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?

(Or indeed a hairless one.) Are female genitals attractive? I don't think so at all.

Blacksackunderthetreesfreeze · 17/01/2020 12:59

That’s got to be a purely individual thing surely?

Naked men aren’t inherently repellent to all, though, so I guess YABU.

Blacksackunderthetreesfreeze · 17/01/2020 13:00

I also agree I think a fanny is fairly unattractive in and of itself!

BrokenWing · 17/01/2020 13:00

I can appreciate the lines and curves of a strong forearm, wide shoulders, tight bum, muscly thighs etc - dangly bits just don't seem to fit the rest of the package.

I get where you are coming from op/

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 13:00

YABU for finding speedos acceptable.

Apart from that - YANBU.

crestedrobin · 17/01/2020 13:01

Yanbu, I really don't like looking at my dhs naked body. I find it a turn off, but I feel so guilty for having those feelings. He looks lovely in clothes.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 17/01/2020 13:01

Well I wouldn't choose either variety of genitals as my screensaver.

Cordylina · 17/01/2020 13:02

YANBU at all. I’m straight and find the male body very attractive to look at except for the genitals. I don’t think female genitalia are attractive to look at either. I’m thinking men find their own penises very attractive giving the proliferation of dick pics.

sunshinesupermum · 17/01/2020 13:02

I agree OP! Most penises are not a thing of beauty imo. But then I find most people, male or female, look sexier with part of their body covered up so I get what you're saying about pants or speedos - it's the mystery I guess Wink

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 13:02

That seems like a weird statement from a straight woman.

Does it? - it's one I've heard & read very commonly.
Male genitalia is simply not as aesthetically pleasing as female.
(I am straight, if that matters).

BrendasUmbrella · 17/01/2020 13:03

I don't find any isolated genitals "beautiful", whoever they belong to. Penises, labia, it all looks like a bagful of giblets.

Missillusioned · 17/01/2020 13:03

Depends on the man, but I do find naked men attractive. And I find an erect penis attractive, provided it's on a man I'm already attracted to, not appearing unsolicited in my WhatsApp from a random.

workffs · 17/01/2020 13:03

Yeah I'm not sure that either set of genitals are appealing to be honest - look and feel are two diff things though - I like feeling and erm licking hard penisesBlush

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 13:03

Sounds like you drank the kool-aid on the whole "women are just more beautiful to look at naked" narrative

Or conversely, it's OP's actual opinion, independently arrived at via the evidence of her own eyes?

FoamingAtTheUterus · 17/01/2020 13:04

Let's face it. Neither genders giblets are te most attractive thing in the world.

managedmis · 17/01/2020 13:04

Quite, PapayaCoconut

BrendasUmbrella · 17/01/2020 13:04

I don't mean literally isolated genitals of course, don't be alarmed Grin

Cordylina · 17/01/2020 13:04

I don’t find them unattractive, I just don’t find them attractive. They’re just kind of there. Like a table lamp.

cologne4711 · 17/01/2020 13:05

I agree OP. Manly chest, lovely. But the dangly bits? Not attractive.

Fatted · 17/01/2020 13:05

I can't get over the fact you are capable of finding anyone in speedos sexually attractive.

As with everything, it all depends on the person.

WeeSleekitTimerousMoosey · 17/01/2020 13:05

I'm not sure I'm in a position to pass comment on the sexual attractiveness or otherwise of women's genitals being heterosexual.

There is nothing about women's bodies I find sexually attractive.

TopOftheNaughtyList · 17/01/2020 13:07

Whilst I wouldn't rave about a penis, I don't dislike them as much as I do the ball sack. Testicles are just ugly IMHO.

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 13:08

I don’t find them unattractive, I just don’t find them attractive. They’re just kind of there. Like a table lamp.

Come off it @Cordylina, I own several lamps which are WAY more attractive than either male or female "giblets" (thanks for that, @FoamingAtTheUterus)

24hourshomeedderandcarer · 17/01/2020 13:08

same here

willies are icky

i like a pretty unshaven face and nice thighs

shushymcshush · 17/01/2020 13:09

@Cordylina haha like a table lamp
