I always remember thinking how bland men's underwear was compared to women's. In the animal kingdom, the male usually has the prettiest colors. Not so in people. I suppose traditionally, men's underwear is supposed to be functional while women's are fashionable.
I was a late maturing kid. I was probably about two years behind some of my classmates. When I did get my growth spurt, I was still small for my age. I finally grew to about 5'-7" and topped out. After maturing some, I managed to run cross country. I was not muscular, but the training was very helpful. I did not think much about lingerie during those years.
During college, I started dating a hometown girl two years younger than me. It was my first real girl friend and I was head over heels in love. She was still in high school and managed to have a few boyfriends there while dating me on the weekends. When we finally had sex, she turned out to be a virgin. I later believed that she let me pop her cherry so she could enjoy sex with her high school boyfriends as well as me.
It was a tumultuous courtship and she assured me that the guys trying to date her were just bothering her. During my senior year in college, we got married and tried to live on love. Marriage was what she said she wanted, but after a few months, living on love and little money was not to her liking. After two years we were done and she moved on to greener pastures.
I was devastated. I changed jobs and started in a new career which took virtually all of my time. After the marriage ended I was very unsure of myself and afraid to try to start a relationship. At this time masturbation was my only outlet. I did have sex with a few prostitutes, but I was totally inept at picking up women.
Eventually I met a much younger woman who had a dynamite body and a bubbly personality. I knew her for months through other people. She was very nice and outgoing. An accidental conversation among friends ended up with someone implying that we should date. In a roundabout way, she did not discourage the idea, so I asked her out for real. I really thought this was a onetime pity date. I enjoyed the company of a beautiful younger woman and assumed we would drift apart after a few dates. We ended up getting married.
Going back to the time after my divorce, the lack of sex and my inability to start a new relationship left me horny as hell. After a while, masturbation became unsatisfying. I re-discovered the love of panties. I would order from department stores and get everything delivered by mail. I ended up buying some pretty sexy panties and body suits from Fredrick's of Hollywood.
My new girlfriend, Jessica, had no idea that I had a panty stash that I wore during masturbation and occasionally out. As we continued dating, I fell in love again. This time it was with a more vibrant and self assured woman. I could not believe that I got so lucky to attract such a beautiful woman. She is 5-8, just slightly taller than me. She has the most beautiful hourglass figure I have ever seen. Her hips are slightly large but not fat. What sets her aside is that she has a twenty inch waist. Also, she carries a 34D bust. The most outstanding feature is that tiny waist flaring into her magnificent hips and ass.
As our relationship grew and we talked of getting married, I decided I had better get rid of my panties and lingerie. I reluctantly tossed all my pretty things into the trash.
Before our wedding, her friends threw her a lingerie shower. I was quite impressed with the bridal lingerie when she showed me. Our relationship was never built on sex, but sex was great after we were married. I could not make her cum with my cock, but she loved oral sex and I could make her scream and moan when I ate her pussy. The combination of her sexy body and her pretty lingerie turned me on constantly.
My work was very demanding and I traveled much of the time. I was on projects for months at a time. Some of the projects allowed me to travel home occasionally. Some did not. As I was missing so much sex and I had no desire to go out and cheat on Jessica, I resorted to masturbation between my trips home. I ended up getting a new assortment of lingerie from on line stores and eventually worked up the courage to go into retail stores and pick out my own items in person. I got some looks from the clerks, but not as much scrutiny as I had anticipated.
After this the issue became how to keep these items and not be found out. I gathered a larger collection than I could hide sometimes and when the project ended, I would throw some of the lingerie out before I returned home. As time passed and I got bolder, I started reading stories on line about crossdressers and female impersonators. I became hot to try to dress as a woman. I slowly purchased a stash of makeup, lingerie and clothing from the retail stores. I went to large resale shops and purchased some skirts, blouses and shoes. I was surprised how easy it was to find sexy high heels in good condition at these shops. As I stated, I am not a large person and my muscles are more of the long and skinny, so I fit reasonably well into feminine clothing. I really needed more ass. I tried towels in my panties, but they were too lumpy.
Eventually I ordered a shapewear girdle with padding and contouring. Then I took the real risk of getting D cup breastforms on Ebay. When they arrived, I went out and purchased a sexy D cup bra. Finally one night I started applying makeup and dressing in my new clothes. I was not great at first doing my own makeup, but after a while and some selfies, I improved to the point of being competent. After about a week of practice, I got good enough to apply a good foundation, eye makeup and lipstick. It made a real difference and when I looked in the mirror, I saw a reasonably good looking woman. I have light hair and I wore dark pantyhose to cover up the hair that is on my legs.
I placed a towel over my head and looked at my new self. I decided that with a good wig, I might be able to pass myself off as a woman. I devised a plot. I went to a wig styling shop and told the female manager that one of my friends was undergoing chemotherapy treatments for cancer and that a few of the guys were going to throw him a party when he felt better. Since he had lost all his hair, we were going to all wear wigs as a joke. She seemed a little skeptical, but after some thought, she mentioned that she did have a pretty good medium length brunette wig that someone had not claimed for over a year.
