Academy 4 - Elegance 3 - Female body differences
Hello sissies
Today we will continue with looking at the differences between the male and female body.
Stay calm girls 😉
The Body
Ah the body, I hope I’m being fairly uncontroversial when I say everybody has one! You should be very familiar with your own and aware of at least the basic differences between male and female bodies.
Beyond the obvious, men’s primary genitalia are external whilst women’s are internal, we start to run into problems if we make blanket statements. On average, women are weaker than men and have less muscle mass, they also have a thicker layer of fat under the skin. Women’s breasts contain the equipment necessary to produce milk and are usually larger than men’s and also contain more fat.
Men are generally taller than women and have a higher waist to hip ratio. Men have denser and thicker body hair than women and it tends to grow faster.
So far, so basic. Hopefully reading this quick list has made you realise why you’ve been doing some of the things we’ve asked you to do. These differences also affect how men and women walk and carry themselves.
As with a lot of things, every human body exists on a spectrum. At one end is a hyper-masculine body, this moves to a more general masculine body which leads to androgyny (where the masculine and feminine characteristics are balanced) to a feminine body and final hyper-feminine. Most sissies commonly start somewhere on the masculine to androgynous side of things and dream of becoming hyper-feminine. This isn’t a state you can just jump straight to, you should focus on working your way along the scale. Some of this can be done with better grooming or improving your posture. Some of it can be done with clothing and makeup and, if you decide to go down that route, hormones and surgery can also help bridge the gap.
Masculine vs Feminine perfection?
Let’s break it down
As we said above, a lot of the differences apply to ‘average’ bodies. Men can have more feminine bodies, being born with wider hips or slimmer shoulders and equally, women can more masculine ones. This can also be affected by diet and exercise. Female athletes, especially at the very top end of sports that favour strength over stamina, will have bigger more well developed muscles, much less body fat and as a result, smaller breasts (traditionally masculine qualities). As for how diet can affect things, let’s just say ‘moobs’ and leave it at that.
I know Becca had you looking at men and women ‘in the wild’ during her course and you were paying attention to their posture, their gait and how they sat. These are all affected by what we’ve been discussing. It’s easier for men to walk with their shoulders back and heads up because they don’t have breasts pulling their upper body down. Men don’t thrust their hips forward because it helps them balance (next time you’re out people watching, pay close attention to men’s crotches, watch what they do when they are talking to other men or women, don’t forget to lick your lips every now and then to keep them moist and reapply your lip balm frequently).
Beyond the purely physical, society tells men to be confident and dominant whereas women should be demur and submissive, these messages are also supported with varying degrees of awareness in the media and although things are changing, it frequently operates at a level below conscious awareness so unless you’re really paying attention you won’t even notice anything.
The Face
The head is very important. It contains the majority of our sense organs along with our wonderful brains. It contains a very high number of nerve endings and muscles. Obvious verbal communication is carried out from there but it’s also responsible for a large amount of nonverbal communication.
The male and female face contain the same pieces. Two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two ears but the devil is again in the detail. Puberty is a key factor here, men usually receive a much higher dose of testosterone once their hormones kick in and amongst other changes this will give them a much more prominent brow and upper nose, a larger head and a thicker jaw and chin.
Hair is one of the big facial signifiers of gender. To begin with visible facial hair is an almost exclusively male preserve. Women will generally have some facial hair as well, but it’s usually light, fair and soft and passes unnoticed. Visible facial hair on females is a big no no in almost every society and will be swiftly dealt with. It should go without saying that sissies should be clean shaven (and for those of you unlucky enough to have prominent ear or nose hair, I would recommend either investing in some trimmers or prepare for some eye wateringly uncomfortable plucking) and for the more advanced students, options of dealing with unwanted facial hair on a more permanent basis can be investigated.
Haircuts (or lack of them, women rarely have to deal with baldness) are strongly tied to gender as well, this is why you’ve been growing your hair out or have a wig purchase (or purchases) in your future.
Eyebrows and eyes form a package, eyebrows on women are thinner and eyes wider (or appear so) and an upcoming letter will deal with this in more depth.
Skin is thicker and oilier in men, but if you’ve reached this point, you will have a fairly robust skin care routine that you’ve been following for a while so oiliness shouldn’t be an issue. Your skin should be moist and soft
A lot of the other areas (nose, mouth, chin etc) are things you need to be aware of when you’re looking at men and women, but they will be dealt with in more detail later in the course. We don’t want to overwhelm you with new grooming techniques and such now.
What’s missing?
We have touched on them briefly but two big things we haven’t covered in any depth are makeup and body language. These are big topics and very important, so rather than try and squeeze them in here or try and cover them piecemeal, we’ve mentioned them but not gone into any details. Don’t worry, both will be covered in considerable depth later in the course.
