You can call me Colleen
Great post Doc because it comes out of your Heart I think I may consider myself a fetish cd most of the time but the more I dress the more I discover feelings and experiences that that let me thinking what if....but like you I enjoy it doing no regrets and doubts
I hope I never lose that excitement and thrill of dressing. Im talking sexual as well as more than it- the mental, and emotional release. When I was able to get clothes for myself I first started with more fetishy things. I loved the short leather skirts, the satiny bodysuits, the pvc. It was such a thrill getting dressed in them. As I got older(definitely not matured) I became more interested in dressing like a woman my own age. I still feel that excitement wearing a skirt suit, heck or even a nice pair of slacks. I guess my fetish if you will has changed to wanting to look like the lady next door. But then my dressing is also more than a fetish and as others have said is who I am. I guess I am even more confused now!!!
For me, at first it was all about the Fetish, but now it's still about some Fetish but more and more it's about the illusion of how well you can look like a woman and hopefully a pretty woman. It's like learning magic and then trying to perfect it or playing Golf
Dress for what ever reason you want. We are all in the gray space of TG,CD,TS. And we do it for as many reasons as there is each of us. Just a guy you likes femme clothes here. They just make me comfy.
Interestingly my wife could handle my CDing better when being a fetish was the only way I knew how to explain it. Upon finding other and so much more information it was just who I was and had a need for my feminine within to look more feminine at times. This seems to make it harder for her to deal with.

Standard disclaimer: Going out of the house was right for me, it may or may not be right for you. If you've got no desire to leave the house, that's fine, I'm not trying to push you out the door. But for those who've been yearning to do so, I just want to let you know the world may not be as scary a place as you think.
I'm right there with you Doc. Whatever the reason we can all support one another & our "missions"
The reason I CD is sexual. Pure and simple. I've done it to please myself occasionally over the years, and I'm now doing it occasionally to please my wonderful wife who asked me to CD for her in the 'bedroom' cos she wanted a pseudo-lesbian experience. That side of our life continues to grow and blossom as we share different experiences in the 'bedroom', doing different things with each other wearing different clothes.
Seeing myself in the mirror as a woman is a turn on. Wearing womens' clothes (esp. panties and tights / stockings) is a big turn on.
Going shopping together for Jo Jones' clothes, etc, binds us closer as a couple and as a 'team'. We make it as fun and as fresh as we can. We try to have a good time from it (and wearing the clothes later!) and neither think it dirty or disgusting. It's part of our love for each other as well as our sexuality.
I never CD for any reason, other than sexual thrills.
Best.

Is I have been dressing for decades and I still find it excitng and arousing.
I also like the feel of my skirts and night gowns, and my jeans when in boy mode, as the brush against my freshly shaved legs. But I will always be a CD.
Hi KIM, I have the same issue with my wife, when she felt like it was just a fetish she delt with it better.

I must need to start reading more posts here because I never saw any postings yet that should be construed as outcasting fetish dressing.
-D
This is a place to relax and enjoy no stone throwing. Every on is different in their own way with complex resone. I say don't worry and enjoy the ride.
Ha-ha, sometimes I'm sweet, sometimes I'm adorable, sometimes I'm a vamp. But I love all three of me. It is about being myself but also about making the best of myself. You've got me thinking about the vamp at the weekend. I might just .... Its all part of being a woman isn't it?
I strut my stuff, I feel so proud,
I need to shout, to scream out loud,
I am Tricia I am she,
I am who I want to be

its still about the sex with my acepting wife but ive really just like to dressup too
Hi Kim-
Exactly. For me and my wife it started out that way as well. (Don't want to TMI.) As time went by though, I came to realize that it ran a great deal deeper and that, for me, keeping at the CD level was just a kind of denial. Not knocking anyone here, just talking about my feelings. So when I finally came out, it made things a lot more complicated. Fortunately for me, I have an understanding and accepting wife.
As far as the fetishy parts, that actually hasn't really gone away. A girl can still have her fun, too.
Hugs...Joni Mari

"Because equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it."

Good post Doc.
The only thing I have to say is re Suzy Harrison and TxKimberly
Ditto, and ditto.
Cheers

Some of those pictures remind me of silence of the lambs- don't know why
DO what you wish, if it is your thing and you find comfort in it, do it. If the latex work is yours you are a master of the rubber stuff.
Kinda creepy for me, but its not for me so go for it!

It's store policy: whatever you're looking for, that's what they're out of. And the chances of finding it are in inverse proportion to how much you want it.
A nice thread about beliefs is proabably a good way to introduce... seeing as how I've totally missed the intro-forum!
The whole labelling thing is odd to me, particularily over the last two years, where I think my label has changed. So I just took it off and said no more.
I've been dressing for many years, since my... well, a long time. When I started, and up until about a year ago it was a pure sexual thrill... nothing more exciting than the feeling of getting dressed up. It was never "serious" in that I never attempted to look passable, never went futher than the basics.
But over the last two years, and especially the last one, sexy-sleaze-wear has given way to allow room for t-shirt and jeans, cami's and shorts, much more everyday wear in the wardrobe. Hair has become more important. Makeup's a must have - but I never thought I'd be getting neutral tones along side the reds and blues.
Not sure what this means, not sure why it's happening. I've gone from what you might call a "fetish CD" to something less sexual. Yet, talking with some friends, I'm still essentially the same person, same thoughts, same beliefs. Now facing perhaps a different label? I'm not buying that, even if it's on sale. I've only got one label that I use: me: a little of this, a little of that. What's in a label?
I'm more in tune with an earlier reply about the hierarchy, and how some percieve an order of things, which doesn't exist.
Well, there, I've done it... both feet in

I've dressed for a lot of reasons, and many times because of the sheer turn on - especially when I was just beginning. No apologies offered... I've never pretended to be a Boy Scout (or a Girl Guide for that matter).
It's definitely interesting to read the different reasons. =) I was born a girl, and even though I'm not too girly myself, I love it when guys are and can pull off a girl. Those I've known have been great people.
We're all into it for different reasons but the turn-on from dressing was what made me keep coming back. That's not so strong now but still there.
As for the guilt, you need to get rid of that as quickly as possible. Nothing to be guilty about except enjoying something that a lot of others would love to try but don't have the guts to do so.
Hi Doc
Right on it works for me

[SIZE=2]Great thread indeed...[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]Whether we dress for excitement and or "fetish", or to pass as a lifestyle choice, as just a TG Or a TV.. one thing is For sure..[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]We are Crossdressers. And this page is for us.. even if some do wear a mask = OK!! [/SIZE]
Do CD's really judge other CD's for their reasons for dressing?
For myself, there is definitely an extremely strong fetishistic element to my dressing and I have several fetishes related to dressing as well. But, at the same time, I think about dressing far too often and in too many different contexts to seriously say it is only a fetish.
