  • Question
    How do I shave my pubic hair?
    Community Answer
    Rinse the area for about two minutes with very warm water (take care that the water isn't hot enough to burn or scald your skin). This will soften the hair shaft and make the area easier to shave. You'll definitely need to use some shaving cream or gel if your hair is course and wiry. Go slow, shave in the direction of the hair growth, and make sure you stretch the skin around you scrotum so you don't cut your skin. Remember to go slow and be careful. To prevent after-shave irritation, apply an after-shave gel specifically formulated for the pubic region to the area.
  • Question
    Isn't it more about your demeanor than appearance?
    Community Answer
    That depends on what you define as feminine, but using refined mannerisms, walking with upright posture, and swaying and/or rotating your hips in a forward and back motion could usually be considered feminine mannerisms.
  • Question
    What if your parents won't accept you doing it, but you really want to?

    Community Answer
    This one's really difficult to answer. It entirely depends on who your parents are and what your own goals are when it comes to this kind of thing. If your parents see feminine men as a bad thing, unfortunately all you can do is wait it out. You can still do it without them knowing. Just make sure you behave more masculine around the house. Bring a change of clothes with you if you want to wear feminine clothes when you go out.

    How can I convince my parents to let me grow long, feminine hair?
    Community Answer
    Tell them how you feel about this and why you want long hair. Try showing them some pictures of guys with hair that looks like you want yours to look, and calmly explain that since it's your hair, you believe you should have a say in what you do with it.
  • Question
    How can I keep my legs from getting razor burn?
    Community Answer
    I can't give a foolproof answer, but using a lot of soap or shaving cream beforehand helps a bunch, and using lotion afterwards helps too. It's also very important to use a sharp razor! Don't use a disposable one for too long.
  • Question
    What if you're "too young" to get nails done, or just being a feminine guy in general?
    Community Answer
    If you're too young to get nails, then talk to your parents or a trusted adult. Tell them how you feel, and maybe you can work out a compromise. If not, you will have to wait till you are old enough to do this on your own.

  • Question
    Is there anything I can take that will help me grow breasts?
    Community Answer
    Estrogen is the typical female hormone taken to grow breasts. Having said this, there are always other hormones that your doctor could prescribe. Most will have other side effects, but are usually not minded by the user, such as longer hair, a more feminine voice, and feminine feelings.

    You can use estradiol to stop your beard from growing. Also anti-androgen will increase estradiol's effect. If you can't buy these, just eat soybean, flax seed, fruits and tofu.

    Sure! Anyone can be feminine, masculine, or androgynous if they want to. Age has very little to do with it. :)
  • Question
    Does this make me a homosexual?
    VultureSniper
    Community Answer
    No. Being homosexual and being feminine (or effeminate) are two very different things. Being homosexual just means you are attracted to others of your gender. Being feminine means you have behavioral traits and/or physical traits associated with women and girls, or you dress and present yourself like a woman (in terms of skincare, hairstyle, and clothing).
