Hormones are intoxicating modulators to our awareness of physical existence. I'd like to experience as much of them as I can safely get away with.
I get what you're saying, and I don't think you should repress it. But what if (and I don't mean to offend you here) your interest in feminization is directly related to what you mentioned earlier about being concerned you are not man enough? In more 'primitive' cultures there are often puberty rites that formally turn boys into men, but this is mostly missing from Western culture today. Still, there are many things which will affect someone's value of himself as a man, for example prowess with the opposite sex, mastery of one's line of work, and so on. These kinds of things involve facing one's fears. Feminization represents a more passive role, and could be seen to be a means to shy away from this process. Which if that's what is going on, is what I'd call an unhealthy obsession. Conversely, if you are truly female, shying away from that is unhealthy. And if you are pure awareness, just curious about various modes of physical existence, then good for you - I think for most of us, this is a lot more charged than that.
