POLL! So What does wearing a dress make you feel ? HHHHMMMM ?

[JulieC]

Funny ?
But i thought I would ask. You know what I mean. Lets get to the bottom of this. We are all past the J@cking $ff phase.
So why do we still do it?

If you do not want to become a woman, Yet still feel the need to dress up from time to time. Why?

I am asking myself this question.

Yes, Womens clothing is SOOOOO much much funner!
We Know this!

Do we really all want to be woman?

Or is it, Nylons, Heels, Frilly skirts & Lip Stick?

Or something else.

I do it because of an indescribable urge. I have no desire to transition to being a woman, or living full time en femme. I do have a desire to wear female clothes, especially pantyhose, and almost to the same extent heels and skirts/dresses.

I feel good wearing female clothes, I am happy doing it, my wife approves and encourages, I'm hurting no one, and it satisfies the indescribable urge.

Some psychologist might be able to answer why I have this urge. I don't really care why anymore. It isn't going away, so the why I have it doesn't matter. I've learned to accept that it is part of me. That's more important. I don't know why two identifcal cells differentiated into one being a mouth and the other an anus on my body. I am not less complete for not having this knowledge. It doesn't matter. The fact is I have these two orifices. Same for crossdressing. I don't know how I got here. I know that I am here, and there's no undoing it. That's all I need to know.

No the urge cannot be adequately described, that's for certain. There is a certain dichotomy involved for me: I feel liberated, yet somehow captive. Both sensations are exquisite. I also feel both excited and yet somehow very calm when I dress. And I'm so very lucky to have found this forum in order to discuss these things with others who can relate.

Yeah. I was on the Internet before it was called the Internet. Even so, there was nothing out there. Eventually, some things started to arrive...alt.pantyhose for one, before it became overwhelmed with porn. But the last 15 years has transformed the landscape for many marginalized populations that have found kindred spirits on the net.

Makes it much more funnerific to be pretty!

[DonnaT]

Why? Because I am trans.

Many boys, and men, at some point in there life try on clothes meant for the opposite gender. Many of them do not get that "it just felt right" feeling. So, they tried it, it was a hoot, maybe, and they dropped it.

A different result occurs to those of us who are trans, however. It awakens another part of us. As if we are dual-gendered. Hard-wired in some way. Like many are hard wired to be right handed, left handed or ambidextrous.

Why did it manifest itself in clothes? Maybe because it was the clothes that awakened that new feeling? Maybe for the same reason that many women prefer dresses rather than trousers?

There's nothing tangible that can really provide the answer to that question. But what else is there available that lets us express that second self of being dual gendered, i.e., trans?

And I'm glad I like it.

[EjayeCD]

I have to agree with many CDers. Mens clothes are very boring & women's clothing even feels sexy.

[Alice B]

A good and tough question to answer. I think that when I dress I want to feel a bit sexy and pretty at the same time. A difficult combination and often based upon my mood and the amount of time I have. It is also difficult because I want to get out and be seen, which is not going to happen around my house.

[Tina Dixon]

Because theirs two people in my head, me and whats his name!

[ILV2DRESS]

It makes me feel girly. But i am happy being a man too.

[Lissa Stevens]

It just feels right. I feel natural in women's clothing.

[docrobbysherry]

Wait! MAYBE I ALREADY am? When I dress as a woman, I have sex like one! Does THAT still count as "j---cking @ff"?

Yeah, I KNOW it's MORE THAN THAT! But, I'm CLUELESS as to what it is!

Maybe you'll tell us, Tiff?

By all! See u in a few weeks!

[Jenniferpl]

The feeling girly thing does it for me. I think it would be interesting to be able to live as a woman but not certain I would want to full time.

[Bobbi Lynn]

I don't really know why.

[LilSissyStevie]

We are all past the J@cking $ff phase.

Only because my wife is a lot younger than me. I have to conserve my strength so it's not allowed. But dressing is optional.

Other than that my stock answer is that the makes me do it. I'm not sure what kick he gets out of it.

[RitaCD]

I don't know either. I gave up long ago trying to figure out why I want to dress as a woman. I now accept it, explore it, and enjoy it more all the time. Like others I do not desire to transition but I do want to find ways to feel more and appear more feminine.

[Greymancd]

I guess I do it because I have the desire to do it and it makes me feel happy. I guess I love that women get such a large variety and selection of clothing compared to men.

[JacDoe]

Annoyed at my chesthair, my arm hair/pit hair, and my bra straps that just won't stay under control whatever I do.

that, and aggravated with the coarseness of the panty in the only 4x hose I could find at CVS.

EDIT: Also a healthy sense of feminine self-hatred which might finally provoke me to lose the weight I've been putting off working on for years.

[sissystephanie]

Comfortable and pretty! What else is needed? Not trying to be a woman, just like to dress like one! Nothing sexual about it, just comfort clothes!!

[MelindaC]

I feel Soooooo much better and more relaxed when I am in my dress --- with a slip on underneath, of course...

Yes, women's lingerie is SOOO much more interesting. I NEVER dress unless I am in my bra, girdle and stockings.

[connie_m]

I fully agree with you, I love how feminine and sexy I feel when i put on a nice pair of silk panties, nylons, bra, a tight miniskirt and see through blouse, and then putting on some bright red lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, etc., I feel quite comfortable and very much the woman i long to be

[BLUE ORCHID]

It's the forbidden fruit !!!

Like trying to get awaw with something you know you shouldn't do
but it feels sooooooo good then the more you get
the more you want.

It's like a snowball rolling down the hill
the further it goes the bigger it gets.

I don't know where I am going with this but I am on my way.

Definitely, its the clothes, I love wearing pretty things. Boys clothes are just so boring, they are just to keep you warm and covered. Look at panties for example and the many variants, colours, styles, materials and embelishments. They don't have any equivalent to the lingerie section in mens stores. Most guys couldn't understand paying $50 for a bra that no-one but the wearer wil ever see, but it makes perfect sense to me.
It would take a book to begin to describe the many variations and how wonderful dresses and skirts are, so I'll pick just a single issue. On the day he gets married the guy rents a suit. The girl spends more time and money on her shoes than the guys whole outfit. Her dress has been in planning for years and so it should be, as a wedding dress is the ultimate experience. I own a large number and I just love the whole experience of getting ready from preparing my skin putting on my special lingerie, doing my make-up and hair then finally putting on my dress and adding the numerous accessories. I take photos to just remind myself of that wonderful time and I know that I look great.
I'll finish with photos to illustrate my point. The two pictures below took me days to photo and put together but I loved every minute.

More funner describes it perfectly for me.

sorry hun but 've been dressing and getting off for almost 50 years. i hope i never get past that. i enjoy going out dressed but i know im not fooling anyone into thinkinking i'm a women. i'm a guy in womens clothes and i still find it sensual and sexy and sexual.

[Cary]

Dressing in women's clothes just feels right to me!

[Leah_1972]

Wearing dresses makes me feel so girly. I just love slipping on a dress and looking at myself in the mirror all dressed up looking pretty and admiring the way I look. I like to wear a thong so I don't have a panty line showing...lol. Then I'll turn around, look at my back side in the mirror, put on my make up, lip stick and high heels. I always stay inside the house though, too scared to go out in public. I hope to some day in the future.
