Camel preferably. > men who blush \*\* tubagirl, we could walk into a room, divide the men in half, and each take one side with zero overlap. We’d make great best friends because we’d never steal each other’s boyfriends. This is so funny to me, it’s so exactly opposite… let’s see. I like guys who are: Much much taller than me (a foot or more) lean abs minimal/no bodu hair fairly assertive nonsmoker (this is not negotiable) not prone to being embarrassed/shy ---

Number One serious turn on for me: (gals, take notes) Ankles, and anklets on a pretty ankle. I bought two of them - a white gold and a platinum anklet for someone _special_ recently. I get so excited just thinking of kneeling to clasp them around her slim little ankle…happy sigh…and soon I will… I also love long skirts, or long dresses - ones that come down to just above the pretty little ankles…and stockings, not hose…and those little boots sometimes…oh dear…maybe I need to go back to the lesbian orgy thread. 😉 ---

My weird turn-on: Take an woman, un-clothe her, turn her on her back, spread her legs… notice that tendon that kinda pops out between the top of her thigh and her, uh, fun bits? I _ **LOVE** _ that! I could spend the rest of my life nibbling on **Astrofiance’s** tendon-thingy… I dunno why, but that makes me **hot**!! **Astrofiance** is confused by this (as it does nothing for her…). Her: “What are you doing?” Me: “Having fun! Shut up and watch TV!” Her: “Whatever… let me know when you’re done…” ---

First thing I notice about a woman? There can only be one thing. And it’s something I can notice before I ever see her. Her _ **voice.** _. And how she talks. I guess I’m a voice fetishist. My top five: [LIST=1] [li] **East European** / Slavic / Russian. If it’s husky too, then that’s it. I’m in love and she can have _anything_. If I ever live to hear one more women whisper to me, “Ocino te jelim” I’ll be a lucky man.[/li][li] **Italian**. If I met an Italian woman with a nice voice, I’d offer the following deal. I’ll do all the cooking, cleaning, washing and other chores. She just has to be there and speak to me in slow, smoochy Italian. I can’t understand more than a few phrases, but if you have my kind of fetish just the sound is enough.[/li][li] **American**. I know this is a ‘broad’ category, and some Yank accents are more appealing than others. But USA is my spiritual home, I’ve had 2 American girlfriends, and I just love the sound. So much so that one of these relationships set me back 750 pounds (1100 dollars) in 3 months. Transatlantic phone calls are not cheap.[/li][li] **Swiss**. Once worked in a rather cosmopolitan office, which included this delightful Swiss girl who spoke about 5 languages. She talked a lot. It was like heaven.[/li][li] **Geordie**. Lasses from Newcastle talk in music, not words. Instant lust.[/li][/LIST=1] My other fetish is hair. I’ve used the same marking system for years, and it has never let me down. I award marks from 1-5 in each of the following categories: [list=A] [li] **Colour**. Ideal: black as a raven’s eye down a mineshaft at midnight.[/li][li] **Curliness**. Ideal: explosion in a bedspring factory.[/li][li] **Thickness**. Ideal: mooring ropes.[/li][li] **Length**. Ideal: Half-way between breasts and navel.[/li][li] **Attitude**. Ideal: My hair is my advertisement to the world of my magnificence.[/li][/LIST=A] This makes the technical maximum 25 points. However, I would actually award 6 points in the first category for true, natural-born **auburn** hair. Hence theoretical max = 26 points. I’ve dated a few in the 22-23 range, but I’m still waiting to wake up with that high 25 or 26. ---

you want odd turn-ons. I’m your man. (remember you asked.) Midgets. I love midgets (female obviously) Little people (which I believe is the correct term) do it for me every time, I have no idea why but I love little women. Clown Makeup. unfortunately there are very few female clowns that I have noticed, but a woman in clown make-up will do it for me in an instant. Laughter. there is nothing sexier in the world than a woman laughing. _skarecrows perfect woman- a laughing midget clown._ hmm never actually spelled it out like that before, I guess I am a freak. ---

We can do normal turnons too? Okay. ~Taller than me with broad shoulders, good huggableness and fine hips. ~Hands (always hands…mmmm…hands… see earlier post) ~Brains (c’mon, debate me, take me on…please) ~Not adverse to using a little force (Bite me, I like it.) ~Cute penis. I’m serious. A friend (just friend) has the most adorable member I have ever seen. Almost makes me cry just thinking about it. ~Sharp pointy things. (Swords.) ~Being kissed on the forehead ~Lack of dignity without lacking confidence…a security of self. ~Handwashing dishes without wearing a shirt. Don’t do this around me unless you want to be raped. I warn you now. (“He was _asking_ for it officer. _Look_ at what he was doing!”) ---

Addendum to original post: I have discovered the joys of little people. Specifically little women. No idea why, I’m normally pretty freaked out by physical deformity, but I have seen two dwarf women I would marry in a heartbeat (three if you count one porn actress). ---

For the record I was once told by a female friend the she became aroused by watching me play chess. Tis a pity she and I never got involved… I am playing chess like mad lately. As for me personally I am a big redhead fan, real or fake - red is a turn on for me. I am not a breast man as many of my friends are, I prefer the backside much more. Not a big butt, but a firm well shaped one. Also I find myself aroused by women simply playing with my hair, like a scalp massage. _shiver down spine_ And I find milados to die for.
