It is the male, testosterone fueled, personality that will press forward on a dare, knock a chip of another's shoulder, brawl in the street, press the metal to the floor, live life on the edge, etc.. <br /><br />I believe that there is more of the adreneline junkie in the male persona than the female. If it were only our female side, which seeks safety, security, certainty, acceptance, etc. then none of us would ever get out of the house. We would be satisfied with dressing for our own amusement, pleasure and entertainment. We would not do anything that would entail risks. <br /><br />On the other hand it is our male world view that enables us to get dressed, get out of the house, go to a TG meeting, fly across country, shop, bar hop, whatever. We know, no matter how good we look and how well we may pass in general, that there is always the risk of getting clocked. It is the male side that will take the risks in order to get that rush of adreneline. High risk/reward motivation is part of being out in public while dressed.<br /><br />We all hear about mothers telling their sons to wear clean underwear in the event that we are injured in an accident...not their fathers. Underdressing, getting fully dressed, whatever, takes that maternal admonition to the next level. In your role as father you are naturally concerned with the safety of your children but have you ever double checked on the cleanliness of their underwear?<br /><br />It may be our female side that compels us to dabble in dressing but it may well be the male side that enables us to take the risks involved in getting out the door.<br /><br />Just a thought on my part inspired by reading your adventures.<br /><br />PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-85749515535264803382010-09-12T19:15:10.579-04:002010-09-12T19:15:10.579-04:00Loving this narrative...can't wait for the res...Loving this narrative...can't wait for the rest!A.
