    Without being an authority on being Gay. Being attracted to other men or feeling a certain way is the difference between night and day. Having sex with another man is a big difference between gay feelings. I had attractions towards other males all my life. I acted on it and in my denial of being gay, I just considered it passing acts because in large part, I first and foremost was into girls like any average guy until, I faced the reality. No straight man pitches are catches from the other. I have been married, fathered children and lived years without acting on my attractions and did not consider myself gay or bi.
    But then came the reality. Straight men do not do other men. A man is not gay because of attractions. It is acting on it. For example. Is a man a cross dresser because he like the way women clothes look and would like to try it. Or does he become a cross dresser when he start wearing women clothes.

    I'm most definitely BI. Have been since my early teens. Fortunately this is one aspect of my relationship with my wife (GG), that is not a problem, she has no issues with this, and we have been known to be socially friendly with other people (in certain environments). Ironically enough, she has concerns and fears about the whole CD thing..

    I've commented on this on another thread, but for me, there is an odd dynamic taking place. I identify as being bi-sexual, but I find myself attracted in different ways to different genders. I am attracted both emotionally and sexually to women, but only sexually with men. I suppose if I started living more and more as a woman I might find myself changing... but I can only guess. From what I read here and on other websites it is quite obvious that what motivates us to crossdress is different for each of us and the sexual aspect of it seems to be all over the map. I suppose it boils down to "whatever fits your fancy."

    I've always liked both. Just depends on what I see, how they move, how they smell and who they are.

    I am sort of like Julia Ann in that when in normal male mode I honestly have stopped thinking about sex pretty much. However when dressed as Missy Nicole, which is becoming more often, I definitely prefer a man. It feels so natural thinking about wanting to be with him when dressed. Now to find him

    This has been a issue with me for some time. All my life at any given point there has always been a man that I was attracted to. I could see myself being with him as a female. To date I've never been with another man, I've tried toys to experiment with, and that was fine it felt natural . Just like wearing a dress does.
    But after going to gay forums and exploring , I personally found myself turned off when guys started flirting with me.
    Maybe it's just because I wasn't attracted to them, I'm not sure what I would do if one of the guys I am attracted to was to show interest .

    While in drab, I’m a guy 100% so I like girls, but when dressed as Cheryl I like the boys.

    I used to identify as straight, but after sorting out many aspects of my life, I began to identify as gay, though this came late for me - around the age of 40. When I'm in drab, I see myself as a gay male, but en femme I'm a straight woman. My ever-evolving understanding of my identity is currently that I am transgendered, but not at the point where I'm ready to begin transitioning. I'm in therapy right now trying to move forward, but I'm taking it very slowly.

    Interesting

    Thread is interesting. I have been through many theories myself but now I would love to be dressed as a girl with a man, and I am not sure if that is gay or not. As I would identify as a girl.

    I must check this out. Definitely I will do this.

    Word. In male mode, guys hold no interest for me, but as Gail, they are getting my attention online. I'll let you know more if and when I get out of the closet.

    There's a theory, that's probably true for some people, that if you have no previous attraction to men and you suddenly develop an attraction to the idea of being with a man when you're dressed, that you're objectifying the man and treating him as an accessory to your CDism. That is, you see a hot girl in ankle strap shoes, you want ankle strap shoes -- you see her having sex with a guy and you want a guy to have sex with. Don't be offended; neither I nor the people who came up with this idea are trying to demean your desires, but same sex attraction that doesn't stay with you when you're not dressed is probably not true attraction. If you're the exception, fine.

    Good points Jennie.
    Sexual preference doesn't change because of the clothes.

    This is so simple but so on target. I think it is so obvious that we all look over it!

    It's a very good point. I am still attracted to girls, but I took a decision a while ago to concentrate sex on being a girl, and that led me to guys. No regrets. Nothing is better than a nice snuggle with a glass of wine watching a film. And anyway, I'm probably trans anyway. Being single I have all the time to explore and can spend weekends dressed up which is cool. When you spend that kind of time in a female mode you start to think more like that, and nothing beats waking up on a Sunday morning in lingerie next to a nice large guy. If you are girly inclined like me.

    Sophie, it looks like you're on a road of discovery that can be quite satisfying... and confusing, all at the same time. I am bi, but when in drab I have no emotional attraction to men - it's strictly sexual. However, when I'm dressed I seem to have a different feeling toward men as my feminine side takes over. I want more than just the physical. As a woman, everything changes - sex becomes an adjunct to something deeper and more satisfying. One of the wonderful mysteries of life.

    That makes a lot of sense, however if a CDer takes the fantasy further and sleeps with a man, and they are fundamentally straight. Wouldn't that experience be a disaster?

    I do know of one person that did this and really regretted it, actually they were sickened by it.

    If that theory held true there should be a fair number on here that have regrets?

    Jennie I think this rings true for a lot of CDs

    For me the emotional, romantic, sexual attractions are all men, always have been, regardless of how I present. However, the intellectual and sometimes emotional interests are with women. Meaning, I am friends with more women than gay guys. At work, I associate with the women, not the men.

    But at the end of the day, regardless of what happened, I want to snuggle up with a big strong hairy guy, and feel his scruffy beard and tactile hands and his smell and voice and well you get the idea...

    That's a lot of letters

    I usually reserve the "long version" for people in the know, for the general populous who can barely grasp Straight, Bi, Gay/Les I try to keep it simple with Bisexual (it cuts down on the gender vs sexuality confusion), even though I more closely identify with Lesbian*.

    *(And for those of you who are wondering, yes you can "be with" someone of the "opposite sex" and still identify as Gay or Lesbian.)

    Like many have said before.........
    What you wear has no effect on your sexuality.

    Do you:
    A] Find men attractive on a normal daily basis?
    B] Only find men attractive when dressed, or "feeling fem"?

    If you answered A - Congrats, you are most likely Bisexual, or at least seriously Hetero-Flexible ("Straight" but willing to go that way)

    If you answered B - Then no, you are not Bisexual nor Hetero-Flexible.
    You are simply a straight guy who enjoys (maybe a bit too much) the fantasy of being a straight girl (while "dressed") who is attracted to guys.


    <Rant> (this is not directed at you Stephanie A, but to anybody who happens to fit the bill)

    Quite frankly I am seriously sick and tired of hearing tales of "weekend bisexuals" who are in reality straight men, who are happy being straight men, who have NO - ZERO attraction to other men in their daily Male lives.
    (Except of course when they are *giggles* wearing a pair of *#^%$ panties.)

    It is stuff like this that is another reason why [REAL] Bisexuals are thought of as myths, like unicorns.

    Why Straight, (But mostly) Gay and Lesbian people want nothing to with Bisexuals because we are seen as jokes, closeted Gay/Lesbians who are afraid to come out, untrustworthy, will (and want to) have sex with anybody.
    Or more simply are "greedy" or "can't decide" who they like.

    I am Bisexual, in every sense of the word, but I "identify" as Lesbian because:
    1) I like both, but have a preference towards other women, but more importantly
    2) There are plenty of Lesbians who will not touch a "Bi" girl (trans or not) with a ten foot pole.
    Mostly due to the above reasons.

    So I will leave you with the picture below. </Rant>




    PS: Chrissi, I do apologize for "going off" in what has other wise been a very nice (if sometimes fanciful) thread.
