HEY! I like model trains! And since I don't find crossdressing 'exciting', then yes, model trains are more exciting than crossdressing! (at least, to me, anyway).
But yes, given the right circumstances, I could walk away from crossdressing. Unfortunately, that would require finding a woman that I'm attracted to, who thought that there was nothing wrong with crossdressing, who also found me attractive, because part of the stress that makes me vulnerable to the desire to crossdress, is knowing that she hates something about me, and looks down on me because of that (ex wife).
I managed to quit crossdressing for over ten years, during which I got married. The first, oh, six years that we were together, I had no desire to crossdress; my mind repressed the desire easily, so the thoughts rarely came up, and when they did, were easily dismissed. It was only when other things in my life became more stressful, that my mind couldn't suppress the desire to crossdress, and the urge came back with a vengeance, eventually destroying my marriage when I couldn't hold back the urge any longer. See, back when I got married, I really believed that I had 'beaten it', that maybe it was just a phase, or that I had outgrown it. For that reason, I saw no need to bring it up to my girlfriend, my future wife. So I understand why she was so upset. After all, I was upset, too. I had thought it was all in the past.
It turns out that for me, at least, when other things in my life are going okay, I don't feel the urge to crossdress. So yes, If I won the lottery, and found a suitable wife, I could give up crossdressing. But the likelihood of that happening is virtually zero, as the number of women who are perfectly fine with their husband crossdressing is also virtually zero, or, about equal to actually winning that lottery. Sure, you will find some men on this board who have wives who are genuinely fine with their husband's crossdressing, but out of how many? Last I checked, there have been about 30,000 members here at one time or another. How many have wives that were really just fine with him being a crossdresser? Not a whole lot. And the ones who are actually willing to participate in it with him? Few, indeed.
