What does it mean to be “Pantied?”

What does it mean to be “Pantied?”  It’s a lifestyle choice focused on feminine submission for pleasure, personal development and growth.  It’s a framework that harnesses the rituals, practices and tools of D/s (Dominance and Submission) and BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism).  It has elements of sissy culture and petticoating but shifts the focus to the high femininity and idealism of “Americana”, to the elegance and “ladylike” behavior of a bygone era to traditional roles as a choice and not a genitalia based requirement.  While most of the people who seek to be Pantied will be XY, it’s not exclusive to those who were assigned male at birth.  Similar to the practice of being “Taken in Hand”, this is a commitment for those who want to be “Taken by the Arm”.  It is NOT a playbook for an abusive or exploitative relationship, just the opposite.  Being Pantied is about living your best, most authentic, life for as much of the day as possible with someone holding you accountable.  This is NOT the “one true way” but it IS an opinionated lifestyle choice for an exclusive group of people who want to better themselves and their relationship in the model of women that society idolized and whose roles and contributions are sorely missed.
