Original Post:
While we were brushing our teeth to get ready to go to bed you told me you read about autogynephilia, the paraphilia/fetish/kink of being excited by feeling like a woman, and it shook you up a little. Now you're in bed, in your t-shirt instead of your babydoll.
I take my shirt off and slide into bed with you.
The babydoll in the title refers to an article of clothing. There's no age or incest implied in this. Just boyfriend and girlfriend.
Retrospective:
Some sex researchers proposed the idea of a paraphilia called "autogynephilia" which, by their definition, any trans woman who isn't exclusively attracted to men could have. It describes being excited about the idea of oneself as a woman. Fantasizing with yourself in a woman's body, with yourself in the role of a woman, being excited by your image as a woman.. Thing is, these are all too relatable feelings for pretty much anyone. When I fantasize, I'm a man in my own fantasies - but not because I'm creepily obsessed with (my) manhood but simply because that's me. So, what's especially insidious about this idea of "autogynephilia" is that it describes feelings that may well exist, in varying degrees - it's just dangerous to make it out to be a paraphilia, with the implication that if you feel like this you're not actually a woman but a man with a fetish. Like that message isn't pervasive enough...
So in this audio I wanted to make you feel better about finding, e.g. your babydoll or your breasts exciting. That's not weird: They are exciting!
Obviously the audio can't address the issue on an academic level.
