Hope y'all don't mind a lighthearted thread. An MtF crossdresser once told me the crossdressing was a way to relax and relieve stress, and was also fairly addictive. I thought, "Well, it beats drinking." So here's my list of:
Why crossdressing is better than drinking as a relaxation/stress-relief habit:
1. Crossdressing will not, in and of itself, leave you with a hangover.
2. Nobody ever crashed his car simply because he put on panties half an hour before he got behind the wheel.
3. I have never heard of a "lingerie blackout." (Pink fogs, maybe, but no blackouts.)
4. Crossdressing will not damage your liver (unless your corset is EXTREMELY tight, and then all bets are off.)
5. Extensive crossdressing will not interfere with your sleep cycles or weaken your immune system.
6. After crossdressing, you WILL be able to walk a straight line, and you might even be able to do it in high heels!
So… if it works for you, go for it!
