I'm not sure I get a thrill from dressing any more. For me it is more about what I feel comfortable in so if it were acceptable to wear whatever I liked I would continue to wear lingerie and skirts etc. as I do now.
I like the feel of lingerie as it is softer and silkier than traditional male underwear so I think that has a lot to do with it for me. Also as a side-effect of my prostate medication I have developed breast tissue so wearing a bra is now getting to be less of something I want to do and more of something I need to do.
