If it is your first time to visit Korea, you will be shocked to find out that quite many Korean couples are wearing same design, color, or brand of t-shirts, shoes, caps, and even underwear. By wearing same or similar clothes, they might be able to show off how
deep their love is, and how strong bond they have with each other. It could be regarded as a cute phenomenon. However, it could also be interpreted as another way of expressing the Transvestism or Transvestic fetishism which is having a sexual or erotic interest in cross-dressing. Some male transvestic fetishists collect women's clothing, e.g. nightgowns, slips, and other types of nightwear, lingerie, stockings, pantyhose, high-heels, and boots, items of a distinct feminine look and feel. They may dress in these feminine garments and take photographs of themselves while living out their secret fantasies.

Homoevestism is one of the transvestic fetishism related symptoms, and homoevestites feel sexual arousal in response to donning sex-typical clothing particularly.
According to the mental health professional handbook, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition, which is also called DSM-IV, transvestic fetishism is defined as one of the prarphilias. The paraphilias are a group of mental disorders characterized by obsession with unusual sexual practices or with sexual activity involving non-consenting or inappropriate partners, such as children or animals. The essential feature of transvestic fetishism is recurrent intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies involving dressing in clothing associated with members of the opposite sex. The key difference between transvestic fetishism and other forms of paraphilias is that most men who have transvestic fetishism do not have any problems with their assigned sex, in other words, occurrence of transvestic fetishism is uncorrelated to occurrence of gender identity disorder. A diagnosis of transvestic fetishism is made only if an individual has acted on these urges or is markedly distressed by them. In other systems of psychiatric classification, transvestic fetishism is considered a sexual deviation.
The basis for a transvestic fetish is obtaining sexual gratification by dressing in clothing appropriate for the opposite sex. The cause may be adolescent curiosity. A person with a transvestic fetish may not be aware of its roots. Transvestic fetishism sometimes begins when a young boy dresses up in the clothes of an older sister or his mother. The ac
tivity is continued because it is enjoyable but the reasons for the enjoyment remain unconscious. In other cases a boy's mother may initiate the cross-dressing by dressing him as if he were a girl. This behavior is sometimes related to the mother's anger at men or to a preference for having daughters rather than sons.
One of many psychiatric explanations about the cause of transvesitc fetish is related to castration anxiety. A boy who feels castration anxiety will try to hide his masculinity by wearing female garments, and more interestingly, later he will even identify himself with his mother by doing so. The video clips that I posted on this blog shows one boy who just has realized his strong urge to wear same t-shirt with his girl friend and even with his mother. And later he has realized the root of his unconscious transvestic fetishism has started from his childhood, when his mother put a hair band on his head as if he were a girl.
