For me it was and still is exciting. However, what I figured out is that for me it wasn't the clothes themselves that was exciting. I was getting turned on by the fact that I was getting dressed up to look sexy. I felt sexy wearing those clothes which adds to the excitement. There's so much "fetish crossdressing" on the internet that I think early on that was just the default connection I made in my mind. In the end it did feel amazing wearing those clothes but like docrobbysherry, I've only been sexually excited while dressed alone. Once I'm out in public its not a sexual thing anymore but a very liberating expression of part of my identity. So much more enjoyable (and lasts longer too).
