I wrestled with this for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the worst thing about being a cross dresser was that feeling of longing to dress and then being frustrated when I couldn't. Some years ago I made a decision to address that specifically. I made the decision to dress every day, seven days a week, for at least fifteen minutes. I stuck with it, for the most part, unless something came up that was important enough to prevent it.
From my point of view, it was a success. I am not saying I have escaped the drive to cross dress, but over time the feeling has changed from a compulsion to a habit. Now that I am retired, I dress every day, first thing in the morning. Then ,later in the day, I will change into drab and do any errands or yard work I have to do. I don't feel frustrated about changing, because I know I will be in a dress again tomorrow.
The arrangement seems to work well for my wife as well. The main point is; Make it a regular habit and it will stop feeling so much like a compulsion.

I don't feel like I want to dress I need to and do every chance I get
-
Need. It's scary just how much real estate this has taken over in my thoughts.
-
I like to dress because it makes me feel pretty and sexy. Plus the choices are endless for women's wear. The fabrics and styles feel so much better then menswear. I think it also reduces my stress. Not a hobby.

It's a need , anyone trying to stop cd'ing will find the need will always be there

I feel both, but I do at times feel the NEED to dress, not just want, but the NEED. It isn't all the time by any means, and sometimes it can be as much as several months between dressing but when it comes the "pink fog" is an almost irresistible force. Now where can I sneak off to?
-
Not so much a need, but I want to and I like dressing. There are sometimes when the urge is not there and that's fine. But there may be other times when I'll slip into a skirt, bra and a top and just hang out at home. Then again I know that usually at least once a week I will go full out and head out and do things as Nikki.
-
I need to dress from time to time, would dress all the time if I could get away with it, I love presenting as a women
-
Some days my brain needs me to want to dress while other days I want the need to dress.
At last... I know why I'm always confused!
