Thank you all for the responses! I was just trying to figure out if I am normal or not when it comes to CDing. When I read all these books and personal sites on the net, that insist that CDing isn't sexual, I feel like I must be a freak, cuz here are these "crossdresser" types telling me they they don't do it for sexual reasons. And I must admit, that I do feel sexual and sensual at different times when dressing. Its not always about sexual pleasure, it not always not about sexual pleasure either.
What I find interesting after reading this forum for several months, and I think, getting a perspective about some of the members, and my perspective is that they / we are very good people, nice people, and pretty honest people here on the forum and in life.
Now I look at the poll results, and
42% feel more sensual when dressed.
25% say its always about sexual pleasure.:D
17% say its mostly about sexual pleasure.
28% say its sometimes about sexual pleasure.
Only 5% say its never about sexual pleasure, and 2% say that they don't feel more sensual when dressed.
So how many of the "crossdressers" in these books and personal sites are being truthful with us when they say crossdressing isn't about sex, or sexual pleasure, at least in part? And why wouldn't they be honest about it. I came out to my wife to quit lying or being deceptive, if you will. So why not be totally honest about what we think some of the motivations are behind CDing? Especially when writing a book or other information supposed to help CD's and those who love them.
I know myself, and I felt less than adequate after reading the "misinformation" in some of the books I have read. I am not accusing the authors of "lying" but I think they may have misrepresented a significant portion of the CD population. Just look at the poll results.
What say you????
I apologize if I offended anyone who responded to the poll! It is not my intention to divide us into even smaller and more demeaning lables, just a curiosity thing. OK?
