To find the naked male body sexually repellent

Hi, I don’t mean to offend anyone and I’m not a lesbian. I can really fancy a man wearing nothing but pants - even Speedo’s - but when a man is actually entirely naked I just don’t like it. I don’t like the look of the penis. Anyone else?

Eh no.

Clappingforjoy · 17/01/2020 12:27

Depends on his overall physique

apacketofcrisps · 17/01/2020 12:28

Yeah that’s weird.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 17/01/2020 12:29

Your seeing the wrong men naked!

RuffleCrow · 17/01/2020 12:29

Maybe you're asexual?

ThunderGarlic · 17/01/2020 12:29

Nope, (some) naked men are delightful to look at in the nude...

Chocolatedaim · 17/01/2020 12:30

I don’t find any old penis attractive but I do love my husband’s ☺️

AnneLovesGilbert · 17/01/2020 12:30

Have you always felt like that?

littlepaddypaws · 17/01/2020 12:30

the human body is beautiful in all its shapes, sizes and colours but male genitals ? urgh, sorry guys, it's just an ugly set up.

LaurieMarlow · 17/01/2020 12:30

That seems like a weird statement from a straight woman.

BarkBarkBark · 17/01/2020 12:31

Well, it's a valid feeling for yourself but I won't deny to me its strange.

Keepithidden · 17/01/2020 12:38

There's a reason for the slang term "bumping uglies"!

PapayaCoconut · 17/01/2020 12:43

Sounds like you drank the kool-aid on the whole "women are just more beautiful to look at naked" narrative, which serves to underpin the extreme inequality in depictions of nude women versus nude men in the public space. Or maybe I'm over-analysing things! 😅

Kalifa · 17/01/2020 12:44

I agree as a straight woman. The penis is part of the otherwise very pleasing package but looks like a sad baby elephant’s trunk.
RuffleCrow to suggest that someone is asexual for not being crazy about the look of the penis is daft and ignorant.

sausagepastapot · 17/01/2020 12:45

I do not find any penises attractive. I'm a straight female. YANBU.

Iprefergin · 17/01/2020 12:46

I'm straight and don't find mens genitals pleasing to look at at all.

EmeraldShamrock · 17/01/2020 12:48

If it is how you feel yanbu.
I like naked bodies.
I watch naked attraction I might think one of the contestants are really sexy naked male or female, once they get dressed I think noooo I wouldn't be attracted to them.

OccasionalNachos · 17/01/2020 12:48

I don’t find any random strange genitals pleasing to look at, but for a man I’m attracted to, the whole package is hot.

Ginkypig · 17/01/2020 12:49

Well I don't really ever find a generic mans body attractive so I don't notice men in the street etc and have never understood things like people drooling at love island etc but I do find my partner attractive because i love him, and I have had relationships with other men too so I'm not repulsed by men.

I do sometimes notice women on tv etc though so I think because I am bi I am probably more attracted to the generic form of women if but am attracted to the person I am in a relationship with.

I think the truth is I am quite monogamous in nature and once I am attached to a person emotionally everyone else just don't appeal, they aren't sexual to me even if I can say they look beautiful (like a piece of art would be) but I don't see them as sexual. That switches off for everyone except the person I'm attached emotionally to.

WeeSleekitTimerousMoosey · 17/01/2020 12:50

People look better with clothes on generally.

To me sex is a tactile thing. I don't find genitals appealing to look at either. Feel, yes, look at, no thanks.

managedmis · 17/01/2020 12:51

Does depends on the guy obv, but you can't honestly say a flaccid cock is as sexy as a pair of lovely broad shoulders? Or muscled forearms?

(yes, I read mills and boon in my spare time)

WeeSleekitTimerousMoosey · 17/01/2020 12:52

Should have said I'm a heterosexual woman. Don't find women attractive at all and never have.

EmeraldShamrock · 17/01/2020 12:53

When the penis fits the man it can be a pleasing sight.

silencebeforethebleeps · 17/01/2020 12:55

I don't find bodies particularly appealing. Always fall for faces and voices. And in the case of my DH, those aren't even particularly attractive - I just love him.

Or a hairy fanny?
