characteristics more typical of a female, often at the request of their partner. Most commonly associated with Dominant Female/submissive male relationships (and often called sissification) this fetish revolves around altering the male’s physical appearance, as well as behaviours, often with the goal of humiliating the male. In the case of Dominant/submissive relationships, the fetish may be done as ‘forced feminization’, in which the dominant partner ‘forces’ the transformation as a way to humiliate the male (though it should be noted that the relationship itself is consensual).

The usual starting point is attire, with the ‘femme’ or ‘sissy’ shaving their legs, wearing pantyhose or women’s lingerie, applying makeup, wearing nail polish, and even wearing a wig. Costumes might also be worn, such as French maid, schoolgirl, or nurse.

Feminization usually also extends to behaviour modification, with the femme sitting on the toilet to urinate (as opposed to standing at a urinal), as well as sitting and walking in a feminine fashion.

Sissies often take on a female name to go along with their personae, which might be a bastardization of their name, from a male to female form. For instance, ‘Paul’ might become ‘Paulina’.

Sissification is often combined with other fetishes to further humiliate the sissy, such as pegging (receiving anal sex), chastity, ‘forced’ bisexuality, and cuckolding.

Someone who gets off on feminization typically enjoys the humiliation, objectification, submission, and sense of ‘taboo’ that are inherent in this type of play.
