Feel so fortunate

[Traceyjo]

Hi everyone, this is my first contribution for some time but i was inspired by a lovely dressing session earlier today.
I consider that discovering the joy of crossdressing over 30 years ago has been a wonderful gift that has added so much to my life. For me there has been no downside. My wife accepts that is an important part of who I am and we are comfortable in a DADT situation. I get to dress these days about once a week on average and the pleasure and fulfillment I experience has never diminished. I have a very good life in every respect but nothing brings me as much immense joy as being fully transformed into my female persona. It is such a bonus to have discovered this source of pleasure that is unknown to the vast majority of the population. I do not take any drugs but I'm sure the euphoria I feel is similar to that induced by mind altering drugs but of course without the harmful effects. Being dressed as an attractive woman obviously causes release of brain chemicals such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine which create the ecstatic experience. They cause the addictive nature of dressing but not in the uncontrollable way attributed to drugs. I never miss an opportunity to enjoy my femininity but live comfortably in between times.
I am extremely grateful that I have an outlet that makes my life so much better and I'm sure so many of you feel the same way. Aren't we incredibly lucky

love to all
Tracey

Hi Tracey, agree it is an absolute joy to dress.Even better if your wife is supportive. Unless my wife and daughters are out of town I never have the opportunity these days so I never take it for granted.

Tracey, I could not agree more. The feeling from dressing is euphoric.

You nailed Traceyjo, Crossdressing is an incredibly uplifting, relaxing experience I too do not use drugs and rarely drink alcohol thank goodness wearing womens clothing is my drug of choice.

Hi Tracey,

I like how you say that you?re grateful for it. I have had a lot of pain over the years about these feelings. Feeling grateful is a really positive take.

Thank you!
Isa

Addictive for sure!
It can be very compulsive as it was for me when I first started in my 50's. Still married with kids at the time I dressed in my car, at the office, on out of town trips in my hotel room, and even got up in the middle of the nite while they were all sleeping!:doh:

I don't ever drink when I'm in the process of dressing because I make too many mistakes in the often detailed and complicated process.:straightface:

Always enjoy drinks at the club or bar with our T friends to celebrate what we do, tho!:hugs:

I too consider crossdressing a gift, one that I am very thankful for Tracey.

I couldn’t agree more.

Crossdressing is one of the coolest things ever. I’m so privileged to be a crossdresser.

[NancySue]

Absolutely. It?s been a part of my life since youth. Now retired, I dress, to some degree daily and love it. It starts every day with a positive, pleasurable feeling. The comfort and pleasure are always present. My wonderful, supportive wife is a blessing. She teases me of how can an underwire bra or hose be comfortable. I just smile.

Hi Tracey,
thank you for your exciting post. My feelings about crossdressing is exactly the same. However, I don't like the term itself. It may suggest we do something wrong or inappropriate. Either I am a woman deep inside and I do what I do or I have found the pleasure of being and feeling a woman and pretend to be one. What is wrong about that? I fully appreciate femininity in me and the world around.
