Sometimes, I feel the same way. I know I’m a man but sometimes I feel like I wanna be a woman. I don’t plan on getting a sex change though I think it would be too much. I like to dress up and put on a fake belly. It makes me feel better about myself.

This is a fascinating question for me. So, first of all, my answer. Yes! If I could successfully have a baby, that would be my ultimate fantasy. BUT notice the "successfully" part... This is a condition that a real woman can never have.

Honestly, I think most people (even people w/o a fertility fetish) would say yes if they could be garunteed a successful pregnancy, delivery, and healthy baby. A real woman experiencing a real pregnancy can't have that certainty; she must literally put her own life and health on the line, as well as invest herself in a baby they might not be healthy, or even born alive.

I think it is important to keep that in mind- however, that said I do love the idea of having a pregnancy. The whole thing: being fertile, getting pregnant, carrying a baby, birthing and meeting my baby... Just wow!

My ultimate fantasy would to be able to conceive with a woman -maybe through some scientific process or a spell- and have her baby.

Absolutely. I think that I would be trans if I could experience being a pregnant woman.

Physiologic Autogynephilia. Google it. You’ll find some interesting stuff.

Reading the article. I've finally understood a bit of what happened to me. I love the idea of dressing like a pregnant lady. Constantly touch my bump with my hands, waddle around the house, do the laundry, cook, clean.

It's like a drug. You can try to quit but you always wanted to do it again.

It's amazing to find other people who feel the same.
When you do this, sometimes you feel like a weirdo. Normally crossdressing (at least in my country) it's quite weird. If you add the pregnancy thing it's even weirder. So I used to search about it and never found what was happening inside of me and I was ashamed of it.

I'm not a cis-male, I'm genderfluid and I have a fascination with viewing myself either as female (sometimes I do) or experiencing a life as a woman (i.e. pregnancy along with birthing and a post-partum body, although they have menarche, menstruation and menopause). However, I'm still attracted to women and in my thoughts or dreams, imagines myself and my partner are both able to impregnate each other (sounds like a fan fic). I live in so CA, US where there's a more positive and tolerant attitude to a biological male wanting to be pregnant (sometimes based on their gender identities). Then again, some women might take offense to this idea (to mock pregnancies which can be a not-so-good experience in many if not all women) and also some men saying that's not part of males' nature. And I don't see an issue that a percentage of transmen are biologically able to get pregnant and give birth exists, as well transwomen want to dress up pregnant if they so desire.

Reading everyones replies makes me feel like I am not alone. I always feel so great when I put on my fake bump but at the same time I feel nervous because I never know how to explain it of someone catches me. As 30+ yr old cis- man I thought I would have grown out of it but I feel so good doing it is hard to stop.

I have never actually spoken about this with anyone ever. If anyone would like to talk and compare notes, please PM me. It would just be nice to speak to someone anonymously and see wtf is up.

Same here, so glad I found this thread. The autogynephilia thing i've read before recently - definitely what I have going on lol. Yeah there's just something about wanting what I can't have? cis-bi-male here, and yeah for me it's just about experiencing what is deemed impossible - and obviously there is an erotic element to it lol

Oh damn, I thought I was the only one.

I don't like being myself, I feel uncomfortable within my own body but I don't know what I am.
