The CD gets to pick Rock, Paper or Scissors.
The SO doesn't get to pick; she is naturally either Rock, Paper or Scissors. Either CDing will really turn her off (Rock); CDing will really turn her on (Paper); or she could take CDing or leave it (Scissors).
If you win, you and your SO live happily ever after. If you lose, you make good friends with a divorce attorney.
Good analogy, Steffi! How is the CD to know whether honesty will preserve a marriage--or wreck it?
The trouble is that even trying to explore the topic beforehand with an SO might raise suspicions. "Why do you so often make remarks about crossdressers?"
With my mother, it might have been OK. After she'd seen stage performances, I remember her saying more than once: "I do think it's funny when men dress up as ladies, don't you?" I imagine she would have been accepting, if my father had been a crossdresser--which he wasn't. (As far as I know!) She dropped clues of her own about her possible attitude.
But I don't suppose most wives do. And some, like that past girlfriend of mine I've mentioned here before. dropped negative clues all over the place. She was Rock, for sure. Had I stayed with her, I would have been deep in the closet forever. Luckily I didn't, and my wife of forty years was Paper.

Honesty, yes.
There was a young lady of Kent
Who always said just what she meant.
People said "She's a dear!
So unique! So sincere!"
- But they shunned her by common consent!
