Ever Been Caught Browsing

[Suzy Parker]

Have you ever been caught browsing CD sites by people who do not know that you are a crossdresser? When the full site is up Crossdressers.com is always proudly displayed at the top of the page. I had my daughter walk in the room suddenly once, a quick alt tab and luckily the other page was Google or MSN and she did not see the logo. I have started clicking on the mobile site even when at home on a PC. That way it is like incognito mode as the logo's are removed to keep those over the shoulder nosy people from seeing it.

[Tracii G]

No because I'm not ashamed to be here.

[StacyCD]

My SO knows about the site. I almost wonder if she has looked up my posts.

[Judy-Somthing]

My daughter walked in behind me unexpectedly on day, I had a photo of me on the screen. I hit quit and a message popped up asking if I wanted to quick.
She said "Oh dad" and left the room, I think she just thought it was a picture of a woman and didn't look to close.
Another time I had to much wine and the next day when I came down stairs to my computer it was still on and on this site.

[Dana44]

Actually no. I show my SO my posts and ask her opinion on photos and such that are posted to get a result. I try to give a favorable response and sometimes ask what she thinks. So, naw, no problem hiding it here.

Hi Suzy :hugs:, My:love:Wife knows about this site but don't want to see it(DA/DT) and there is no one else here,
Every time that I logoff I always clear all of the sites that I've visited...:daydreaming:...

[Hell on Heels]

Hell-o Suzy,
WAIT A MINUET JUDY!
Too much wine? Is that a thing???

No I've never been caught browsing.
My SO knows about the site, and has read
along over my shoulder.
I have always been pretty careful with my phone
while browsing at work. If someone is walking near,
or behind me the phone is either turned off, or put away.
Although knowing me and my phone's history of outing me,
it probably just a matter of time.
Much Love,
Kristyn

No, I'm usually alone all the time

[grace7777]

No because I'm not ashamed to be here.

I totally agree.

[Robin414]

No but my phone shows incoming messages from "crossdressers.com" even when it's locked, I try to leave it face down but I do sometimes forget, I'm sure I'm sooo out 😂

[Suzy Parker]

No because I'm not ashamed to be here.

I am not ashamed, just buried deep in the closet. I guess my question should have been "Have you ever been caught browsing CD sites by people who do not know that you are a crossdresser?"

The nice thing about the mobile site is that is does not show that very eye catching logo at the top so looky Lou's will not catch on so easily.

[Tracii G]

I have read so many threads about people that are in the closet no matter how deep actually doesn't matter.
Ones that hide things from their SO's and family,go to great lengths to hide their dressing.
I have to think what is the overriding factor of this?
Its fear and shame is it not?
Worrying about showing pics on here for some is fueled by fear of being found out and the shame that follows.
Worrying about having a family member see this website on a screen be it phone.tablet or PC again fear and the shame that follows when you try to explain.
The shear terror some have of being found out is rooted in shame is it not?
A simple way to put it but many here live in fear of shame.

I have two monitors, and when I browse the site I always have it on the monitor that is most away from the door. I also take off one earphone to hear anyone walk in or knock.
Funny story, I did mean to make a thread about it but I never did. I was showing my brother my new monitor, and its a very, very wide monitor so certain things look very different on it. Anywhooo, he wanted to go to CNN, so he started typing "C". First thing that pops up is an auto fill for "Crossdressers.com".
He looked at me and said "Cross...dressers...dot com?"
All I said was, "I don't know, google auto fills some random sh*t for me sometimes."
No idea if he thought anything of it, but a funny story. He still acts the same around me as he always does, and that was about 4 months ago.

[Hell on Heels]

Hell-o AprilMayy,
The creators of autofill can just SUCK it!
BTW... How would SUCK equate to SUV?????

Looks like your brother just got another clue.
Eventually... 1+1= a lot more questions!
Much Love,
Kristyn

Try this. It works for me:

[Hell on Heels]

Hell-o ReineD,
Thanks for the tip to block the logo.
But are some of you actually seeing adds while visiting this site?
I've often wondered how this site keeps running, who's payin' the bills?
Sorry, but I've never seen 1 single, annoying add (knock on wood).
Much Love,
Kristyn

You can set ad blockers to block specific image URLs, they don't just block ads. The url for the logo is: http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/images/logo_cd.gif

I'm not aware of any ads on this site, other than the links at the bottom of each page.

[Lily Catherine]

Not only this very site.

For this site, it shows up not only on C, but on quite a few other letters as well. Thank God I outed myself to my friends - one borrowed my phone on holiday as I was the only one with a working data SIM.

My mobile gaming account was in Lily's name so my scores and lap times were associated with that name as well.

[Mollyanne]

I wouldn't use the word "caught" as this intimates doing something wrong. As for me I have been observed surfing this site and others by my wife. She knows of my X'dressing and is NOT happy about it but she doesn't say anything and I don't flaunt it. I am who I am.

Live alone so...,but if anyone does look over my shoulder they can plainly see the Crossdressers.com at the top as the first logo on my favorites bar, but they probably know about me anyway because they're in my house.

[cdlove]

I live alone so the fear of being caught while at home on this site is noth something that pretains to me. When I am out usually at my local coffee house I am the most inspired to think about my CD and my mind fills with questions and what not thus I get on here. That is where I some what worry about being caught but to be honest even there its not that big of a deal. People are nosy and project their own assumptions on what and why people do things, when they have not understanding of the individual. In reality I could be a therapist talking to my clients or doing reserach on the subject rather then a member of the community. So I am not ashamed or really worried about people seeing me on this site. If I was worried I would have never decieded to join in the first place.

[Sissy_Michelle]

Suzy,

Yes I have been caught but not at work thank God. My wife's friends went in to use my computer to look something up that they were working on. I was reading this forum and had a couple of other sites open as well. When I came out of the bathroom, and returned to the "computer" room... There was my wife and her friends reading some of the posts and looking at the other pages. When I walked in my wife explained that she does read the posts here from time to time, and then asked me to explain why I visit the sites that were open. So basically I came out to them. At first I was embarrassed, but they turned out to be more comforting and helpful than I thought. We ask still friends, and sometimes they will ask me questions on what I think of their outfit or what they are trying on in the store. They have told me that they enjoy the feed back because I see both sides. "Not only do you see us as a woman but also as a man"...

All in all a good thing.

I came out to my wife a long time ago, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she walked in on me. She knows about this site and my other favorites; in fact I constantly encourage her to visit and learn more about us. But I don't think she has ever done so. Once I asked her to read "My Husband Wears My Clothes", and I tucked a $100 bill near the end. After a year, I realized she hadn't read it and took the money back.

But still, I don't visit CD sites in front of her. And certainly never at work.

[leannejacobs]

I've been caught browsing at pictures of myself dressed, by a female colleague of all people, she appeared out of nowhere and as I clicked to close the picture the previous one appeared, click again, next picture, in all I must have had to close a dozen individual pics, very embarrassing, she didn't say anything but I spoke to her later and gave her a feeble excuse about themed come dine with me nights with friends, she just said "it's none of my business what you get up to" and smiled, she knew and fortunately never outed me.

[summerbunny]

I was in a public restaurant.

Two guys and a girl where bored and looked over there shoulders to see me looking at CD/TS websites.
The one guy got his cellphone out to record it and post it on this popular website that outed many stealth TS and men dating them.
Worldstar hiphop

I was like whatever cause if he are them ever really see me there in some trouble and will not be worrying about what i look at on the internet

[Stephanie47]

I'm in a DADT marriage. I don't know if my wife knows of this site. It would not bother me if she did know I was a participant. If I am on this site and she is home and may walk into the study, then I have another tab open. Right now the tab says "Ever Been Caught Browsing." I just slick to another open tab. I also make sure I totally log off after my session to erase all the vestiges of my browsing. Even if I log off this site or any other those ads in the email right side bar keeps asking if I want to buy that lovely dress from JCPenny or Kohl's, etc.

There are worse sites to have another user come after you log off when you failed to clear your history.

[Tina_gm]

Stephanie, I am finding that the adds I get now are the same, all girl stuff. I go onto pinterest and if you didn't know who's account it was, you would not guess a male one that's for sure lol.

[Robin777]

I browse this site on my laptop all the time with the wife around. She doesn't care, as I came out to her before we were married. I can't browse this site at work as it's blocked along with all mail sites and even netflix because it is a streaming video site. Lucky they haven't blocked facebook. I can get this site on my phone,but I don't usually surf much with it.

[Laura.Taylor]

A female coworker of mine had an Ulta catalog on her desk. While talking with her I casually started browsing through it before I caught myself. Oops! She noticed but didn't say anything about it.

[Beverley Sims]

I use adblocker, a wonderful program to hide the banners.

I mentioned it earlier tonight a I have curious people looking over my shoulder when riding AMTRAK.

[PrivateXDresser]

Good tip! Thank you!!!

Me either. I hope our privacy is secure!

[marlacd]

Since I stay at home browsing this site, then I have few worries about being outed. I keep pondering if it's worth obtaining a girlfriend, then dropping the cd bomb on her. I'm split on that at the moment.
