The word "heterosexual" entered the Dorland's Medical Dictionary in 1901 as the "abnormal or perverted appetite toward the opposite sex." The "craving" of the opposite sex for any reason other than procreation was not generally accepted and was an unsanctioned practice of the middle class through the early 1900s.
Deciding whether to get married is one of the most important choices you will make in your lifetime. Though there are many new responsibilities that come with making this commitment to the one you love, there are also many benefits that married couples can receive. These perks can make the old ball and chain feel a little lighter.
Most cross dressers can't control the urge to cross dress. They feel they need to dress up as the opposite sex. Often trying to control the urges only makes them worse. However there are some ways to fight the urge to cross dress.
An admission of cross dressing can create a rift between spouses, even when the marriage was formerly secure. In the wake of this news, two people can find themselves unable to relate to one another. If the marriage is to continue, both partners must make a conscious effort to find middle ground. With patience and love, it's possible.
Some men enjoy wearing women's clothing. It doesn't mean he's gay or crazy. Most cross-dressers are normal, heterosexual men with families. Although, it may be difficult to tell the woman you love that you enjoy wearing her clothing, it is something that shouldn't be kept secret. Any relationship built on a lie can eventually crumble.
A cross-dressing parent can feel the need to explain dress preferences to his or her child. This enables the parent to preempt an awkward revelation at an unexpected time; saving both parent and child unnecessary embarrassment. Approach the disclosure carefully, with the child's well-being in mind. Know what you intend to say before attempting to explain cross dressing to your child.
Cross dressing in secret can place a tremendous amount of pressure on a person, which is compounded when a cross dresser is married to an unknowing partner. The decision to tell a spouse about cross dressing is a difficult one, but essential for the marriage to be firmly rooted in honesty.
