Thanks for your posts, Andy. The first one was very informative. And I always liked reading about your friendship with Stephen/Stephanie. I never had a friend like that.
I don't know how old I was when I became aware of transwomen but it wasn't until I was older. I wrote about getting turned on by them in other posts elsewhere on the board at random times, like with "Tootsie", but it wasn't until I was much older that the t-girl bug really bit me.
I'd always loved porn and one day I was browsing in the adult section of the local video store. The place was overflowing with those oversized boxes that VHS porno tapes came when I stumbled on to one with Gia Darling on the cover. I had a similar experience a couple years before when I saw Karen Dior as Peg Bundy but this was different because Gia got me hooked on tgirls. Two days later I found "Bob's Tgirls", joined, and never went back to regular porn.
That was a very confusing time for me. I never meant to imply liking transwomen was weird or there's something wrong with being gay. But in my own case I didn't know what to make of my attraction. The "Am I Gay?" threads on various boards helped me understand that I like what I like is all. I still consider my attraction to tgirls private for various reasons.
Thanks for starting this thread. I'm hoping others will join in
