Earth Mothers, Girl Next Door, or weirdo types. Don’t wear makeup? Don’t shave your armpits? Hourglass shaped? Very skinny without being anorexic? Dress sort of like a hippy or punk? Kind of a jock without being exercise obsessed? Heartland wholesomeness? Cute or unusual face? Front tooth gap? Socially on the fringe without being massively neurotic? Smart as hell? If you fit any three of the above, (and I fervently hope the forsaking of makeup and the being smart as hell is amongst the three), Command me to do thy bidding. ::swoons:: ---

I must confess that it turns me on to watch the LIONsob eat an ice cream cone , especially when he looks at me _that way_ while doing so. Ohhhhhhh Baby baby baby. ---

Purd, I think I am your dream girl. I answered seven of those as a resounding “yes!” Anyway, I totally dig front tooth gaps, also, and I have a thing for cross-dressers. Not tranvestites, but cross-dressers. Just something tame like wearing women’s panties. ---

Boys who are taaaaaall (I’m talking at least 6’1) and really skinny. Don’t ask, I’ve just always been hopelesly attracted to them. I love the back of boys’ necks when they’re long and slender. Somehow, the way a guy’s hair looks on the nape of his neck can be a huge turn on. I love skinny guys’ tummies. They’re always so flat and hard, which means if you just poke it it tickles them - sooo cute. And my wierdest one - I loooove it when a guy can do this cat purr thing. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like, when you can roll your tongue and sort of have a low growl behind it. ::shivers:: So - Tall, skinny boys with slender necks who can growl. I know, I’m wierd 😃 ---

Short girls. (Like, between 4’10 and 5’6 short, not two feet tall short.) Glasses. Long hair. Mmm. Musicians. Watching someone play the flute… well, a certain someone. ---

Tall, skinny men. The taller the better. Nice clavicles. Mmm… clavicle. Crooked or gap teeth. Not sure why; I just really dig it. Hipbones. ---

Confidence, a great smile and a slight accent really do it for me. 🙂 ---

Guys with “average” bodies do it for me. Not that I’m into chubby types, but a guy who carries a _little_ extra around his midriff is just what I like. I can’t say I’m too keen on muscly, fat or skinny men, though - they just don’t do anything for me. Buzzcuts do it for me as well. There’s nothing better than running your fingers through the stubble left behind after a #1 cut. Also, for some reason or another which even I don’t understand, I’m only into guys who smoke. They always seem so relaxed, laid-back and confident. As for physical turn-ons, deep, intense kissing gets me going. Oh, and let’s not forget (gently) pulling and twisting my nipples. At the slightest touch, I’m all fired up and ready to go. Best turn-on of all, though, is when my SO wakes me up by kissing me. That always leads on to other things. ---

“…I’m just a simple man, I like simple pleasures like butter in my ass and a lolipop in my mouth, you can call me a pervert but thats what I like…” Yeah, that about sums it up for me too. ---
