I'm not sure how much I can add at this point, but I wanted to share my experiences and opinions. Regina mentioned the "do me" male subs and pointed out the similarity of some cross dressing subs. Though I'm new to the scene I have noticed throughout my time lurking, both off the internet and on, that there is a breed of people who are demanding to the point of being manipulative or abusive in fulfilling their fantasies. Nothing new there. This manifests in both men and women, top and bottom, though for instance a female sub may be simply dismissive of the dom that doesn't fulfill her fantasy exactly as she wishes, where as there are many men who will try to coerce the person into doing what they want. In other words, cross dressing submissives don't have the corner on the market. In interacting with cross dressing men there are a few popular themes: The Slut, The Sissy, and The Girl. The Slut is the one you seen in gawdy clothing and make-up, who is not only a man pretending to be a woman, but a woman who loves sex and gets it any way she can. This seems to be a very popular one. The Sissy is the one that I would most commonly relate to the Freudian psychology approach that LadyEllen mentioned, which is to say humiliation revolving around being ashamed at not being as masculine as a man "should" be and further shame at loving that feeling. The Girl simply got the message early on that she should've been a girl, that he didn't fit the mold of what a man was, and internalized it without too much trauma (it's all relative, of course). What I've noticed is that The Slut and The Sissy tend to be the most demanding in fulfilling their fantasies as a result of the source of their fetish being the desire for approval, or the reception of disapproval and sanctions, in peers or parental figures. They need a partner to fulfill that fantasy, where as The Girl can find hundreds of unknowing partners simply by walking down the street in her latest outfit (experiencing sanctions or simply recognition as a female by dressing as one). Of the three, "The Girl" is the least common in my opinion and the most emotionally balanced (all very relative). I would equate her with the male who lives as a woman, or yearns to. I'm not sure if anyone cares about any of all that, but those are my observations. There is not one type of cross dressing submissive, and there certainly aren't only three: these are just the most common themes I see in artwork and interactions. To address Madame4a's questions, what I want from a domme who is asking me to cross dress, or indulging my desire to cross dress, is simply that they enjoy it. The more they love it, the happier I am. It isn't about humiliation for me, somethign I detest, and even though I might be horribly embaressed to go out into public in a dress (I wouldn't pass), take into consideration that if I was wearing assless chaps and a biker's cap I'd be equally humiliated and dislike it just as much. So, you might tuck me into the category of "The Girl" since the more positive recognition my feminine side gets, the more fun I have. That being said, I've never actually had a partner I could do this with. =P tl;dr: No matter what kind of submissive you're dealing with, or what kink, what will have the most drastic affect on the pleasure derived from the scene is going to be how much those involved genuinely enjoy what they're doing. Also, humiliation is not the only reason men cross dress.
