Hi Girls,
I just wanted to ask if you get more of an emotional sense of satisfaction,sexual or some other unique feeling/experience from dressing?
We need not get too explicit with the 's' word, lol.
I find this is emotional for me,soothing,and also liberating.
Hugs

I also find it soothing and comfortable. It takes me to another place. It sometime feels like a dream.
I'm inrtregiued as to what are "s" words?

I would have to say emotional, been celibate for four years now.
Emotional, not sure as i think this could describe how i get when i cant dress how i like for a while.
Satisfaction, yes as i am satisfying my needs to be how i wont to be , then the rest seam to just follow, fulfillment, happiness enjoyment, calmness then that puts one into a good frame of mind for doing anything you have a mind to do . ( playing it safe)

Shave, shower, shomething else?
For me, dressing is a thrill and while not completely a sexual thrill it is tied up with one.
I have heard many comments from people saying it is an identity thing and they feel more natural when dressed, and similar remarks, but I cannot relate.
On the other hand, just like Andy Kaufman I am happy to admit there is no "real me" so this might not prove anything!

All of the above for me. I just love to dress and love the look and the feeling I get when dressed.It is a wonderful transformation.
My best feeling if to feel pretty. It's soooooooooh wonderful and amazing !
Even told a rather good looking boy, I missed almost lifelong the constant feeling of being a pretty girl, just admired for her beauty, not for anything else. I dream to be born the dumbest blonde (even dumber than Deborah Jane), but the prettiest (sorry Deborah !!).
Maybe, I am narcissistic ?

Oh is she gonna give you a good kick in the a** for that one, luckily for you Nadia she has a great sense of humor so I doubt it'll hurt to much
I just dress to enjoy it, play around with different looks and like the feeling of taking on a different persona. Feel very at ease and relaxed when dressed like alot of others, lifes problems seem to just melt away.
Its something now I'm glad I was born with.
This is a very good question. I don't think is is sexual. Being sexually aroused while dressed puts lumps and bumps in places that should not be. I think it is more of a sensual feeling rather than sexual. In my mind I want to be sensually attractive. I want to feel attractive in a way that is pleasant to myself and others. It is a bit like being an artist with me as both the canvas and the artist. I wish to create a piece of art that is satisfyingly pleasant to both me, the artist, and those viewing me. When I can accomplish that there is a great sense of success. ( I have yet to experience that, however)---Fanci
The best way I can describe it is, well, that I'm comfortable. When I'm in male clothing there's always the underlying feeling that I'm dressed wrong. An example, it feels like wearing a t-shirt and jeans at a formal function where everyone else it wearing a tux. Sure, I'm not exposing anything, but just always feels like I should be wearing something else. I never feel that way when I'm dressed in female clothes. Certain female clothing just feels different, and oddly, I notice it more when it's not there, like there's something missing (examples, a bra, or the way nylon panties or a slip slide on my skin when I move).
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.
It is a sensual and sexual escape providing relaxation and stimulation. Perhaps it is like a four-dimensional self-portrait sculpture. As a writer, painter and sculptor I often disappear into my creative projects. As a cross-dresser I do the same, but it more like performance art. My only audience is my wife and me. In fantasies it is the whole world, but only time will tell if it is wise for that.
Fanci and Ozma have said it quite well, for me.
When I begin to dress, I get caught up in all aspects of what I want to wear. All the extraneous noise in my mind stops! Only my dressing is in my thots!
Inevitably, when I finish and see Sherry in the mirror, it is such a RUSH!
Then, comes the excitement and turn on! Not emotional, tho. The excitement continues all thru my CD session. I conclude my sessions with sex, after taking my photos!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
I get a deep sense of individuality. A feeling that I've finally arrived where I am supposed to be.

Well for me it's just and everyday normal thing as I have been CDing since I was 14 and my mother knew, my wife knew going into our marriage. Yes at first it was very sexual and as time when on it was just normal as it is today. I am just as comfortable in fem as in drab but prefer fem.
I would have to totally agree with this. I feel the same way!!
This joke of mine was directly related to the "dumb blondie" label that Deborah Jane has added between her name and her gorgeous avatar showing herself as the most lovely and wonderful blonde. This funny label of hers is obviously to be taken with humour.
Moreover, remember that Deborah is at the moment conducting the most funny thread: "Blonde thought of the day...." on another forum of this board.
So that I never thought that my joke about the dumb blondes could be misinterpreted as being somewhat rude to Deborah, and I feel extremely sorry if it had been the case.
I am honoured instead to be Deborah's friend and especially praise, among other qualities of hers, her great sense of humor.
For the case my contribution has not been read as a good joke by some readers, I want to apologize a lot for my badly worded joke. You have to excuse me since I'm a dumb blonde too.

When I first started CDing it was mostly a sexual thing, often combined with other stuff (see the thread on CDing and Bondage).
However, it gradually became less about sex and more about emotional things. I don't know exactly why I enjoy it so much, it's just so relaxing, I feel more able to express my emotions when 'en femme', I feel a lot more beautiful and I can look a lot more like how I often want to look. As for how it affects my personality, I am generally happier, more social (when I have got over the fear of stepping out of my room en femme... usually only on halloween and a few fancy dress things though) and I generally tend to think of myself in a somewhat less self-critical way when I am en femme.
Oh, and I usually end up sleeping sort of "en femme" (casual dress but no make-up, tights etc...) - I just find it more comfortable and it is pretty good to wake up in something other than "bob mode".
I think everyone knows it was a friendly joke with no bad intent between friends.This joke of mine was directly related to the "dumb blondie" label that Deborah Jane has added between her name and her gorgeous avatar showing herself as the most lovely and wonderful blonde. This funny label of hers is obviously to be taken with humour........

I know I responded to what you said knowing Debs as well, as having a great sense of humor and would look at your post with such.
I saw no harm in what you said, rather just humor which Debs is known for.
Your joke was funny and worded OK, I'm sure she'll find it that way as well when she reads it Nadia.
I would have taken it that way if it was directed at me, its all in fun
For me it's emotional, and sensual and sexual somewhat.
But then again I'm 25, anything and everything can be sexual to people my age.
It's really hard to describe though. It boils down to just FEELING "right".
You're right Kelly, when you say it "just feels right". and don't lose any hope, I'm 60 and its still a wonderful sexual experience for me also. Hugs, Amber
"in varietate concordia"
I find myself in a different place so to speak when I dress. I find that when dressed my emotional state is totally different then when in "male mode(ugh ugh). I find that my female persona is much more viable and I LIKE THAT!!!!!
"To thine own self be true"
hi feel more relaxed as erica- i just love it - wish i could dress more often0 and i lve shopping
I usually experience a combination of all 3 although the one particular emotion will be stronger than the other at certain times.Hi Girls,
