I hope this isn’t pushing the envelope with regard to maintaining the standard of this board, but I am curious! Does looking at a bum hole turn you on? I am talking about just the bum hole here, not the whole package. I can honestly say it doesn’t do a thing for me. ---

If anything, I’d rather not see it. The human anatomy leaves little choice in such matters. ---

Nope, the hole itself is something I can do without. Visually at least. ---

Nope. Not sexy. Not at all. Definitely one of the parts of the human body that I couldn’t care any less about. ---

Hmm. By itself, no. The entire package, sometimes. There is a picture of Desiree in an issue of Voluptuous (I think I spelled that right) in which her hole looks like a little pink rosebud emerging from two white broad leaves that always does something for me. The entire Kobi Tai package turns me on because the hole is so tiny, it looks like a single slit. Summing up: just the hole-no. The wole thing (pun intended)-sometimes. ---

I don’t think _any_ body part is sexy all by itself. Seriously - is a closeup picture of a vagina or a nipple sexy? ---

Bum hole? Out here in California, we call them “homeless shelters”. ---

Seriously - is a closeup picture of a vagina or a nipple sexy? \*\* I’m a straight female, and I think that a picture of just a nipple could certainly be sexy. Just eyes are. Just lips are. Just hair. Hands. Neck. Navel. Shoulders. The inside of a wrist. I find almost every body part (well, considering it’s an attractive sample of said body part) to be attractive, in and of itself. The asshole whould be an exception to that generalization, however. Doesn’t do anything for me, either. ---

Bumholes are for shits to exit out of. They are therefore incapable of being sexy. End of debate (I hope) ---

Well, there is a lot of porn devoted to them, so I’m guessing someone out there must think they’re sexy. ---

Another vote for “exit only.” If you’d cleaned as much shit off of people’s bums as I have (and I am sure some of you have if you are in a health care field) then maybe you’ll understand where I’m coming from. It’s the place that shit comes out of. That’s all it is for me. Obviously the mileage varies for others. ---

Well, penises are where urine comes out–are they not sexy? The bare bumhole by itself is not all that exciting, but in the right context, after a hot shower and during a blowjob, there is something incredibly hot about sliding the tongue down just a little lower and making your partner squirm with ecstasy. ---
