I rarely CD unless I can dress fully, with makeup, and stay that way for at least a day. I recently had a break for almost a month, but apart from that I've been CDing quite a lot over the last 5 months or so. The last two weeks I've spent more time en femme than not.
Still, I do get a little melancholy when I have to change back to male mode, but I generally don't let it bother me. Besides, it nice to not have to work on my appearance for a few days. And to give my poor face a break from all that close shaving.
Most 'erotic' CDers generally feel a very strong urge to remove all feminine clothing & makeup as soon as they achieve sexual release, especially when they are young. But most of us older t-girls like to stay dressed up as long as posssible, once we've gone through all that effort to look & feel pretty.
