Title: Unconscious compulsions
Post by: Lucy Ross on January 24, 2018, 07:46:38 AM
If I start shaving my legs it's really difficult to stop, I want all that horrible hair gone, even if only for a little while. I have nary a regret about the money and time I've invested in electrolysis for my face, either, even though I'm low income in a big way.  Whenever I pass by a mirror I have a look see, keeping an eye out for any noticeable growth in the boob department. Anybody else possessed by irrational urges like these?  Probably all of you...I'm sure in the fullness of time having breasts will be like having elbows, as Helen Boyd put it. But for the moment fighting these urges is like trying to not eat the whole pint of ice cream.

I've spent 30 years thinking of these notions of being a gal as just kinky fantasies too.  The urges make me feel like I'm some kind of sleeper agent, a transsexual Manchurian Candidate. "Must shave body smooth...then shoot Angela Lansbury..." ;) Look it up, kids.

There's nothing irrational about wanting to keep shaving legs when they are irritating and prickling a few days afterwards. For a long time I only kept doing that because I hated the feeling of leg stubble, lol.

It was either that or grow all the hairs back out on them. Either is more comfortable than leg stubble. . .

I don't share your feelings about body hair, not ever having had much.  Facial hair, oh yeah, if I shaved any closer, I'd take the skin right off.

My breasts may be like elbows, but a lot shapelier.  I have had them for about ten months, but I still like to feel them up any chance I get.   :D

I think these urges are totally natural.

I love having breasts. The pain of them growing isn't much fun, but they make me feel happy and they are kinda hard to ignore. I don't think its irrational at all. :) As for body hair? hate it, almost as much as facial hair. Fortunately is giving in to HRT so that battle is being won.

I'm not on hormones, but I wear a 38A bra.  I also like to feel my breasts in my bra.

I'm lucky in that I have very little body hair so I don't really have to shave. Just occasional stray hair maintenance. Since the day I started HRT I can't get the smile off my face. I often stare at the mirror and love my breasts especially in profile. My nipples and areola have not grown but the breasts themself are a nice c size.  I have such a broad chest that it is hard to get cleavage. Any advice? I know it sounds crazy to those not afflicted with these desires, that was ingrained as our brains developed in utero. I've been looking for answers for 60 years and I just came to the realization I had to address the elephant in the room. Finally.

Shaved my legs a month ago and keep them that way. Once they were bare and smooth, it was like a drug. I'm just under a month on HRT and patiently waiting for the boob fairy and I expect that when she comes I won't be able to not look at them and smile just like Dawn.
I'm impatient, yes -and some days wonder if the e is making it into my system (I'm taking it sublingually) but enjoying the ride nonetheless.

I used to shave my legs and then used an epilator, but I then went for laser.  I'm very happy with the results.  Leg hair looks terrible under pantyhose.

Oh yeah. I forgot. I just had an ingrown hair in my pubes. Another reason not to shave. Damn it was painful.

That's me too my HRT twin sister!  I went to the Endo yesterday and she had looked at my boobs while examining me and asked if they were that way before HRT and I said no. The nipples are big - like double erasers and aerolas are getting little bumps on them - kinda life solid pimples.  She was surprised but commented that she didn't really see any breast tissue as yet.  Nevertheless I took it as a compliment.  And the nipples have been hurting more and more and it feels as thought there's something more firm under the nipples.

Bring on the boob fairy!!!!
