How can you stop the cross dress behavior?

You are in control, you are superhuman:

If you want to stop it great! but the problem is the deepness of it. Think of yourself as a superhuman, you can control yourself... you are the brain, without you there's nothing. This sensation creeps up right, you want to ignore it but you cant, the sensation takes over. This is the chance for you to experiment right? well yes and no, if you want to stop then you can, too many people say that it's hard-wired to the brain, but that's slightly negative right. It depends who you are, are you willing to change, are you strong enough to fight this... the answer is YES, think positive not negative, you as a superhuman are in control, so what are you waiting for, the next time this sensation creeps up Fight it, that is if you want to =P and if you cant well you can, but don't feel down, take control.

You are in control, not the sensation. Dont learn to accept it, learn to control it:

It's easy and hard but you can do it, affterall you are human and this world is your sandbox, make life yours not an addiction, Fight it, Keep at it, stay strong.

No you cannot stop crossdressing ever. You can stop for a short period but the desrie is to much for you to stop forever. Think of it this way-it is not that you want to crossdress it is that you have to crossdress, like you have to eat or breath. You may receive sexual pleasure from crossdressing (most males do even if they say they do not) but it is your wiring in your brain that makes you have to do this. Some boys or men can put on a complete females clothing from panties and bra to stockings and a dress and high heels and they will not be aroused but then there are the few that even the thought of wearing a female clothing will get them going. My sugestion is that you embrace your crossdressing desries and welcome them like a hobby. I sugggest you buy and wear only the most sioky soft panties, lacy sexy bras, slippery slips and silk or polyester dress. Very silky smooth stockings with a satin garter belt and high heels. If you can put on makeup and pass as a female then do so and go out alot looking and acting like a woman. If you cannot pass as a female wear full makeup and lipstick anyway at home. Fix your hair like a girls or wear a wig. Shave your legs and under arms. Spend as much time as a female as possible so satify your needs but do be careful-crossdressing is very addicting and the sexual rush one gets from this activity can be even worst than adiction to drugs-be prepared to not be able to stop. I still get aroused by my crossdressing and I live as a female now 24/7 and have for 3 years and not a day goes by when I do not soil 8 to 10 pairs of panties.
