LB subculture...

[f0xxee]

Hi Wombatos,

As one who lives with a LB fulltime let me fill you in on their mysterious ways.

First and foremostly they eat. A lot. At anytime or place. 6-7 meals a day. How they remain slim is a mystery. Except they dont remain slim for long if they toss in the regular Thai/Issan diet and move onto western fare.

Secondly talking to the missus about it and she had no doubts that she was a girl from an early age... say 5-6 years old. She was encouraged by her grandmother, and not discouraged by her loving parents, so she is well adjusted. It is still regarded as shameful to have a ladyboy in the family: this can be mitigated by earning good money and looking after the family and doing good works in the name of the family. So they start off from a less than zero starting point.

Thirdly just because they want to be girls does not mean they all want GRS. (cock-lopping). Some are happy to be girls in all but function. Others feel the psychological need.

They do not go back to Issan (a point made by my learned collegue Jimslim) to plough the fields in sequins either: most have never performed manual work, as they have been "ladies" since an early age. Some may have, but would not likely be looking forward to returning to it.

YOur comment that they become Ladyboys because of peer or financial pressure is I believe mis-informed. It is a childhood awakening that often lasts a lifetime.

Interesting that you wrote this.

Many ladyboy & femboy pictures are posted on the various pages of this forum and there is always debate on what constitutes a femboy vs ladyboy based on appearance.

On my recent meandering in the WWW, i read a post which simply stated

Ladyboys view themselves as girls (which is exactly what you have stated)

Femboys view themselves as boys.

Both like boys.

Don't know if that's the way some of the more seasoned femboy lovers see it, but it was just a quote from another long term journeyman.

Just normal stuff I think. Has sleeping been mentioned? Ok, not shaving maybe - but powdering out the 5o'clock shadow (or getting laser treatment)

Most LBs I know well say they 'knew' they were girls from age 5 or less.  One told me her grandmum guessed she was a ladyboy when she was only 3! 'Wanted to play with dolls'  not 'kick football' like other boys.

Ok there must be some opportunists, and some who were restricted by being the first-born son of a Chinese/Thai family, or just gay boys.  But to me 'Camp' = Gay boys (usually)

I have had a ladyboy girlfriend for 3 years. She does eat a mountain of food when I pay and I pay for everything when we are together. Just another human being who likes to watch TV and movies, eat out in restaurants, take drives around the hills above town. I would say that there is a lack of self confidence in public so she tends to be very careful about cleanliness and her appearance.
