Are heterosexual crossdressers more predominant than gay crossdressers?I would like to hear what people have to say about this.Do both groups do it for the same reasons.?

Thanks Dominique1

Its gets very murky, but... common notions have CDs at about 80% straight, but I would guess that in fact the bi % is very high, and no one knows for sure.

Hi Tekla,thanks for getting back to me.Do you think gay cd's use it to lure straight men.

I doubt that 'lure' would be the right word, I'm sure many 'straight' guys have sex with CDs thinking that they are still straight.

But a straight guy would not be having sex with a male cd,would'nt that make him not straight.

As I understand it gay adn straight are terms taht define attraction adn they, like many things, are better expressed on a spectrum (the Kinsey Scale for example).

If a man has sex with a CD because he was attracted to what is being projected (a feminine identity) then no, he's straight. However, if he is attracted to the underlying male then it would seem that gay is more appropriate.

I don't think it is as polar as that though. I think it's possible for many mixtures of both to be found whereby a man may be attracted initially to the female but upon intercourse find the male aspects more attractive.

The mind does not uphold the same barriers that society or even science does.

Hi Chrysalis,thanks for your comments ,I found them very interesting  and helpful.

All of the Drag Queens I know are gay. Drag Queens usually only dress to perform. Lip sync stuff. Mostly bad performances at that. Most crossdressers would prefer to make dressing as a woman a fulltime experience. Also, most crossdressers are straight. Married men with children and still in the closet. e.g. Herbert Hoover was a crossdresser. Damn he must have made an ugly woman. Probably gay crossdressers do not dress to attract men. That could be dangerous. Any guy who picks up a crossdresser may be trying to fool himself into beleiving he is straight. If they pick up a woman with an additional appendage and they are aware of it, must be bi. Or maybe just horny. "Any port in a storm" as they say in the navy.

Correction: J. Edgar Hoover, head of the F.B.I. was a crossdresser. Into feather boas I heard. Herbert Hoover was a president.

Statistics of 1159 crossdressers. Straight-48.4%  Straight,bicurious-23.9%  Bi prefer women-10.1%  Straight with Homosexual experience- 7.2%   Bisexual - 6.6%   Bisexual prefer men- 1.6%  Gay- 1.5%  Gay with Heterosexual Experience- .7%     I found that on google.

Genevieve,those stats mean I am  in a complete minority  at 1.5%.My chances of meeting somebody like me are pretty slim.
Dominique.
P.S. thanks for the stats.

OK let's try again. Straight bicurious 23.9  bi 6.6               Bi Pref men  1.6  Gay 1.5    23.9+6.6+1.6+1.5=33.6%           Over one third. And the curious ones you could easily convert. Be optimistic.

Thanks for the clarification,I do feel more opyimistic now.
Dominique

Your welcome sweety. HUGs, genevieve

Although I've played on the bi-side and enjoyed it, I'd say I'm very straight but also a crossdresser... I'm attracted to feminity I guess...

All I can really add to this, since the numbers are the same ones I've seen, one of the happiest married couples I know is gay, and one of the partners is CD.  They are monogamous, but both are a lot of fun, and the full time guy, treats the other "girl's" in our crowd no matter what their orientation is, like they are princesses and likewise his spouse when he is she. They both joke about being "outed" as a heterosexual couple pretending to be gay.   It can happen.   

Personally, I'm pansexual and don't understand attraction based on genitals at all and so I'm probably not the right person to comment.. but...
I have a friend who has a saying: "I'm probably bisexual, I just haven't met the right man yet."
So even amongst those that profess themselves straight, there could be some of those sort.

You never know..

I'm a cross-dresser who's been married for the last 20+ years. If the woman I'd fallen in love with had been a man, I'd still have fallen in love.

I'm not so much attracted to a person based on their body, but based on the person. Bisexual seems to be the most convenient term, but it doesn't quite cover the whole gender spectrum. Bisexual refers to a binary, which is limiting in regards to what I find sexually attractive.

From what studies I have read about Drag Queens, most are straight.  They do it for the performance pleasure. 

I, as a married bisexual male, have found that my desire for dressing is separate from my sexual desires.  I am visually attracted to the female body over a male body.  Maybe its the clothes they wear.   Being attrated to a person mentally has nothing to do with ones gender or sexual ID. 

I've got five dollars on the gay crossdressers.  They're fierce!!!

Oh.  This thread isn't a "what if they fought", huh?
