Pantyhose Vs Stockings

Comfort, fashion or erotic appeal?

I enjoy the possibilities of both pantyhose and traditional nylon and silk stockings but when it comes to choice of what I prefer to wear I’m drawn to the ease and comfort of pantyhose as well as their body shaping qualities. When I was younger the exotic appeal of stockings was unparalleled; they seemed hidden and forbidden. The very nature of their design further enhances the roundness of the legs. Stockings offered access to mysterious areas but pantyhose were what were around.

My mother kept hers in the bathroom closet and that’s where I’d take them from to sneak away to my bedroom and put them on. I never got caught wearing them. I’m sure there were a few close calls with my brother who shared my room but none that I recall now.

I once read that older male children often become “leg men” as opposed to “breast” or “ass men” later in life because as their mother’s held younger siblings to her breast they sought comfort from her by clinging to her legs. I think for many growing up in a time when women traditionally did not wear pants (am I showing my age?) the comfort we felt was of a nylon nature.

So in my budding sexuality and interest in dressing like a girl I had retreated to a comfort zone where I had unknowingly eroticized, legs!

The problem a young man interested in wearing pantyhose faced was in acquiring them.

If I ever noticed a pair of my mother’s ruined hose in the trash I took them.

I swiped a blue pair from a neighbor’s house (my mother wore only nude or black) and in the basement of my best friend’s house I liberated a white pair destined for some craft project from a large bag of his sister’s and mother’s ruined hose.

Eventually I realized I could just buy them myself and when the need arose I’d buy them at drugstores and convenience stores that I seldom shopped in.

And so it went until eventually I wore them in an encounter with my friend E. If he could admit his curiosity and desire to experiment with me sexually I could certainly admit to wanting to wear pantyhose while we did it (at least occasionally). Once that happened there was almost no turning back. The fetish was developing and in the years to come it would manifest in many different ways.

The advent of the Internet and sites solely devoted to pantyhose and nylon fetishism was an awakening. There are others like me.

I enjoy the way nylons feel when I rub my legs together and the sound they make. I like the round smooth feeling of my ass when I wear them and the tingly excitement when I caress another pair of hose covered legs with my own.

I love pantyhose. I love to wear them and always notice when women are wearing them.

I’m sure I’ll have more to share on this topic in the future.
