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?

And I would so love to comment on there but I know what the backlash would be.

OMG thats alot of penises! or should that be peni?

thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:19

i'm male , sure most of you know that by now, i have no problem with women looking at cocks and rating them.

but women are not affected in the same way when they see a a cock as when a man see's a naked women, it's a fundemental difference between the sexes.

i'm not sure wether that makes it worse for men to rate women than women to rate men but, the fact is men have allways rated women , women rating men is quite new. but whats ok for one sex should be ok for another.

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:20

I know it's not porn - but if the position was reversed, would you object to your OH rating them and then rating yours?

I think some people on there are excited :)

Number 14 is a hit :)

I wouldn't be upset, but wonder whether he had a stroke or had been abducted by aliens and replaced with a doppelganger.

That chat thread is juvenile, but stuff like that floats a lot of people's boats. You get penis rating, breast rating, poo rating (google "rate my poo" if you don't believe it). I don't get why. Women doing it with men is no more classy than the other way round.

thechairman you stated "women are not affected in the same way when they see a a cock as when a man see's a naked women, it's a fundemental difference between the sexes."

I find this interesting. Can you let me know how you arrived at your view ?

AnyFucker · 18/06/2012 22:25

I think it's pretty juvenile whichever gender does it, tbh

< big yawn >

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.

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:27

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

Oops :)

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.

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:28

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

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 18/06/2012 22:29

this is FWR ?

ffs, I thought it was AIBU

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:29

Talking - I would love to know what Google search you did for that :)

OP posts:
thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:30

yes of course, and i'm quite content, not jaw-droppingly content, but happy enough.

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:30

It's AIBU on FWR.

OP posts:
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.

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.

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:32

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:
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.

thechairmanmeow · 18/06/2012 22:33

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!

enimmead · 18/06/2012 22:34

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.

WidowWadman · 18/06/2012 22:35

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