There is the common term transvestite fetishism or fetishistic transvestism.


This actually refers to the form of crossdressing, which has the sole purpose of sexual stimulation. This specific classification makes it clear once again that transvestism does not only have a sexual aspect, but is much more diverse.

But this form is not about the expression of a sexual identity. Rather, this variant is practiced by heterosexual men.

Nylon stockings or high heels in particular are components of sexual stimulation.

The form of exercise varies. Some men practice crossdressing secretly, others incorporate it into their sex life. For example in the form of role-playing games.

This form of fetishism, like transvestism itself, is listed as a psychological disorder. He treats him as such again, but only if those affected perceive him as a burden.

This classification is often criticized these days. Mainly because it is more of a sexual orientation and not a disorder.
