My Husband Wears My Clothes- Crossdressing from the Perspectiv

Crossdressing
I have just received the book today. I am going thru the same. I only read the introduction and the first few pages. It seems to be excellent. I will read it myself and give it to near ones. I cannot give full review at this time.

My Husband Wears My Clothes: Crossdressing from the Perspective of a Wife
I have skimmed through the book but have not read it yet. I am currently reading "My Husband Betty: Love, Sex, and Life with a Crossdresser" written by Helen Boyd, which seems to give more insights into the perspectives of the partners of crossdressing men.

Did not work for me
I bought this book for my wife to read and understand the Crossdressing. The whole purpose was to make her informed about other women living with their CD husbands and accepting them happilly and infact enjoying it mutually. May be I was expecting too much from the book. Initially I attempted to read and after 5-6 pages I gave up reading and thought maybe it will appeal to my wife. Even she could not read more than 3-4 pages and in fact she left the book and never returned to it. Since then this book is in the closet in its original packing and wrapping. I feel the text could have been written better and interesting to at least read few chapters.

Good mainstream book for the CDing community
Excellent book for the traditional couple who has a cding partner. Has contents that the wife will be able to relate to.

How To Make Three from A Perfect Pair
Advice for straight heterosexual mtf (male-to-female) crossdressers and their wives on a one-on-one level, family level, and peripherally, a social one. Guidelines draw help from a mixture of self-affirmation, marriage vows, religion (Christianity), and scientific/psychological case studies. It provides starting points in the map to healing, understanding, and acceptance. Especially poignant is the notion that the crossdressing husband needs to be accepting and patient of his wife's non-immediate acceptance when the news is initially broken. There is an interesting subtext running throughout the book, and that is a "latent" lesbian relationship with a crossdressing husband. Items such as how a husband would reserve his chivalry for other women but treat his wife as if they were girls going out. Dressing during lovemaking is another point that is brought up) I feel there is an innate paradox hinted at here. If a professed heterosexual crossdressing husband is in touch with his feminine side and aspires to be a woman during intimate times, then when you flip it around logically, it would follow that there is a probability that as a straight "girl" he must, at some point, entertain notions about being with a man. As a person who has been in the culture for over thirty years, I can say that I have come across many married crossdressing men at clubs and bars who fervently claim to be heterosexual, and then continue agreeably when propositioned by a man. I feel this book treats this as an unfounded "fear" for a wife of a crossdresser. It is not wholly unfounded. But, it is a starter guide of sorts to wives and their crossdressing hubbies. And as far as guides go, I think it's a pretty good book for acceptance and understanding...and training that man to be more sensitive to the needs of the real woman in the heterosexual marriage. First printed in 1988, I found some references to gay people a little antiquated, some even downright misleading. Homosexual drag queens are portrayed as people who do what they do in order to attract gay men for sexual purposes. That's not entirely accurate. Then in the back of the book: "Crossdressers are transvestites who dress for human fulfillment and not for laughs." I take exception to that, as it places the straight crossdressing male, once again, at the top of the social hierarchy within the trans* community.
