This is an interesting topic to me on many levels, but I will just address what I know personally. I am a single straight male (yes, I see tgirls as women and the fact that I fantasize about both giving and receiving with them isn't a problem for me...if it's easier for someone reading this to call me 'bi' please feel free, it doesn't bother me...just keep in mind I am not sexually attracted to other men in the least!) I have never been with a tgirl, but I have fantasized about it since I was around 15 (I am 37 now). Bionca brings up valid concerns that many guys are 'in the closet' in their love for tgirls. I myself am as far as that goes. I don't talk about it with family or friends or co-workers, but at this point it's all fantasy for me...porn and the internet. I have been lucky enough to talk to few tgirls on-line (non-sexually), and I think it would be pretty easy for me to fall for one on a romantic level. If that happened, and she in turn fell for me, all bets would be off as far as being 'in the closet.' I'd have no problem telling my family and friends, and if they had a problem with it, well, it would be their problem, wouldn't it! But I live in a place where tgirls seem to be rather rare, I do not have money to travel, and, as stupid as this may sound, a very large part of me does not want to go the 'escort' route anyway. Maybe I am a romantic at heart, but I have never paid for sex (which maybe explains why I don't get it all that often?) haha I am certainly not knocking it, I think prostitution should be legalized for a number of reasons which I won't go into here as that's another topic altogother, but it's just not for me. I suppose the bottom line comes down to how much you care about what others think of you. If you love someone, it makes no difference what chromosomes they may or may not have, or what color they are, or what [fill in the blank with anything else]; all that matters is that you let them know you love them and hope that they return your love in kind. Sounds simple in theory, but the practice can sometimes be difficult I suppose. My personal dream is to meet a pretty, sweet, sensitive, intelligent tgirl and fall in love with her (and her with me, of course!) haha But I know that's even less likely than a one-night stand with a sexy tgirl. Hopefully I haven't gotten too far side-tracked here and have said something at least somewhat coherent. (If you read all of this both thanks and apologies to you!) haha
