Hey all,

As I've said in many posts that I've left, I am strictly a fetishistic CD, I only do it for sexual pleasure. Having said that...

I have gone through phases in my life with CDing. I will do it for a year or so, then take a year or two off, then I'm all about it again. At one point, I took 3 or 4 years away from it without a glance back. Then one night, sometime in 2006, I decided that it would be cool to get a bustier, stockings, heels, the whole bit, just cause I haven't felt them against my skin in so long. So I went out and got some stuff. That was a good night indeed, coming home with some lingerie, a couple of dresses, very good night indeed. I was living with a roommate and her two kids at the time. I always fantasized about having my own apartment, getting dressed up and walking downstairs, walking through the complex and getting into my car and driving off. Going out in public while dressed up was extremely alluring to me, but scary as hell. I always thought I had to live by myself to do this, as I had no desire to come out to anyone about my crossdressing. Then one night, the desire to do it was strong enough that I said, screw it. Everyone was asleep by midnight or so, and the house lights were all turned off, giving me plenty of cover, but I was still a bit too scared to dress up and leave my bedroom, so I put on my lingerie, then put jeans and a t-shirt over it, and put my dress and heels in a bag to take with me. When I got in my car I got fully changed, then drove off. I remember my first time walking around outside in ladies clothing. I was wearing a sheer Ashley Escante Peignoir gown, a garter belt, stockings, and heels. I drove around for 30 minutes or so, looking for some deserted spot around town. I settled on the outskirts of a construction site that thankfully didn't have security or security cameras around. I remember the wind blowing my gown as I was walking the street. Holy shit it felt liberating. It added a whole new dimension to me for crossdressing. I was hooked, it became something I did every chance I got. I always just stayed indoors while dressed up, but that all changed.

At some point in 2007, I met the girl that eventually became my wife. I knew pretty soon that she was the one for me. Going through as many wrong chicks as I have, it really helped me to define the right one, when she came along. I still crossdressed while we dated, but I knew that I'd have to stop once we got married, or so I thought.

I remember my last time crossdressing before I got married. I totally thought that it would be my last time. I was okay with that, too. After 7 or 8 months of getting married, I was starting to get the bug again, or the "pink fog" as I've seen it referred to. My wife is very trusting of me. She doesn't snoop through my stuff, and she's EXTREMELY reliable to go to bed around 10 or 11 and never wakes up until morning. Knowing this, I was thinking that I could start up again, easily keep a stash without it being found, and have freedom to dress up and go out after she goes to sleep, as well as dress up during the day while she's at work as I work from home. It's been great. I've fulfilled a lot of fantasies I've always had since I picked it back up again, such as dressing as a hot maid, leaving the apartment dressed up, walked around in public (through a casino on Haloween), pumped gas...it's been great, really. I've also filmed many hours of myself modeling all these outfits that I've bought and grabbed stills from that so I've got a huge catalogue of pics, which I absolutely love. I've spent many, many hundreds of dollars on outfits, and usually take most, if not all of it back so I don't lose much money when it's all said and done. I have kept a handful of items of lingerie, dresses, 2 wigs, breastforms, boots and two pairs of heels. As far as crossdressing goes, I've been very happy with my arrangement. However...

Lately, meaning the last month or so, my interest has waned considerably. I still love satisfying myself sexually while looking at pics of myself dressed up, but actually dressing up...it's really a chore for me these days. I still do it when I get new outfits, but really more to get the pics of myself dressed up than for the actual enjoyment of being dressed up. Once I'm dressed up, I usually enjoy it, but not enough that I find myself doing it with outfits I don't already have pics of. It's just so much damn work. Maybe I'm just too lazy to be a good crossdresser anymore...

I can't be ignorant of the fact that this is at least the 3rd or 4th time that I've considered stopping my crossdressing. However, for the other times I stopped, now that I think about it, it was me trying to stop, as I would try to stop an addiction, it wasn't me stopping because I lost interest... It's weird to think that I just may be over it. I've still got some dresses on the way to me in the mail, so I'm at least going to cd a few more times to get pics of all that stuff, but after that....I don't know. I'll probably dress a few more times just to see how I feel about it, but I may be putting it all behind me. I figure I'll give it a good 6 to 8 months, and if I still have not had the slightest urge to dress at that point, then I may just sell all the dresses and what not on ebay. We'll see what happens... If I do, I'll be sure to come back and let you guys know so you can peruse my wardrobe. For those of you who like sexy dresses, you'd probably find some gems.

Sorry for the long post. Not really looking for advice or anything, though if you have any I'm definitely open to hear what you have to say. Just felt like talking about what's going on, I guess.

It's weird, even though I don't dress much anymore, I still love shopping for women's clothing...what's up with that?!?

Peace to all.

Thanks for sharing Danielle. I've been having similar kinds of experiences and feelings towards dressing. I still love dressing most of the time but sometimes it has come to be sort of a distraction more than anything - my desire to dress, etc. I don't have any inclination towards quitting altogether: I still love dressing when opportunity and desire coincide. At this stage in my life, I have to prioritize certain things and really have to buckle down and spend a lot of time with my career and my family, so it's hard.

Again, thanks for sharing.

One of the things that I like about this family is that we don't all have to be the same,but we can learn from and support each other.

Each of us is an individual, if you are finding that your feelings are changing, perhaps you should go withthe flow and see where it takes you


actually dressing up...it's really a chore for me these days. I still do it when I get new outfits, but really more to get the pics of myself dressed up than for the actual enjoyment of being dressed up. Once I'm dressed up, I usually enjoy it, but not enough that I find myself doing it with outfits I don't already have pics of. It's just so much damn work.

If it is becoming a chore, you may need to give yourself a holiday from it.

I don't buy the "good crossdresser" bit, IMNSHO there's no such thing as a good or bad crossdresser in that sense.

Give yourself time and don't rush into another purge, but don't let yourself feel pressured into doing something you no longer want to do either.

I can't relate to your particular situation because I'm not a fetishistic cder, and I don't really know how fetishes affect people but...I would think if it doesn't interest you to dress up anymore, then yeah, don't. Take it if and when you want and leave it when you don't. You don't necessarily have to get it in your mind that you are "quitting" cding or leaving it all behind. Research shows that the feeling most likely will resurface at some point in the future. But who cares, deal with it then. Some people wax and wane in terms of days and others years. It's different for all of us so why worry :) Just do what you do.

Well i had a few moments in my life where i crossdressed in the past. Generally it was not very elaborate. Then i always got ridd of the few items i had.

I have noticed I crossdress when i feel alone. I'm basically heterosexual and when i'm in love with a lady or when i think i've found the right one, then i have no need for crossdressing.
Then it ends up each time with me losing my illusions and left heartbroken and that 's during those moments that i 'm tempted by CDing.

Last time was certainly a turning point for me cause i've really bought all the elements of my fantasy outfit i had in mind for a long time.
And i don't consider stopping now. Have lost faith in women or in me maybe ;) ?

It sounds (or reads) like you’re talking to yourself, as one would in a personal journal. You’re riding the undulating waves of enthusiasm, no more, no less. It’s best not to think too much about such waxing and waning. What you once had will come back, later if not sooner, and it will go away again, then come back, repeat, repeat, repeat. Are you young? Are you over-thinking the natural rhythms of crossdressing and looking for something more substantial to hang on to (pun intended)? If you crossdress for some sort of sexual gratification, how could you put it aside for very long? I know you’re not looking for advice, but get real, relax, and enjoy your particular CD niche. It’s not an addiction, it’s an enjoyable activity (with psychological baggage if you wish), so why can’t you see it that way? I say keep the sexy dresses – you’ll be thankful you did…:straightface:

Since you're an MtF crossdresser, how could you possibly lose interest in shopping for women’s clothing? This is a kind of religion for some girls (I mean ladies) here. You might as well deny who you are, and make yourself miserable in the process. Sounds unrealistic, wouldn't you say? Get back out there and enjoy yourself, as soon as this apathetic episode passes…

You have substituted one fetish for another. Crossdressing for shopping!! I haven't dressed in so long but still love to shop too... I'm thinking of changing my label from a crossdresser to a collector of feminine things.. Sigh.. But the think is that the urges will come back.. They always have. And always will.

I think the only value of labels is if they help a person understand themselves better.

As a young CDer, I would suppose that the sexual gratification was a stronger part of the mix, but I suspect it was more a by product than a root cause. I mean, at 18, an endorphin rush and an erection are almost inevitably linked...at 44, not necessarily so.

If you find the need to stop then by all means do it. One suggestion would be to save at least one outfit. Put it in the attic or basement or tucked away in the corner of the closet. Should you ever get the urge again at least it wouldn't cost a fortune to get dressed, especially if it just turned into a passing thought. Good luck

Danielle,
I, too, am a fetish dresser, and enjoy looking at the photos and videos I take when I dress up. Could it be that, in part at least, your desires to dress again comes from a need for "new" photos and videos to view? I think it does for me somewhat, although I really love the dressup experience as it happens.
Also, your regard for dressing as a chore: is it what you must do to get the pictures? For me, the dressup is the main event and the photos and videos are a bonus. Do you ever have the chance to dress in complete isolation from all distractions where time is no issue, such as a trip to a hotel alone for a couple or more days? Does the pressure of getting the dressup session done and everything put away take away from the experience and not let you enjoy it to the max?
I have periods when I don't dress much, and others when I can't get enough. I think it's pretty normal.

Hey all,

Thank you so much for your words of advice, encouragement, and wisdom. It's definitely a day by day thing for me, and I'm okay with that. I've been away for a few days with the wife and just got back. She's been on her period, so I've had no sexual release for a few days, which is WAY too long for me. Driving home, I was thinking about dressing up and going out after the wife goes to bed, so here I am! All dolled up, and ready to hit the streets! It's still a hassle to me to get all dressed up, but I guess if I go long enough without it, or any sexual release, then it starts sounding good to me again. Who knows, right? I guess I need to stop trying to have the whole future of my crossdressing habits figured out and mapped out, and just go with the flow.

I'm dressed up in a tight black pencil dress, black thigh high backseamed stockings, a cupless bustier and garters, my 38DDD breastforms, a Betty Page wig, and sexy ass stilettos. About to open that front door and feel the tug of garters on my stockings as I walk down the stairs to my car and a nice cool breeze go up my dress....

Luv.

-Danielle

Whooh! Just got back from going out and driving around a bit. Took my massager with me, found a secluded spot in the middle of nowhere where I could prance around outside a bit with no one around to bother me, then took my massager and....you know. I might go back to being more interested in pics of myself dressed up than actually dressing up tomorrow, but tonight, it was quite refreshing and erotic to be dressed en femme!
