This is kind of hard to talk about. My boyfriend likes to dress up in my clothes for sexual pleasure. Is this normal? We both talk about it and it is okay with me but is this a sign that something is wrong? Thank you for you time.

Some guys find it enjoyable and/or arousing to dress in female clothes or underwear (one famous example is the stand-up comedian Eddie Izzard).

This is called "transvestitism" or "cross-dressing", and it's quite common. Nowadays, people are starting to accept that this is just an interest or fantasy some people have, and that it's not a "sickness" of any kind.

It doesn't mean anything about his gender identity or sexual orientation - most guys who cross-dress identify as straight and male.

So as long as you're both comfortable with this, there's no problem .
