Over a 6-year period, 106 women involved with men who cross-dress (mostly heterosexual transvestites) completed a questionnaire regarding themselves, their male partners, and their relationships. Interview data supplemented these questionnaires for 75% of the respondents. All respondents were recruited from nonclinical settings. The "modal" female partner was a 40-year-old Protestant, Caucasian woman, who was a firstborn child, in her first marriage. She was more likely than other women her age to be childless, and to have earned at least a 2-year college degree. She was no more likely to have had lesbian experiences or substance use problems than comparably aged American women. She had been married to her cross-dressing mate for 13 years and had known of his activities for 9 years. A quarter of women reported at least occasional sexual arousal to their mate's cross-dressing. The two variables associated with low acceptance of cross-dressing were discovery of their partner's cross-dressing after marriage and lack of sexual arousal to cross-dressing stimuli. Low acceptance was unrelated to firstborn status, amount of exposure to cross-dressing activities, or having had children. This group may be more representative of women in relationships with cross-dressing men than previous reports limited to cross-dressers and spouses who are in treatment.
在6年的时间里，106名与穿异性服装的男性（大多是异性恋异装癖者）交往的女性完成了一份关于她们自己、她们的男性伴侣以及她们之间关系的问卷。75%的受访者的访谈数据补充了这些问卷。所有受访者均从非临床环境中招募。“典型”的女性伴侣是一名40岁的新教白人女性，是家中长女，处于第一次婚姻中。与同龄女性相比，她更有可能没有孩子，并且至少拥有两年制大学学位。与同龄美国女性相比，她有女同性恋经历或物质使用问题的可能性并不更高。她与她的异装癖伴侣结婚13年，知道他的行为已有9年。四分之一的女性报告说，她们至少偶尔会因伴侣的异装行为而产生性唤起。与对异装行为接受度低相关的两个变量是婚后发现伴侣的异装行为以及对异装刺激没有性唤起。接受度低与长女身份、接触异装行为的频率或是否有孩子无关。与之前仅限于接受治疗的异装癖者及其配偶的报告相比，这组女性可能更能代表与异装男性交往的女性。
