What Does CD Mean Sexually? Understanding Crossdressing Sex Appeal

There’s something I’ve been meaning to chat about that I think you’ll find interesting.

Ever wonder what it means when someone refers to themselves as “CD” in a sexual context?

No lie, I used to be confused by that term too. Do you mean to tell me, “CD” is more than just a fashion statement?

Yes! CD (crossdressing) is used in various areas. Today, let’s dig into why some people find crossdressing sex tempting.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced crossdresser or just a curious cat.

As long as you want to learn more, you’ll enjoy this glimpse into the appeal of men who dress like women behind closed doors.

It’s a fascinating side of sexuality that honestly deserves more open discussion.

Crossdressing and Sexuality

Crossdressers, abbreviated CDs, are those who wear clothes opposite of their gender assigned at birth.

CDs’ motivations to crossdress are assorted.

But for this context, when I say “MtF CDs,” I’m referring to crossdressers who participate in the activity to explore their sexual needs or grant themselves sexual pleasure.

For many crossdressers like myself, putting on feminine clothes and makeup is an erotic experience.

It’s not my main goal when I first started crossdressing. But it’s something I can’t just pass up on.

Some CDs add crossdressing into their sex lives with a partner. Others like dressing up alone.

An Upgrade to Sexuality

You may ask: Why do you like crossdressing? In the first place, I crossdressed to explore my feminine side.

That feminine side includes my sexuality— something I can’t easily tap into my everyday life. It’s the same for CDs.

Sexuality includes the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that attract us to other people.

It may be physical or emotional. Either way, it’s personal— a crucial part of us that we can’t simply ignore.

Needless to say, not all crossdressers look at it in a purely sexual way.

For many, wearing feminine clothing is an expression, a way to manifest their identity in a tangible way.

Still, sexuality and identity are closely intertwined for most.

At its most basic form, MtF crossdressing highlights femininity in all its forms.

Why is Crossdressing Sexy?

I ask back: What makes crossdressing un-sexy? Silk stockings, realistic breasts with lacy bras — what’s not to love?

If women are the embodiment of sexiness, then crossdressers are worshippers of womanhood.

It takes immense effort to emulate the female form, not to mention female movements and voices.

Other reasons why CDs find crossdressing sexy are as follows:

The Unlimited RP Excitement

When I crossdress for sexual purposes, I can pretend, for a little while, that I’m someone else.

Maybe I’m a sexy secretary or a wild, flirty girl at the club.

These roleplaying scenarios fuel my fantasies and lead me to intense orgasms.

But masturbation and sex are repetitive. Foreplay. Sex. Orgasm.

If you follow the same formula, they get boring… fast. What can you do? Be creative.

Creativity is crossdressing’s middle name. Crossdressing makes it possible to adopt endless personalities to play around with.

With these new personalities, they can be as close or as far from your real one.

For CDs in relationships, sharing this side of ourselves with an accepting partner surely builds intimacy.

Imagine teasing your lover with a strict, garter belt-wearing professor one day.

Then crossdress as a coy, bubble-butt nurse the next. I assure you, that your exciting lovemaking will never waver.

The Forbidden Fruit Effect

Ah, the Forbidden Fruit Effect — human’s tendency to copy our ancestor, Eve.

It’s being lured to something more when we’re told not to. It’s the allure of “sin.”

Why this phenomenon exists explains why we’re humans. We know it’s bad, dangerous even.

But we still do it because it makes us feel more powerful than the next, law-abiding person.

That’s why we didn’t fault Britney Spears when she confessed, “Mama I’m in love with a criminal.”

It’s the same for sex. The more society tells us something is wrong, the more we want to “check” if it’s indeed wrong.

Like BDSM, crossdressing falls under this label.

If you’re to pick between the good ol’ vanilla missionary or doing the pose with your partner crossdressed, what would you like to try?

The Freedom of Choice

Crossdressing isn’t just about innovative sex scenes or willful sin-making.

What makes it truly sexy is the discovery that you’re in charge.

You have the authority to choose whatever the hell you want to wear!

So, if CDs pick women’s clothing to connect with their bodies in an intimate new way, no one should fault them for it.

Crossdressing Sex Appeal: Benefits

No new CD fully understands why it appealed to them sexually.

When it was my turn, I was simply too horny and lazy to take off my crossdressing outfit before doing the do with my lover.

That became my reckoning though. I understood why many love crossdressing sex.

It’s not just the physical arousal too.

Psychological and Emotional Advantages

Some positive psychological effects that crossdressing offers include:

• Sense of Power: Crossdressing pushes you to welcome your femininity— something men are expected to suppress.

It redefines what freedom means as you gain power over your identity.

• Authentic Expression: Wearing clothes that align with your internal identity, regardless of biological sex, allows for more authentic self-expression. This boosts confidence and self-esteem.
• Increased Confidence: As CDs become more comfortable with their chosen form of expression, confidence increases over time, too.

With confidence comes less fear of judgment.

• Improved Body Image: The confidence you reap from crossdressing spills over to how you view your body.

CDs own their sexuality and appreciate their body more. The clothes you choose are props to loving yourself.

Social and Relationship Benefits

Specific ways crossdressing can benefit both romantic and non-romantic relationships include:

• Increased communication: Talking about your desires and interests openly is good practice for communicating about other sensitive topics.

This improved communication extends to other areas of the relationship.

• More intimacy: Dressing up together is lots of fun. It’s a very intimate experience that brings partners physically and emotionally closer.
• Acceptance and understanding: When your partner accepts this part of your identity, it shows you they value and love you for you— no matter how cheesy that might sound. Their understanding will ease any shame or doubt you may feel.
• Playfulness: Crossdressing as a couple can be a source of laughter and joy that enriches your relationship in positive ways.

This lighthearted nature counterbalances more serious aspects of life.

Exploring Different Forms of Crossdressing

CDs’ creativity goes beyond the bedroom. They can express themselves in various forms too.

For me, it depends a lot on my mood and motivation. Sometimes I feel like dressing up in an overtly feminine and cutesy way.

Other times, I choose a more neutral or androgynous fashion.

Drag

Drag is all about an overly feminine alter ego. It’s a chance for CDs to glam it up to the max.

The makeup, hair, and outfits are meant to be flashy and striking.

Drag is for CDs who want to hog the spotlight.

Cosplay

Cosplay, or “costume play,” involves dressing up as characters from movies, TV shows, video games, anime, or comics.

Here, CDs take on the persona of any character they want. The accuracy and detail of the costumes are necessary.

Fetish

This one’s the most connected to CDs engaged in sexual aspirations.

Go dress in skimpy lingerie or in a sissy maid’s outfit to arouse a partner or as part of roleplay.

This type of erotic crossdressing taps into fantasies of submission, power dynamics, or taboo scenarios.

Crossdressing Sex: Stereotypes and Misconceptions

I hope for the day when we can skip over this section. But alas!

There are still ongoing CD stereotypes that just won’t go away.

We’re not all secretly gay

Since we like women’s clothing, CDs must all be homosexual, yes?

Wrong. While some crossdressers do identify as gay, many of us are straight or bisexual.

Remember that sexual orientation and crossdressing can be completely separate parts of one’s identity.

We’re not doing this for sexual gratification

All crossdressing must be sexually motivated. Another X!

While some do find it arousing, many CDs appreciate crossdressing for promoting unrestrained self-expression.

I personally don’t get turned on by wearing women’s clothes.

CDs use it to tap into a creative, performative part of themselves.

It can be a form of art and a way to work through complex feelings about gender and identity.

We don’t all want to be women

Some people think that all crossdressers secretly want to transition to become trans women.

While some crossdressers are trans, most don’t experience gender dysphoria and identify as their assigned gender.

Crossdressing Sex: Support and Resources

As someone who enjoys crossdressing, finding communities where I feel accepted and supported has been crucial to embracing this side of my sexuality.

Online, I’ve connected with others like me in forums and social networks.

We share stories, offer advice, and normalize what is still considered taboo for many.

Offline, support groups provide a safe space to dress up, socialize, and build friendships.

Online Communities

Websites like Roanyer, and r/Crossdressing offer discussion forums. Read blogs, ask questions, share experiences, and feel less alone.

On social media, hashtags like #crossdressing, #mtf, and #cdconnect help you find new friends and connect over shared interests.

While some spaces are more sexually focused, others provide general support. Find the right balance for you.

Local Support Groups

In-person meetups arranged through local Facebook crossdressing groups or organizations are great for meeting people.

Just practice safety measures. Local kink and BDSM communities may also have crossdressing-focused get-togethers or play parties.

Conclusion

The world of crossdressing may seem mysterious if you’re not familiar with it.

My hope is that this article made you appreciate the CD culture a bit more.

We all express our sexuality in different ways. But underneath the outfits, we’re all just humans seeking connection and intimacy.

Personally, I say embrace what turns you on.

As long as it’s safe, sane, and consensual, go all out!

If approached it with care, crossdressing sex doesn’t only add spice, it also binds you closer to yourself or your lover.

So go on, try and see where it’ll take you!

FAQs

What does “CD” mean?

CD stands for “crossdresser.” It refers to a person, typically a male, who dresses in clothing for the other sex.

CD’s have various reasons to crossdress.

Note that their sexual orientation and gender don’t have to be directly connected to crossdressing.

What should I expect if I date a CD?

Dating a crossdresser can be a lot of fun. But expect that it’s different than what you might be used to.

A huge part of your experience will depend on your CD partner’s preferences.

For me, when I’m dressed up, I prefer using female pronouns.

Just remember that your CD partner is still the same person you know and care about.

They’re just expressing themselves in a different way.

The most important thing is to keep an open mind, be respectful, and communicate your feelings.

Do CDs want to transition?

Not necessarily. For many CDs like myself, crossdressing is a way to express our feminine side, but we are content living as male most of the time.

We value our male identities and relationships.

Some CDs are also transgender and desire to transition to living full-time as female.

It ultimately comes down to your own personal identity and what feels right for you.
