Interesting thread... for me the dressing doesn’t impact the frequency of “self love” ... that just happens when it needs to lol, dressed or otherwise. That said, the dressing DEFINITELY comes from a deprivation of emotional connection and physical touch (not necessarily sexual, but intimate for sure). Although married, sex is infrequent, and non sexual contact is minimal as well. I’ve spent tons of money on dressing, massage therapy (legitimate kind) as well as beauty spa treatments to try and fill this void. And I say try because all of these things have boundaries... so I end up in one sided emotional affairs or the like... which just makes it all worse lol. *sigh*
