Sissy training, also known as sissification or feminization, is an activity whereby a female mistress will switch the perceived gender of her male submissive. There a number of tasks and scenarios that contribute toward sissification, but so long as the central concept of feminizing the male slave is kept consistent, it falls within the larger scope of sissy training.
One of the central and core elements of sissy training is the usage of cross-dressing as an application during a scenario. A male slave will typically always where an item of clothing associated with women, with many mistresses opting to over feminize their slaves by picking out extreme or highly lady-like clothing. Cross-dressing applications in sissy training may include lingerie, dresses, stockings, high heels and more. Application of makeup is another activity that is commonly practiced during scenarios of sissy training.
The verbal aspect of sissy training is quite important for the experience of a slave. Calling the submissive by a female-equivalent of their name is a common practice, such as ‘John’ turning into ‘Jane’ or ‘Nick’ into ‘Nikki’. A mistress may also want to use gender-identifying language such as calling her sissy slave a ‘good girl’, or using words often associated with females, such as whore, slut or bitch. Sexualized terms are typically used more often than non-sexualized terms, owing to the fact that sissification is seen as an activity pursued for erotic purposes.
The stripping of masculinity during a scenario within sissy training is probably quite enjoyable owing to the inherent dominant nature of a male. If an individual voluntarily gives up his masculinity, he does so for the purposes of feeling helpless, pathetic and submissive. Sissy training is a great way to reach this goal, as not only does it strip a male of his masculinity, but it imposes highly feminized characteristics that can be seen as humiliating. Some mistresses may also get their submissive sissies to perform acts of sex that are classically female, such as performing oral sex on a dildo or getting pegged.
Owing to the simple nature of sissy training, it is often regarded as one of the safest forms of BDSM that one can engage in. It should be noted that sissies should be referred to as ‘female’ throughout the entirety of their scene, but this in no way suggests that the sissy wishes to live their life as a female. There are distinct differences between cross-dressing and sissification for sexual gratification and the desire to transition. It is not always the case that pre-transition transsexuals enjoy cross-dressing for sexual purposes, although they may undertake sessions of sissification initially to get a ‘feel’ for what it would be like to live as the opposite sex.
