With me it's a little of both . When I was younger it was a need now it's more like a want to.

Most of the time with me it's "Want to"...But if I go too long it becomes "Need to"

I dress fairly often, at least a few times a week for short amounts of time because I want to. I want to say that I don't need to dress, but I know what will happen if I don't dress.
It must be "need", because while I can sometimes stop for a while, the need always comes back.

If I "need" to, it's all for a matter of well-being. There are times when the desire to be en femme is overwhelming, and simply gnaws at me.
Throw that in with the simple "I want to", and there you have it.
Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

Well, I don't feel any sort of compulsion...but I do feel happier and more comfortable when dressed, and a longing when not.
I will say a little of both. When I have less stress I dress less.
Duty? I sometimes dress just exactly when I don't want to, when I'd rather be doing something else, just so I don't forget all of who I am.
And so we go, on with our lives...
We know the Truth, but prefer Lies.
Lies are simple, simple is Bliss.
Why go against tradition, when we can admit defeat,
Live in Decline, be the victim of our own design?
Need to for sure.
Femininity is a large part of my being and over the years I have tried to suppress it to no avail. I have discovered that this is me and my need to express it outweighs all else.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
I call myself a casual dresser who can dress or not as the mood arises. But then why is the mood always arising?

Short term = want to
long term = need to
For me it is nearly always want to, just every so often I feel I need to if I feel stressed and needing an escape
I need to dress because I want to, therefore I need to
Put a little lipstick on you'll feel better
Why does this thread remind me of quitting smoking?
Sure, I can quit anytime I want to. I just like to smoke.
For me, thankfully, not any more. I just like to dress.

I love to dress,in secret.I use my mothers clothes,secretly.We are about the same size
so I can get away with trying on her dresses&skirts&blouses&shoes.I have a personal stash of pantyhose&I put on a pair&wander thru her closet,wearing her many outfits&I
sometimes dress in her good skirtsuits&use one of her blouses&a pair of heels&spend the day dressed&do my hair and makeup at her table
Its a necessity to life for me.
to be en femme is overwhelming at times.
The desire to dress is always there, but when the desire becomes overwhelming it becomes a need. At least that's how it is for me.
Mostly a "manly man" but sometimes I really am overcome with an inner desire...
To be truthful, I hate wearing clothing, period but I'm much more comfortable in women's clothing. I've always thought, shouldn't it be the other way around. A pair of pants is just a mean thing to do to a man lol
The headlights blinded me!
It is definitely a need. Like many here, I thought it would go away once I got married in a stable relationship. But, no, the need is just as strong if not stronger. The Want comes in: I want to do it the best that I can and look the most believable I can.
I feel wonderful when I'm dressed but it's definitely a need for me. I have to express Stacey.
It's no more a need for me. It's just when i want to.
i want more need to dress...
i put on a skirt as often as i can, even if just for a couple hours, or just for dinner/breakfast/etc.
spent the whole day yesterday dressed, cleaning up inside the house. would have done some outside...but it was raining.

Most of the time i just like to which i guess is wanting to but every so often there is a need to .
