Most women don’t like seeing naked men?

If said woman is interested in men I should add!

Talking about strippers and how a lot of men seem to like the female body / stare at women. Talking in our group of friends and I don’t think women are the same and seeing a man topless does nothing for me. I’m talking super buff and has a good body too, I’m much more attracted based on personality and find the cockiness of thinking they are gods gift to women a turn off.

Only one friend said they love seeing naked / topless men and finds it sexual.

Does nothing for me either. A man who makes me laugh is a huge turn on.

Interesting! Yes I don't like looking at naked men at all to be honest. A male strip show sounds sort of hilarious and sort of disgusting. Agree about a nice suit and a certain personality and only in that kind of context and in the right mood am I going to then appreciate the rest of the physical/visual element.

I don't find a male naked body attractive on its own. I need so much more to know who they are what they are like. I'm much more likely to find attraction to seeing someone being kind funny generous intelligent.

Big no from me for male strippers or male escorts as I need to feel safety and connection I don't think I've ever felt just lust. Plus paying and being one of many isnt attractive to me what so ever.

Clearly a whole load of men don't have these issues at all. I feel no entitlement at all or even a 'need' for anything sexual in my life. I enjoy it but I don't need it the same way lots of men seem to.

I was still a teenager the last time I got a tingle from seeing a bare chest. All the age-appropriate chests now are nothing special to look at, sadly. I still like to see DH strip off though. But only because it's him.

I can appreciate a nice male body, but I sure as hell would not want to see a stripper. Looking at a strange man's dick is gross.

Truth. Well said.

I've long since lost any interest I had in sexual matters, but when I did have it, I wasn't interested in random male bodies - only the bodies attached to faces I found appealing. If the face and hair didn't do it for me, it didn't matter how attractive his body might be.

Yeah I also considered this and wondered if I had grown up where it was more equal in the media between male and female gaze if i would find the female form as beautiful. But I will never know, definitely not in my life time. I’m hoping it’s slowly changing so maybe we will find out in hundreds of years

I have no idea why this made me laugh so much @CreamStick! I was just picturing a centaur 🤣

Yep,this.

My ultimate fantasy man, appearance wise was Mr Darcy way before the film. I love the boots, breeches and white shirt slashed to the waist look. Unfortunately they aren't a common look in 21st century England.😂

@Georgethecat1

well I love seeing totally naked men!

@Tallerandtall there’s a reason some male stripper shows exist….theres defo a few of you. You would love my friend, you could maybe go together to a magic Mike show 😂

I don't mind. There are definitely a couple of guys at the swimming pool that I have an appreciation for. Men I've had relationships with usually appeal. I like lean and muscled rather than really bulky. Not too hairy, but no need to shave it all off, either. Good quads and a nice arse, solid shoulders, strong arms...

My father was a farmer, and spent a lot of the summer in just shorts, and I suspect my tastes were formed quite Freudianly. I also swam a lot as a teenager and my first crushes were mostly on the lifeguards.

I don't mind women's bodies, either. (I have slept with women as well as men.) There's so much variety in their beauty.

Never been to a strip show, though. It is neither an incidental view that you can just appreciate (e.g. beach, swimming pool,) nor someone who is naked specifically for me. I also assume, possibly wrongly, as I've never been, that they are more muscly and built up than I really like.

Most men don't take good enough care of their bodies to look good.

They go grey, get beer bellies, don't take/wax icky hair, smell, don't sort their teeth, don't shave, it's not attractive.

I like a nice looking man but they are few & far between.

Don't like the muscly look either.

That would presumably be a self selecting group, which makes a difference. I'm not into that kind of thing, so I wouldn't go to an event to see one. The women who go will be the ones who enjoy it.

I think more women than men need an emotional connection to enjoy sex and, crucially, women are more likely to object on principle to paying in order to override someone's lack of consent.

It's this, rare moments that click.. it's like "there's someone I've known for 20 years chopping wood" & suddenly 😍

I've always been confused by male strippers phenomenon - and wondered if groups of women were behaving like they think they are supposed to or if I was weird one.

Buff male lead in TV and film - usually due to decency laws covered below - then yea can have a wow moment - but then I say same with House - and I don't think same with actual actor Hugh Laurie - he's a charming man but does nothing like that for me - so how much is manipulation -character,lighting,plot and yes being safe on screen and not in RL where most women assess for risk.

I think more women need an emotional connection, but certainly not all.

I think you're right about paying for it - you can't pay for consent. But also, though there's no guarantee of quality, dating apps cater for hook-ups, and I think it's easy for women to get sex if that's what they want. (Good sex can be another matter.)

Same here. I love looking at hot guys clothed/topless/naked and I do imagine about having sex with them too. I don’t need to know them.
I objectify men.

I replied up thread but I've been thinking about this. I'm bisexual and it's quite strange the way I experience attraction in different ways to men and women. I will be turned on by seeing most women naked, regardless of if I fancy them facially or not, or even regardless of body shape and size. With men, I fancy them facially and unless I fancy them in that way, I'm not really interested in their bodies. But if I do fancy them, then it does make me really aroused. I'm just wondering if this resonates with anyone else.

I don't like the idea of strippers but I'm not going to lie and say a good bod isn't a turn on.

Some dude walking around town with his top off, probably not. But a pic of a handsome topless man in a magazine? Quite possibly.

I don't think this is unusual for women, but I need to already fancy them and have a connection to want to see them naked. If I don't want to sleep with them, then seeing them naked will not make me want to sleep with them - but if I am already into them, then absolutely I want to see them shirtless.

This is why women are the primary consumers of romance shows and erotic novels, and men are the primary consumers for porn. Naked men even in fiction do nothing for me, I need a good 100 pages explaining why this man is THE man for the protagonist before he whips his chest out.

Almost certainly there is some biological aspect to this, such as the very real risk that comes with sleeping with men who you don't already judge to have certain virtues (for example, that he won't hurt you). Also most likely some socialisation. Although I suspect that there are some closeted bi people around who don't realise that they feel sexual attraction to naked women because they are bi, in general we're socialised young to see women as objects of attraction.
