the age old question...Why do we Crossdress???????

[Christina Horton]

ok I was wondering...what are your reasons for Cding. If we all put our :2c: worth in maybe we can figger it out.

Me , well I dress to fullfill my fem-side witch is very big. I love to be treated like a woman , and I love the clothes women ,(and I ) wear.lol.


So what are your reasons , and don't be shy girls give untill it hurts.

[ColleenW]

Why? I like the clothes, the fabrics, styles, looks, so much more than in men's clothing. There's nothing quite like the feel of silk on a completely smooth body:o

[SweetCaroline]

For me, there is no reason. I've always done it, since I was very young. It's a big part of who I am as a person and I can't imagine being otherwise.

That's about it.

Why do I Crossdress

Why do people crossdress wheiter male or female? ? Does anyone really know ! ! ! Personally I don't think anyone knows the answer to this question. If you ask this question to a thousand different crossdressers you'll get a thousand different answers.

I have been crossdressing for almost 50 years and I still don't really know why I crossdress. I think it most likely started out as a fetish when I was younger. But as the years went on I discovered that it really had very little, if anything to do with sex. I hardly ever get aroused sexually when I dress anymore. But yet I dress almost everyday (night). I like the way I feel when I am dressed. I like trying to look the best that I can. Taking the time to really get a close shave and putting on makeup the taste the smell of it all. The way the clothes feel against my skin. There is nothing quite like the feel of silk or nylon against the body. To wear a dress or a short skirt and feeling that cool breeze blowing the tail of it up a little and the coolness against the body. ( What a feeling) Why should all of this be reserved for the women of our lives. I love this feeling as much as anyone male or female.

When I get dressed I feel so good and have a feeling of pleasure just knowing that I have made an attempt at perhaps improving my looks. Yes I think I look better when dressed especially when I take the time to carefully apply my makeup and fix my hair (wig). If my body was just shaped a little differently I don't think I would have any problems passing. (need to lose about 20 lbs) Another reason I enjoy getting dressed up is. I feel sexy not necessarily look sexy but feel sexy. If I have any house work to do. Ha Ha If. . . . I will always dress in a pair pantyhose a pair of cutoffs and a Tee with my favorite bra. Put on a pair of tennis shoes and I am ready to clean house. Or maybe sometimes I will put on a short denium skirt with a tank top. I don't mind cleaning house this way but I just can't get into cleaning if I am not dressed. Why…. don't ask me because I can't tell you. But to me this is a sexy look and feel that I enjoy.

One other reason that I think that I crossdress is. I like the way that a pair of lycra satin panties feel especially when they really fit. The tightness of a bodybriefer. That soft smooth feel of a pair of pantyhose or stockings against my legs. The feel of a short slip riding high up my thighs maybe even exposing the top of a pair of lace top stockings help up with garters. The really snug . . even tight fit of maybe a corset or waist cincher trying to hold in that spare tire around the waist.

These are just a few of the reasons that i would give for crossdressing. . . Why don't you tell me a few of yours.

It's because we have the super-powers of crossdressing. Super-powers are awesome. We are better in touch with the spirit world and should guide the world out of darkness with our dual-pronged wisdom.

[Kelly Greene]

I like the way the cloths feel aginst my skin.
I like the way high heels feel on my feet.
I like to feel good about the way I feel about the way I look.
Some times it is fun to note the reactions of those who realise they are looking at a man's legs not a womans legs ( this can also be a little scarry so there is a little bit of a thrill element also)
There is an element of stress relief provided by cding.
Lastly it is fun to get dressed up.

[Nicole Brown]

I am not really sure that I know why I crossdress. What I do know is that I love the feel of my soft sexy clothing. I love the way my high heel make my legs look. I love the feeling of my legs when they rub together when they are covered with sheer stockings. I love the feel of the long hair of my wig. I love the look, smell and taste of my makeup. And I especially love the way I appear when I look in the mirror. I guess this means that I crossdress because I love everything about it.

My grandmother was right.

Didn't wash my hands, ate a taco salad, and whamm-o. Woke up the next morning in a silk robe and panties and all I wanted to do was sip cosmos and watch Bridezillas.

Wash your hands kids, or you turn into a lady.

:star: The more you know

[GaleWarning]

Because I don't think it's fair that women can wear whatever they like and men can't. It's a form of discrimination, and I hate all forms of discrimination!

Oh, I also enjoy the fabrics ...
:)

[docrobbysherry]

That's what many have said here, before me.

And it's SO TRU!:brolleyes:

Would u have CDed anywhere 100 years ago? Or even today? If u lived in Muslim, or other, very religious, and/or backward cultures?:eek:

It isn't very safe in Russia Block countries, from what I hear.:sad:

I wonder if we realize how LUCKY we R? Whatever u MAY think, I believe we DO have incredible rights and freedoms in the Western World!:)

Well said:)

[Sally2005]

I don't know why, but I know how I feel.

Cding is like a mini-vacation, a way to escape for a while.
The desire is strongest some mornings when I wake up.
I enjoy being male but also being female sometimes.
It sometimes feels addictive.
The more I experience what I thought impossible and too scary in the past, the less strong the desire to CD.
The more I accept that CDing is part of who I am, the better I feel.

An age-old question deserves an age-old answer.

[Pattie O]

I crossdress because I love the feel and look of womens clothes on my body and I enjoy feeling feminine.I think that is the strongest desire ,to feel feminine and be like a woman;maybe it is just strong curiosity to know how the other 1/2 feel and live.It does help me understand something more about feelings and relationships and I do feel more relaxed and often happier when dressed.I have been dressing from a very young age so it seems somewhat natural for me now even though I am not "out" to most people.I have a desire to be more open about CDing but feel it would be quite awkward in my situation.I just know that the feeling to dress has never gone away and it appears to surface especially during times of stress in my life.(is it my security blanket?)

[Vicky_Scot]

Why do I crossdress?

IMO its because I was born a crossdresser. For some reason whilst in the womb I was left with a little to much female hormones as we all start of in the womb as female. Who really knows.

But I know this. It is something I had no choice in like I had no choice in the colour of my eyes or how tall I would grow etc.

[Jenniferpl]

Too many reasons to list but her are few.
e
The feel of the fabric.
The joy of wearing a bra and forms.
The way my legs look wearing heels.
Wearing makeup, espically lipstick.
Being relaxed when being femmine
It just feels right.

[TGMarla]

The reasons are very hard to put into words. It's difficult to describe something ambiguous, but it has to do with look, feel, inner self, and a sense of peacefulness. When I purchased my new hair last January, I relayed the experience after leaving the store:


And so I left, just glowing from a great experience, feeling very feminine and beautiful. It's hard to describe, but if anyone asks me why I crossdress, I'll tell them it's because every once in a while, I get to feel like that. I still feel warm all over from it.

That's the closest I've come to describing why I crossdress. I guess the reason is that it just feels right to me, and it makes me happy.

Here are some of the myriad reasons. This survey is old, but the data is relevant. Enjoy!

[MichelleP]

Because I feel better, much better.
Because I feel feminine.
Because I want to.
Because I need to.
Because it's what I am.
Because somewhere in my beginnings my Muellerian ducts fought my Wolffian ducts and lost but my brain didn't get the news.
Because I am incomplete and would lead a life of "quiet desparation" without dressing.
Because the social norms of western society dictate what the majority of FABs wear and my super-ego strives to conform to that social norm. (However, if mens and womens clothing were all the same, I would still retain the id, the ego and the super-ego of my feminine self - I would still have a feminine self no matter how I dress).


Not because I find it sexually arousing (though I did for a time).
Not because I'm trying to fool anybody.
Not because I'm trying to "imitate" a woman.
Not because I'm trying to shock anybody.
Not because I want to be the center of attention in a crowd, party or public place.

[StaceyJane]

I crossdress because it lets me feel like a woman!

[emmlouise]

Just because!

[MJ]

because from day one it's who i am.

[Jaclyn NM]

I simply love the feel of wearing female clothes, and I also love the look. I especially love the feel of wearing stockings and high heels. To me it's just heaven.

[Joanne f]

The problem that i have is trying to understand why people say that i am cross dressing :doh:

[vjaducd]

Too many reasons to list but her are few.

The feel of the fabric.

Yes I love c.d.ing with said reasons + to fullfill my hidden sensual wishes to have such a nice lovely, sexy looking lady with me & not getting it including sexual needs to be fullfilled with some one so I decided to be c.d.er. I enjoy total fentasis. I love to paint make up while looking some sexy looking female/ actoress/models when not getting it with me then why should I wait for it ?
Go c.d.ering & enjoy the life before it ends. It's god's gift to performe dual gender happiness for total satisfaction.:hugs::love::thumbsup:

[Emmalee_Summers]

In truth i always wanted to be a girl from the time i was little. i never wanted to play or watch football and the like i want to do gymnastics or be a cheerleader. This has been a part of me ever since i began to notice the difference in boy vs girl activities. For me i always felt like a female in a male body. So at less by CDing in my own room i feel closer to being the female i always wanted to be. One day i will work up the nerve to start living life ( at less away from work and school) as a girl.

[CharlotteW]

Hmmm, the last time I dressed was over a month ago at Sparkle 2009. I don't do it very often now, maybe just a few times a year. However, I do wear girlie shoes very regularly, and stockings too, usually on show, nothing to hide.

[trannie T]

This is the latest in a series of threads asking the same question. The conclusion has always been that we do not know. I only know that I enjoy dressing, that it somehow makes me feel complete. I am no longer very curious about why I became a crossdresser, now I am just trying to do my best to enjoy the experience.

[Fab Karen]

God commanded me:)

[Deborah Jane]

Mmmm, a hard question
Surely it would be easier to ask.....What is the meaning of life?

[sissystephanie]

Who really cares? If you like it, then do it! It is your life!

[sherri52]

ok I was wondering...what are your reasons for Cding. If we all put our :2c: worth in maybe we can figger it out.

So what are your reasons , and don't be shy girls give untill it hurts.

I dress because it makes me feel good. I like to feel like a woman, woman are beautiful; and we do have nicer clothes

[Kara Connor]

I love the feeling of the fabrics, especially the clingy ones, and the way bras and strappy tops feel. Panties hug your body in a different way to male underwear, and feel sexy, as do pantyhose, which make my legs feel great. Basically, the girlier the better is my rule :) Love mini skirts and sandals too.

[Alice Torn]

All of the above reasons, the excitement of doing what society says is taboo, and I agree, that women can wear anything, and it is ok, but men can't, but, it is the look, and feel of the clothes, and being beutiful. Men are devalued, are limited to boring clothes, mostly.

[KerryLynn]

I just love the feel of silk and the thin cotton. Plus oh the colors pinks and blues and flowers. if I have been able to wear these as a kid I would have just been tickled pink.

[dana55]
