About male features among shemales

It makes sence if that would be the case for most of the shemale admirers..you all love the femininity of us shemales combine with A HINT of "male-ness" (exept between the legs, that part could be very male I guess )

I just want to make clear that the generalization about "most of the shemale admirers" is yours, not something I wrote. I can only explain for myself. I think from reading posts on this site over a couple of years that there are plenty of "shemale admirers" who ONLY are attracted to the most feminine-looking (and indiscernibly "male") Asians, for example.

I don't have a solid, consistent answer. When I was younger, I used to think that I avoided "masculine" features and saw them as unattractive, but I've noticed over time that that's simply not true. I've found many of these women very attractive, and found others who are more "feminine" less attractive.

As with any type of woman, I have a real hard time quantifying what exactly it is that makes me find one attractive and another not. There are some that "objectively" seem like they should be more attractive (as in your average guy would probably consider them attractive), but I don't always find them attractive.

Eye of the beholder, I guess.

It isn't always simply the penis dangling temptingly between TS legs that is the be-all and end-all with regards to attraction towards TSs. The masculinity, most often subtle, but sometimes obvious, is a very attractive aspect of some TS girls. I speak on behalf of myself here anyway.

Well..something of the male-ness in the shemale appereance must be very attractive..otherwise..well..why not stuck to gg-girls?

"Masculine" features which often t-girls have ARE very attractive. I agree. I wouldn't personally want to narrow my mind down to an extent where I could only appreciate GGs.

That's spot on!

But to confuse matters a bit more, for me, at least, her "male-features" are no longer masculine but become part of her femininity... her penis for example is no longer that of a man but part of her unique femininity as a trans*woman.

The point is that nobody knows how to explain our individual sexual orientations - neurological science is most like much closer to understand gender identification (i.e. why are some born transsexual) than sexual orientation. We seem to understand hetero, bi, and homo, so we tend to want to explain sexual orientation within this accepted framework. So when a guy exclaims his love for cock and femininity at the same time, well, then people gets a little confused... :-)

But again, you nailed it pretty much in your statement above :-)

Best wishes!

And to continue...

The point in understanding all this, I guess, is to get a common idea of the attributes that define femininity/masculinity. For me it would be face, body shape and movements. Genitalia have no real influence on my perception of gender - or do they still, but I just don't know that they do?

I've been an out-of-the-closet gynemimetophile (trans*lover) for the past six years and am still pondering the nature of my attraction to trans*women :-)

Quite often, people will obviously ask me if I'm gay, and my reply - that by the way doesn't help them much - usually is: No, I don't think so as I'm not attracted to masculinity. I just adore my woman with her hard-on...

First of all, I regard m2f ts as woman. Now you do have gender women who look more men than woman.
Myself I'm attracked to women, what attrackts me towards a shemale is her femininity. The way she moves, smiles, talks... As to features, it all depends on the person I guess. I've been attracked to shemales who have some male features, but when you look at her, she is all woman. (hope I make sense here)

I think most of us are with you on this one.

Welcome!!!
