Would you be upset if your OH went on a website showing pictures of women's breasts?

And then linked it on an internet forum so everyone else can admire them?

Because (and I know it's bad form to link to other MN threads) there is a thread elsewhere on this site linking to men's penises and everyone is rating them.

Difference if men did it? Or am I just being prudish?

Penises aren't pretty, but are breasts or vulvas? You can check 'em all on that Embarrassing Bodies site. I really don't see any point in commenting on isolated body parts; we all ought to know what it takes to make a complete human body. If you've got one where all the parts more or less function properly, it's something to be thankful for. And if you happen to see another one, you may as well appreciate it. Or just take it for granted.

I feel sorry for hetero males if they get "eaten with desire" at every glimpse of boob, bum, fanjo

you might want to see somebody about that, CM

thanx for agreeing with me all4u
it actually brings me onto more serious talk, more feminist talk, i dont think women really appreaciate the affect their bodies have on men.
in an evolutionary sense they do, from the more time women spend on their wardrobe and looks .
but the way men react to female nudity is responsable for many problems , burquas for instance, if the female body is that powerful , "better cover it before she corupts us all"
or the fact so many witches were burnt in the 1700's , if a woman only has to undress to make a man feel different what other powers might she have ?
the victorians covering table legs up ETC.

in contrast a woman might giggle when she see's a dick, but she isnt eaten with desire even it it does have a bowtie!

Chairman, wouldn't say I was mad for phalus but remember how aroused I was when I wanted to have babies.

thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:38

pleased to hear that enimmead, but penises arnt pretty, hope you see one with a pair of dark glasses and a bow tie, slightly more presentable, you know.

A double negative - sorry :)

I have not had the opportunity to go into a sauna as you describe. So no ogling for me.

chairmanmeow - gr8 tag! - you've made the point yourselfHmm Men and women look at these things differently ergo it should not/cannot be treated as equivalent!

Chair - I have to say I get a certain reaction when I see a penis. But that's as much as I'm willing to go into :)

Chairman thanks for your answer. I'm thinking of the response to the David Beckham poster a few years ago, him in underwear and not sure they were just laughing at him.

thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:35

enimmead
thats a double negative so no

WidowWadman · 18/06/2012 22:35

Ogling other people's genitals is the last thing on my mind when I go to a sauna.

Fair enough - I do think that teenagers need to realise that people's bodies are not porn bodies and you do not need a porn body to be normal.

msannteak
as a guy i'm not best qualified to state what women actualy do/want etc, it's the general impression i get, feel free to contradict me if your mad for phalus!

talkingnonsense · 18/06/2012 22:32

I'd seen it on the channel 4 sex ed show and thought it was v good, especially for teenagers who see a lot of porn bodies. The programme was quite good too.

Chair - so you do not think women are not interested in male genitalia if they see a male naked body?

And this is based on your day in a sauna?

OP posts:
thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:31

i agree with talking nonesense, normal bodies are worth seeing, one thing you learn from the sauna is no one is perfect.

talkingnonsense · 18/06/2012 22:31

And tbh, you should have posted on the original thread. So far, people have laughed a bit, but at least they can see they are normal. Penises and vulvas always make people laugh a bit, it's some kind of embarrassment linked reaction.

It's AIBU on FWR.

Chairman - do you check out the competition? Do a comparison?

OP posts:
talkingnonsense · 18/06/2012 22:27

Well, I put it up to show real penises, not porn ones, as there was a thread about boys size elsewhere. There are pics of vulvas and breasts too, normal ones, not plastic shiny and oiled. I think that's a good thing.

Chairman - I believe you've just made the mistake of generalising about male and female reactions to naked bodies. On FWR

Oops :)

thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:26

i dont think so, we live in holland and spend winter days in sauna's , my OH see's alot of penises, and i see alot of naked women.

my observations at the sauna tell me , that if a guy can look at a naked women when she's looking the other way , he will, but women also look at naked women, they do the same, even when your in the whirlpool and a couple might walk past, women allways seem to check out the women, not the man women are not interested in male genitalia except for a bit of a laugh.

i have drawn this conclusion from my experience, but i have the feeling some people will disagree.
