I find camel toes and the guy equivalent thereof terribly unsexy. Wear the jeans nice and tight over that cute ass but I don’t want to be seeing any genitals unless I’m getting some. As a girl, whenever I see camel toe I get uncomfortable because it just looks really uncomfortable! I saw a porn website devoted just to camel toes. I checked it out and only about 5 seconds of it was looking at camel toe and most of it was just plain sex. ---

The guy sitting next to me at work (who incidentally is laughing his ass off at this thread) says that there is a [RateMyCamelToe.com](http://RateMyCamelToe.com) web site. I can’t verify this since I am at work, but he seems pretty sure of it. He says that any of the guys on here who dig camel toes should give it a gander. I can’t imagine a web site like that. But this same guy gets all hysterical and laughs his ass off at [RateMyPoo.com](http://RateMyPoo.com) (fuckin nasty) so I am sure he was able to find just such a site. :rolleyes: I need a new job. ---

> [@gobear](#): > > “Meat curtains”? _Shudder_. I must offer a sacrifice of red satin pumps to Dorothy, the Goddess of Fabulousness, that I was born a confirmed bachelor. And on this, at least, we are in complete agreement. (Although since I can’t in good conscience make any claim to Fabulousness, my shrine caters to the devoted following of nerdy gay boys who grew up in the 70’s and honors the triumvirate of Han Solo, Starbuck, and Buck Rogers, with devotional arias performed by ABBA). All the references to clams, tacos, tuna, muffins, sugar walls, and camels are at least endearing on some level. But “meat curtains” has replaced “up to my nuts in some chick’s guts” as the most anti-erotic expression ever. “Bacon wings” is right up there, too. > [@catsix](#): > > I have to say that aesthetically, I much prefer the male parts to the female. Something about how it proudly waves in the air and proclaims ‘I am genitals, and I am here.’ “I am Genitals, the Destroyer of Worlds! Come closer to me so that I may tell you sweet secrets. Embrace me!” Wait… y’all heard that too, right? > [@Greathouse](#): > > I don’t know a single straight male that doesn’t appreciate when the “turkey’s done”. That is usually pretty sexy. Hell, that turns _me_ on. I don’t care what Kinsey said; I think appreciation of the high-beams is universal. ---

Actually, it’s quite possible to be showing off ‘camel toes’ without knowing about it. I tried on a pair of jeans one day, did the usual turning about to see how they looked… …and from the front, it looked like Mick Jagger sticking his tounge out down there. :eek: I spent about a minute trying to figure out the logistics of this: the jeans weren’t tight, they were **very** comfortable, I am not a large person, yet they made me look like the equivalent of a guy stuffing socks down his undies. Thick wool socks meant for size 16+ feet. 😕 Anyways. So yes, from personal experience, unless you think to look down, it’s quite easy to not notice. * * * \<\< Bastet’s Paradox: Every cat is the center of the universe. \>\> ---
