I had my hubby read your reply and he agreed to try it. :D I think this might start things off. I would maybe add to your rules list that what ever is revieled during these communication sessions can not be used against the other in the heat of an argument.

Do you think that communication might be easier because he would not be wearing the "uniform" of his man self? I mean, sort of like talking in the dark, it is just easier. If this is the case then one needs to eventually work on being a better communicator in the man "uniform" as well.
Thanks!
Good point, absolutely that should also be a rule.
I think the not wearing the male 'uniform' is one part as you say, but also by wearing the female clothes it could help him feel more open to exploring his feelings, the ultimate male taboo. Also many CDers tend to feel more confidant and comfortable in some respects in their femme gear, making the whole exercise easier. I think this exercise would help both overall relate to their partner, to their partners feelings, to their own emotions which would help communication in the long term whatever the side being worn. Once he's more in touch with his feelings in girl mode, then he can start to work on them in guy mode. At any rate its a chance to learn more about each other, the kind of things that might not ever be discussed.
