I'm new here but have always been curious about something. A topic that I'm sure has been beaten to death ... and then beaten some more. Then beaten again for good measure!
I've been a closet dresser my entire life. Panties, stockings, corsets, wigs, skirts, blouses, you get my point. Have only had relationships with women, and prefer it that way. I am in NO WAY attracted to guys as guys. Meaning, I might be able to look at another guy and think, "wow, that's a good looking dude." But it stops there. I've never been attracted to guys sexually. Some might say, oh come on, you're in denial and would welcome the opportunity to jump this guy or that guy's bones if given the chance. But I can honestly say I've never felt that way. Again, I can think a guy is attractive but nothing more.
However, a crossdresser that I'm attracted to? Totally different story. For as far back as I can remember I've been attracted to other crossdressers. You could put a naked guy in front of me and I'd be like, "Get out of my sight!" But you put that same guy in a pair of satin panties, stockings, corset, heels, wig, makeup, tight skirt and blouse, and I'd be all over him (sorry, her!). Not sure why that is, but it is what it is. Since childhood my strongest urges when it comes to sexuality have come from seeing satin or silk panties and lingerie, crossdressing, and lesbian sex. See the correlation? Again, I LOVE women and prefer relationships with women. But that said, I would certainly be open to exploring my sexuality with another crossdresser if the right opportunity came along.
So my question is, being new to these forums, is this common? For those with a deeper and broader understanding of who we are, what does this make me?
