I've been dressing since a very young age and without question it started as sexual and exciting. Over the years with family and all, things calm down but that desire is always there as when going into a department store I love going to the women's section and looking at things that are pretty from dresses to lingerie. Heels are always the problem though as for my height of 6'2" I don't really have big feet, size 11 women's. I'm married and she hasn't a clue but has let me know how much she hates "cross dressers" so I have to deal with that as many do. What I find interesting here is that we are all biologically men who love to dress and be fem but so many have no sexual desires they say when dressed. In my opinion, men never loose that desire as can be seen on many sites on the internet where there are very old men still sexually active. Women on the other hand do totally lose that sexual desire at a certain age but do continue to dress nicely. For me getting older, I still love the thrill of putting on my lingerie, garters, stockings, doing my makeup and seeing the transition in the mirror of me becoming a women. Putting on my makeup and wig is the final touch and at that time I do find that I'm aroused. Hopefully I'm doing this for a date but if not I'll have a drink and go out and hope men find me attractive and women admire what I'm wearing. I don't do it just for the sexual desires as I do love just being a woman, but underneath there is that male libido that lurks. It's always fun seeing how people react as even if in low heels I'm tall. So I do love being a gurl or girl and don't always have sexual desires when dressed but then why dress to be attractive as it's quite easy to dress like an old hag too. Bottom line is I love dressing in every aspect and have found men to like me as a girl and that's most gratifying every way and yes I mean every way.
