Similar for me, but I don't try to over analize

And my energy switches over to the masculine -- and I feel a completer connection with my masculine right afterwards.
I wish I can maintain the feminine for longer periods... and I hope to do this.
Greater and deeper acceptance is needed. My wife is supportive that i find that greater acceptance -- go deep into it, and see what comes out.
She's a good practising psychotherapist...
I am the same way. After ejaculating, I want to change back into my normal clothes. I don't have any guilt, or feel bad for what I have just done. I just feel sexual relief. Just like when you have sex, you feel fulfilled, and satisfied and no longer need to be erotic. What does it mean? Probably nothing. It's just what I do. If you really want to know what you are, its more so your thoughts when you are not sexually stimulated.

It's not a new discovery; Aristotle said: "Post coitum animal triste" which means more or less "After sex the guy feels low".
Others suggest getting right back into the clothes. I don't see the point, and would think it would spoil the atmosphere. It might also get you into the habit of thinking crossdressing= let-down, and that would never do!
Newbie,
I'm with Katie on this one too.
To that, I can add several things...
That after living with women for decades, I've come to understand that women don't get turned on all that much by their clothes. To them, to look "good enough" is a passing grade so they can just get on with the rest of their day, "Sex be damned, I gotta feed my kids!"
The greater challenge then, is not to have quick-sticky-sex but to proceed with the plan of dressing and dressing well and being true to the other role - all the rest of it. If it's just sex you want, any catalog or video will do... But, if it's living like the other side lives, well, be ready for a longer, more respectful, ride with more complications and commitments than it might be "sexy" to think about.
The reality of "their" lives is everything they complain it is... Tight and clumsy shoes, breasts that get in the way most of your life, embarrassing flows - and stomach pains you can't even talk about. Yuck. We get to live the ideal, as it were, and "they" have a legitimate grip about that. Imagine how you'd feel if someone took a picture of you in a guy tuxedo, went home, and masturbated to it - then tossed your picture in the trash? Would you just feel used AND misunderstood? How about if they took your tuxedo out of your closet, did the same thing, and stuck it back on the hanger?
I appreciate that you enjoy dressing up and getting a thrill, in several ways, from doing so. But, as Katie says, don't confuse the sex with something else. Sex is sex and crossing gender lines is something else. In my view, however, once you cross that line you should be playing by their rules.
And, do they fantasize in slips and bras about being with men? Only in movies like "Animal House" - which is all about male fantasies... Mostly they wear "sexy" clothes to attract a mate, and can't wait to stop having to go through all that silliness just to be close to someone and have a healthy, helpful life and relationship.
Keep sorting out what you, and all the rest of this, are all about.
Good luck and good living.
