When I was a schoolboy and slightly overweight, I was forced against my will to wear women's shapewear. At the start of a new school year when I was just 14, I had the sickening experience of being given a heavy panty girdle, being told to put it on right there and then, before finally being informed in no uncertain terms that it was now part of my school uniform and I'd be wearing it to school that very day...and every school day from then on. It's the kind of start in life that really messes you up...
