How did your CDing start?

[claudine]

When did you realise for the first time you are a CD? When found your family out or when did your friends and co-workers?

My first CD-experience started only 5 years ago during the famous Cologne Carnival. My ex-wife bought herself a carnival-dress. I had nothing to wear, so she meant I should buy the same feminine costume! I did and the result was fantastic. I was and am now hooked by CDing. I have already tried to pass enfemme in public, but only with a lady’s guidance.

I saw a pair of my older sisters panties once and thought they looked so much nicer then my boy underwear that I had to try them on and I did and I loved it. I tried to fight the urge but it kept coming back. Now I'm starting to accept that it's part of who I am and that I can't make it just go away. The first incident was about 20 years ago BTW,

That was almost 50 years ago I just found some thing in the attic and teyed them on.

When I was 12 years old - it was like a switch suddenly being put to 'on'. There was no event that I can remember that I can say made me think of wanting to look or act like a girl.

In fact I felt I was the only person in the world who felt like that as I'd never heard or read about that kind of thing before. I was worried that if people found out they would have thought I was mad or something.

It's a very scary situation for a little 12 year old to face..........

[melissacd]

When I was about 10 years old I was asked to go get something from my older sisters room, I cannot even remember what it was. For reasons I still do not understand I suddenly noticed all of the wonderful girlie things, prior to that point I don't remember caring about feminine things. I tried on a pair of panties and a white blouse and from that point on I have been totally hooked.

I also was hit by the CD bug when I was twelve. Have "dressed" off and on for years. Depending on my life situation. Have tossed more wardrobe than I care to mention. At least now I am in a point in my life where I will never toss again.
Been looking for a site like this for a long time.
just kinda shy

I really don't know how young I was, but I had three sisters and they were all older than I was. I felt left out of everything I guess and when my older sister got married all the girls got pretty dresses and I got a stupid looking dress shirt. I really thing that is when I figured that I was different than I was supposed to be and in private started wearing my sister's dresses especially the bridesmaid dress that she wore at the wedding. It was a pretty blue with lots of satin and cinoline. I never wanted to be labled as a transvestite or queer or even crazy as this was in the early to middle 60s. When I started dating I would get my girlfriends to dress me up sometimes, not very often as I still did not want anyone to find out. Now when I think back I wish I would have come out when I was still very young.

When I was 12 my mother had a bunch of used clothing and lingerie she was going to discard. It was my chore to take out the trash and for reasons I still haven't figured out I peeked inside the bag, saw the clothing and snuck them back into my room to try on. Been cding ever since and don't regret a single minute of it. Only wish I could do it full time.

I was somewhere between 5 and 7 and it was Halloween. My two step sisters were dressed as a princess and I . . . was . . . a . . hobo. . .
That's exactly how I felt too - like some dirty, yucky, plain thing. Would you believe I cried because I thought it was so unfair the girls got to be something beautiful and wonderfull, and I couldn't just because I was a boy?
Well, these days I'm 42, make my own darn rules, and it's 100% OK for a boy to wear a beautiful dress if he wants to.
So there!

Hey Jenny
I started the same way. Never got caught by my Dad or Step

[RuthieER]

I never had any obvious signs that I wanted to wear girl's clothes when I was a child. When I was 16, I was staying at my grandmother's big house in which she had some foreign students staying with her. I was alone in the basement bathroom enjoying myself with an old Sears catalogue. Out of curiosity I looked in a small cupboard there and found menstrual pads and fresh panties belonging to a girl who had a room in the basement. I tried on the panties as an erotic experiment and it was *wonderful*! Some months later, I was staying there again, this time, put up in the girl's room (she was off on break or something). She was just about my size, and I dressed completely in her clothes (except shoes, which were too small), panties, bra, panty hose, skirt and blouse. The feeling was overwhelming, and I fantasized about being made love to by a handsome man. That opened the flood gates, and I've been a bisexual crossdresser ever since.

Sometime during the summer of 1975, I use to look at the JcPenny catalogs in my parents room instead of taking naps when I was suppose to. I was 5 then. Anyway, I always went to the under garments section of the catalog first and was just awed by what I saw. Then, one day I said to my young self, "Self, let's try on some of Mum's stuff!" I've been hooked ever since. The day after my first dressing session, I was suppose to be taking a nap but I had some of her stuff on. She must of heard me making noise so she came down the hall. I quickly shot under those covers. "What are you doing? You're suppose to be taking a nap!", she asked. "Nothing!", I replied. The second day of my early "Dressing", I almost got caught.

Regular visitors here may recall my wife started dressing me years ago. I now live full time at home. I won't bother repeating the story but if anyone hasn't heard it and wants to, e mail me and I will share details.

[docrobbysherry]

I've always had desires for tite, confining undergarments like; girdles, corsets, all-in-ones. Maybe because bondage was my obsession for years? Never acted on them tho. Then, 8 years ago, we had some boxes of a friend's clothes that needed to be taken to Goodwill. I looked thru them first. Tried on some very tite jeans and shorts and heels. The way they looked and felt, OMG! That opened Pandora's box for me!

I can remember being curious about girls' clothes as far back as preschool. That curiousity continued for years, although I never did anything about it. The desires were there, but they weren't overwhelmingly strong. Then, when I was about 10, I think I entered a bit of a latency period. For the next couple of years, I barely even thought about CDing.

When I was 12, however, everything changed. Believe it or not, it was actually a computer game (one of the Space Quest series) which brought it all back, much stronger than before! This particular game included a scene where the main character goes into a store and buys a dress, wig, shoes, etc. in order to disguise himself as a woman. Well, somehow, when I saw that, it was like someone threw on a light switch, and from that point on, I could barely stop thinking about dressing. Not long after, I took the plunge and started trying on my mom's things, and I haven't looked back since.

I was playng with friend when I was 4 and his sister played dress up with us. We paraded around the neighborhood and had a great time. The very next day I asked my friend if he wanted to dress up again. He said no and that it was weird that I wanted to do it again. I understood immediately that I was different. I have been dressing ever since

[joann07]

When I grew up in the late 70's and though the 80's, I had a fetish (and still do) for pantyhose and worn it secretly through most of my life.
It was only until late 2006 that I finally had an epiphany and started fully crossdressing.
When in guy mode, I still wear pantyhose under my male clothes.

[Carla68]

For me it may have started when I crossedressed action figures with my sisters barbie dolls etc. Still don't know to this day if this was the start as I would not have known what I was doing. Then in my early teens my grandmother used to collect clothing for the charity shop or jumble sale. When I was alone at my grandmothers I used to try on the ladies clothing and enjoy it a great deal with all the various sensations. Then after my grandmother stopped doing this, so did I until my mid/late 30's. When I went to a charity fancy dress party I went as a schoolgirl. With a female member of the family applying the makeup I looked great. This is the only time my family have seen me dressed. Wheter they know or not I don't know because I believe I'm still in the closet. Since this event (3-4years ago) I have continued and since getting the internet it makes it easy to buy clothing and communicate with others as with this site.

It was about age 11. I was never very muscular or particularly good at sports. I would escape from my brothers and go into the attic, where I found an old overstuffed chair that I could move next to a window and read lots of books. That refuge 'saved' me from having to be outside and play with the other boys. Some of you may remember if you were a bit of a sissy how painful that could be.

Then I found some dresses and skirts of my mom's hanging in a forgotten part of the attic. I put them on, and when I looked into an old mirror stored there, I saw how lovely I looked, and that I looked better as girl. I was hooked. My life is still outwardly male, so my dressing has been on and off.

[Mixie]

I was still young enough to be able to comfortably fit underneath my mothers bed, so I must have been between 4 and 6. I remember squeezing under there when nobody was around and putting on a pair of pantyhose. I just layed there between the box spring and the carpet enjoying myself in pantyhose. Wow, now that I think about it, I can't believe I was left alone at that age! Then again, it was a big house, and my mom was very busy...

Yes! I remember the crossdressing scene in Space Quest... 4 was it? I always not the tg themes in video games! There is a similar scene in Final Fantasy 7 where the main character has to get close to the villian by entering the beauty contest he's judging!

As for what started me.. I remember wanting to be a girl in the 1st grade.. I didn't start doing it really until I hit puberty though.. It was erotic, but I remember wanting to do it since long before I had a sex drive..

[kimberly ann487]

It happened for me during that dangerous time between getting out of school and when my mom got home. I tried on just about all my sisters underwear and clothes that would fit, mom was too tiny for me. This lasted for a few years but slowed as time passed and my routine changed. Over the years every once in a while I would try on my wife's things but that was it. It wasn't until recently that I really got into it, with this sites help of course, buying my own things etc.

My mother was French and it was summer vacation and I was lucky enought to be spending it in Marseille and Carrie le Rouet. I was 11 or 12, just entering puberty and saw my female cousins who were a year older going around topless! WOW!

I remember a special dream where I fell into a deep, deep hole and while tumbling down having my clothes ripped from my body and then tumbling some more and falling into girl's panties and a dress. When I woke there was a wet spot in my bed, it was my first nocturnal emission! It was so erotic that I continued to fantasize about wearing girl's clothing. When we returned to St. Louis from France I would sneak into my mother's bedroom when my parents were away and try on her panties, graduating to her entire wardrobe in the coming months. DID I SPELL THAT CORRECTLY???? My mother had the most wonderful panties, they were sheer and had a multitude of pastel colors.
My drawers are filling with similar types now.....No whitey tightes for me!

I have always thought it began when I was 10. I was taking skiing lessons. My mom couldn't find long underwear in my size so she borrowed some tights from a friend's daughters, who were my age. I hated it at first, but then started really enjoying the feeling of the tights. A couple years later, I was home alone during the summer, while my mom and dad were at work. I found an old dresser with discarded nylons and pantyhose. I tried them on. I haven't been able to stop since, and that was over 40 years ago.

[Nicole Erin]

Had a thing for hose as long as I remember.
On a very rare occasion I would try on something of my sister's or mom's.
Of course I knew boys were not suppose to enjoy these things so I didn't think much about dressing. Besides I was too buasy trying to be manly.

So about 23 yrs old, I was going to have the place to myself for 3 weeks and out of the blue I said "I wonder what it would be like to be dressed totally as a woman instead of just undergarments?" Put together an outfit, got some makeup....

Yeah 23 is really late for someone to FINALLY acknowledge their CD'ness and dress all the way.
