What is petticoated?

Petticoated refers to the practice of dressing a person, typically a boy or man, in clothing traditionally associated with females, such as petticoats and dresses. This practice is often used as a form of punishment or humiliation, particularly in historical or fetish contexts.

Petticoating can also refer to the wearing of petticoats underneath a skirt or dress for added volume or structure. Petticoats are typically worn as an undergarment to add fullness to a skirt or dress, giving it a more voluminous and flattering silhouette.

In some cultures and historical periods, petticoating has been used as a way to enforce strict gender roles and norms, with boys or men being dressed in feminine clothing as a means of punishment or to shame them for not conforming to traditional masculinity.

In contemporary contexts, petticoating may be used as a form of role-playing or fetish play, with individuals choosing to wear feminine clothing for personal enjoyment or as part of a consensual relationship dynamic.
