Are crosdressers gay

[Ellie B]

Hi very interesting discussion,

Just starting to explore my crossdressing and trying to work it all out.
as everyone else has prob done.

I am straight and do not fancy men and would not have a relationship with a man. I am not a transexual and have no desire to become a women physically.

I feel the need to crossdress as an outlet and expression of my feminine side ( Ellie ) and also find it, as with many cd's, sexually arousing.(won't go into discussion about nature/nurture male/female brain etc etc now).

However I have noticed that when I see a picture of myself as Ellie.I am stangely attracted to the feminine me ??? anyone else?? and in an even stranger way, secrectly would like a man to find me an attractive women.

I find myself attractive when dressed. I am gay, but since I crossdress, i tend to be more bisexual than gay. I like to watch girls, but i'm not sure if I like her clothes or her body. But One thing is for sure: her body in her clothes looks good, and that's the way I try to look when I dress.

Hi Ellie--

Those aren't unusual feelings, as I've talked to CDs who share them. I know the kind of things that men like about women, and I enjoy presenting the best version of that that I can. It surprised me when I first found out how much I liked being attractive to men.

It surprised me when I first found out how much I liked being attractive to men.

When I first noticed this I found it quite bizzare. Crudely put. It's as if my brain has 2 sides and the feminine brain desires affirmation of her femininity from a man and the male part desires the feminine traits expressed by Ellie in the pictures.

fascinating what you learn about yourself, when you take the inhibiters off.

We are just a bunch of guys who like to get dressed in womens clothes and escape reality by feeling good about ourselves,and just escaping for a while from this crazy hectic world. This is not a sexual thing. X(OXO

I'd disagree Lovie

I'd say we are a bunch of guys and females who enjoy dressing up, sometimes as an escape, sometimes because well clothes are innanimate and have no gender any way, sometimes because we are slightly genderqueer and this makes us feel more who we are, and sometimes because its really really hot and sexual for some of us.

i think its unfair to say its not sexual for everyone.

Wow let me just say all these answers are really facinating, great question!

Personally I have no interest in men.

I crossdress because it makes me feel good and takes me somewhere I can't describe.
