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.

Jim, if that is you, I'm impressed! and why the hell not!

[naomi24]

Well, there doesn't appear to be a definitive reason so I'm still none the wiser. I can't say with hand on heart that the idea of a heterosexual man trying to look like a woman doesn't strike me as rather odd though. Thanks for your answers all.

Ah! naomi, but what it does is to cement your preference and bravery in admitting cross dressing into the hearts of the majority of AB women and indeed some AB men as well.

Well done.

Naomi, "Well, there doesn't appear to be a definitive reason so I'm still none the wiser."

I think its because there are many reasons, some sexual, some purely preference to Woman's clothing over Men's clothing, some just like the attention they get.

I suppose there must be some women that like to dress as men for the same reasons, although I'm not aware of any.

You may be none the wuser but at least you are better informed.

It's not that there isn't a definitive reason but it seems that there are many of them.

WISER
Like I $&*$$@ well typed

Well, I have been trying to follow the thread and understanding the psyche, but to be honest, the only cogent reason for men putting on women's clothes is........."it just feels right."

Can you point me to a post that has given other reasons?

[Old_Geezer]

You yourself offered that some do it for a laugh.

[naomi24]

OG, //You may be none the wuser but at least you are better informed.//

I don't think so..

[douglas9401]

Doing it 'for a laugh' is disrespectful and may be regarded as hate speech by a big hairy polis in a skirt and heels.

[Sqad]

I did, I did, O_G but my post was kicked into touch, by replies that it was of "jawdropping " ignorance.
So I thought, that cannot be one reason for cross dressing.

Any other evidence of reasons for cross dressing?

[RATTER15]

Sqad, I didnt say that all the answers are in this post, I think you would need to ask a lot cross dressers for a more definitive answer, even then I am sure they would vary from one to another.

[Sqad]

Ratter....mmm! maybe.....I guess, just guess that the answers would be just as ambiguous as this thread.

[Old_Geezer]

I suspect some rugby player types do so for a laugh during booze-ups. Even if they are in the minority (and some might even be using humour as a good excuse). No desire to search the thread for others, but it's not just been solely "feels right", which I take to mean internally/mentally, but also sexual excitement too. And the texture of silken clothes may be an non-sexual attraction too. Different individuals seem to get different things from it and feel a need to indulge for different reasons.

[Sqad]

O_G so to sum up:

It feels right.
It's done for a laugh.
Non sexual pleasure of silk against skin.
Other non-specific individual reasons.

Well my post based on your precis answers the OP's question.
Mind you it did take 177 posts to come to that conclusion.

[pixie374]

It's because it comes down to feelings and they can't be rationalised.

[jim360]

Well I tried to give an answer as best I could. But if you aren't satisfied with the answer that's your problem, not mine.
