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?

shaved that should have said,facial hair turns my stomach

SapphosRock · 17/01/2020 13:10

YANBU I agree (but I am a lesbian)

Excellent point made above about the myth that female bodies are more appealing naked than male ones. It’s just an excuse to titillate. Most female bodies aren’t all that nice to look at either.

Straggly, untamed pubes or plucked chicken stubble vulvas, mottled legs, saggy boobs and wobbly tummies, toenails that need a bit of work. This is the reality for most naked bodies, male or female!

As for the recent obsessions with backsides. I don’t get it. When I see these women shaking their giant arses in the name of sexual allure, I just think: are you looking for a toilet? That’s what bums mean to me.

As for female genitalia being attractive to look at....try giving birth vaginally more than once. It’s not selfie material, that’s for sure!

@sadiesunshine1 some willies do look like sharpei dogs so I see where you're coming from

SleepingStandingUp · 17/01/2020 13:11

YANBU. I'd love to see Chris Hemsworth or Ramin Kariloo naked but have no desire to gaze upon their penis. Happy with tight black boxers as I'm not allowed to have sex with them as I'm married

Somanysocks · 17/01/2020 13:12

They look better when they're up.

Cordylina · 17/01/2020 13:13

I’m thinking of the neutral, useful kind of lamp that’s seen a few homes and colour schemes because it’s well designed, functional and not flashy. More IKEA than Heals.

The one thing I will say for female genitals is at least we never have to see our own. All I see is hair. Poor men actually have to look at theirs.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 17/01/2020 13:13

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.

Agree with sleekit to a degree here - but it also depends on the man and your feelings of him.

My DH would never have won any Mr Universe title or owt like that, but I loved* the look of his naked body.

Whereas the supposedly gorgeous men of stage and screen etc - I might think they looked very nice thank you, but I wouldn't be turned on by any of them. (I do have a secret crush on David Costabile, though, and he's not what you might call buff)

*Sadly we neither of us have improved over four and a half decades Grin - tend to keep those things under wraps most of the time now

Cordylina · 17/01/2020 13:15

No one makes them take pictures of it though WeeSleekitTimerousMoose

Babdoc · 17/01/2020 13:15

Unsurprising that people’s opinions vary. So do genitals! I’ve seen literally thousands during 36 years in the operating theatre as a hospital doctor, and they ranged from ugly, lumpen, misshapen over/undersized or grubby, to sleek, shapely and attractive. I was always very fond of DH’s ( perfect!) one, but he died 28 years ago and I never found a replacement.

Missillusioned · 17/01/2020 13:16

I actually enjoy a nice dick pic.
Provided its from a man I'm attracted to and have already had sex with. I guess its context that important.

JacquesHammer · 17/01/2020 13:18

Meh, dicks are ugly but useful at times.

123rd · 17/01/2020 13:18

I've been with my husband forever and still get the horn when I see him naked...other naked males, yeah not so much. But then I don't tend to see that many !

Cordylina · 17/01/2020 13:21

Backs do more for me. Or a nice bum.

Rubixcuube · 17/01/2020 13:21

Well I mean, I don’t think vaginas are the most attractive things to be fair....

CardsforKittens · 17/01/2020 13:21

I like how men look naked, but only if I know and like the man. I’m completely uninterested in naked random strangers. Not repulsed, just uninterested.

PhoneLock · 17/01/2020 13:22

Anyone else?

My husband feels the same way, so you're not alone.

Whynosnowyet · 17/01/2020 13:23

I love my dh's genitals unless he is naked and bending down for something...
Envy not envy...

EmeraldShamrock · 17/01/2020 13:24

I am sure most men would prefer some cover upon female genitals, crotchless undies, stocking for distraction. There is a market for penis decorations.

riotlady · 17/01/2020 13:25

I agree to a certain extent- I’m bi and if you just showed me a picture of a penis or a vagina, I wouldn’t find it particularly attractive or arousing. I find people’s faces or shoulders or chests much more appealing.

Cordylina · 17/01/2020 13:25

Googly eyes and a fake moustache?

EssentialHummus · 17/01/2020 13:26

There's a reason why male genitals are on the small side in classical sculpture OP. I prefer them bulging in a nice pair of briefs personally.

JacquesHammer · 17/01/2020 13:26

Kryten has it about right when it comes to the penis.

But it's hideous! That's the best design they could come up with!? Are you seriously telling me there were choices and someone said "Ah. There. That's it. That's the shape we're looking for; the 'last-chicken-in-the-shop' look." Shakespeare had one? Einstein? Perry Como sang 'Memories Are Made of This' with one of those stashed in his slacks!?

PooWillyBumBum · 17/01/2020 13:28

I don't think male genitalia is the prettiest thing but, no, I don't find them sexually repellent. If I did, I'd probably not have any children!

Fancy my DH loads, including his bits.
