Why are so many STR8 men attracted to preop TS??

[nysprod]

What percentage of exclusively gay men do you believe are bottoms by preference??

The 'majority of guys' into TS are bottoms just seems high to me, but I have no clue. By majority do you mean 51% or 75+%??

I have a hard time believing there's a higher percentage of men into TS who prefer to be topped than strictly gay men who are bottoms.

I have no idea about the percentage of gay men who prefer to bottom...60% to 70% of men who are attracted to MTF transsexuals want to bottom at some point although I suspect the vast majority of those are vers, and probably the percentage is higher among men who consistently see TS escorts...again, I have no idea if "there's a higher percentage of men into TS who prefer to be topped than strictly gay men who are bottoms."

This is recent for me, I'm totally str8 and no attraction to dick, don't want anything to do with it. So for me, I just think it's that some of the TS are extremely HOT so they are great to look at it. As far as an actual encounter, I've thought about it but unlikely as all I could do is top....like I said, no dick for me so I would probably lose interest pretty quick if I was expected to handle a cock.

^ But when you look at them - you see the cock?
Just sayin'---

at some point i asked myself honestly if i was gay, but i dont like masculinity. the penis i find sexual, but beyond that, i dont find men attractive. never have, probably never will.

why do i like them? well, porn. i saw it, and at first was confused, but then i was curious.
i dont think it matters why you are attracted, or what you're attracted to. just be yourself.

theres nothing wrong with accepting you find the penis to be sexual, thats just what it is. if you arent gay you arent gay, simple

Non-sequitur, hasn't yet acted out, no relevance.

IME, the majority of "straight" guys attracted to TGs have crossdressing desires or fetishes of their own. It's a way of acting out without taking the plunge themselves, I guess.

Men are visually stimulated. That's why photographic porn is as big as it is. It's why women wear revealing clothing and high heels - they want to attract men. Transwomen seem to know this better than natal women; I believe they have a better sense of how to be alluring to men. And even the straightest man will fall for long eyelashes and a full decolletage, despite the extra part.

As a man, I totally agree with that.

Not my experience. Any time I went looking for crotchless lingerie it was for my partner, either cis or trans girl. I personally have no desire to slip into them or to become a TG myself. Two of my friends who frequent TG's feel the same. Then again who knows, I never asked them to strip down so I could do a Victoria's Secret check. As far as fetishes go, doesn't everyone have some kind or another?

Well said!
One day - take the plunge and it will answer a lot of your questions.
It's not wrong - one of life's journey's.
AND - If you do and don't like it - DON'T beat yourself up over trying.
All good!

I have fetishes (you probably figured it out from my name on here, lol), and I think that is a part of my attraction to TS. I had fetishes before I ever knew what a TS person was. But, I get turned on by the fact that some tgirls get turned on by wearing the clothes I like to see them in. That some of them share my fetish from the other "side", so to speak. I think that's the biggest difference between TS and genetic, even bigger than their genitals. I never felt a desire to be a woman or dress as one. I think the gender you identify with does not necessarily determine who you find attractive.
