I’ve never understood that idea. I find the penis to generally be great to look at. The only ones that I find somewhat unattractive are ones with a really long foreskin while flaccid. ---

They run up the stairs and in front of their eyes the doorknob turns into a great big monstrous floppy veiny cock, with big hairy balls. One of them looks at the other - now these are monster-killers, you understand, pretty tough young men, who don’t bat an eye at a giant Meat Monster in the basement, and he says, “That door can NOT be opened!” I lol’ed. ---

Ugh, I just knew this thread would be an endless parade of contrarian netizens trumpeting their obvious sexuality as if it was an interesting characteristic worthy of notation on their own SDMB trading card. Huh, in a world which has endlessly procreated to the tune of 7 billion +, we’ve found a woman who likes cock, and a man that appreciates a good pussy. Shocker, that. ---

I’ll have to go with Lovecraftian Nightmare for $500, Alex. I’m straight but, yeah, I am not at all in love with the look of a woman’s external genitalia. Someone upthread used the word ‘squick’, which describes precisely my reaction to viewing it, its layers, its protuberances, and its attendant secretions. I’ll do pretty much whatever she wants, as long as I don’t have to look at it. ---
