Psychology of men who wear dresses.

Why these Christians cross-dress.

posted December 09, 2013 07:07 AM            

The answer to your question is a complex one. The term "cross-dressing" usually refers to a specific niche in the wide spectrum of behaviors involving dress/grooming habits considered "appropriate to the opposite gender" by society.

A transsexual person for example, may dress or modify their physical body to look like the opposite sex. The drive is not generally sexual, as much as it is the intention to match their physical appearance with their psychological gender.

A male transvestite would, on the other hand, wear women's clothing (generally undergarments) because he enjoys how it looks on his male body, how it feels tactically, or even because it makes him feel sexy, dangerous, and attractive (this is generally what people refer to when they mention cross-dressing or someone who is a cross-dresser). There are both gay and straight cross-dressers.

Drag, in comparison to the two previously mentioned subjects, is a form of performance art similar to Geisha or Kabuki. Artists tend to dress in elaborate or provocative costume rather than common clothing of the opposite sex. Drag specifically entails assuming a character (sometimes a celebrity or historical figure) and interacting with others as that character.

All three of the above examples can involve sexual pleasure, but transvestism is the only one that specifically derives sexual pleasure from the act of dressing in clothing of the opposite gender. For example, it is possible for a transsexual male (having transitioned from female to male) could get sexual pleasure from wearing women's underwear. This would make him both a transsexual male and a transvestite (which I imagine are rare, but must exist somewhere). Transsexualism is based more on a feeling of personal well-being and psychological balance by transitioning from one gender to another and drag is simply art.

An honorable mention is gender-bending. This tends to apply to the act of intentionally appearing androgynous. Gender-bending is more of a fashion preference than a sexual fetish, and doesn't specifically require the person to naturally appear androgynous. Performers like David Bowie, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox, Boy George, etc.. are all examples of gender-bending.

I appreciate it. Since you are being so sweet. What would people do at cross dressing parties? Would it be sexual, pretty much.

If it is men, what do they do?

We can talk about sexual things in a tasteful way, here.

I think this is an OK question to ask.

It is like the web descriptions are so woooly that I can't really grasp it.

Thanks again. I know you don't like me too much so it was sweet of you to answer!

1.
wear clothing typical of the opposite sex.
___________________
This is a topic that can be interpreted way too many ways, and mostly erroneously.
And it is not basically about sex.
Google will supply you with all you desire to know beyond the basic innocent vanilla dictionary definition.
Many folks fit the standard basic definition but do not see themselves as cross dressers.
Clothing is non gendered;
it is society which determines that and it varies throughout time and cultures.
I wear mostly male clothing.
I do it totally for comfort and not any kinky sexual interest.
Nor to make some statement.
Women have more freedom than men to wear what they want without being labeled.

I think it would be more appropriate to say a person who dresses in drag would be correctly associated with sexuality because drag is a lifestyle.

As I mentioned previously, it would really depend on your friend's meaning. The term is too generalized for me to offer a definitive answer. I worked at an S&M supply company (along with other sexually focused novelties), so I have a little bit of exposure to fetish terminology and practices. I have never heard the term "cross-dressing party" in the same way someone hears "Dom and Sub" or "PnP Party".

It could actually be something as simple as guys getting together and enjoying the company and acceptance of other men in women's clothing. They could sit around, drinking beer, and watching football. Sort of like a casual support group or meetup.

If you are assuming sex is involved, then they may also have sex with each other or with men and/or women who do not cross-dress, but find it attractive.

If you replace cross-dressing with "puppetry" you still have the same spectrum of possibilities. Some people just love them a nice soft puppet, some people just like the way their hand feels inside a puppet, some people like pretending they are the puppet's character and interacting with others through the puppet, and some people just collect puppets cause that's what their grandpa did. There really isn't a specific protocol.

As for not liking you, it isn't anything personal. I dislike the way you conduct yourself. I don't specifically know you as a person, beyond who you project your self to be here on LL. I can't agree with your statement, because I just don't know you well enough to form that kind of opinion. I know what level of interaction I am comfortable engaging in with you and I attempt not to cross that line.

Btw, it seems both the gay men who cross dress or are attracted to cross-dressers are a small minority. Some who cross dress are straight. Since many don't realize that I thought I'd throw that out there. It's my impression that only a few cross dress out of any erotic reason.

That's true. A lot of cos-players cross dress as well. It's just for fun.

For example:
