I enjoy wearing the skirts and dresses and have often wondered if I just have a clothes fetish. I love the feel and of different fabics and love to look at different prints of clothing. Its one of the reasons I love to buy clothing from the womens side of the store. I still wonder if that is my interest. At this point of my life I probably should seek theripy but if clothes buying makes me happy( and it does!) I don't go overboard (most of the time!) and I enjoy this side of myself. As much as I used to stress over this, I have finally decieded that what matters is that I feel good about myself. I do feel good about myself when I wear the clothing appropiate to how I feel.

But,when I wear a dress[my wife has made some and reworked others] I get a different feeling.I can only describe it as what comes from being encased in a truly feminine outfit and totally committed to it..I love the look but as I am muscular in the shoulders,it isn't every dress that looks right as I feel like Shrek when I try an outfit that doesn't work.

(I am female by the way) I know many men who are not cross dressers but do lament their woeful lack of choice of fabric, colour and shape in mens clothing. NOT all cultures are like the West in the regard. There are others where the mens clothes are every bit as fabulous as a womans, jewells and sequins etc. Can a man get tingly over a t-shirt or pair of jeans, extremely unlikely! So if a man was to have any tingle interest in clothes then surely it'd be something with a bit more vavavooooooom. I know a chap who recently got very excited about his trousers which have straps and pockets and even a tiny bit of lace trim round one of those pockets. If as a person you are a creative,visual and tactile then it's natural to get excited when something meets that criteria. Most men perhaps would exercise their desire for that dress by buying it for the wife and enjoying seeing and touching it while on her. Some like yourself prefer to experience it more directly for yourself. It's not easily explainable as you say, but I think our restrictive, plain and blah (when it comes to mens clothes) culture perhaps has much to answer for.
