I’ve heard guys say “she’d fuck my eyes out”, or something similar after just looking at a woman. Just hopeful thinking, I’m sure.
So, I’m a 65 year old man and have had several lovers over the years. They have been quite pretty to quite not, with most in between, and it’s been my experience that how one looks has no direct effect on their sexuality.
What’s been your experience? Women too, please. Is a physically attractive partner more sexual than one who isn’t?
Please do not ask me to define “attractive”. You all know what I mean.
Peace,

Well, my late husband was not terribly conventionally attractive but he was a fantastic lover.
Marilyn Monroe was widely reported to be almost incapable of orgasm during sex and not that into it (she herself reportedly confided once that Joe Dimagio was the sole exception to this for her). How many men saw her and assumed she was a rabid sex kitten?
I really don’t think appearance has anything to do with sexuality, aside from the judgments people make which are often way off base but which may make it harder for the less “attractive” to exercise their sexuality.
Well, obviously, she played into the myth but she was also widely considered very attractive and yet apparently suffered from quite a bit of sexual dysfunction, to the point that some men who bedded her reported she was a “dead fuck”.
It is likely that many far more “homely girls” were far better in bed, then and now, but the assumption was that the “hot girls” just had to be awesome…:rolleyes:
I’ve been told I’m fairly attractive and I’ve always had a very high libido and been “good in bed” (into it, highly responsive, open-minded, pretty skilled, etc…) and I was asked a variation of the question, “Why are you with HIM?” for years (re’ my late husband) by those who assumed I could “do better” based solely on looks.
Um, no complaints from ME in that department… Maybe he WAS just trying harder from the get-go, but fact is, he was incredible, I’d take his sex over that of some male model who lacked his passion and skills and consideration ANY day.
Does not have to matter if she is aware or not, imo as a woman…the way she walks can hint at her degree of sexual inhibition and/or nature regardless. A woman who is comfortable in her sexuality and enjoys sex is more likely to move in a way that tends to excite a male observer. JMHO.
Dammit, missed the eidt window…I wanted to add that all this, in my previous post, is assuming she has the basics of “physical attractiveness” (and I will not ask you to define them, but simply note that preferences DO differ…some men want a “baby with back”, others not so much, etc…but the lady has an ASS and hips and legs which we are assuming are generally non-repulsive and attractive in nature to heterosexual males viewing from behind…fair?)
I got lucky with my partner. He’s one of the “beautiful people” and is AMAZING in bed. But my experience before meeting him was the opposite. In general, guys who are good-looking tend to be somewhat self-centered, especially in bed. They tend to have a “do me” attitude.
And then there are the guys with big dicks. The bigger they are, the less probability of a full erection or one that’s long-lasting. I guess it has to do with the amount of work the blood has to do. But I’ll say one thing: Guys who are big tend to be very skilled at giving oral sex. Other people have commented on this as well, but there’s no consensus about the reason.
Not having slept with very many women, I don’t really have a good answer to the OP. I will say that the reverse “sexuality affects appearance” seems to be true to a certain extent for me.
I have noticed that a person’s apparent attitude toward me (particularly vis-a-vis sex) can affect my perception of their attractiveness. For that matter I’ve noticed that a person’s attitude in general affects their attractiveness. I think there’s a lot more of a mental aspect to appearance than we generally admit (or realize). It’s been my experience that every woman that I’ve spent any length of time with goes through different levels of attractiveness. I perceive the difference as at least partly physical as well. I might meet someone in bad circumstances and find them plain or unattractive and later on find them really good-looking or conversely I may start out thinking they are really hot and later feel “meh” or even that they are ugly. And these things can go back and forth again and again if I spend time with them long enough.
I do think there’s a physical component to attractiveness that is somewhat separate from the mental world I’m speaking of, but that tends to set the baseline around which their attractiveness varies in my mind.
The Marine Corps teaches the Kama Sutra to its recruits in an attempt to lure women away from sailors of the USN. You must have caught one of the very rare success stories.
A couple of reasons. The bigger the schlong the faster you use up her natural lube. Nobody likes chafing. Along the same lines, a lot of women are intimidated by the idea of going right at it and need a thorough warming up to relax enough to make everything comfortable. Lastly, in my own case, because I know there is a distinct chance of hurting my partner inadvertently I always try to ensure that she’s gotten off before I do my thing. That’s only fair.
Physical attraction is based on determining the fitness of the offspring, not in how pleasurable the sex will be. The pleasure of sex exists to stimulate having more of it, and to create pair bonds. It is not an evolutionary goal in and of itself.
In other words, any synchronicity between beauty and “sexuality” is purely coincidental from an evolutionary perspective. Though I do admit that there is some pressure for the less physically attractive to be better in bed from an individual perspective.
