems to like it that way. Different strokes for different folks, I guess...

But again, the story I posted was not really related to petticoat discipline at all. Rather, it was a story of empathy and coping after the death of a father --- and of issues surrounding male chauvinist attitudes.

Agreed, and as I said it was actually quite a nice little story. I do think it's fiction but it has been written sympathetically and avoids the pitfalls so often seen when people write about boys and/or men dressing in "girls clothes".

If nothing else the rest of the site reminds us that guys in skirts are sometimes seen in contexts that look very odd to us (I guess I should just speak for myself but the others who have posted here so far seem to feel much as I do about this).

Sasq, your memory eraser sounds good to me, though I used a rather simpler mix, a drop of 18 year old Caol Ila (pronounced "cull eela") scotch whisky with just a tiny splash of water, oh then a little more whisky to avoid any risk of overdosing on water :D. It worked; I slept like a log last night (well it was like a log would if logs could snore).

Have fun,


Ian.

Mmm, memory eraser, only tried Caol Ila once, while looking round the distillary, I found it rather harsh but I think that was one of their more dangerous strengths. Bhunahaven is more my type, but I haven't managed to do the rounds of the distillery yet. Give me time!
As for that story, It did look like somebodies fantasy to me, but I do think that there might be an element of truth to the humiliation thing historicaly.
Apologies for any spelling errors! I'm sure there are a couple

I used to be very partial to Glenfiddich in my younger days, but since my liver fired up a few years back I no longer drink alcohol. All things in moderation and I already drank my life's share of alcohol. Kilts/skirts are maybe one of my ways of re-inventing my image since I stopped the booze.

That story makes me feel all weird and wrong inside. I read it and skipped a few parts because it just drug on and on, but the whole wearing a bra thing and having a girlish room just didn't set well with me at all. My fiancee knows why I wear skirts and I told her I only wear what I have a need to wear, since I have a muscular chest I don't need nor ever plan to wear a bra. Some men need one however, but I'm not one of them.

I really hope it's fiction because to me that's just disturbing. It seems like fantasy and yes, I'm probably going to need a "cowboy up" and "memory eraser" to get that crap out of my mind.
