This will be a series of exchanges between Mistress Amelia Rodgers and me, Pretty Sissy Dani. It begins with this question from Mistress Amelia:
"What do you feel are the three most critical aspects/trainings of sissification?"
Sissification involves humiliation. Feminization does not. A sissy is feminized to be humiliated and trained to be submissive (sissification). A crossdresser is feminized but isn't necessarily humiliated. There is some overlap between the two. Sissification is a subset of feminization, specifically focusing on acting like a sissy
Pretty Sissy Dani responds:
On the whole, I agree—but in my case there was no training necessary for either humiliation or submission. From the time I first realized I was a sissy (in my “tween” years), I was naturally feminine and submissive. I desired a dominant female to take charge of me and improve my feminine nature. She wouldn’t have to force me into anything…but guide me, especially when I resisted for societal and cultural reasons.
On the other hand, I think even a non-sissy crossdresser feels humiliation when seen in feminine attire—even clothes that are perfectly normal and ordinary for the occasion. He knows he is not a girl or woman and that society would view him as lowering himself by presenting as one. (Even though he knows, deep down, that such thinking is nonsense. In all respects, women are superior, aren’t they?)
Although I love seeing them, I have never had any interest in being a little girl sissy. My self-image as Dani ranges in age from about 16 to 30. (Yes, I continued to dress well into my 60s, but even then my style choices were more suited to younger girls--short skirts, very high heels.)
Acting like a sissy in that age range involves smiling and flirting, showing off the sexier side of your personality (but without descending to “bimbo,” which is a whole different thing). A sissy wants to be stereotypically girlish.
Does that answer your question?
Now, a question for Mistress Amelia: What is the proper age to begin a male’s feminization/sissification?
I think it is best to start at puberty, when it is easiest to tie all the necessary changes to his awakening sexual awareness.
