I was just reading the ask a GG thread, and was struck by the conversation surrounding feeling feminine. Tinkerbell said something about how a woman who was trapped on a desert island still would not feel the euphoric feeling by getting dressed up. While I agree with that thought, I think something else is happening that the deserted island woman analogy is misplaced.
From my own personal experience, the euphoria that I once felt, I think came about by me finally allowing myself to experience something that I had admired from afar. So with the deserted island woman, she isn't staring at something each and every day that she wants but can't have. But with the cross dresser they are. They see what they want, for whatever reason, but then are told, or they themselves know, they can not or should not have it. Day after day this goes on, constantly staring at something they can't have and then one day they do it. It can feel a bit freeing, or euphoric to finally access it.
I suppose if we were to look at the deserted island analogy, it would be comparable to the woman finally getting rescued. I think after longing after rescue after day upon day of dreaming of it, she would probably feel a bit euphoric.
Thus it was for me, that when I finally allowed myself to dress, it felt euphoric. Now that I have been doing it for as long as I have, that feeling is long gone, but it has been replaced with other feelings, like contentment, happiness, understanding, etc.
Just my 2 cents on these thoughts.
Have a happy day people. Oh and thanks Tinkerbell, you always make me think. :)
