Cross-Dressing. Why?

[naomi24]

I can understand homosexuality, I can understand trans-gender, but I simply cannot understand why heterosexual men indulge in cross-dressing. Any thoughts that may enlighten me will be welcome.

fiction-factory, // Are you saying people are either 100% heterosexual or 100% homosexual? //

No I am not. Are you saying that some men who claim to be heterosexual are, in fact, not?

Sorry to off topic Naomi, I couldnt resist it!

[ummmm]

Can I ask what prompted the question?

[RATTER15]

Dammit, now I done it twice, apologies!

When I posted that, Naomi, I'd made the error of coming to this post before the other one so I didn't see your message there.

All the same, I've already explained my reasons, as best I can. It just feels right, and natural. As to my sexuality, that's my own affair and I don't intend to discuss it here.

Possibly that was covered by the "I can't really explain it" part of Jim's answer Naomi?

There's lots of thoughts here which might enlighten you.

I used to know a barman at a well known pub Nr Exeter, he always dressed as a woman but also had a heavy beard and moustache and used the ladies toilets. He was a very pleasant guy

I'm sure some aren't, but that doesn't mean they are therefore 100% homosexual.

"No I am not. Are you saying that some men who claim to be heterosexual are, in fact, not?"

General trends for talking about identify politics seems to be heading for a more fluid, less binary definition of gender. So maybe it's a bit of a flawed question?

\\\why heterosexual men indulge in cross-dressing.

Because they, for a multitude of reasons cannot develop a sexual relation with a woman, so the best alternative which doesn't need physical contact with a woman is to put on women's clothes...........next best thing.

I don't think they do it to attract men necessarily, just a bit of fantasy play..a friend of my ex used to do it and he was a respectable family man in a very senior post..with his wife's knowledge...play acting

[jim360]

Well gee, Sqad, that's obviously not at all offensive and insulting.

\\\I don't think they do it to attract men necessarily, just a bit of fantasy play\\\

Exactly......they do it for a laugh.

[RATTER15]

Well sqad, that was a very clear stab in the dark at something you know nothing about!

[gness]

Oh, Sqad....that is so very incorrect.

[murraymints]

ratter have you seen sqad in his janet reger ? what a cracker !! lol

[ummmm]

Sqad...how ignorant are you??!!!

[AB Editor]

I'm sure Sqad has done his time in tights.

[murraymints]

the chap I knew had a very full sex life with his wife and 6 kids to prove it ! A macho man's man but nevertheless he liked to play sometimes

[Sqad]

LOL.

Look, if you were truly herterosexual ( you fancied women) why would you put on women's clothes to attract men.....difficult to understand eh? and that was the question of the OP.
This business pf men being 40% htero 60%homo or 70%...you get the picture is b,llsh1t.
