my husband likes to wear women stockings?

Question

what's the deal there? he's not gay he says that the stockings help his injured knee.......i think it is deeper than that

Answer 1

It could be as simple as he tried it and decided he liked it. It could very well be that it does help circulation and that benefits his knee. There are surgical stockings available through medical outlets in several strengths, mainly for circulatory problems. His use of stockings, women's pantyhose I assume, may just be a cheaper alternative. My mom had to wear surgical stockings and they were NOT cheap. Years ago, I knew (still know in fact) a guy who wore pantyhose all the time. I never knew until one day, I got a bad sunburn. I didn't get the sunblock spread very well and the tops of my thighs got it bad. Wearing my regular pants was excruciating as the material rubbed my legs. At the time I was married, and my wife suggested pantyhose, which she promptly went out and bought. Who knew that they made queen size pantyhose which would fit my 6 foot, 200# frame. So, I tried them and they worked like a charm to keep the fabric of my pants from rubbing on my skin directly. It was a bit awkward since I had no experience, but I learned, just like you women do. My wife thought it hilarious to watch me put them on. One day, in the men's room at work, a friend observed me rearranging my shirt after using the facilities and promptly shared that he was wearing pantyhose. I explained I was wearing them because of my sunburn, and he explained he did because he liked the way they felt. Interesting. After work, we met up for a beer as we did from time to time and I asked why. It turned out years ago, for an initiation thing, he had to dress up as a woman, and decided he liked the way pantyhose felt so he just didn't stop. I have to admit, after my sunburn healed enough to not need the separation, I DID wear them for several more days than absolutely necessary... I have not had the urge or need to wear pantyhose since that one occasion, but I still have my friend who does. Cross-dressing is not a crime, nor a sin, and does not make a person gay. If you think about it, you, as a woman, cross-dress every day and think absolutely nothing of it. There was a time, and it wasn't all that long ago, when women did not wear pants. I think I might start to worry if he starts asking what size bra he should buy, but otherwise I think his use is mostly harmless and could very well be just a cheaper alternative to surgical stockings.

Husband Wears Stockings

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, stockings were first worn by Roman men and they were called tights. The Roman men started wearing tights after they created and wore the first miniskirts.

Your husband is far from the only male wearing stockings. There is a company now producing stockings designed for men.

By the way, women now wear every piece of clothing that used to be male only. Why is it so surprising that men would take back clothing they used to wear.

Look at my source list for more information.

Take care,

Men have always liked women to be more proper, including the way she dresses. With stockings and/or pantyhose under a dress or skirt, it always looks a lot better than going bare legged. With pantyhose or stockings, it brings out the full potential of what the woman is wearing. Not only that, the pantyhose or stockings have the same effects as make up, as it does cover up those imperfections on her legs, such as scars, bruises, blemishes, uneven skin tone, redness and provides an even coverage on her legs.

Answer 5

Maybe he wears them because you don't. They are really quite nice, I won't wear pantyhose, but I wear stockings to work everyday, and they are fun in bed too. Try it , you may like it. I think the guy just has a stocking fetish and you aren't satisfying him.

Almost all the guys I have ever encountered love a woman in stockings and a garter blet , so he isn't alone in that respect.

Answer 6

a few years go my mum caught me going through her stocking drawer and i said i liked the feel of them. she asked had i worn them and i truthfully said no. she asked would i like to try a pair on and i said yes. she put me in a girdle and a pair of fully fashioned stockings and i loved the feel on my legs. my mum now lets me wear stockings and heels at home whenever i like which is every day i also shave my legs as well.i go to work in them under my trousers and nobody is the wiser. i have on occasion totally dressed up as a woman with my mums help. she says its normal. am i a tv? probably.

Answer 7

Why are you wasting your time on something that is so unimportant? Joe Namath, the Super Bowl winning quarterback for the NY Jets in 1968/69 used to wear pantyhose all the time when he was playing professional football. No biggie here - let it go.

Answer 8

Actually it is true that when you have leg injury, specially if this affects your blood flow, they will recommend the use of stockings. They are some that you buy at medical supplies stores but the ones you buy at the store are good enough in most of the cases.

Answer 9

He probably just has a thing for nylons. I always wear stockings and a garterbelt because I prefer them and most men go crazy over them.

Use it to your advantage, wear them too, and I guarantee he will be twice the man he usually is. when I wear mine to bed they guys always out perform themselves. It drives them crazy. If he doesn't notice them on you then he is gay, but I bet he just has a nylon fetish, most men who prefer women with nice legs do over big boobs do.

Answer 10

I think he is crying out for you to wear them more. I find men really get turned on by nylons and a garter belt, and to tell the truth, so do I.

They feel great and look better, and the men die for them. they are also the easiest way I know of to get a man to go for anything you want.

I wear mine to bed every Saturday night for my hubby, usually after he has taken me to a great restaurant, and whatever show, play or movie that i wanted to see. My secret is that I look foreword to it nearly as much as he does, but I never let on.
