Quality of Sex, a poll for men.

Just curious due to all of the dating and sex threads running around the last couple of days.

Men, is the quality of your orgasm enhanced by a woman’s looks if there are no other factors? In other words an ordinary woman and a beautiful woman are exactly alike in their sex skill levels.

Is the quality of the orgasm itself (not the leading up to getting excited because she’s so hot part) enhanced because of her beauty over that of the other equally skilled but not as hot (or possibly plain) woman?

It’s a trap!

:smiley:

I’ve never noticed a difference–and I’ve had partners of varying degrees of traditional physical attractiveness. It’s all about the way we move together.

I’m in no position to offer anything like controlled-experiment data. I will say, though, that sexual satisfaction ain’t just about the big O.

I find it hard to work out how you would conduct a controlled experiment. But my comment, from observations a long time ago, is that it’s just one factor among many that contribute.

They all look the same with the lights off.

So do we.

It ain’t what you got, it is how you use it.
If you like the way she uses it,
don’t complain about what she’s got.

Tell ya what: Tonight I’ll masturbate while thinking about Catherine Zeta-Jones or Alyson Hannigan. Then tomorrow night I’ll masturbate while thinking about Janet Reno or Margaret Thatcher. Then I’ll report back on the relative quality of my orgasms.

What if Catherine or Alyson just lay there like a warm corpse, but Janet or Maggie was a tigress in the sack? Wouldn’t that trump the hotness of Cathy or Alyson? Just wonderin’.

No. The orgasm itself is unaffected by the attractiveness of the partner.

I disagree to an extent. By FAR the abilities of your partner play a MUCH larger role in the quality of the orgasm. The most beautiful women I have slept with are not at the top of my list for sexual gratification (not that I didn’t have fun :smiley: ).

That said the OP specified all other things being equal except looks does that change the quality of the orgasm and I’d say yes. Part of my excitement level is influenced by the attractiveness of my partner and I suspect this is true for most people.

Again though the caveat is that looks actually rank rather low in the ranks of sexual gratification. Looks is usually what gets you to take off your clothes for the other person in the first place. After that many other more important factors start to kick in.

Indeed. The problem is that “looks” is entirely in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes that gap-toothed girl just tickles my fancy and the bombshell untickles it.

I imagine the quality of the orgasm might depend on the nature of the sexual act too, as in is it a lustful romp or a deep, mystical experience? I suspect looks might be more important in sex that is based primarily on animal attraction. Unfortunately, I too am in no position to conduct an experiment.

This is all excellent news. I’m going to completely let myself go No more shaving, hair-brushing, makeup, clothes other than sweatpants. If it doesn’t matter. Thanks, boys!


People are saying that looks don’t make a difference in the quality of an orgasm. NOT that looks don’t make a difference in whether or not they’ll actually want to be around you/have sex with you in the first place.

but if it doesn’t matter whyyyy do i have to bottthherrrrr.

You need to look good for all the other women who see you. They decide if you have sex or not, you know.

I’m pretty sure that it was the topic of another thread that women actually ‘bother’ for other women…

How to Impress a Woman
Wine her, Dine her, Call her, Hug her,
Hold her, Surprise her, Compliment her,
Smile at her, Laugh with her,
Cry with her, Cuddle with her,
Shop with her, Give her jewelry,
Buy her flowers, Hold her hand,
Write love letters to her,
Go to the end of the earth and back for her.

How to Impress a Man
Show up naked.
Bring beer.

Was that a whine? We don’t take kindly upon whiners 'round here…

I think the only way you could even vaguely enter the realm of objectivity with something like this is to do the following:

1.) Be in approximately 10 sexual relationships that all lasted about the same amount of time.

2.) Compare the sex with the fugliest of the 10 with the hottest of the ten.

I disagree with the ‘lights off’ statement. Turning the lights off doesn’t hide fat rolls, chin stubble or other things that are as unpleasant to feel as they are to see. :o

yeah i’m whining. trying to be hot is really really hard. (thats what she said) its exhausting
