Can a shemale be too beautiful?

[JonFrum]

The subject sounds like a stupid question, but I'm asking something a little different than it sounds. There are drop-dead gorgeous, totally feminine, and totally passing as genetic girls. We all have our favorites, and that's great. Having said that, when I'm looking at shemale porn, I'm turned on by a certain look. If she's too perfect, then I may as well be looking at female porn. (Yes, I know the dick makes a difference). The point is, I really like the look of a genetic guy who's taken hormones, had surgery, put on beautiful makeup, and become a shemale. I'm totallly turned on by shemales who look like shemales, so if they get so feminine that I can't tell it's a shemale without seeing the dick, I actually start to loose interest. It's weird, but I love them the way they are, and I don't need them being perfect girls.

Make any sense?

:D I think its a good thing.
To me, it shows your more interested in the PERSON , and not just a pretty IMAGE.
For me, thats a big part of the attraction..the journey, the effort, the blending. Pretty is nice, but its sure not everything.

I think than if you read very many posts here on this forum, it soon becomes obvious that what appeals to one person may not do a thing for another, and vice versa. And of course if it makes sense for you, then that is enough. While I don't see it quite your way, I am sure there are many who do. Remember the saying that was popular some years back - "I'm okay, you're okay"?? Amen

We do need to keep in mind that many t-girls are striving towards becoming all women, and thus: the more they look like a beautiful girl, the closer they are to happiness and their goal. So for me; it is the Tgirl who looks totally feminine and can easily pass.

Since I'm a submissive, I can't think of anything more fun or humiliating than having "performance anxiety" around a beautiful shemale.

Just my kinky side talking.

Performance anxiety; so that's what you call it. I've had that happen to date before. I thought he got turned off by me. Now you are telling me I look too good? Which is it?

Well, I guess there are various forms of performance anxiety. My anxiety is holding on until I get her panties off!

Beauty is subjective anyway. In your mind, you know what you find beautiful but you are conditioned by society to put an ideal beauty above all. Whatever floats your boat, I say!

Well I do agree with you. Just not the way to express your point. You could of easily said you prefer androgyny in the trans girls you find attractive.
And the reason you're getting some flack because of your post, is due to the way you phrased it. But you're new to understanding transgender people. So you get some slack from me.

For me. I never liked the so called "perfect look". Tons of makeup, plastic surgery, and what not. I like natural beauty. And yes taking hormones to become what you rightly are is natural in my opinion.
I'm also not attracted to porn stars. Unless I already know them, or they got out of the industry like Bee did.

I also really like femininity and androgyny in women (including trans girls ) and feminine guys.
Though I don't like androgyny in masculine guys. That's just a huge turn off to me.

And like you I'm totally speaking on a visual aspect.

Also "attractiveness" is not necessarily related to beauty. Somebody may be very attractive for intellect, skills or yes, sexuality and not be a beauty. Of course sexual skills and beauty would be a highly desirable combination.
OK lets throw intellect in there too.

And totally agree with Randolph here. :D

When I first saw that a new member had bumped this old, old thread, I shook my head and wished it hadn't happened. But then I realized that it provides another opportunity to remind people of how much the words you choose matter.

I agree with ThirdEyeGirl's statement that the "flak" comes from the very poor choice of words by the OP.

As for my own view, I have noted on several occasions in other posts that there are certain transwomen that I find particularly beautiful for a reason that is difficult for me to put into words. It is a certain "androgyny" aspect, but that does not quite capture it. Rather, it is that I can see the birth person a bit in the face. I am choosing my words carefully, because I would never say to any transwoman that "I can see what you once were," because I truly believe that what my transwomen friends ALWAYS were is what they have "transitioned" to be today.

Nevertheless, there is a handful of trans pornstars who have this "look" to which I refer, and I find them particularly beautiful.

Ah, wonderful subjectivity! As Shakespeare wrote in A Midsummer Night's Dream:

"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."

Haha... Yeah. There are a lot of us trans women that would get self conscious about a statement like that. Even as how you put it.
But I'd just go right out and say it, and have. "I can see you have masculine features in your face. But than many cisgender women have masculine features as well. And I find it just as attractive on them as I do on trans women."

Well, with all due respect, I think you can get away with just coming out and saying it a lot easier than can I.
