What is the main reason you Crossdress?

[sissystephanie]

Ladies, what is the main reason you crossdress? And is it the same reason as when you first started? By reason, I mean sexual, want to feel like a woman, just like the feel of feminine clothing, or maybe because your SO likes you to look feminine!

I guess mine started out as sexual. I could really get turned on wearing a pair of silky panties. My dear wife loved it if I wore panties to bed in the earlier years of our marriage. She knew the action would be great! But as time went on and I added more things to my wardrobe, things changed. One day, many years ago, I realized that I felt more comfortable dressed than I felt in drab. It didn't matter what I was wearing, as long as it was female. When I told my wife, she just laughed and told me my signature line. You are "more girl than man," she said and I love you that way! The sexual attraction was still there, but dressing now meant much more. I loved the way things fit and looked on me. When our kids were little, I didn't dress openly in front of them. But when they grew up and moved out, I really became my wife's girlfriend as well as her husband/lover. She would have an outfit ready for me put on when I came home from my sales calls. From then until the next morning, I was Stephanie or Sissy.

So ladies, what is your story? Not how it started, but why, and did the reason change like mine did?

More Girl than man

So I could take advantage of "Ladies Night" at the local saloon

I started just playing with my girlfriend, later became my wife. I loved the feeling of her nylon and satin panties and nightgowns. It just grew from there. Now it is more about feeling pretty and getting away from stresses. But the clothes still need to feel good and be easily identified as feminine.

When I started it was purely sexual. I love the feel of the nylons, the smell of the makeup and the taste of the lipstick. Later I liked the challenge of looking like a woman...that is an attractive woman. Don't know if I ever got there. Now I love the stress release as well as wearing the clothes and such. It still has a very strong sexual element to it.

It is a part of me since I was three. There are too many reasons and some I probably don't even know. One thing for sure, I LOVE IT!

[Crissy Kay]

I have a couple reasons to dress. First, it is kind of a sexual thrill for me. Second, it is an excape to a fantasy land, for me, for a short while,where I can wear chiffon petticoats, and satin dresses!!!

[Barb Valentine]

For me many many year ago I would say it was for sexual pleasure
But now I just feel more comfortable wearing womans cloths
It just feels right I really can't explain it more then that

[Daintre]

I have to agree with Karen, I am driven to dress, why? I no answer for it.

[alice.m]

It's just something I feel really good doing.

[Kate Simmons]

It's definately not sexual. I'd say somewhere in between wanting to look nice and not really giving a damn what others think. That's the way I feel nowadays.

[noname]

Women are granted the unearned right to wear a variety of styles and freedom of expression. I believe they are ignorant of their priviledges. I am not a second class citizen. I believe I am entitled to the same rights they are, and I intend to exercize those rights.

[Marianna Julianna]

Well I'm not sure why I started, it's too long ago to try to work it out and most of the my childhood is a haze, many supressed memories no doubt. I can say how I feel when I get a chance though, I feel comfortable, fulfilled, for just a few hours then I get a chance to feel like a rounded, complete being, the rest of the time there's something missing. I don't feel anything very sexual, but the feeling I get is, to use a slightly hackneyed phrase, better than sex. I can live without that, I can't live without a chance to become Marianna once in a while. I tried that, many times, just did not like the person I became at those times.

[Sweet Jane]

Hi

it's been so long ago that my dressing had any sexual element that I don't really consider that there is any reason in that respect why I dress today. It'd be great if it was a full on charged up sexfest when I did dress, because at least it would be "explainable".....as it stands, I honestly have no idea. It's just an embarrassingly wierd compulsion, that I am too weak willed or maybe just unable to suppress. I dress....just to dress...poor reason isn't it?

[claire angie]

hi when i first started to dress i was so young i cant remmber, but it did go to sexual and the like and like so meny others it turned into a need to dress and to destrest myself to which is what i need sometimes to do, but mainly now i dress because i love too and feels so natual to do so

[Suzie S.]

Hi Sissy! I'm a late bloomer to crossdressing, as I didn't start til my late twenties. I discovered quickly that this was going to be a part of me for the rest of my life. When I started, it just felt right. I enjoy how the clothes feel on me, and how I feel when I'm dressed. I also feel more relaxed and natural as Suzie. Transitioning is not an option for me, so this is as close as I can get. I'm fine with where I am right now being a part time girl. So I guess the main reason I crossdress is to feel normal.

[Tasha Meredith]

I've been trying to answer this one all day.

I think Marianna Julianna summed up my situation. It's starting to become a source of balance and comfort for me. I once described it as being therapeutic. On the other hand, I also want to emulate women which probably explains why I still tolerate the uncomfortable shoes and body shapers that come with the territory. So if I could rank all my reasons...

emotional balance
gender euphoria
sexual kick/fantasy
see 'how far can I go'
curiosity

[PaulaJaneThomas]

It's just part of who I am. It's how I express who I am to the wider world.

[Kelsy]

Reasons Um there are many! Root causes I can only speculate on. Reason for continuing I Love IT. I can Clearly remember when I was young maybe in my late teens thinking to myself that I surely would not be CDing when I got older. I'm over 50 now! surely I will not be CDing when I get older

that about sums it up for me !

[Naomi]

Ive given up questioning why i crossdress (thankfully) as it was only holding me back. The only questions i now ask of my self is "how" how can i become better at doing something i enjoy.

[SIZE="3"]I do this and portray my image of what a woman should be, I went from girdles and bras as a child to full dress as a teenager, to full make-up in my thirties. It was a sexual thing for most of my life, strange as it seems the minute I steeped out the door that stopped, the most important thing now is how I present myself when out, I wish to be seen as and accepted as a woman.
The only reasons that makes sense of why I do this is I wanted to be like a role model my mom, or it’s biological and my brain is just wired that way. [/SIZE]
