34. I'm not sure. Lot's of ideas though. It could be that there is some connection to that most female of body parts. The connection could be the desire to feel closer to women cause you wear something close to that body part. Or it could be a sexual thing, i.e., turned on wearing the closest thing to that female body part. Or maybe the combination of both. Of course, panties are also something we can wear 24/7 if we wish and never get caught. It seems as though there is no female clothing item that is more female than panties.
35. Not really, I tire of the going back and forth. The constant battle in my mind. I guess it's more resistance since there isn't an overpowering maleness fighting back against the femaleness. If I could only accept it more. I joke with my wife that if I could only blend it, I'd be Rod Stewart. LOL. If I only knew how.
36. I have fought low-lying depression my whole life. Probably cause of this gender thing. It helps when I get more time to dress, some me-time. You could help me by understanding that it's something I fight with, it's a struggle. A struggle to understand what it is, and why it's happening to me. In the end, if you could help me enjoy it, or help me feel it's natural, I'd be happier.

Although mens underwear has improved in selection and color selection somewhat over the years, they aren't even close to the variety in panties. I find most mens underwear uncomfortable. Most panties fit better and some provide better support then men's undies.

35) Having to do with your CD lifestyle are you for the most part happy? If not what would make you happier?

For the most part I am happy since I accepted who I am.

36) Do you have bouts of depression or sadness because of CDing? Why do you think you do? What helps you? Is there anything we can do?

Sometimes I get down because I feel like dressing and can't because of self imposed boundries. I am not out to the world; only a select few. Nobody can do anything about it but me.

I don't understand it either, I wear them, but don't feel any need to obsess, or even mention it for that matter.

35) Having to do with your CD lifestyle are you for the most part happy? If not what would make you happier?

I could not possibly be happier. :)

36) Do you have bouts of depression or sadness because of CDing? Why do you think you do? What helps you? Is there anything we can do?

When I was younger and trying to come to terms with my self, I suffered a lot. But at some point I came to accept it as a part of myself, and well, see the answer to 35. ;)

34) Not saying it is wrong I am just wanting to understand. Why the seeming obsession with panties? All the threads about them? I just do not get it.

It was in my younger years an obsession for me. When I was thirteen and I tried on my older sisters yellow panties for the first time, I was hooked for life and I have purchased more panties than any mens underwear since then!:) How can you resist a nice pair of panties. Now panties are just a fun and a sexy way to complete my wardrobe.

35) Having to do with your CD lifestyle are you for the most part happy? If not what would make you happier?

Happy when I am dressed and that is not too often. What would make me happy is to be able to break my internal barriers to go out and meet my fellow CD's while dressed as a woman. That I need help with.

Just the opposite, I have lost most of my closest family members due to tragic life ending events and my dressing, saved me. Just shopping and tryng on the clothes helped so much in the release of all the sadness. I never took any medication and when I slipped on a pretty dress, life seemed a little better for me.:sad:

Week 13

34) Not saying it is wrong I am just wanting to understand. Why the seeming obsession with panties? All the threads about them? I just do not get it.

For me threads about panties (knickers to us brits) are understandable. Guy me has boxers and nothing else.
Girl me has thongs, briefs, hi and low cut shorts in lace, satin, ribbons and sheer see thru stuff.
They feel lovely on, far more than guy underwear.
To me, knickers, garters and bras are pretty much the pinacle of femme attire, without them on, there's little point in dressing at all for me.

35) Having to do with your CD lifestyle are you for the most part happy? If not what would make you happier?

The only thing I would like to do is get out to a club and actually meet some fellow CD/TVs for a chat and a laugh. I cant imagine fear being a problem when Im THERE, in the club, enjoying myself.
It's getting there dressed that worries me.
Im not easily passable for numerous reasons, and my town, let alone my street isn't world renowned for having an open minded populous.

36) Do you have bouts of depression or sadness because of CDing? Why do you think you do? What helps you? Is there anything we can do?

Not really. I see my CDing more as a comforter for times of stress and/or depression, not the cause of it.
It's never gotten in the way of my life or my relationships, so for now its a definate positive force in my life.
