If your partner is putting a skirt on because it is comfy, then he is confused about his sexuality.

Unless you live in Scotland, in which case it would be a kilt and perfectly acceptable dress.

You know that transvestites aren't necessarily gay right? Trousers weren't alway universal and in the west it wasn't until the 1900s that women started wearing them. Today, women in Sudan are being publicly flogged for wearing trousers.

For the record, I find men in kilts sexy. Hoots mon!

What utter rubbish! :rotfl:

As others have pointed out, the Scots wear kilts. Would you like to tell a burly Scottish bloke in a kilt that he's sexually confused?

What about the Romans? Or the tribes where the men wear sarongs? Or the Greek army?

FYI for the whole forum, dressing up in women's clothes has NOTHING to do with your sexuality - gender identity or just wanting to cross dress for fun is entirely separate from who you like.

I dont watch Eastenders

I don't watch extenders either....but in real life I would feel relieved if my partner felt able to share such a need with me. I have had partners with far more unusual "secret" desires....?.its the closeness and trust between us that has been the most positive benefit

This.

The cross-dressing itself wouldn't be an issue but I would wonder why he thought he had to keep it a secret.

Probably afraid he would be laughed at or ridiculed, that the 'secret' might be shared elsewhere. Just as there have been mixed reactions here, without dropping hints and seeing what the reaction would be, it's hard to see in what circumstances he would voluntary 'out' himself as a CD - the risk may be too great!
Maybe a fancy dress party - could lead somewhere.

I'd be more upset if I found hubby secretly watching Eastenders (i loath it) than wearing ladies wear !!

Well my bf already wears women's pjs :rotfl: (in his defense mens are so boring compared to womens, plus he;s a similar size to me so i can steal them )

If he wanted to wear more than that....well....i want him to be happy. And of that made him happy so be it (though knowing him and the area he lives in i doubt he'd ever set foot outside dressed as a woman)

They're just clothes at the end of the day. If that's where it ended then I don't think I'd be too worried.
