What do you get out of crossdressing?

[AKAMichelle]

I was asked this question the other day and unfortunately I still don't have an answer. So how would you answer this question?

[Michelle 2]

Contentment! Plain and simple.

Michelle

[Karren H]

An overly complicated life!!

[Cullaby]

escape and relaxation

[Lady_Chaos]

A sense of joy that I can breath in my own skin. A big stress reliever (also a cause to some of it ...lol)
plus I look better in a skirt and heels than a lot of girls I know :)

[Jane G]

Lots of prety clothes. A happy if slightly complicated life.

[gender_blender]

Self Expression. Auto-sexuality to my passable feminine image. Identity.
Professional modeling pictures and opportunities for personal freedom.

[Kathi Lake]

Exactly what I put into it.

:)

Kathi

[Lorileah]

Sore feet and a stiff back usually. When dressed I am an attention junkie. I am also more relaxed and I will use the trite phrase both sides use, comfortable. I also get sore k muscles from smiling

[Trish]

Two wardrobes, one that has lots of pretty clothes.

[Wendy_Marie]

contentment and a sense that all is as it should be.

[Courtney]

just a lil fun and escape from reality for a few hrs!

[AllieSF]

Short answer: A lot of happiness. Long answer: to be filled in at a later time because Allie is going out tonight so I really need to pick out that perfect outfit! Sorry Michelle, it is all Renee's fault.

[Cynthia Anne]

Peace of mind! And being true to myself!

[ClaireClark]

Comfort, joy, being closer to the person I should be. Challenging myself to face up to all this stuff. But most of all, knowing it is what I should be.

[Nikki_Girl]

Being completely true to my true self.

[Sweet_Nicole]

A chance to feel pretty and sexy. Not to mention an empty wallet :)

[Rhibabes]

Contentment! Plain and simple.

Michelle

i feel like its the way it should be kinda hard to describe

[VioletJourney]

It's fun and it makes me happy. I don't need to gain anything from it.

[sissystephanie]

What do I get out of crossdressing? Simply the opportunity to wear very comfortable and pretty clothes, which I wouldn't get to do if I was not a crossdresser!! No sex, or anything else, involved. Just wearing the clothes is all I care about!

[Dawn cd]

A great sense of peace, knowing that I am really all together, along with a spritz of excitement.

Dawn

[MsKimiko]

i get an escape from my male persona and the feeling of sexiness while wrapped in my femme form..

[Tina P Hose]

Feeling sexy and i guess wanting to be submissive

[Laura-uk]

It's about what crossdressing get out of me, my fem side gets 2 be!

[Robin Lee]

Being the true to my self me!

[5150 Girl]

For me it's about putting somthing right, that went horribly wrong at birth

[sallyissuper]

It's FUN!
It's sexy and I feel pretty.
I feel relaxed when I sit and paint my nails.

[Shapeshiffter]

My sanity, such that it is.

[PretzelGirl]

Self expression, less room in my house, less money in my account, loads of fun, and many great friends.

[Sensei86]

Feeling great and sexy.

[Crissy Kay]

just a lil fun and escape from reality for a few hrs!

Thats pretty much my reasons too!!

[cd_in_de]

how soft and silky the clothes are. getting to be feminine as a release from the daily masculinity.

[SweetIonis]

Honestly, it's simple. I love feeling feminine and looking pretty.

[NathalieX66]

I do not like gender constraints......I go where I go/I like what I like.
I never saw myself as any, or either gender.
You want a warrior?.......I can be that.
You want a princess?......I can be that.

[Fab Karen]

What does a GG get out of cute/fab clothes, shoes, make-up?

[Gaby2]

Well Michelle, I get that 42 feeling, ultimately answering the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything! :oGaby

[SweetIonis]

Well Michelle, I get that 42 feeling, ultimately answering the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything! :oGaby

LOL!

I answer this question:

do I really want to do it?

YES!!!!!

[Tess]

Its fun and adds a little adventure to an otherwise boring routine.

[Valerie1973]

It's fun, Cheap thrills, um.. tranquility, feels damn good. For all it's worth what ever blows your skirt up.

[eluuzion]

I suppose it is one of the few places in my life that generates (positive) energy without expectations.

:love:

[KrystalA]

I get the pleasure of wearing feminine clothing, and the joy in my mind of feeling and looking as much as possible like a girl.

[Raychel]

I get to relax and just be myself, Along with a closet full of nice clothes and an empty bank account.:doh:

[Karinsamatha]

I get the feeling of contentment, and wholeness that I don't have when I present as a male. And I think 42 is the meaning of life. :)

[Lucy Long Legs]

I'm not a masculine man in any way so dressing means I can stop trying. I look much better as a girl anyway.

[Mollyanne]

My answer would be the simplest: This is who I am and who I would like to be; A WOMAN!!!!!!!

Molly

[suchacutie]

Discovery. I spent 55 years as a guy, or so I thought. Then suddenly I find that part of me is feminine. To say that was a jolt is a massive understatement, but the path was suddenly clear: find out who Tina is, what role she has played for 55 years, and what role she plays today. That enlightenment brings incredible mental pleasure. On the way I've learned so much about what it's like to grow up as a girl, what my wife's life is like, and, of course, a lot about who I am. As with everyone else, there is a part of it that complicates my life incredibly, but there is a remarkable satisfaction as Tina looks at herself in the mirror and smiles. Heck, I never even liked dressing up for Hallowen and here I am, transformed into my feminine self!

It's only been just shy of 6 years and I'm sure it's just the beginning of the journey for Tina!

[CarolineWolf]

A feeling of completeness and relaxation. Stress relief.

[Lainie]

I get the joy of accomplishment. It's like a game. If I can put together a cute outfit that works in spite of my shape, and looks like what a sophisticated woman of my age would wear, it's a success. Also role-playing as a woman--even just driving into town while wearing a skirt and heels feels like wearing a new persona. Smiles and conversation and acceptance in shops, restaurants, art galleries--it's fun to share!

[JodieGreen]

I....feel...like





me.

[AllieSF]

OK, now back top the longer answer to what I get out of dressing as a woman in addition to all the happiness. I have met some great and very interesting friends, learned more than I ever thought that I wanted to learn about the Tworld with all of its beauty and complications, learned how to put together interesting and fun outfits, how to shop too much and spend wisely (that really does not go together very well with shopping too much though), how to apply makeup fairly well (no expert here and more practice is necessary), to expand my extrovertness (is that a word?) and meet total strangers and ask truly off the wall and very up close and intimate questions and receive very serious answers too, dance in the woman's role awkwardly, celebrate those little femme moments where I don't need to ask why I do this, not give a damn about why I do this, and maybe finally though there are definitely many more things, I have learned to really love my self and embrace this side of me instead of question it.

[Robyn2006]

Fulfillment, plain and simple. Only when en femme do I feel myself. My male life is the facade, truth be told, the mask I wear. The hardest part of all this is having to go back to male mode, a persona I've always been ill equipped to pull off.

[Natalie D]

It brings the girl in me out. Escape and relaxation. I feel good, sexy, confident, relaxed and happy. I love the feeling of thinking to myself, now what should I wear when I get home? Sexy or just something nice?

[Daenna Paz]

A thinner wallet ... and some amazing friends!! :D

[AllieSF]

Well said Daenna. Actually, my wallet is about the same thickness or thicker because of all those receipts in there. Out goes cash or the credit card and in comes the receipts, sometimes double.
