How long have you been CDing?

[valrc]

about 2 years

[Joni Marie Cruz]

Question, please. Does this mean the feelings of being CD or being out as CD? If it's the former, then for <mumble> years. One of my earliest memories is of looking through a Sears-Roebuck catalog (why yes, I am that old, thanks for mentioning it <lol>) and telling my mom I wanted a dress for Christmas. I was about four years old or so. If it's about finally getting up the courage to be myself, then about 5 years ago. So far it's been fun, all in all, especially the out part.

Hugs...Joni Marie

I think I have the rest of you beat!! But surely I am not the oldest on this Forum at only 77? But starting at age 7 makes for a long time! I know I said over 6 decades in my first post on this thread, I should have just said 7 decades, but I didn't want to hurt Karren's feelings!

i started when i was 5 years old and I am 61 now. So I think I have been doing this for a very long time. I have no regrets and will continue doing this as long as I am able to.

I started trying on my mothers and grandmothers panties at age 4. I am now in my 6th decade.

Since I was about 13, I think.

Very thrilling, but frustrating as well because it had to be done in great secrecy and was always limited by my circumstances and strong feelings of guilt at that time.

Um, let's see, including all the starts and stops--about 20 years

I'm a life long dresser. I was around six years old when I first put on my sister's night gown one Sunday day morning. So technically the answer is thirty years. It wasn't until I was around nineteen that I started dressing fully from head to toe (or as much as I could given my limited resources at the time).

Now, of course I'm fully out-and-about for almost two years.

[monika]

About 3years with full makeup and wigs.
Just tried on womens clothing before that.

[miss janel]

Nearing 30 years.

[Misty G]

[Marcia Sue]

[andieRay]

i have been cding for about 28 years off and on, right know its more on then off

[Nancie64]

Boy, what a question. Started when I was about 14 and now just over 60. have been lucky over the years to have a SO who is somewhat understanding. Right now I have more clothes in the closet for the female than the male side. Think of all the dollars that have been spend on those sexy outfits, and all of those that no longer fit. Love the heels and the boots, but the best is a knee length skirt with a nice sweater, and of course, knee high boots. Kohls, a good place to shop.

5 to 71 !

[jolanda_trav]

I started dressing frequently when I was 12 yrs old, so I'm dressing now for 26 yrs.
Before that I can remember only (at least) 2 occasion where I tried on some girl stuff.

[joann07]

2 years and 7 months.
I was a late starter at age 37.

Hugs!
