Okay, time for this one (perhaps again)

[Pythos]

Right. So a slew of threads have hit dealing with cross dressers and them liking men.

So lets flip it.

All those CDs that are physically attracted to women NO MATTER HOW THEY ARE DRESSED, please speak up.

Some of the threads are really implying the incorrect notion that a guy that wears women's clothing is doing it to attract men. (not that there is anything wrong with that :) )

I for one am attracted to women. No protesting to much, no denial or any of that bunk. If I have to I will say when enfem I am a lesbian, if that clears things up. lol.

Note: I am not using the terms homosexual, gay, queer, as that causes a little confusion.

When enfem, I am a male dressed as a woman, that is attracted to women. Period, end.

This is for MtoF Cds for the time being.

[Billie Jean]

I like to use the term male lesbian. So I'm with you on this one, for me its women only. Billie Jean

[ZosKiaCultusC7]

I am in the same boat. I am not attracted to men whatsoever.

[TGMarla]

You can count me among this group. I love "being" a woman from time to time, but at no time am I not my wife's husband. I'm a man, and I am attracted to women. This does not change no matter how I'm dressed.

[NicoleScott]

I am not physically attracted to men. I certainly acknowledge that women can be pretty, sexy, feminine, and othrwise attractive, but I'm true to my wife.

p.s. I like your new avatar, Pythos

[Farrah Rose]

im in this boat as well, as agirl or guy im fully attracted to women. My sexuality doesnt change with my clothes. Pythos, i liked the enfemme lesbian term :)

[Jenniferathome]

I suspect that some use the image of a woman as an excuse to act on homosexual tendencies. No straight male will ever find another male attractive sexually, regardless of how we may be dressed. I love my wife whether dressed or not. I will never, however, act on my sexual attraction to her while dressed. She is not a lesbian and we are just girlfriends when I am Jennifer and that is just fine with me. If you are gay, that's just fine but call it what it is.

[happy2cd]

I am another of the Me-toos on this one. I want to be with a woman no matter what clothes are on my body.

[Diane Smith]

I am not attracted to men or masculinity in any way. I try to distance myself from membership in the boy's club as much as possible. That's why I dress like a girl, for heaven's sake. I certainly don't want to have anything to do with males sexually, and am exclusively attracted to women.

(I do have a few very close friends I hang out with often who happen to be male. I try my best not to hold it against them. And they tend to be guys who do not have very many stereotypical male habits or interests at all. Tellingly, almost all are lifelong singles, and have trouble attracting female partners.)

- Diane

[sissystephanie]

I have never been attracted to men, and don't expect to ever do so! I do have lots of male friends, but that is all they are. And I do also have a lot of female friends, a number of whom would be a lot better friend if I let them!! But I am VERY picky!!

[Karinsamatha]

I am finding after much soul searching I have come to the conclusion I am me. I have to admit I find both men and women to be attractive.

[Coreyincs]

I am strictly a women lover. Period.

Love the new avatar Pythos!

[celtic.blue.eyes]

Another one here. I have no use for a guy's body, their macho attitudes or their plumbing - neither my own nor any one else's.

[ColleenCD]

I have no desires for men. Women, they steal my heart.

Hugs,

Colleen

[Mandy Marie]

I'm attracted to women exclusively, regardless of what I'm wearing. I admit the idea being dressed up and making out with a significant other would put me over the top of the world, I don't have that as an expectation. Being girlfriends only while dressed... and being physical in guy-mode would be fine.

Still haven't found her....

Mandy Marie

[Morford]

Like I said in the other thread, I'd probably say I'm bisexual in what I'm willing to do, but straight in who I'm willing to do it with. Only girls for me.

[Sarasometimes]

I am only attracted to females! I give those that find male attractive a lot of credit. I don't see what thye see. If i were to someday chnage genders and right now that is not at all my intent, I would then be a transexual lesbian. Males are gross, I should know I'm one.

[PretzelGirl]

All those CDs that are physically attracted to women NO MATTER HOW THEY ARE DRESSED, please speak up.

Hmmm.... Surprised that no one addressed this line or maybe I am trying to read too much into it. Everyone is replying to state they only like woman. But the above line goes further. I started to list examples, but that could inflame someone. But just think of all the clothing variations out there. That is what I take from Pythos whether that is what is intended or not. And I would have to say no. I am hetero, but some ladies can dress in a manner that doesn't attract me. I support their right to wear what they want and certainly some of them may be wonderful friends, but attraction may not occur.

[docrobbysherry]

I am more or less attracted to every fem character Sherry portrays.

And, Sherry's entire purpose on earth is to attract only ONE MAN!

[Eryn]

I'm certainly attracted to women (specifically, my wife) in male mode, just as a traditional male is.
In female mode, I certainly wish to be with and interact with woman, but I feel as though the sexual component is not present. It had better be absent because I'm still married no matter what my dress!

[ricci]

I too am a straight male. I am attracted to women dressed in drab and more attracted en femme.

[Pythos]

OH shoot. LOL. No no no. I was not referring to how the women are dressed. LOL.. No what I was referring to was the manner YOU are dressed. Okay, let me clarify.

No matter how you are dressed, are you attracted to women only. Does your manner of dress change the sex you are attracted to.

There, hopefully that clarified. :P

[Noortje]

I love women. Not men. Ugh.

Something around 80% of MtF CD's is a straight male. This is from a study; I'd link to the pdf, but it's in Dutch.

[gaylegirlify]

I too am totally attracted to women, dressed en femme i would be a lesbian and as with Jennifer, i would not push myself sexually on my wife whilst dressed as she is not a lesbian ( would be nice if she was attracted to my femme side but she is not ) i love and respect her too much to push myself on her.

[Sarah Jayne]

En femme, I am more lesbian trapped in a man's body, but still fantasize about being made love to by a guy, I am not in the least bit attracted to guys and could not even discern a type if pushed to elaborate on it. I guess fantasy is to wish for what you know you can't have and that is where it stays.

[Petra1]

I will always be atrracted to women. I dress because I am attracted to women. Does that make sense?

[danielle40I]

I do very much prefer the term "Male Lesbian" to describe my sexual orientation.

[Loveday]

I'm totally attracted to women no matter how I dress. It is just the way I am and I accept it. I just wish I could keep a good female around that accepted me.

[sue1965]

I too am attracted to woman no matter how I am dressed.

[Marcia Blue]

I will put it this way. I am so attracted to women so much, I try to emulate them.
I have never been attracted to men, no matter how I dress.

[Sally1983]

Always have and always will be attracted to women only, no matter what I am wearing.

[DAVIDA]

OK, my turn.
I have never, and will never be attracted to a male.
It doesn't have anything to with what I have on, what a man has on, or what a woman has on!
I personally don't consider myself as two separate entities depending on the clothing that I happen to be wearing at the moment.
I am ME!:D

[Raychel]

It doesn't matter to me how I am dressed or how women are dressed, I am still very much attracted to women only.

More so if they are not dressed though.:devil:
Afterall I am still a guy. :battingeyelashes:

[Karen kc]

Make room in the boat for me, I am only attracted to women,femme or drab, I should say my wife. BUT I'm not knock'n it.

[steftoday]

You can add me to the list of male lesbians. It's women only for me, too.

[sherib]

I am in no way attacted to men weather I,m dress or not.

[AmandaBlack]

Nope, "guys" or men do nothing for me. I'm attracted to woman only. That being said, I do find a well dressed & made up CD attractive...I guess that would mean they're doing a great job of CDing!

I'm straight but there is that fantasy residing in me of dressing with another sexy, attractive CD and I'm not sure it would go any further than that or not. Either way, for me , I dress for me and keep it here at home.

[Patty]

I am in the same boat!! Only women no matter how I am dressed!!

[JamieG]

I don't believe that clothes can change one's sexuality, although presenting one way may allow people to loosen pre-existing inhibitions. I have never felt attracted to men, no matter how I was dressed. Just a few months ago, I went to a TG party at a bar, and for the first time in my life, a guy asked me to dance. I was shocked, and gave him a very gruff "No." In hindsight, I probably could have let him down a little nicer. I'm pretty sure if a GG had asked me, I would have been much more polite, maybe something like: "No thanks, I'm very flattered, but I'm happily married."

[Loni]

i love women, nothing more, as a man i would be called straight, as a woman i would be called a lesbian.

Hmmmm? I've always been a screaming heterosexual male with a strong (my perception) female side. I'm really not at all homosexual, BUT, I've had this unusual attraction to another CD who has openly proclaimed his homosexuality. Would we be pretendsbians?

[Princess Chantal]

Yes I am very attracted to women and completely transitioned women
and in-the-process of transitioning women
and crossdressing individuals (male or female)
and men
and completely transitioned men
and in-the-process of transitioning men

Okay I am attracted to people period.
However, I admire and love women clothing more.....

[Frédérique]

All those CDs that are physically attracted to women NO MATTER HOW THEY ARE DRESSED, please speak up.

I’ll tell you, I’ve been attracted to females for a long time, and I’ve been attracted to males as well, but I do not dress TO be attractive to them – this is purely a private show, for my own happiness, and, in any event, my “attracting” days are over. I’m happy to be as I am and not require outside approval to somehow complete my existence. BTW, clothes do not factor into the "attraction" I may feel for someone, male or female...

F or M, I’m attracted to certain qualities like gentleness, tenderness, shyness, quietude, and a shared wonder for the beauty of the world. These are not easily located amongst individuals I interact with, regardless of what gender I happen to be involved with. A lot of males turn me “off,” and a lot of females turn me off as well. My expression via crossdressing can be seen as a hoped-for balance between the genders, helping to infuse me with the human characteristics I’m attracted to. I really don’t gain anything by seeking to attract others, because as soon as I’m in another person’s company, I’m effectively halved. I would rather try to incorporate within myself, because I’m VERY much attracted to the “self” I either misplaced or distorted some years ago. Right now I’m feeling OK, attracted to beauty, no matter what form it may take, or whatever gender it may manifest itself in...
:battingeyelashes:

[Annaliese2010]

I'm totally and only attracted to women. I waaay prefer to be with a gg woman...like damn! But here's the thing. If im not with one and theres none on the immediate horizon...i can be attracted to another M2F transgendered girl...where transgendered is the key term however. By MY definition, this does not include a M2F crossdresser who is principally identified inner-male. Whats trans about that? Its not - its superficial and doesnt extend downward into the person. In fact a truly transgendered person simply IS...and the behavior extends outward from a preexisting feminine state within - the outward expression of which is Secondary to the fundamental feminine personality extant. So...regardless of the physical anatomical maleness of a truly transgendered M2F girl, because of her authentic feminine personality and character preexistant within, I consider her authentically feminine, and to be with someone like this, is to be with a woman. Since I, as a woman of that caliper am attracted to only women, be they GG or the type of M2F tg i've described...to be with either is to be with a woman and as such demonstrating lesbian behavior, true as 2 GG lesbians, imho.

[elizabeth_28]

I am attracted to women only and in particular my wife!

[annabellejorden]

I am attracted to the female form.

Never had any desire to be with a male.

I would love to find an SO who would be cool being physical while I was en-fem.

[VanessaVW]

Count me in the "attracted to females only" camp. Wearing the clothes is one thing and physical attraction is completely something else for me.

[Stacy L]

.

GGs only, no matter how I'm dressed, and I'm faithful to my lovely wife. :)

[5150 Girl]

I hate hate hate men!
I'm definatetly a lesbian trapped in the wrong body.

[Lucy_Bella]

I feel the same way 110 percent!! to each their own tho..

[faltenrock]

only attracted to females

[Teddie]

As Pythos said, "When enfem, I am a male dressed as a woman, that is attracted to women. Period, end. "

[erickka]

When I am all dressed up, I still drool over a beautiful GG, just like a teenager. I have no interest in males whatsoever, other than them being beer drinking buddies, etc.

[noeleena]

Hi,

Well it seems to me that most of you males are male in thought as regard to women. now the ? is why for some who dress as women say are interested in men , not many so far just very few. okay what changes, why the change or is this really saying you are gay tho dont wont to addmit that minere detail . if you are a hard out male then there would be no thoughts concerning (( other men )) at all . or is the fantisy a bit stronger or a try & see approch,

Oh yea my turn , in theory. i should like both , being intersex, nope just one woman = Jos, strange may be,

...noeleena...

[Miranda09]

Yes, I agree Pythos. I love women and am attracted to women and not men, no matter whether I'm dressed or not. Maybe one of the reasons I dress is I love the female form! :)

[kimdl93]

Having played on both teams, I can still say that I'm attracted to women, regardless of how I or they happen to be dressed.

[suesan]

en femme or guy mode its women, thats what im into, still very attracted to my wife

[Valerie1973]

Being dressed en femme can stir up a pink fog and many have posted they want to be with a man. It would only be part of the fetish as in a man would only serve as an accessory to the the femme. I have often desired being escorted by a gentleman while en femme. The chivalrousness of a man opening doors, buying flowers, (of course this is just me) and being treated like a lady, however, being sexual or physically with a man like just being held and kissed by a man might sound good in thought or on paper, but really, "me", personally would fold at the moment of truth. Although many here do and want to be with men. I am attracted to women in or out of femme. Everyone is different.

[retrofitme]

I'm a straight CDer as well.

[VtVicky]

Strictly straight here, regardles of garb.

But, let me make another slight distinciton that I haven't seen yet. When my Ex and I "made love" we were both generally naked. But, when we had sex just for the fun of it, it was often with both of us dressed. (Thankfully, she liked lingerie as much as I did. And, even more thankfully, looked a whole lot better in it than I ever will). Her point was that, regardles of what I was wearing, it was the man underneath that she was having sex with.

[VeronicaMoonlit]

Some of the threads are really implying the incorrect notion that a guy that wears women's clothing is doing it to attract men.

Which threads are those? I'm asking that, because frankly...your reading comprehension isn't up to snuff. You are very quick to misinterpret things. And actually some CD's DO do it to attract men.

The only threads I've seen lately on that issue are those which ask "Why does society believe that and what can we do to change it."

Veronica

[CaitlynRenee]

Morford might have a point here. I for one have never been with a guy, either straight OR enfemme. Nor have I ever had the desire to be with a guy as far as I can recall, and I DO have a good memory. However, I would be totally willing to be in an 'anything goes' situation with my SO when either drab or enfemme. If that can be considered to be a bisexual attitude, then so be it. As long as it's with my SO, then I'm game. We all have a bit of the feminine inside of us and to deny that presence is lying to ourselves.

How do I feel about GLBTQ individuals?? Having served with gays while in the Marine Corps and having been among them when serving with other services AND working with them in the civilian world, I know they bleed just as red and die just as dead as anyone else. Having a bisexual daughter on a full ride scholarship to Vanderbilt U. at the same time and having met a lot of her friends and fellow researchers, you can guess I'm pretty tolerant. Nonjudgemental if you will.

Both Frederique (#43) and Annaliese2010 (#44) have interesting takes on this subject as well.

Sooo, I have to say I'm a straight shooter, heterosexual CD, with a great capacity for fantasy. I love being a man in love with a woman, love being enfemme with a woman, can fantasize all day and night of being a woman being made love to by a woman playing the role of a man. I think that's called having fun and being inventive. A bit of 'kink' if you will????

[DeSkirt]

I am not attracted to men in any way shape or form no matter how I am dressed.

[Sharon B.]

Male lesbian here also.

[Meredy]

I love women. I love the female form, the way they move, and the way they act.
Men hold no appeal to me, never have.

[Kaz]

I love everything about women I guess. The more I travel this rocky road the more I want to be one of them. I must admit to increasing fantasies about being a woman on the receiving end of a male, but the truth is that I am not attracted to men at all. Weird or what!?

[Nikki A.]

Male lesbian here. I have guy friends and I do enjoy doing guy things too. But for a relationship, only with a woman.

[JasmineD]

Me too. I have no attraction to men. I dress for my self but when it comes to sexual attraction, only women. Isn't it the differnece between crossdressing male and transsexual MtF? [One is man feeling all the man but dressing in womens clothing and other a woman locked in male body dressing in womens clothing and like a GG woman attracted to men]

[Michaela42]

I would love to find a woman who is attracted to both of my 'sides'. Sadly, I do not believe that this woman exists; but I can dream can't I?

Oh, and to answer the original question, I am only attracted to females. I can admit that a guy is good looking, but as for sexual attraction . . . nope, sorry, not my thing.

[Morford]

Morford might have a point here. I for one have never been with a guy, either straight OR enfemme. Nor have I ever had the desire to be with a guy as far as I can recall, and I DO have a good memory.

A couple of caveats, though, at least for me. I have a very good friend who is pre-op MTF that I'm rather attracted to. However, I've always known her as a girl and I interact with her as such, so I don't consider her a "man" for the purposes of this discussion. (Yes, she knows about me, and while I think dating may be a possibility at some point, the story of our relationship is a rather long and complicated one. A story for another time, and probably a non-public forum.)

Secondly, I see a difference between recognizing that a man looks good and being attracted to him. I can look at an athlete or actor and say "Dang, that's a good-looking guy," but I don't find myself sexually interested at all.

[MaidInCan]

When I am dressed up and think of women (no SO to worry about at home, yet), I seem more turned on. I think it is because I feel sexier. But this is not the reason I CD although it is a big bonus. Like the other comments, just the thought of comparing to another for femininity has a real charm. Occasionally I feel an attraction to men if I am deep into feeling like a woman.

[Pythos]

Veronica, Look at the threads a bit better. There are a myriad that deal with the topic. Nobody else seemed to have any issues with what I said, so the coment on my reading comprehension was entirely un needed and unaprediated.

Here is one of the threads to which I refer to http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?156129-Why-do-some-MTF-crossdressers-claim-to-be-attracted-to-males-only-when-enfemme
