Sexual orientation question
How do I know if my spouse identifies as a different gender?
Dressing in the opposite genders clothes (for improv/theater) before we met 6 years ago but has not since. Recently I've discovered all porn sites are females with penis's. I don't know what to think and I feel alone.

Re: Sexual orientation question
Hi Nicole,
There's no way to know why he's doing what he's doing unless he tells you or you find evidence of what he's doing outright.
The porn can be there because he has a porn addiction that has spiraled to this place, he might be a cross dresser for kicks, a guy with gynandromorphophilia, or a full blown autogynephile.
I can only say for certain - I'm so sorry this has entered your life. I am sure it's causing tremendous confusion for you and great distress.
Best to you.
* Autogynephilia is defined as a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female. It is the paraphilia that is theorized to underlie transvestism and some forms of male-to-female (MtF) transsexualism.
** Gynandromorphophilia (GAMP) is attraction to gynandromorphs (GAMs), who are natal males with both breasts and a penis, colloquially known as "she-males."
