Transvestism & Love, Sex and Porn Addiction
Transvestism
A transvestite uses clothing as a sexual stimulant or fetish.
This is not to be confused with sex addiction unless the
person feels experiences it as such.
Women are not usually considered to be
transvestites, probably because society allows them to
dress in most masculine styles…
References to cross-dressing can be found throughout history.
King Henry
III of France cross-dressed publicly and wished to be
addressed and treated as a woman. Joan of Arc wore her
So of these male transvestites enjoy playing a
female role by dressing as women hair
short and preferred to dress as a man. Most transvestites
are heterosexual men who dress in women's
clothes, often starting in adolescence. When not cross-dressed,
the transvestite usually exhibits masculine behavior
and interests.
Although some clinicians have contended that
tranvestism and trans-sexualism are basically similar,
there are a number of differences between these two
conditions. Transsexuals desire to change their genitals
and live as members of the opposite sex. They do not
experience sexual arousal when cross-dressing. Transvestites,
on the other hand, become sexually aroused when
cross-dressing but continue to identify themselves as
members of their biological sex~
A male transvestite gave this explanation for his
behavior in a letter to his wife.
The personal masculine attributes that first attracted
you to me are, as you know, an integral part of my
personality just as my transvestism is. It has always
been a part of me.
. . .
We are only make-believe
girls, and we know always that we are really men, so
don't worry that we are ever dissatisfied with
manhood, or want to change forever into a woman.
When we are dressed in feminine clothes and attain
as close a resemblance as possible to a real girl, we do
certainly pretend that we are girls for that short
time, but it is a pretense and definitely not a reality.
-(Prince, 1967, pp. 80-81)
An unusual study of a nationwide sample of transvestites
provided comprehensive descriptions of their
behavior, and attitudes (Bentler and Prince, 1969,
1970).
Compared with a non-transvestite group, the
transvestites were more inhibited in their interpersonal
relationships, less involved with other individuals, and
more independent. In general, they gave evidence of
being less able to seek sympathy, love, and help from
others and seemed to be happier when they felt no
obligations to others.
However, in many areas of person
ality they
did not differ significantly from non-transvestites.
Writers have emphasized several perspectives
psychodynamic processes, conditioning, and biological
predisposition-in discussing transvestism (Many clinicians
believe that transvestism develops in & context of
disturbed parent-child relationships). Others see it as a
product of aberrant psycho-sexual development. Behaviorists
see it as a conditioned response that is susceptible
to aversion therapy in which dressing in women's clothing
is paired with an aversive stimulus.
Behavioral training aimed at fostering confidence and adequacy in
a conventional sex role has also been suggested. J
L Covert sensitization seems to be particularly useful
in treating transvestism and other sexual disorders. In
this procedure clients are first asked to imagine as vividly
as possible the sexually arousing behavior that they
are trying to eradicate, and to follow these thoughts
with equally vivid aversion imagery (for example, being
discovered and embarrassed. This approach was used
for a 31-year-old transvestite, a married police officer
who sought help for uncontrollable urges to dress in
women's clothing and appear in public. The client had
a Io-year history of transvestism that had begun when
he was discharged from the Marine Corps. His wife had
threatened to divorce him because of his cross-dressing.
In treatment, he was asked to form images of deviant
sexual scenes as well as aversive images of their undesirable
consequences.
The following is an example of the
material used in this covert sensitization.
You are in your house alone and you are feeling
lonely. You get the urge to put on the clothing so you
enter the bedroom and open the closet. You begin to
get aroused as you decide what to wear. As you put
on the clothing you can see the colors and feel the
clothing on your hands. You really are turned on as
you put on the bra panties nylons wig. You feel like
playing with yourself as you apply your makeup but
you can't wait to go out. As you leave the house you
get very excited. You are touching your penis through
the panties as you’re driving.
And then you hear sirens! The police pull you over
and it’s your fellow policemen. They stay to laugh
and call for other police cars. A crowd is gathering
and they know you're a man. The officers throw you
around and take you to the station. The women are
disgusted and the chief will take your gun and
badge. You are humiliated) and they call you "side,"
Your kids are crying as they return from school
because others tease them about having a perverted
father. Look what you've done to yourself!
-(Brownell and others, 1977, pp. 1147-1148).
Figure 8-13 shows the average percentages of full
erection (measured by penis circumference) during a
baseline period, during covert sensitization, and upon
follow-up. The figure also shows self-reported changes
in sexual arousal to transvestite stimuli. Both the physiological
and self-report measures revealed a sizable decrease
in sexual arousal. In addition, physiological and self-reported arousal in response to heterosexual stimuli
increased. The client, who had received prior treatment
for his sexual difficulties, was surprised at the effectiveness
of the covert sensitization.
For some transvestites, it is not the clothes themselves
that are exciting, but rather the ability to fool the
public and be taken for a woman. One transvestite was
asked if he would feel happier if social custom allowed
people to dress as they wished in public.
"Heavens no, he smiled. Merely to be allowed to
wear women' clothes in public is nothing. It is the
challenge of being so much like a woman that no one
knows but a man that turns me on. The combination
of doing something that I want to that every one says
is impossible and is forbidden anyway produces in me
an arousal which because it is in a sexual context
becomes sexual arousal."
-(Gosselin and Wilson, 1980, p. 67)
