Craving this more and more.

[KymG]

Recently the urge to dress has become far stronger than it was before. I think about it a lot.
I feel like stress rises up inside almost like panic but not the same, and that eases after ive dressed.
I dont get much female company and strangly i think that makes the whole thing worse.
It scares me that im more dependant on it than i was before.
The feeling was never this intense.

Does anyone else feel similiar?

I have a similar feeling lately. I?m here if you need anything darling

[Suzie Petersen]

I think that is quite common with a lot of us, Kym.
I have described the feeling to my wife as exactly that, a feeling of panic or anxiety almost.
I also told my wife that I sometimes in the past on a business trip will bring some clothing, even if I have no intention of actually dressing. I told her it is to make sure I have the option, if that stress/panic feeling pops up. On trips where I did not bring anything, I have at times ended up browsing stores to just find something, and that seems totally irrational to me .. except when in the situation.

If u mean you're worried dressing more may isolate u even more from dating women? I think that's a realistic result from my experience.:straightface:

So many women, many of them 1/2 my age or less, will chat or even hang with me/us at bars and clubs, etc. But, if I wanted to date one of them I'm outta luck.:sad:

Yeah, I get stressed out when I can’t dress for an extended period of time. Like 4 or 5 hours.

With absolute certainty, my girl urges cost my first marriage. Oh yes it seemed like many other things at the time. But years of hiding out sneaking around. Not being able to be my girl except in fleeting moments for time to time. She was unrelenting. All because a partner in marriage was so absolutely closed minded and totally unapproachable in the slightest sense. So all along I knew it would lead to my separation if I dressed or didn?t dress. It was that strong and untenable the way things were. Many years later new wife of over 20 years that totally understands, not threatened and actually appreciates and acceptes my more feminine side. Haven?t been in full men?s clothes for years.
Hugs Rochal

The crave is intense for me it increases as I age. I often wonder how to manage my desire to dress in womens clothing it can be very stressful until I get dolled up it seems to relax me for the time being.

[KymG]

Yes, thats exactly it.

Thanks for the replys

I ment that not having much female company, relationship wise, seems to makes me dress more.
Im not sure, but i think if i was in a relationship i would dress up less?

Who knows.

Hi Kym,
I think we all get these urges, and I agree that not having any female company does seem to intensify the urge, it's like we're trying to replace the lack of feminity in our lives ourselves, by, becoming the female company we desire, it doesn't appear to be as strong when I have female company in my life. It's like when I see a woman in a cute outfit, I'll find myself thinking what it would feel like to be her, or how that outfit would look on me, while simultaneously being attracted to her.
When you get the urge, are you in a position to dress up freely or does anyone know you dress.

It seems the urge increases when under more stress, and dressing does have that calming effect.
