Years ago, when researching about my inner urges to crossdress, I looked for a lot of material — both from psychological research and also from the community — for an explanation. It is a very well-researched fact that all transgendered people will do that — even more so, in this age […]

A decade ago, I met a very interesting person on the virtual world of Second Life. She would certainly describe herself as autogynephilic[*] (i.e. getting excited with her own image as a female), but she didn’t crossdress (although she was always intrigued by the possibilities). She did, however, use a […]
Malcolm Gladwell defined on his book Outliers that to achieve extraordinary performance in a field of study, it takes about 10,000 hours of practice. This number came from research into the lives of very successful people in several areas, and the conclusion was about the same. While this theory has been […]
First of all, I hope you had all wonderful holidays 🙂 And I sincerely wish you a happy new year — may all wishes come true, as the song goes. The week before Christmas I had a chat with my wife, instead of crossdressing at the time I hoped for. […]

Buddhist practice is tough; do it long enough, and you really start to question everything — specially one’s own ideas, which is precisely what it is supposed to achieve. I can say that sometimes I’m often even more “confused”. Let me try to explain! Gender is actually irrelevant for Buddhist […]
As promised, here is a follow-up post from the last one, where I started to hint about the direction my recent thoughts have been taken me. Some of these might be too intellectual for your tastes. Some might be too obvious. Some might just be a repetition of past reflections: […]
Well, against all my previous pessimistic previsions, the crossdressing vacation went ahead. A miracle, for sure, but one that was quite welcome. There were several moments where everything might have worked out wrong. For instance, as said, we got a voucher from my mother-in-law — but until the day before […]
