why is it...

[DeeMNCD]

That i feel the most relaxed, calm, and comfortable in panties, tights (tights not pantyhose), a bra and a dress?

it just feels so natural and right in some way...

[Mafalda]

Is this just because we are crossdressers, or maybe are we crossdressers because of this? I'll never know... :)

[Elizabeth G]

I think if I could truly answer that question I would be a very wealthy therapist :lol:

[Roxanne Lanyon]

The feeling is so real . . .! I think it is part of why I like to wear things with hems, and elastic! I simply love it!

Because, like many of us, it's the one time that the outside completely matches the inside.

[Gillian Gigs]

For many dressing is an opportunity to step out of a world full of stress, problems, and frustrations, into a world of being some one else for a period of time. The clothes help to fulfill the separation between these two worlds. There is also a different type of feel to the clothes which causes a different comfort feeling to prevail. Who really knows what goes between our ears on why we like anything!

Mafalda,
You nailed it, we are crossdressers because of it. There is a girl inside.

[Mickitv]

Because we are the girls that we want to be and it feels so good.

It's relaxing to escape your norms.

It's just like taking a holiday to somewhere nice. You go to escape your regular mundane life.

In this case, it's escaping your mundane clothes.

I like what stephanie said. "the outside completely matches the inside. " Funny I constantly walk around comparing my inside to others outside....

I haven't had enough experience to answer that question yet.

So, I dunno'. :-)

Hell-o Dee,
As a crossdresser I find that when I’m not dressed en-femme CDing is often on my mind. If I’m not busy doing something that requires my full attention, in some way I’ll drift into thinking about something related to CDing. I’m no thearapist, and I’m just guessing here, but those continual thoughts of CDing build up, the desire to dress gets stronger, and some level of
stress comes from not having acted on those thoughts and desires.
It’s when I finally get the chance to act on that desire that those thoughts and desires are eliminated. I no longer have all that going on inside, allowing for a more calm stress free way of being.

Think-stress-dress-relax-repeat...it’s s vicious cycle!
Much Love,
Kristyn

[Leonora]

It one of those mysteries I can speak for the panties they are just comfortable and made for comfort.

[Carolina]

I agree with most answers. Like Kristyn I finally feel at peace with myself and the world, and can put to rest the stress of non-stop thinking about it. Love it, love presenting the girl inside :battingeyelashes:

[suzanne]

To quote Jazz Jennings, we have boy bodies and girl brains. And when we acknowledge that inner girl she really appreciates the affirmation after all those years of neglect, denial an suppression.

[JayeDee]

My complicated (chemical) opinion: We get a rush of “feel good” chemicals (endorphins), when we recognize and satisfy the increased feminine hormone (estrogen) that we gurls have. Other guys do not have this level of estrogen (or they are suppressing it). So, it comes down to our chemical make-up. Enjoy the rush. Jade

[docrobbysherry]

No idea, Dee. But then, I'm just a crossdresser. For me, those things r stimulating, distracting, and usually exciting!:D

When I want comfort, I put on drabs!:heehee:
