Does every man wearing a dress want to be a woman? No. Does every man who yearns for panties also harbor a secret desire to slip into a long evening gown, wig, high heels and gloves and call himself Contessa Stacy? No. Sometimes a man just wants to wear a dress. No more and no less.

Some men simply want the ability to dress exactly how they please without their masculinity being called into question, or their sexuality being doubted, or without people assuming that they are transitioning into being a woman.

There are two distinct types of men who wear women's clothing. There are the men who love being masculine, but simply happen to enjoy the look or feel of clothing which is currently considered feminine, such as skirts, dresses and some kinds of lingerie; and there are the men for whom dressing in women's clothing is an expression of a feminine side, or even a desire to be feminine.

Men who fit into the first category can become irritated when people assume that just because they want to wear a skirt they are wanting to be female. For these men it is simply an issue of fashion freedom, no more and no less. They retain their male name, they do not create female alter egos and they are almost always straight in their orientation. Women who don't understand that men like this exist can become confused when encountering these kinds of men, and may even not believe them when they explain that they have no interest in actually being feminine, they simply want to be able to wear clothing that they like the look of.

The second category is much larger and much more widely publicized in popular culture. Men who fit into the second category run the gamut from guys who occasionally like to dress in panties and feel girly, to men who want to transition into being women. The bulk of men in this category however wear more than a few items of women's clothing and have an interest in all things feminine. They will take on female names and create female alter egos. For these men, the feminine isn't simply a concept expressed in the opposite gender, it is a reality within themselves, a reality they want to express and enjoy.

Because the first category of men can so easily be mistaken for the early stages of the second category, many people are unaware that it even exists. Thereby comes a great deal of frustration and annoyance for men who simply enjoy the feeling and look of some feminine clothing. Take lingerie, for instance. As any women knows, nice lingerie feels nice against the skin. It's a sensual feeling. Men have just as many, if not more sensual receptors floating about in the skin of their panty region, so it makes total sense that they would also enjoy similar clothing as women do. High cut nylon panties are hugely popular among many men for this reason. For some, it is just about feeling feminine, but for others, it is simply about feeling good. This may come as a surprise, but high cut women's styles actually fit men really well and provide a sensation that isn't achievable in traditional male underwear.

Sometimes a pair of panties is a gateway to the world of femininity, and sometimes a pair of panties is just a pair of panties.
