Wither Straight Cross-dressers?

[Y_Diner]

I love this place. The underlying...niceness, especially the GLBT Chatter branch, is really rare in the online universe.

I'm on crossdressers.com as well (under another name) primarily for a different perspective than one finds here. Based on my observations, the mix of sexual orientations on those forums roughly matches that of the population in general, with perhaps a higher percentage of bisexual or bi-curious folks. Many there would say they are straight regardless of the fact that they dress, though some would admit that they had previously identified as such but would consider being with a man under certain circumstances (often but not always when dressed). Also - just as an observation - I get the impression that a large minority of crossdressers there are of the so-called 'fetishistic' variety - that dressing is a (hetero)sexually-charged act for them. Others identify as CDs but will eventually transition. There are some gay crossdressers, but not many. So there's quite a mix of people there. As most people acknowledge that gender identity and sexual orientation are relatively unrelated, I see no difficulty with men identifying as straight while still wearing clothes that are considered feminine.

cd or just nylon fetish...

Sexual preference is not extremely important...but i enjoy seeing the men in panties and nylons.

I guess I am one...not interested in men, just want my boobs to be worshipped by women...preferably wrapped in a nice bra...

Please accept, for the moment anyway, my opinion/definition that if you are male, and are sexually interested in cocks, you are NOT straight. Yes, I'm including those who have never acted on this desire...

But my question is, with that definition in the background, is there even such a thing as a straight cross dresser? A lot of women seem to think/hope that is the case, and I think some totally straight guys that are non-judgemental also think that. But do such guys even exist?

I started out thinking that the dressing up was great and sexually exciting in and of itself, and that had nothing to do with my desire for women. But that soon proved not true...the moment a guy came over to play dress up....

So, are there even really such people, or is this an elaborate 'beard' myth?

I mostly agree, except, I suppose I would replace "large minority" with "majority." Whether they admit it or not.
I am also over there mostly an occasional poster, as I am here. I don't fit in with the fetish dressers. I get many of my CD girl acquaintences upset as I don't socialize much with them. To me dressing isn't an occasion to go out an party...dressing is what you do after you take a shower. I'm just trying to live my life. Sure, going out on occasion is fun, but it's not the reason to dress.

I find too much of that there and among friends on FB.

I just continue to think that there are lots and lots of guys who are in denial in one way or another over their sexuality. My favorite latest example comes from a Craigslist ad I just read:
---
I'm not gay but my mouth LOVES Cock

message say it all. I am a married cocksucker who luvs 2 suck slow and all the way deep. Luv feeling my throat stretch . Haven't had fun with another guy in a while and anxious to meet U. Invite me over!!!I have not sucked cock in 2 months and super hungry. 1 or more would be great. I miss the feeling of cum dripping down my face not to mention the awesome feeling. I prefer to suck cocks that are 7.5 plus as I LOVE the feeling of a big cock sliding down my throat but will suck smaller! Race always open!!Invite me over!

---

Now there's some serious proof that Denial is more than a river in Egypt!

For argument's sake, momentarily reclassify all of these conflicted folks as bi, and how many non-bi CD's are left???

I have read through this with interest, because I still view myself as a straight cd, and have had to turn down a few offers to contact or meet because they were from men. I have explored in role play online with a tgirl but it didn't work for me.

I have no interest in or attraction to cock, but I love pussy! I have no wigs or makeup and rarely go as far as a bra and fake boobs ( though my skinny frame does let me get away with it). I just love the sensual feel of nylons, of panties, of the swish of a skirt instead of the constraints of trousers. Even today as I work alone in my office I chose leggings and ballet pumps but... I cannot wear in public.

Friends and family would not understand, never mind work colleagues, so my travel and private time are used for my fun. I am chatting with four different women who know about this, none are my SO. I have met and had fun with one, another sends me her clothes to wear, and all are attracted by the idea, which is the best thing for me.

One tgirl has expressed interest in my cock, and that has caused me to stop and think. I am likely to see if I can enjoy this, but they are very convincing and that feels important - it has to look like a woman is sucking me for me to get hard, and if her cock is visible I am likely to droop very fast.

Am I a straight cd? I think so

This. This is why I dress. I need to express physically what I feel spiritually. I don't know if that makes sense, but I need to feel feminine on the outside because I feel so strongly feminine inside.
