Like so many others have commented, I used to. But it has faded with time. I still get excited, but now it is more of a sexy feeling, not sexual arousal.
As a fetishistic crossdresser, my dressing was all about the sexual arousal. I would have to accomplish my tucking before putting on any makeup or female clothing of any kind--otherwise the tuck would become impossible. Although I no longer actively dress, I'm sure that if I tried it, I would still get the same thrill, and that every dressing session would end the way they always used to when I did (even though at my age, I would look ridiculous if I tried to become the hot-looking babe . I still get plenty of vicarious thrills from some of the postings of the girls here.
I don't get aroused by dressing but, I do get aroused by guys being aroused by my dressing.
Although, so far, that's not been in person.
Let's see how THAT goes.
Frankly, I think I'm going to feel very vulnerable.
It's hard to fight or even run in 5" stillettoes. Lol
I only get aroused when I have trans related thoughts, not putting on the clothing. The clothing makes me feel sexier than any men's clothing ever will.
I'm a nice Jewish girl.
I'm not a girl, Not yet a woman.
Okay I guess I'm the odd on this. For me it actually has an opposite affect. This was a big problem for me when I was trying to figure this out. For a long time I tried to convince myself that this was a sexual fetish and couldn't figure out why I lost interest as soon as I started to put on anything girly. I have so many feelings when I wear women's cloths and become Victoria, but arousal isn't one of them. don't get me wrong I'm not downing anyone as I really wish that was the case for me.
When I am still and quiet, people who do not know me think, Oh how cute she's shy.
People who do know me think, OMG RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
When i was young yes and even as i was older and didnt dress that much as i was busy with family and life, now as i am older and have more time no i dont get aroused, for me it a form of relaxing and feeling comfortable. I do find it sexy and with the right thoughts i do get aroused.
Having reached my senior years, the occasion when any sexual arousal occurs has diminished exponentially.
Oddly enough, no desire at all when I'm a chic....despite the fact I'm not gay and I kinda turn me on...still nothing 😐
Im not gunna lie....i still get a little wet if I put the right outfit on...just a little
The moment you slip your foot in the first heel...then, as you watch yourself in the mirror, admiring your smoothly shaved legs in sheer hose, you raise one leg upwards behind you to don the other heel. You straighten your skirt, loving the sheen on your legs and how the heels lengthen them...

Not always but it happens to me now and then.
Some thoughts:
1. Sexual arousal doesn't make what you are experiencing any more or any less legitimate.
2. My sexual arousal while CDing continued up until the time I came out to myself as a woman, and then it ended rather abruptly. Not too much longer after that, my entire sex drive crashed, and I had none. This was all prior to HRT.
3. One weird consequence of that - and I think this is pretty unique to me - is that my interest in pornography and in masturbating are both basically non-existent. I have a sex drive, it's fine. But despite the fact that I had an enormous porn collection - nearly a terabyte (long since deleted), and that I used to masturbate quite a lot because sex with my wife was so terribly unsatisfying - I've not been able to get much of anything from either of those activities. I have sex quite often now, but I just don't care about porn or masturbation. It's not that anything is wrong with them - I think they are totally fine. They just do nothing for me anymore.
4. If you aren't in a hurry to get out of your clothes when CDed, and / or the sexual desire has gone away, my gender therapist asserts that this is a sign your gender issues are more about gender identity, rather than just expression.
With me there is a range of feeling from mildly erotic up to complete arousal. I have never dressed longer then a few hours at a time to see if it fades, but it would be just fine with me if it did not. That may take some of the fun out of it for me. Just being able to feel a strap rubbing across my thigh or the snugness of the nylon on my legs under my cloths keeps me excited.
I used to get aroused when I first dressed but now not as as much. I like it the most when I would add forms to my bra and wore a skirt
I'm still young enough to get aroused by even thinking of dressing. It does annoy me a little. Unless I'm wearing something exceptionally sexy, it subsides after a short while.
If I get the opportunity to dress then I'm usually so focused on the process of becoming fem that arousal doesn't rear it's ugly head, if you'll pardon the saying. That wasn't the case in the early years as not understanding myself I thought of it as more of a fetish. Better self understanding of what it is that I want from being dressed has changed what I see in the mirror. I suppose it's no longer dressing to be a sexy woman it's dressing to be womanly.
Who dares wears Get in, get out without being noticed
I think I'm the same as many others by the sounds of it. Definitely when younger but that may be due to a range of factors. There is less instant "arousal" these days when I get in to Aly mode but there are still times when that does happen - the same as when in guy mode I guess. For Aly, it may just be the feeling of the dress lining or moving my foot in and out of a heeled shoe that does it. Needless to say when younger that would have turned me into an instant rocketship!
Aly
Getting to know myself in a dress and heels again!
Yeah we get aroused. My SO said that she gets it from me in girl mode too often. LOL Now, I think that shows that we are great when we are fem.
Part Time Girl
At some point clothes will be clothes and you won't get aroused.
Yes. Generally men get aroused, well, pretty much all the time. At one point right after puberty I thought that the clothes had something to do with it, but it turned out I was just horny all the time, so it didn't really matter whether I was dressed as a boy, a girl, or naked. I was just horny. Pretty much all the time. Louis CK explains is best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTok5l45OJo
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
Hehe, I certainly think that my boyfriend gets aroused when he gets dressed, its very adorable to watch him become aroused by himself as he slips on his underwear. When he is not around, and I am arousing myself, I find that the thought of him dressed can bring me to organism. I'm not really sure why this is, it's silly to admit, but it has been working.
