Dressed for hiking

[Susann_Gardener]

Beauty, That is an interesting observation. I can’t say I will be consistent going forward. What I can say is that I do feel that are a part of me (ie breasts) when wearing them. This attitude also helps me in dealing with meeting people. See – this is just me – how I am.

CJ, Weight is not a real problem. Forms are 400cc each or about 2 pounds total. My pack is about 25 lbs now as I am day hiking and don’t have tent, sleeping bag, or lots of food. I even carry a water filter so don’t have to carry a lot of water.

As for the negatives you mention, I enjoy having breasts. All the issues are simply a side effect of having them.

Exhibitionist? -- Well, this is one of the few times I get to CD, and even fewer to go out. I would say I’m taking advantage of the opportunity.

No offence taken by your comment, understand comes through communication.

Hi Susann,

Thanks! Got it!

I wanted to give my take on CJ's comment

I remeber reading about a guy who ran across the Grand Canyon. Everyone said things like what was he trying to prove, how fast and strong he was, and how did he get to see anything while running.

His reply was interesting and as a former runner I related to it.

He said yes he slowly walked through the canyon many times. Eventually that wasn't enough. He wanted to be the eagle soaring over the canyon, the deer running through the canyon. And the closest he could come to that was by running down one rim and up the other 25 miles away as fast as he could.

It made perfect sense to me. Another way I experinced the Grand Canyon was by making love one night to a total stranger I met there jusrt before nightfall. It wouldn't have been the same if it hadn't been in a totally anonymous wilderness. No we weren't supposed to see each other again, only treasure the memory.

I am wondering if any of the breast forms for hiking feelings are in this vein-another way to experience the wilderness. Because for me the idea of hiking along the AT wearing nothing but my boots, socks, panties and slip is very appealing even though I am not about to do it any time someone might see me. I don't think it would be asnything like going to a club and passing

I have posted to this thread before about wondering why you would wear large breast for hiking when you really don't have to and I still don't get it.
Thanks, CJ, for expressing what I was trying to hint at, exhibitionism.

I wonder what, exactly, you are looking to get from interaction with others when hiking as a man in all other respects with large breasts bouncing and jiggling as you hike. I can tell you, as a GG who has seen this spectical in real life on the street recently, that the sight of a man with bouncing breasts is disturbing. Its not attractive regardless of how good it makes you feel. I certainly do not intend to be hurtful, I just don't know how else to say this.

What I can say is that I do feel that are a part of me (ie breasts) when wearing them. This attitude also helps me in dealing with meeting people. See – this is just me – how I am.

I just read this entire thread through for the first time earlier this afternoon. And I noticed that you indicated that you sort of kept your distance from other people while hiking with your forms. You indicated several times that you tended to avoid conservation with others on the trail.

I also do not intend to mean, but it appears to me you are not doing anything here that would improve the public’s opinion of us. Perhaps the exact opposite.

I don’t get it Susaan. This along with parents making sure their families don’t get to close to you helps you in dealing with meeting people. Enlighten me?

I’m really glad this has developed into some conversation. I think it’s good.
Several have mentioned “large breasts”. Do you really think a 38C (or sometimes a small D) on a 5’6” 165# person is all that large?

Andrea, I like the running analogy. All I can say, for my reasoning, is that I like both activities, and I think I can combine them. Yes, I have experienced some discomfort around others, but I’m working on that from my side. I can’t help the other people.

Terry (SO), as I said before, I really don’t think exhibitionism enter into it. Really, quite the contrary. What I want to do is take advantage of one activity (hiking) to do another (CD). When I encounter others, I really get quite nervous.

Darlene, I was thinking last night that I was not improving our image with others. For that I am sorry, but what can I do, short of not doing what I want. I know, I could not do this, but whats the fun in that? I would be fine if there were no other people on the trail except me. It’s the fact that they are there, and there is nothing I can do about it, that drives me to have to deal with them. I’m not pushing an issue, simply trying to deal with it.

Hi Susann,

Dang it. lol.. You contradicted yourself, to me.

If you want to enjoy hiking and you don't want to hurt other TG'd folks then you'd go way out of your way to cover them up or make them less noticeable. Without a doubt you are not helping TG'd people you are making us look weirder by you doing something for yourself. You've stated very clearly that you want to have fun and that's cool. I do things I want to do too.

Because you are kind of flaunting them I do think you are being an exhibitionist. No doubt in my mind about that actually. I thought you were saying, "I know I am." 38 Cs are breast implants and so are D's. If they didn't stick out why would people walk away from you, ya know?

I agree you can't help other people, but wearing breast forms in a family area isn't too cool. It's cool because you feel like you're expressing yourself, but it's not cool in general to people who view you as a threat more than odd.

By hiking in obvious breast forms you are pushing the issue that you want to express yourself when you want and you feel you're doing the best to cover up and stay away from people as much as possible.

I'll continue to read your thread. I find the interactions interesting. This thread has been pretty enlightening. Just because I'm critical of what you're doing doesn't mean I don't care about you as a person. You are a very precious member of the forum Susann and I understand if this is how you want to express yourself this is how you will do it. Sharing it with us isn't a bad thing. Since we can't understand your reasoning or understand why you're doing this we just have questions and come to our own conclusions.

Susann,
Yes, size C and D breasts are large even if you are tall.
And if they sway, bounce or jiggle when you walk, they will attract attention. It is pretty poor taste for a woman to walk in such a way as to make her breasts move and flaunt them. It is even worse for a man to wear fake breasts and do it. I'll rely on the CDs to correct me if I'm wrong but I do not think wearing breast forms while otherwise essentially presenting as a man is crossdressing. I seems to me, regardless of how nervous you may say you feel, that you are looking for attention. Perhaps trying to shock people? To get some kind of reaction?

[Susann_Gardener]

Beauty, I thought I was getting way out of the way, by walking several miles into the woods. I don’t go to malls dressed like this. I do go skiing in the winter, but I’m well covered then, as you suggest. I don’t want to give TG folks a bad rap, so I am as discreet as I can be and still do what I enjoy. Yup, they do stick out, and yes, I like that. Going to remote areas is what I do to mitigate that.

Terry (SO), so, by a vote of 2 they are large, ok, large it is. They don’t bounce and jiggle while I hike, as my pack straps stop that. Also, I have (or will tomorrow) changed bras to a Playtex Secrets, which does not allow any movement. I have to say, and you can choose to believe or not, that I do not want attention. That is why I have chosen to wear my forms away from people, as much as I can.
I will give thought to the idea of exhibitionism, but I don’t think I will buy into it.

This is good conversation.

From CJ's CD 101 thread:
"-- Have fun being who you are--regardless of what others think. "

Point taken
I would only add to it...
As long as nobody gets hurt and you don't necessarily expect positive reactions to your idea of fun

The trouble is that the Whites in the summer are not really remote. Maybe in the fall before the killer weather sets in you could have more concealment with your clothing

Some time ago I spent a week in the South Matzatls (spelling?) about 70 miles from Phoenix and did not see anyone outside of our group or even another footprint the entire time. It is near the Superstitions which get a lot more visitors. It was in April and the weather was absolutely wonderful with plenty of water. A friend of mine said the same thing about North Cascades but she said the hiking was much harder than the Whites due to lack of actual trails-lots of bushwacking and rain.

I also spent several wonderful days in Capitol Reef in October seeing noone. Lots of water if you plan the route correctly and didn't even use the tent. Try it and bring a dress or two.

On another note in your time in the Whites did you meet Guy Waterman. I did once years ago. He was a nice guy and an inspiration to a confused young man. I was very sorry to hear of the manner of his passing

Why not try just getting out in full face If the intent is just to feel the jiggle, that should be pretty easy to do. Dress for hiking maybe with jeans and a big hiking jacket. In the fall as the weather cools this should be pretty easy. I know that I have gone walking many times while dressed just worn jeans, sneakers, maybe a femine type jacket and with just light makeup. I have picked a good neighborhood in the city and a time of day with little ped traffic, da time. I have never had a problem and had very little interaction with anybody on the street.
I enjoy hiking but have never tried it enfem. It might be kind of like broccili on my pizza. Ya never know till you try.... Sallee

Did another hike last Friday. The route was up and back the same trail, 13.6 miles, to the summits of Mt Flume and Mt. Liberty, taking 8 hours. To Andrea’s point of the whites being isolated, there was a 4 mile stretch of trail (Osseo) where I met no one. Actually met a woman who was jogging the Wilderness trail and we exchanged “good mornings” and “have a nice hike”. At the very end of the hike a mixed group of people were going in the opposite direction and one of the women gave me a very knowing smile.

There were a number of people at the summit of Mt. Liberty, it was lunch time, so I simply took a position off to the side. At one point after eating, I laid down on a rock, but when another large group arrived, I sat up and was more discrete. Laying down I was pretty obvious.

The bra I wore was an improvement as far as shifting down, but I did miss the bit of natural jiggle my other bra allowed. Will be looking for a bra with a wide back band and soft, micro fiber cups. Any suggestions?

Terry(so) Thanks for the quote. "-- Have fun being who you are--regardless of what others think. "

Sallee, Appreciate your suggestion, but hiking overdressed as you describe would be torture. I have hiked some in the winter, and it is amazing how little clothing you can wear. Sweating in winter is darn dangerous, and step one to hypothermia.

Beauty, Terry(so),
I did a lot of thinking about exhibitionism while hiking, and think it might be a good topic for another thread. I look around at women every where I go, and see exhibitionism. Right here I have an associate, a little twig of a woman, who varies from a B cup, to C and D daily. She doesn’t quite have enough padding to fill the D, as the top of the cup shows being empty. There are lots of examples. I don’t think I’m anywhere near the level of exhibitionism the GGs are. Your thoughts on a thread?

Hi Susann,

You could just wear a KILT when on a hike.

Then again a pretty; pink, full skirt with a petticoat underneath would be fun.

But not the high heels honey
