I thought it would be helpful to compile a list of good beginning steps for those who want to give up crossdressing (or other autogynephilic related behaviors) for good. This is just a starting point for those who wish to stop crossdressing completely. Stopping...

One thing I believe most of us realize sooner or later, whether ex-crossdressers, or those still stuck in the addiction, is that the addiction goes beyond actual crossdressing. Crossdressers are not only sexually turned on by the image or the thrill of crossdressing,...

In this post, I am going to talk about how crossdressing can easily become idolatry. Of course I do not refer to consciously worshipping crossdressing. I mean idolatry in the sense of putting something else as a god in your life, in the same way that money or power...

In overcoming an addiction like crossdressing, trans porn, or sissy hypnosis, honesty is more important than sobriety. This is something that I stress with my accountability partners. You can’t help yourself or get help from others unless you are first honest....

For most of us who crossdressed in the past, there was some conditioning going on. We desired to crossdress, but the more we engaged in it, the more we desired it. We got some sexual pleasure from crossdressing at first, but the more we crossdressed, the more pleasure...

Struggling with autogynephilia or transvestic fetishism can take different forms. It does not always involve real women’s clothing. Sometimes, perhaps most of the time, it is actually an issue of our heads and our hearts. The most common way of acting on our...

Over the years, God has used me to counsel many men who were addicted to pornography, both guys addicted to trans porn or guys struggling with regular heterosexual porn. I have found that there are actually a lot of similarities between struggling with autogynephilia,...
