To stay c/d ?

I wondered how many of you actualy are "reluctant" to go back to "male mode" when your dressed ?? :rolleyes: when you have "dressed" and been like it for awhile, do you dread the thought of having to change back to your "male" self +? OR is it just something you do & dont worry about ' the time ??
perhaps you wish you could remain "dressed" for alot longer than you do, but know your time is restricted to how/when you can dress, and that annoys you ?

i would have to say yes . i really enjoy my time after all i dress for fun and pleasure . my life doesn't allow me much time so each time i can i want to get the most out of it .:2c:

I do feel a reluctance "to go back to male mode". I find that I generally dress in the evening when the days chores are done, unexpected visitors are not likely, and I am a bit tired. This I do because my wife, though supportive is uncomfortable with my being en femme. It is a lot of work to make the change, and it seems that the time passes too quickly, and I must return to my other self. I'd love to spend a few days dressed, but that is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Hi Angie! Gee, that's a good question. I know and accept the responsibilities I have in my life that require me to be my male self. I get a respectable amount of time to cd, and really can't complain, but it is a bit sad when it's time to change. I know I could easily stay dressed for days, or even longer, if circumstances allowed it. But, the chances of that are quite slim. I wouldn't say it annoys me, I've come to terms with the balance I need to keep. Still, can't help but fantasize about what it may be like to dress as Suzie all the time...:heehee:

I would like to stay in femme mode longer---am always reluctant to change back

Yes, I find it annoying to change back. Always a bit of a letdown.

Usta be Angie but now I have a different outlook. I was being Sal too much and was getting off balance. Now, I've turned it around and really look forward to becoming Rich again. They are both a big part of me and I would be denying who I am otherwise. That's just me though and you know I'm an odd "duck" anyway as far as being a CD goes.:happy:

I feel sad and disappointed when I need to change back. I seem to wait until the very last minute and then rush to change for fear of being late to where I need to be and just wishing I could go as I am, one day maybe!

I hate to go back to drab. In a nutshell, I am just more at ease in a skirt and heels. As I have mentioned in other threads, my wife is dead set against my cd -ing, so I have little time to be dressed and comfortable, thus I just savor "the moment".

I'd love more time but I also don't get upset when I have to change back.... It's my life, or my style of crossdressing.... Hit and Run....Just In Time... hehe And I also enjoy my male time as much as I do my female time..... Wierd huh??

I'm always somewhat reluctant to change out of my fem clothes.

It's to the point with me now that when I have to be Charlie, I feel like that's when I'm CDing! Just a carry over from when I thought I had to be and present as a man, so I now play the part of Charlie at work. Not hard, done it all my life, but now fun and without the pressure I felt before to be "one of the guys". In other words I'm Lily playing a part that happens to be a guy.

I'm also dread changing back to drab. I enjoy dressing and don't want the time to end.

Its intresting to see , and read how alot of you feel more "comfortable" dressed, than as ur male-self :o & you can tell by ur posts that there is some reluctance there for going back "into" ur male gender :o

I would stay staci all the time if I could I hate the change back to Bill

But then I look forward to my next time dressing

Angie, I can only speak for myself as just about everyone here is different. All my life I was confused, ashamed, angry, living in ignorance and denial about who I am. I have finally found out the truth and freedom for the first time by coming to the understanding of me. It's an on-going process. I know I can't wipe out years of the above in the less than the year I discovered the truth, and started to accept me for who I am, but I also know that life is too short to spend the rest of my life in those negative emotions. My tag says "comfortable in my own skin", and for the most part that's true now. Who I am goes beyond how I dress. Yes I feel more comfort in fem clothing as it feels right, but I don't need the clothing to define who I am at this point. I'm me regardless what kind of clothing I wear. To me, it's an inside job, so I am O.K. wearing my nails long and polished, earrings, mascara, purfume and alot,for a "guy", of jewelry even as Charlie, but even still I know those are just trappings I use to express my inner self, and are really not neccessary. But as I said, that's just me.
Love and xxxx, Lily

Yes, especially when it is for something trivial like going to the store to pick up a few items. I've almost been tempted at times just say the heck with it and go out and do my errands en-femme as opposed to changing back into male mode. Jocelyn

I enjoy the time I have but know that I can not let it interfere with my everyday male life.
Disappointed maybe but happy to get what girly time I can.:happy:

i hate changeing back as i enjoy my fem side, so two and a half years i chose to live full and it's the best thing i ever did

I know I have my momnts. My life keeps me busy enough that my chances to dress fully are few & far between, so there are times when I'm reluctant to change back, but there IS another side. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend an entire wek as Lauren. Believe me when I say I was ready to go back into guy mode. It's a LOT of work to keep that up on a daily basis for me, so I was ready to not do it for a while.

I have a few hours per night for the whole production, so I wish I had more time - like an entire night. But I'm in the minority here. For me, it's more like I'm an actor getting dressed for the stage: when the play is over, the costume and makeup come off. No regrets - there's always next time. :happy:

I don't dread it because sometimes it's just something I have to do, but I'd rather wear my skirts, femme form fitting pants and heels 24/7

So I did just that this morning. I wore a butt, leg hugging calf length denim skirt with 4" open toe mule type sandals with my top half as my guy self to take my kids to school today. It was soooo nice.

I can see a time in the next few years where heels, skirts and the above mentioned pants will be the things I wear daily. With the top half as a lady sometimes and sometimes as a guy.


I just hate the double standard where a woman can wear anything and its ok but a guy can't. So it's gotta change and the only way it will is if some of us just wear what we like either in full girl mode or in guy mode. And I'm going to start soon!!!

The past three weeks I have had the opportunity to stay totally enfemme while my wife is out of town. I have yet to go out shopping or run errands dressed, but I do keep on my under garments. But that is gonna change the next few days if I don't chicken out. I enjoy the look and feel of being dressed, but going back to drab doesn't bother at all. Actually I have not given it much thought.

I dread it.

I don't dread changing, I just don't change, giggle.

What I mean is, I've accepted myself as a TG person. I do "fully" dress, wig & forms, but when I revert back to "male" mode, it's just no wig or forms.
My every-day wear is all fem and "practical clothing". Jeans or slacks, if it's cold, otherwise, capries, shorts or a denim skirt, all with fem tops, sandals, earrings, purse and light makeup.

Since I'm always me, no matter what I'm wearing, I always present myself as the TG person I am.
