When I dress I experience great relief at temporarily not having to "be male."

I simply adore women's fashions. I constantly look at girl's clothingon the streets--moreso than at the girl.

Some of it is fetish-related (in my case, high heels, lipstick and satin dresses).

Just as there are multiple motivations for dressing I believe there are multiple "degrees" of it, and it may help both of you to identify his...Is he content to dress only occasionally? Does he feel he might really be a woman? Does he have a strong urge to pass or to go out in public? How often and how long does he dress? Can he balance both a male and female mode of behavior and be satisfied?

Ultimately I have no idea why I dress, other than I love it and feel I am only my true self when dressed....
