One thing I've come to believe -- if you bottle too much stuff up, try to force yourself to be something that you aren't, it's going to be a constant struggle and your feelings are just going to reassert themselves. You end up like Larry Craig, trying desperately to maintain appearances but always being pulled back into being gay/fem or whatever you really are. So I guess the question comes down to is it worse to pretend to be Mr. Macho when you aren't, or to face discrimination. Different people make different compromises. I have a friend forex who crossdresses in private, and in public wears somewhat feminine clothing that's on the edge but doesn't quite cross the line.
If OTOH you want to change through hypnosis, maybe jockdom just isn't the right thing for you? As it isn't for me. I mean, we're talking extremes here. I'm thinking that a more moderate file that made you happier with your masculine side might be more effective.
Hmm, you're making some good points here. It's true that I am not the most macho guy ever and I'll probably never will be. I would like to be though, mainly for carreer & girl-reasons.
On the other hand I already had much attention from girls before I wanted to go all masculine. Maybe that's some sort of subconcious compromise I made during puberty for not being able to be that hot girl. Because during puberty I decided I wanted girls to look at me in the way that I looked at hot girls. So that need of physical attention is a pretty feminine aspect no? Actually I have several feminine charactertraits. I take good care of my hair, I dress well, I like to go shopping on my own once in a while, I like soft music, etc.
Probably the attraction to this gaycurse file is partly due the underlaying desire to be feminine. Girls like boys.
& I know that if I would just think about my old femine fantasies I'll get arroused. So yes it's still there and I'm realising it will probably forever be. Maybe this sexual excitement for being feminine is the sexual outing of these female characteristics I already own. In a way 'I have a girl in me'?
So yes, you have good points, why don't you enjoy it, instead of pretending something you're not.
BUT I'm afraid that starting again with these or other files will make me really feel more and more feminine again and that is something my recent and past girlfriend are/were not attracted to f.e. I remember her saying "who is the man in this relationship?" or my friends looking down on me & mocking me (very frequently in the period i was listening to fem/sissyfiles) that I acted like a girl. Ofcourse the submissive undertones of these files made me sexually like these negative and humiliating experiences. This reinforced the whole submissive thing. (Something I started to counterbalance since last year with more masculine & macho fantasies)
I never told anyone about these femfeelings, or that I was listening to these files. But they seemed to affect my personality in a way that I was displaying this feminity much more outwardly than i did before I listened to them (like the wise words: "you are what you believe you are"). So I would like to listen to files again, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to find the right balance and that it will start to affect my social life again.
Wow that was some serious self-reflecting. :)
