I prefer a woman naked and in my bed.

I prefer a man in a snowmobile suit and in Texarkana.

If a woman is wearing sexy clothes, I would be willing to help her out of them though.

I wouldn’t help the man out though. I’ve never been to Texarkana, and never plan to be.l

I think lingerie looks goofy on most people who aren’t supermodels.  
My wife thinks penii look goofy on most people who aren’t supermodels (and even on plenty who do).

It was actually an erroneous click I didn’t notice before submitting. But it also could be the “La la la … look how innocent I am …” look, now that I pay more attention.

And I am going to start seriously looking into something that plugs into the wall … batteries are expensive … and wear out _far_ too quickly. _sigh_

Jay Leno seems to say this every couple of months: Men don’t give a dime for sexy clothes at home. I  
Save the sexy clothes for restaurants and going to parties, somewhere.  
At home, only nudity is sexy. If you change out of your clothes and then into a sexy nighty, you just killed the moment.

All I can say is that the Victoria’s Secret catalogue is a gross misrepresentation of the Real World Experience. I love my wife; I think she’s beautiful, in a normal sort of way (as opposed to the “what planet did she come from?” supermodel kind of way). But, bless her, she does not look like Stephanie Seymore in a teddy. I’m not complaining about that, it’s just a fact. Not only does that stuff not look, in person, like it does on those glossy pages, all the lace and frills, up close, actually look kind of _ridiculous_. So, you’ve got goofy on one side, or all nice and smooth and curvy and nekkid on the other side, and I’ll be doggone if I pick the former over the latter.

I agree. I see my object of desire in sexy clothes, and get turned on, but only because it makes me think about what’s underneath. And how bad I wish I could see it.

There is nothing anywhere on Earth prettier than a nude woman. However, a pretty Teddy on a soon-to-be-nude woman isn’t to be despised.

There are two answers here, I think.

Sexy to touch and rub up against? Naked, naked, naked. Mmm, skin.

Sexy to _look at?_ Ah, that’s a different thing entirely. To me, the hottest imagery involves clothes being removed. A beautiful woman, shirt unbuttoned, lots of cleavage, partially bared breast; or a t-shirt pulled up to expose the belly; or a skirt lifted to show the hip. Not actual nudity, but _on the way to it._ That, to me, is hot-hot-hot.

The sexiest way to see a woman, in my mind? Blue jeans, topless, facing away so I’m looking at her bare back, the hair falling over her shoulders, just a hint of the curve of her cheekbone and jawline, one hand on top of her head so the roundness of her breast is visible on one side…

Ummm…

I’ll be in mah bunk.

Gym shorts and shirtless for about 1 minute, then maybe a jock for about 30 seconds and finally NEKKID for hours on end!

And **Elenia28** I find women kinda silly looking naked. I mean what am I suppose do with all that stuff up there just hanging around and nothing downstairs hanging. It just looks all mixed up to me.

Your choice.

And I see that **Inigo Montoya** answered me, before he took his “leave”. Before then, I would have said that I’ve heard Coors is the worst beer ever, but hey! **Inigo**! You bring whatever you want, OK? You’re welcome no matter what.

Thirded! 😃

My preference – I’m not sure really. Sure, he looks really sexy with the glasses and the black t-shirt and those trousers, but he’s just as sexy when naked.

Do I have to pick one?  
And damnit! Now _I’m_ feeling frustrated. And he’s not here. _pout_
