My personal opinion - no data to support it - is most men that enjoy some level of crossdressing is because their love of the female body/form and are hetero and do so for sexual pleasure.
That’s the “autogynephilia” theory -
Autogynephilia is a debunked blanket theory for what motivates cross dressing and mtf transgenderism - defined as a male's sexual arousal at the thought of himself as a female.
The trouble with the theory is that it is reductive of individuals’ motivations and was promoted as a form of mental illness.
It may be true that many otherwise straight men are into cross dressing specifically for sexual gratification, but it is not a universal motivation for all CDs and TG people.
Some of us genuinely feel more comfortable presenting as more feminine than social norms allow for.
I suggest that many women are sexually attracted to their own femininity, just as some men are attracted to their own masculinity. It’s not a mental illness just because it is not what most people consider normal.
Personally, my interests are fluid and all over the place. I’m quite kinky now but I was into CDing long before I had any interest in anything sexual, so while the self-attraction thing may be part of my motivation it definitely isn’t the whole motivation.
