I believe one major component of CDing rarely discussed is simply wanting/having the "power" that most females possess naturally. That of being "wanted or desired" merely because of their looks/physical appearance/presentation - call it what you will.
I find the idea that this is seen as power really ironic and interesting. I'd trade it for real power over my life and my body any day. I'd trade this "power" for the power to take a walk at night without being in danger of being "wanted."
