When I first started, I would have to say it was definitely for the thrill. Fast forward about fifty years, it's now for a purpose. When the day-to-day grind closes in, there is nothing more liberating (satisfying?) than to transform myself (in appearance anyway), into a female. I thoroughly embrace my feminine side and dress to soothe my soul and completely relax most every day. Getting on in years and enjoying my being has brought a whole new meaning to enjoying life!
