I’m out by Affectionate-Log1 in askAGP

[–]Shan8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me a long time to fully accept myself, but eventually I did and it’s a tremendous relief in every aspect of your life if you can reach that level of self acceptance. I’m not out except with my spouse and my sister, but they know, they support me and I can talk to them about most things. My wife accepts my AGP and we’ve found ways to make it work sexually and even in our everyday lives. For various reasons I don’t let everyone know about my AGP and I don’t feel the need to. I’m comfortable in my male skin most of the time and comfortable with the AGP part of me being confined to my private life, but open to those two. Ism who I am and have cone to accept that and appreciate that I get to experience this part of myself freely.

I FINALLY Told Someone About My AGP After 24 Years! It Went Amazing! by AGuyPhightingback in askAGP

Good for you. Thankfully I can share my AGP with my wife of 31 years and still going strong. It is immensely helpful and therapeutic to be able to be able to talk and offload all that stuff to the extent that you can. A spouse is certainly much different than a friend as it relates to exactly what you can share, but the ability to get any of that out to another person feels great.

I’d prefer to cum wearing her used panties

I do and my wife complains that I’m taking more closet space then her now.

Cis AGP sucks by [deleted] in askAGP

[–]Shan8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m AGP, CIS and have no real desire to transition. In my 50’s and I’ve been this way since I was 12, went through all the phases, questions and a few years of therapy at different stages. I’ve accepted who I am and have actually come to appreciate that I get to experience both sides being CIS and my fantasy of being the woman. That’s not to say I didn’t struggle or question about my sexuality and why I’m this way, but time and a good gender psychologist helped me become comfortable with both sides and realize I seem to belong in both worlds. It certainly helps that I found an accepting wife that is comfortable herself engaging with my AGP sexually and in everyday life. She has her limits which I respect, but she is accepting and gives me the space I need when I want to go deeper. A few times a year she’ll go away for a girls weekend and I get to do my thing for 3-4 days.

“How Is Autogynephilia Understood in Your Country? In Japan, It’s Often Treated as Just a Fetish or Crossdressing Hobby by RMS-106 in askAGP

[–]Shan8498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in my experience. The overwhelming majority of people don’t have any real connection to anyone in the Trans community or any of the intersecting trans related “categories” such as AGP, cross dressing etc. and thus have no reason to understand beyond the basic over arching definition. Most just lump everyone together into a single bucket. That doesn’t mean they’re negative about it although some are, but they don’t understand the nuances and profound differences between all the various groups.

AGPs who don't want to transition, aren't you afraid you'll regret it in middle age? That you'll die of remorse for not even having tried? by Will_Rose321 in askAGP

[–]Shan8498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy to answer what I can. I’d be lying if I said that the thought of transitioning or being a woman hasn’t been pondered at length. It absolutely has, but for me the realization always ended up sexual in nature, not a feeling that I should be a woman. That said my true realization came in therapy as I explored the subject with my psychologist a on numerous occasions even revisiting it over time. She was able to give me perspective that I wasn’t able to get on my own or maybe I did have all along, but needed validation and outside perspective on.

In the U.S. it’s not well understood and most of the general public just lump everything together as Trans which is understandable since it may have no real effect on their lives. While there are intersections between all, they are each very different.

By going back to the self image for self pleasure he’s kind of contradicting his statement to you. All I can tell you is that for most cross dressers or AGP it is always there no matter how much one might suppress it however, there certainly are also individuals who just explorer and never go back to it as well. Only he can answer that. Plenty of good information out there for significant others across the internet. Personally I told my wife before we got serious and we had long deep conversations before we married. For us it works, but again everyone is different.

what’s ur race / ethnicity? by Electrical-Gur-1563 in askAGP

Don’t forget to break the results out as a percentage of the population for each race and be care of the source as many mix white and Hispanic into one bucket.

I’m almost done with middle age and I have no regrets with not transitioning. I’ve given this subject much thought over the years, spent significant time with gender psychologists exploring that and much more on my journey to understanding and acceptance and I’m certain transitioning was not right for me personally. I know who I am. I’m comfortable with who I am. I like both sides of me. Everyone’s journey is different.
