Poll for M to F Crossdressers Regarding Sexual Orientation.

[BarbaraTalbot]

I know this has been done to death, but we have a thread that keeps finding its way to the top asking if one would consider being with a man. For those that have such feelings, I am sure that it must be somewhat validating to know others have similar feelings.

I have noticed that even though of course anyone can express their feelings either way, I wonder if some hesitate to state their feelings either from lack of interest in such threads, or because they don't wish to offend those whose orientations are different than their own.

So the question for this ANONYMOUS poll is: Do you think you will ever have a sexual encounter with a man?

The choices are:

1) No I consider myself to be Straight, (regardless of whether you have in the past tried it but found it not for you)

2) Yes, I consider myself to be Gay (only attracted to genetic males)

3) Yes, I consider myself to be BiSexual (I am attracted to persons of either gender.)

4) Yes, I think of myself as Straight, but could see myself rationalizing an encounter with another male if he was also crossdressed at the time.

5) Yes, I think of myself as Straight, but could see myself rationalizing an encounter with another male while I am dressed because at that time in my mind I am female.

But its not a poll so how can we vote anonymously?

It is there now.

Anyone can feel free to add commentary to a post about themselves if the want to of course.

Me, I'm straight. Lots of people thought I was Gay growing up because of my size and possibly some femme attributes. I wondered for a while if they saw something I didn't. Ive given it pretty open minded consideration but the male body does nothing for me, not really even my own.

No, I consider myself to be a lesbian in a mans body option ?

[Hippy Chic]

I consider my self straight, although as a teen did go through that question my sexuality stage, like I guess we all do, & I think in that schoolboy way my attraction to wearing lingerie only intensified the doubts. So much so to the point I did try gay porn to see if it worked for me, & it didn't. HCC & I have had those drunken conversations along the lines of "If you had to, who would you" & I finally concluded Michael Hutchence or Jim Morrison - does that make me a necrophiliac????

Read the sig line. That should answer your question....

I think we had the same poll a while back, but I haven't searched the archive. Someone ought to pull all the information off here and write an article.
I'm not expecting any surprises in the results, but probably the world outside (non-CDing, non-TG) would be surprised at the proportion of pure hetero CDers.

[RobertaFermina]

Unfortunately these polls force questioners into either/or choices. The last two choices would work for me.

Wish I could answer each choice with a number from 1 to 10, with the total of all answers restricted to 10. That way, questions that fail to be either/or will still get answered
AND generate useful statistics.

FYI Bi-Hetero is, apparently, a new term. Google shows no matches.
DEFINITION bi-hetero: hetero from male AND female perspective (in Drab or Drag).
I suppose bi-hetero would not be interested in women while in Drag.

I like women exclusively. I don't know if that make me gay or straight!

Hi, your questions miss a few possibilities...

For example but probably not the only ones :

A - I don't know what I am anymore. I thought I was "straight" but while "en femme" I've had relationships with another CD

B - While "en femme" I have had intimate relations with a man but would not consider it while being dressed as a man myself.

C- While "en femme" I have had intimate relations with a woman. But I would have difficulties to have such relations with a woman while being purely acting as a man.

Perhaps also your questionnaire should allow multiple "yes" answers.

I conducted surveys as a professional, and questionnaire design is quite difficult, so don't feel bad...

In fact to design a good questionnaire you have to start with the answers you want to have on your inquiry... Then, find the way to ask the questions in order to get as unbiassed answers as possible.

And I'm not going to touch upon the sample selection and its representativity of the population you are trying to analyse...

I haven't changed my orientation since the last poll. I still enjoy having sex with women and dressing like them.

[Veronica 1]

Basically hetro, but have swung the other way a few times. Depends on their personality, and just how drunk I really am. lol

[jackieo]

One thing that I learned from dating lesbians and bis in the 80s is how to satisfy a women with out using Mr hankie and when in Rome do as the Romans do and my SO has more gratification out of what Jackie dose because she may have more orgasm's if I was just me naked and her the same.
She said I have a split personality because there no way that a man can be that sensual in bed and matching Teddy's is sexy as hell!
I have try to do it in drab what Jackie dose and she makes me stop because she said it sucks.
love Jackie
Ps so bring on the carpet for me no weenie

I guess I'm Bi-Curious. I very much like women, but I am not opposed to the idea of being with a man, but I would be very picky in doing so. I definitely like the idea of being with a TS though.

5) Yes, I think of myself as Straight, but could see myself *rationalizing* an encounter with another male while I am dressed because at that time in my mind I am (portraying a) female.

*fantasying* and under the right conditions acting out the fantasy as a submissive. As a CDer, I equate my behavior as costume play and under dressing.

Zencat.
