I'll try to throw my two cents' worth in...
Like many of you have said - in my teen and early adult years, getting dressed would be sexually arousing for me. I found myself wondering if this was some kind of fetish and not an identity thing.
But - I remember that I was dressing even as a little kid, long before the sexual element kicked in. and even after the erotic thrill of dressing has passed, the dressing continues.
So what's going on??
Well, in my case I think I've figured it out. As a male I've always felt about as sexy as a dried out lump of silly putty. The body parts are wrong. the body hair is ugly. All that.
But put me in a dress and I can begin to feel desirable. the more feminine I can get myself looking, the sexier I can feel. Couple this with the raging hormones of early adult life and the results are obvious.
For me at least, it isn't so much the clothes themselves that are the turn on. They are more like a key that opens that carefully locked-away part of me - and over there is where a large part of my sexuality lies.
