I don’t get it. I am open minded to fetishes, I have a few of my own. But in the back of the weekly Forward Times or whatever it is called in your city are erotic ads.
I can understand women advertising to guys, even guys advertising to guys. But what is with these ads for transexuals. If I wanted a girl I would want the real deal. I don’t see the appeal from a gay guy either.
Perhaps we could get Eddie Murphy or Danny Bonaduce to field this one?
Having lived in Hollywood for a while, i can say it is 2 things: 1.the unusual, the bizarre, the different, ie help for the jaded. 2. It is generally thought that these “shemales” are less inhibited. And some are VERY good looking.
Having worked West Hollywood station, I agree with Daniel…some are killer beautiful. And they WANT to prove that they are women.
A couple of years ago there was a show on Australian TV that made a few insights into sex and sexual atraction. It looked at the differences bewteen hetero and homosexuality, and checked out a couple of the common fetishes.
Almost as an afterthought, an interview was conducted with a stunningly beautiful transexual. He/she confessed to growing up with an ambiguous sexual identity, and had decided that sitting on the fence was a reasonable compromise at this stage. What was surprising was the revelation that a huge number of otherwise “straight” men had sought sexual encounters with her, including being on the receiving end. It seems as though they were intrigued by the idea of a homosexual experience, but the actuality of doing it with an other male was too much. The transexual was a way of satisfying the curiosity, a sort of bridge bewteen hetero sex and a full on homoerotic encounter.
