crossing is sexual for me

[suzzi]

I been wearing female underwear and anything I could get a hold of since I was 5, it's so sexual I love being dressed

[Alice_2014_B]

Wearing women's underwear does nothing for me; only underwear I wear is a bra when I'm fully dressed up, but it does nothing sexual for me.
Wearing high heels with anything else is very exciting for me.
Being fully dressed up is just overall exciting, like beyond sexual.

[Micki_Finn]

In my younger days trying on women's underwear provided a certain sexual thrill. As I've come to appreciate my gender identity that aspect has disappeared for me.

[Lana Mae]

Dressing is it's own high!! When younger sexual!! Now well well above that mental, physical, almost spiritual high!! Much more than sexual!! IMHO Hugs Lana Mae

[Panties4me]

Suzzi, like you women's underwear/lingerie is a big turn on for me, even after 50 plus years. I don't/can't dress fully but am underdressed 24/7. I don't necessarily indulge in sexual activities every time I am underdressed but every time I do indulge in sexual activity I am underdressed. I don't miss not being able to fully dress and consider my self to be CD only.
Cheers from Australia.

In my very early days of dressing I did get a certain thrill from wearing female underwear, I even had a special liking for swimming costumes (?). As time passed that lessened considerably and now a bra or pants is just another item of clothing.

They refer to those of us here that get turned on by dressing as "fetish dressers". :heehee:

Many here feel that's like being in middle school. And, they've graduated and moved onward-----:brolleyes:

[Pat]

Well, some feel like they've graduated. And some get a little uppity about it, so I understand that people for whom the answer is still crossdressing get a little put off by being told they're not where they ought to be. I went through a progression that included sexual crossdressing. But it wasn't a complete answer for me and had to keep searching. I think there are a number of folks here who have found it wasn't a complete answer for them so they view people for whom sexual crossdressing is an answer in Sherry's middle school model. Their thought is that everyone must be like they themselves are and so if you're in a state they passed through you're "behind" them. It's not fair, but it's very human. Enjoy the state you're in. Be open to the idea that you might change. ;)

[Tracii G]

Its ok if its sexual for you it is for many people.

[redtea]

it's highly sexual for me, I'm currently wearing 6 articles of clothing and feel so erotic.

it's like feeling every part of your body at once, sensory overload.

[docrobbysherry]

Well said, Jennie! It wasn't sexual for me when I 1st began 20 years ago. After a time it became sexual. Then, very sexual.:o

However, I began going out with other dressers about 8 years ago. As u explained, I never seem to have an arousing thot while I prep to go out or the entire time I'm out with others or alone.:straightface:

It's only the times I dress in private that I often still get those excited and stimulated feelings!:D

[ellbee]

I suppose one could make the physiological argument, but I'm not so sure how much it was for me when I started at 6 years old.

But at 13? Oh, yeah! :o


Over the years since, that has gradually waned. Obviously that was a facet of it, but not the main one.

And when you're going out in public all dolled-up? Probably best to leave that part at home, and maybe save it for later. ;)


These days? If anything, my overall sex drive has surprisingly *decreased* from it. Rather nice, actually -- as strange as that might sound to some.

[Ressie]

Many here feel that's like being in middle school. And, they've graduated

So if I under dress would I be an undergraduate? :heehee:

[Krisi]

I suspect many of us had that feeling when we were younger. I, for one, have pretty much outgrown that feeling. Panties, to me, are just "underwear". A bra is to hold my breast forms in place. The rest is just clothes.

I dress and play a role, much like I would in a play. That role is that of the daughter my mother never had or the sister I never had. Why? I don't know.

[brenda girl]

I dress up just to get sexual

[AlyssaJ]

For me it was and still is exciting. However, what I figured out is that for me it wasn't the clothes themselves that was exciting. I was getting turned on by the fact that I was getting dressed up to look sexy. I felt sexy wearing those clothes which adds to the excitement. There's so much "fetish crossdressing" on the internet that I think early on that was just the default connection I made in my mind. In the end it did feel amazing wearing those clothes but like docrobbysherry, I've only been sexually excited while dressed alone. Once I'm out in public its not a sexual thing anymore but a very liberating expression of part of my identity. So much more enjoyable (and lasts longer too).

[Maryesther M.]

The whole subject of crossdressing I still find sexually arousing, which is why I still do it. Now there's an admission!

[Kiwi Primrose]

There was a time in my life when almost anything I did could be sexual.
In more recent years the sexual aspect of life has dropped away somewhat but for over 70 years my interest in CDing never wavered.
Sexual feelings didn't cause me to CD; and CDing did not affect my sexual activities or attitude.

[Maria 60]

For myself it still has its sexual moments, when fully dressed its more of a relax and just enjoy the hole complete of it. Don't get me wrong I can never get bored of the feeling of slipping pantyhose on and the feel of a slip. But now it's like when I try something new it feels more sexual. With age things change.

[Vicky Peters]

From the very start to present day it has been sexual for me. The pleasure of adding clothing and now makeup and wig to become a fictional character is just great.

[steph_2015]

At my younger age I was but not anymore I dress to be the lady I would love to be
I do have one sexual outfit that comes out every blue moon But that store get me In trouble lol

[Robyn2006]

When a teen, everything was sexual and dressing-up gave me a great deal of... well, you know, satisfaction. But now, like so many here, it's all about allowing myself to be who I wish to be. These days the only thing sexual about it is when dreaming/fantasizing to have a relationship with a man as my femme self. And those fantasies do run wild!

[Teresa]

Suzzi,
CDing started with a sexual bang for me, it tied all the threads together in my brain, maybe it's when my GD started but I must have already been bi-gender for the sequence of events to happen, my T levels are still high so dressing still remains partly sexual. I don't feel ashamed to admit that, and I do think it's wrong to label it as something you grow out of, if it's locked in your brain there's nothing you can do about it and perhaps shouldn't be treated as a bad habit, as some of the replies appear to suggest.

[TrishaTX]

There are many places across the spectrum, which many feel it is important to identify to. I feel we all have a bit of allot..(I know written poorly). I do not worry where I am on the spectrum because it changes slightly over time, I just enjoy the fact that I am more comfortable today then ever with myself.
Admission .....yes it all is still turn on for me and I love it...at 50 years old

[Lacey New]

Still an under grad - while I can underdress for hours - sometimes days, dressing in lingerie in particular has a strong sexual component . It is even better on those rare occasions when I get to go shopping and go home and put on a dress or skirt and blouse or whatever is my new purchase.

[CONSUELO]

It's OK to feel sexually aroused while dressed. For me, once I was introduced to the feel and look of lingerie at the age of about 5, dressing up became an integral part of my sexual exploration and development. It is still there but now there is another component that has more to do with how I feel about myself and the joy and comfort of presenting as a female. I enjoy beautiful feminine clothing and lovely jewelry etc.

Please, never fell guilty about this aspect. It is normal and natural and we don't need to take on a guilt that is imposed by society and especially by religion. Sexual arousal is a completely normal thing for humans and all animals. How it is triggered does't matter.

[SamanthaDarling120]

Dressing is very sexual for me. More so when I think about dressing and during the first hour I am dressed. My heart literally pounds out of my chest as I'm putting on panties, bra, jeans,etc.. But as I sit there for a while and just go about my business the thrill dies down and I am just comfortable. That complete feeling people describe. I do dress for sexual reasons sometimes but other times I just want to feel and look like a woman for a while and "play the part". I have been crossdressing since I was a teenager and I am 29 now. Back then it was solely for the sexual thrill and I was disgusted with myself and felt very ashamed. Especially afterwards. But the older I get, the less shame and guilt I feel about dressing in general although I would feel that way if I got caught. So am I a fetish crossdresser? Yes. Am I a person who also just likes to wear female clothing and gets general satisfaction out of it? Yes. I just love everything about it. I just can't wait to have my own place so I can live like a female at home and a man in the world. That's what I want. It's not 100% because of sexual reasons. I'd say it's about 35-40% sexual and the rest wanting to be female. I look at it as I have the best of both worlds. I'm happy where I am. If i'm an "undergraduate" or in " middle school" I hope I never pass the next grade :)

[njcddresser]

For me it certainly started out as being very sexual.

Now it is less so but every bit as exhilirating. Every day, when I open my panty draw, gaze in and make my selection for the day, a wave of excitement comes over me. I don't think that will ever diminish.

[Amanda Katharine]

For me there's a huge sexual component to it as well but it evolved over time. Originally, I would dress when aroused, then release and be ready to fall back to male mode immediately. Now, while still a sexual thrill which my GF enjoys immensely, I tend to keep the clothes on much longer before and then after, typically put on hose and a nightie. I've since started wearing panties almost full time and if(can't believe I'm saying this for Michigan but it's still bloody hot here) winter ever gets here, I'm gonna perhaps try wearing a bra under my coat if I go out as well as shave my chest, legs, back and pubes.

The older you get any age after 30 you lose 1% of your testosterone a year.
It effects desires,libbido, aggressiveness ,intiative and motivation.
If a 100 year old is give testosorone replacement and you put his levels a an avearage 19 year olds levels if the wind blow they will get excited let alone put on heels a dress ,wig and makeup.
High T levels will make you get turned on and excited by think about anything you like.


Most fetishes i see are over the top but not like a drag Queen.
Everyone has a little fetish for something's but whether its over the top are not is another thing.

Look in centurion magazine and you will see actual fetish.
There is even a fetish magazine. If cross dressing is destroying your life it could be considered a fetish by definition.

[JamieTG]

Definitely a sexual turn on for me. I consider my crossdressing more on fetish side.

[Periwinkle]

It isn't sexual for me at all. In fact, it's quite the opposite. And I'm only 19. But I'm also incredibly gay with low levels of testosterone, so that might have something to do with it. XD

[wendy]

Aaaaah, I remember my younger years CDing, it was 95% sexual and 5% CDing. Now that I'm older, it has reversed, I simply enjoy my time being Wendy.
