Is there a connection between crossdressing and being asexual?

Leslie,

An interesting and thoughtful proposition well described and I for one can see there's a certain logic to it. The thing I would question is if the loss of sexual intimacy any lesser or greater within our community or outside of it?

True it's often reported here but we're a community that's willing to share our thoughts and emotions. It's not something that's likely to be admitted to in more macho environments. As many come out to their SO's in later life, well into the marriage it could be difficult to separate that loss of intimacy from being due to aging from the revelation of CD'ing.

I have no idea if there are any figures available to prove/disprove the hypothesis but nevertheless it's one that's entirely plausible.

I am 64, always single, never had any penetration sex in my life. i have been attracted sexually to some women, but not most, for sure! I may love a woman's hair and face, but have zero desire to bed her. i have some male shame to be honest, and never have shown my male plumbing to any female, but my sister saw it, when i was 14, and broke my leg. She has never allowed any man to touch her all her 70 yrs! i like having women friends, but would not try to have any sexual relations with them. When i am dressed up a a lady, i have strong feelings of wanting to be with a man, as a lady, though. I do not understand myself.
