Being retired and by my self when I get up in the morning the first thing I do (after running to the bathroom) LOL I start to figure what I will be wearing for the day, and I am excited to put on a cute dress or a cute top with my leggings or skirt. I do have some fun shorts I can wear outside and it’s hard to tell, seeing how I am not out, I have some jeans now too that I can wear outside.

DuchessRegistered On: September 10, 2015Topics: 22Replies: 74Has thanked: 43 timesBeen thanked: 703 timesThe plethora of emotions that flow when I dress is challenging to describe, but I think it comes down to wanting to feel feminine more often than I do, and knowing that shaving my legs, putting on makeup, and wearing pantyhose and a dress makes me feel feminine.
There is relief due to scratching an itch that has become more intense; there is the physical thrill of feeling the pantyhose tightly on your legs and pelvis; there is the excitement of “getting away with something” by looking feminine; there is the intoxicating smell of perfume and makeup; and there is much more
But feeling feminine is the big one.
I guess there is part of me that wants to spend more time as a woman

When dressing in my pretty clothes and even in my “girly drab” to go to town it’s just satisfaction about a well coordinated outfit. BUT…… when I start to see Stephanie come out when applying full makeup it is total elation. It’s like a totally different person is looking back at me in the mirror and she is sooo happy to be set free. My mindset completely changes and it flows through my body with a relaxing calm. My pink fog had waned considerably and my wife noticed. She told me I should fully dress since Stephanie is better company. That’s all it took and my pink fog has totally engulfed me again and I am MUCH happier. Stephanie

At the moment I feel:-
Satisfaction
Gult
Sadness.
My crossdressing, whilst fine most of the time, is recently causing major problems.
So whilst I enjoy being dressed, I feel terrible guilt and sadness. If this were asked a few weeks ago, it would be satisfaction.
I need to dress, but if I could take a magic pill to make these desires go away, I’d take it in an instant. It\s causing too much angst and sadness at the moment. Things will improve, but it will take a little time.Cerys

LadyRegistered On: June 27, 2018Topics: 7Replies: 481Has thanked: 444 timesBeen thanked: 2344 timesIt really depends on what I’m wearing.
I really enjoy having a whole day to myself and totally feminizing myself. Sadly I spend hours putting on many of my dresses. Then I may go for a short walk, but it’s frustrating to get all dolled up and then have no place to go. These times are very satisfying, but at the same time very sad.
Then there are days when I don’t have the time to play dress-up in all my dresses and I only have a few hours to indulge myself in femininity. These days I will just hang out by my pool in summer or in my lingerie room in winter putting on some of my girly lingerie. I really enjoy my huge collection of nighties and negligees. These times are very exciting.
On these days my dressing can become quite sexually arousing and often before I have to end my playing around, I spend the last of this wonderful time pleasuring myself.
I don’t always end my lingerie dress-up time by pleasuring myself, but if I am feeling horny I will always put on lingerie to get off.

I can’t deny there is some sexual excitement which is a challenge to suppress but the overpowering sensation is an adrenaline rush. It’s still scary for me.5 users thanked author for this post.

Dressing is giving in to being who I really am.
It has become essential to my life and my well being.
I still can’t dress as much as I would like , but it’s getting better.
I am more comfortable bying things in shops for myself , a lot more than in the past !
I think in this covid pandamic , the limitations that were/are imposed on all of us , compromising our personal freedom , have brought my Feminine feelings to the surface even more.
Dressing has become essential in dealing with this for me personally.
I know now , more than ever , HOW important crossdressing is for me….
Love Sylvia.

DuchessRegistered On: March 4, 2020Topics: 3Replies: 527Has thanked: 647 timesBeen thanked: 1980 timesI chose “elation” because when I do it right that’s how I feel most often.
Now, that’s not the only feeling I deal with.
I get sad when thinking about the fact I don’t get to dress how I like all the time. My company is supportive. If I chose to present this way, they would not have an issue. BUT, the people I work with for 15 years and the industry that I support as a Service Manager would likely not be too welcoming. And to be a productive people Manager, I blend in at work….sad….
I get guilt feelings when I wonder if my supportive spouse is getting the fair end of the deal since she married a “tough guy” and 20-odd years later she has ME now.
I get a number of feelings depending on how I’m doing in my head…
So, I know that you have to limit the choices in a poll like this. But one answer doesn’t really fit.
Thanks!

I do believe that if he has been a gentleman and treated me like a Ladies then at the end of the night a woman will show him how she can treat him right. When Debra is out she is alive.

About a month ago I went a week without a bra and when I put one on I felt so happy. Now I wear mascara and a nude lipstick everyday (even at work) and I feel more like I want to be than even when I dress fully because I’m just being me. I love my femininity in both my dress and my actions/feelings.

I would call it more like comfort, contentment and relaxation. Go way back to when puberty was ravaging my body and I was becoming aware of the sexuality my feminine side was capable of, and extreme excitement was the result. So, most of my life has run the gamut of emotions about myself with some pretty intense self examination the couple of times I have been in counseling.

Another great question! But we can only select one :(. I had to choose elation. But excitement and satisfaction are top choices as I get dressed stepping into panties, hooking my bra and inserting my breast forms, rolling up my tights, and stepping into a slip and dress.

Since I joined CDH in August(and with the help of someone very special)the woman is coming out with gusto and joy. I want more for my inner woman. Very much more!

When I was young I loved dressing but also hated it because I thought I was the only person that did this “wrong” thing and I was so guilty. Then I would vow never to do it again, the dress and love it then hate myself. At the age of 20 and having moved in with my girlfriend I decided to be honest with her and she was great and accepting. Now so many years later if I died I know that at my funeral would be at least ten women who knew I dress as well as some of the men. None hated me or rejected me so I wish that my young self could know that the guilt and sadness were misplaced!

Because most of the time I don’t have long to be ‘Shayla’ there’s some anxiety because I want to explore my ‘femininity’ so much yet my time is so limited.
Overall, I feel sexy and my crossdressing anthem is ‘partition’ by beyonce. I always dance in the mirror dressed up to that song.

This is a very interesting question, because I’ve felt almost all of those feelings at some point on my journey.
When I was younger, I would feel excitement and elation when I dressed.
This would usually be quickly followed by periods of sadness and guilt.
Now that I’ve gotten older and slightly more comfortable with myself, I would say that I agree with Shawn and what I feel most is a sense of contentment. Although, that’s also often accompanied by a sense of longing to be a complete woman.
As for satisfaction, I just can’t get none. Though I try and I try, I just can’t get no satisfaction…

As I voted, I feel excited. Being able to wear the clothing I feel most comfortable wearing is awesome. Wearing a nice dress or skirt with a blouse, pantie, pantyhose and slip feels natural to me. I am not sure why? But it does. It makes me feel that perhaps I should of been born female. Unfortunately, I wasn’t and at my age now, changing things would not probable end well. Had I felt like this, say, before marriage, my life would have been feminly different. But having said that, I still feel great wearing women’s clothes and the natural feeling it brings.

DuchessRegistered On: December 10, 2018Topics: 3Replies: 718Has thanked: 1719 timesBeen thanked: 1943 timesFiona, I can’t just choose ONE of these! Except for “sadness,” I’ve experienced all of these feelings to varying degrees over the years, and still do. But I guess if I had to rate them highest to lowest, “satisfaction” would currently be at the top, contrary to the Stones’ complaint.
“Guilt,” unfortunately, is ever-present and I never could shake it. As I’ve described elsewhere, the unreasonable fear of discovery figures prominently into this, and it is background noise that detracts from the wondrous feelings of being crossdressed.
As Terri says, “excitement” remains, but in ever-diminishing proportion as I get older. Oh, but it was there when I was a young buck… er, doe.
So I’m going to click the “satisfaction” button, even though for me it’s a bit more complicated than that, and we’ll see how the poll goes.

LadyRegistered On: January 3, 2018Topics: 25Replies: 354Has thanked: 482 timesBeen thanked: 1400 timesI chose “none of the above”.
This is a very interesting question, because I’ve felt almost all of those feelings at some point on my journey.
When I was younger, I would feel excitement and elation when I dressed.
This would usually be quickly followed by periods of sadness and guilt.
Now that I’ve gotten older and slightly more comfortable with myself, I would say that I agree with Shawn and what I feel most is a sense of contentment. Although, that’s also often accompanied by a sense of longing to be a complete woman.
As for satisfaction, I just can’t get none. Though I try and I try, I just can’t get no satisfaction…
Hugs,
Elise

Shawn S.
DuchessRegistered On: January 11, 2019Topics: 1Replies: 11Has thanked: 8 timesBeen thanked: 71 timesI voted for satisfaction, but I think content is a better word for me. Dressing is comfortable.
But there’s also a feeling of disappointment. I need new hip pads, a new bra, new breast forms, and more time. And clothes. I need, (OK, I want) new, more fashionable clothes.
Oh, then there’s desire – the desire to go outside my home. This one’s going to take awhile. More acceptance from my wife is first, then finding somewhere to go. I’m close enough to Dallas and Houston that finding where to go and someone to go with shouldn’t be difficult.
I feel all this will come in time, I just wish the time was now.

I started going out enfemme in 1977. When I dressed back then for the first time out I got very excited when I dressed. As the years went by my feelings changed. As I realized that Terri was me I felt more and more comfortable with her. When i found some sense of balance, Terri became more and more real to me and realized that she will always be a part of me. So now when I’m able to become Terri I feel that sense of being myself and feel satisfied for the lack of a better word.

Excitement – Definitely when dressing up, or shopping for new clothes.
Satisfaction – Seeing myself strutting about, lounging in dress.
Elation – See excitement, satisfaction.
Sadness – There’s some, but it’s complicated.
Guilt – Again I’d have to really unpack that one.
Guilt and sadness together make up a small percentage of the excitement and satisfaction I otherwise feel. It’s a positive experience.

Not how does your wife/partner/significant other feel so it doesn’t matter that some of us (me included) are singletons or divorced or whatever.
Mikki’s response was – prima facie – a personal one. Mine is that I don’t feel any of the options listed but rather a sense of peace, calmness and self-fulfillment.
How about you Roxanne? How does dressing’en femme’ make you feel?
