Totally. They're so over the top and so in your face with it. They have to go out of their way to be all girlish.

Insert obligatory YKINMKBYKIOK statement here (even though they do freak me the fuck out).

So dev knows me too well! Yes I will chime in.

It's a spectrum for some I suspect, in that there are those whose sissydom comes from a discomfort or dislike of things male. In those cases I can see how, for them, chastity and sissy are on the same scale. Ive met many transgender guys on the fetish scene and there is very often something a little sad about them. Indefinable but there. They are not comfortable in their skin, as the french say. That's how they come across. I have always assumed it's either a result of being part woman in nature but stuck in a male body, or because society is so hard on that kink, feminine men, that their life has been a tough one.

For some though being dressed is just fun. It's not a rejection of their masculinity it's a parralel self. Something to explore. I don't see why they would necessarily get in to chastity.

And of course most chaste men, eg here, are not doing it because they are rejecting or denying their manhood either. It's simply fun, and hot, to give up control of it.

I can totally see what you mean Celtic, but only for that subset of transgendered.

Thanks for the link dev, appreciate it.

Wendy, yes. Many men wear the panties and never shout about it. I'm one on occasion. But I would not class myself as in the transgender scale, it's done for wry different reasons. Mainly to feel closer to my wife. Yet I'm an exhibitionist also. Like others have said the scale is a useful metaphor in some cases but as a way to analyse and categorise it can hinder as much as it helps sometimes.

Shane, totally agree. It's not unhealthy usually and like you I never say never and try to accept others for who they want to be. But the guys here tend to be concerned about the vocal and extreme crowd that do come across as being unhappy with themselves, exhibiting to my eye almost a sense of self harm. I can see why those can be considered unhealthy, if they truly are that way and it's not just a bit of Internet bullshit.

Your theory is actually a hypothesis, Jimi...

"While theories in the arts and philosophy may address ideas and not easily observable empirical phenomena, in modern science the term "theory", or "scientific theory" is generally understood to refer to a proposed explanation of empirical phenomena, made in a way consistent with the scientific method. Such theories are preferably described in such a way that any scientist in the field is in a position to understand, verify, and challenge (or "falsify") it. In this modern scientific context the distinction between theory and practice corresponds roughly to the distinction between theoretical science and technology or applied science."

"A hypothesis (from Greek ὑπόθεσις; plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for an observable phenomenon. The term derives from the Greek, ὑποτιθέναι – hypotithenai meaning "to put under" or "to suppose." For a hypothesis to be put forward as a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously in common and informal usage, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis."
