It?s becoming an obsession

[Casey41]

I?m just wondering about how it all goes. Every day. Like almost all day long or dozens of times I want to be dressed. Or I look at women and see their outfits and am jealous that they have such beautiful bodies and wish I could wear their outfits.

I wish that my body was more feminine. Sometimes I wish I had real boobs and was able to walk through a mall and go to lingerie stores and try on all the bras and clothes.

I can?t stop thinking about it!!! I want to wear all the clothes that are in my closet. Would I wear them outside? Only if I felt complete and feminine as I don?t want to be half way and feel like a man in a dress.

I have been considering wearing shapewear and corsets. It?s very exciting and arousing and stressful.

Wow

Yep, 1000%, for many of us! Welcome to the pink fog, it comes and goes but I don't think it ever really goes away. As to your wish about getting it and shopping, go for it!

You are not alone - go at your own pace (you know when and where you can dress)

Not a obsession,

just another day for me.

Maybe not "... all the clothes that are in my closet." but definitely something in my closet.

Welcome to the pink fog, it comes and goes but I don't think it ever really goes away.
I think it is an obsession of sorts, but one you can embrace and enjoy. Try to achieve balance within the rest of your life, and reach out to others as you have here - it's a wonderful community.

Stores like Victoria's Secret can be very accommodating to men. Did you know that VS was originally founded with the idea of selling lingerie to men who wanted to buy something for their significant others?

Certainly, this can become an obsession. Its probably a good time to step back and ask yourself if other aspects of your life are suffering as a consequence.

These corsets will really get you obsessed. Just measure around your waist line at the belly button, subtract about 4 inches from that number to get the approximate corset size. These things are quite comfortable in the romantic curve. Add forms and hip pads and you are all set. The more aggressive curve can hurt you so you do not want to overdo it. 4 inches is a decent reduction.

Ooooh, so this is the pink fog you're talking about! Yeah, I live in it.

I guess it's not as strong as yours, Casey, but I fully understand. I wish I could wear my clothes (and SHOES! I love my shoes!) to work too and look feminine, especially in this hot weather. I look at other women's outfits and tell myself "I wish I could wear these". But surprisingly sometimes I see outfit I could wear.

But the idea of corset never hit me. I definitely have to look into them.

I don't want to transition, but having real boobs "on command" sounds appealing. That's how I realised I wanna be shapeshifter.

[NancySue]

I?m of the complete belief it is a compulsive behavior pattern, addiction and obsession. What else could it be? Over the years, everything I?ve read addresses these factors. I also think it?s genetic. I certainly wasn?t raised that way. It arrived early and has never left. As mentioned, it ebbs and flows. Yes, any times it hits with high intensity. Over the years, I don?t think there is anything I haven?t worn. Since retirement, I?ve pretty much settled in to my favorites, which includes shapewear.

25+ years ago I was just like u, Casey! But, after a year of dressing I couldn't bear seeing a MIAD in my mirror anymore!:doh:

So, I did what I had to to see a gorgeous babe there!:daydreaming:

If u want to look good, or even stunning? At 80 years old I'm proof that if u want to badly enuff? U CAN!:devil:

My philosophy is that anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Throughout my life I have drifted from one obsession to another. I?ll become immersed in something to the exclusion of everything else. Then I?ll forget about it and start obsessing over something else. I think about crossdressing all the time, like you. I?d gladly wear a dress and present as a woman all day every day, but I can?t. I have no male underwear. I crossdress every day for at least part of the day.

Is crossdressing one of my obsessions? NO! Absolutely not! I?ve been crossdressing for many years, and it never gets old. The desire is stronger some days, but it never fades. I crossdress and present as a woman because this is how I?m supposed to look. The man I sometimes see in the mirror is a stranger. Wanting to look normal is not an obsession. It?s the most normal and natural thing in the world.

Rest easy. You?re acting completely normal. Normal for you.

I've been Dressing for almost 20 years, and I do think about it every day, but it's not overwhelming I consider it more a refreshing break from the day-to-day stress of life.

[Casey41]

So many great comments. It?s definitely the pink Fog. I love the pink Fog. It?s so much more enjoyable than my uniform and my jeans. But like Kim suggested. Maybe some reflection is necessary.

[SylphDevine]

I make it a point to dress every day. Otherwise I think about it endlessly until I do dress.

If that's obsessed, count me in. Crossdressing is one of my favorite pleasures. Couldn't live without it.

[Heather76]

It is also an obsession for me. Fortunately, I can dress at home as much as I wish. We were out with friends until 11 pm last night. When we got home, Heather emerged in her nightie, bra, forms, nylons, jewelry, lipstick, and wig. It's 4 pm right now and I was in drab for about 2 hours earlier today. I will be dressed until about 8 am tomorrow morning unless I go drab to do about an hour of yard work later this afternoon (if the rain holds off). Naturally, I hope the rain happens. Anyway, I know it is an obsession so I go with it if I'm able.

Casey, I want to go through the mall and try on all the dresses. Nothing wrong with thinking about that.
