The genitals really are the ugliest parts of the human body, aren't they?

Genitals are pretty ugly. They serve their purpose and feel good when stimulated. But thats about it. Porn pics that focus on that area bore the heck out of me.

Whenever I’m down there doing my business, my eyes are closed anyway. Aren’t most guy’s?

No.

Because they’re gross and wrinkly and sometimes hairy. Yuck. Yet I’ll do all the fun things I can to them with gusto to make my partner happy. Tis the right thing to do. Just means I ain’t thrilled looking at them. Shrug.

No, I understand. Takin’ one for the team, always a good thing. I’m just not easily grossed out about much of anything, so I guess that’s why this thread is curious to me.

Bette Midler is a goddess and I love her. That’s all I have to say about that.

I dunno… Wouldn’t taco sauce hurt if used as a lube/flavoring?

You have to be very careful when ordering a sandwich in Thailand, heh. :wink:

Is this a joke about tonal languages/near-homophones/foreign slang, or just silly randomness that’s wooshing me?

Huh, lots of interesting comments.

Personally I quite like a close up view of lady bits. No 2 sets ever seem to look the same, each has their own uniqueness.

I do like to take some time to explore when I get access to a new one, nothing ugly about them at all IMO, and I keep my eyes open while down there as long as there’s something to see. If you get in a 69 and all I can see is a close up of a puckered star fish, I tend to close the eyes.

Genitals are like snowflakes.

…they’re best when they melt on a tongue…?

They get warm if you hold them?

I have had a guy say (very earnestly), ‘my God, that is the prettiest pussy I have ever seen.’

My response was, ‘Uh, thanks.’ It’s been a number of years and I still don’t have a good comeback.

Not sure if I care if my lover likes the looks or not. As long as they do their job (bonus points for doing it well) what does the visual matter?

Just wink it at him. :wink:

Is it unusually attractive? Current lover hasn’t mentioned, I guess?
You should ask him and report back- To Fight Ignorance.

I happen to think that my lover’s penis is quite handsome and sexy - why with his perfect mushroom-like head…I could just gobble him up! :smiley: He’s quite fond of my parts, too. :slight_smile:

Think she looks good sitting still, wait till you take her for a test drive.

Lotta defenders of genital-beauty in this thread, and I do get where you’re coming from, believe me. But, I think it’s significant that there is no human culture, AFAIK, where post-pubescents typically go around completely naked in public, and the one area always covered is the crotch, even if by nothing more than a couple of thongs of rawhide. Can’t think of any utilitarian reason for that; gotta be esthetic. Our tool-using pre-human ancestors probably wore some kind of covering there.

It’s impressive to watch two Amazonian tribesmen, wearing nothing but penis sheaths, rubbing their spears on grindstones to sharpen them, and making dirty jokes about it! They get the symbolism of “spear” and “grinding” and laugh about it, the same way industrialized workers might when inserting a piston in a shaft.

Freud (yes, I know, Freud) said that the visual stimulus of naked genitals was too intense for comfort. Not that the sight is ugly – not an aesthetic thing – but just overwhelming. I think there might be something to that idea.

(When there’s someone naked in the room, it’s tough to look in any other direction!)

I disagree with this. Off the top of my head, Yanamami men wear nothing on their penises but a single leather thong tying it to their belt. This keeps their penises from dragging on the ground when sitting or otherwise hunkering down.

I have been to lots of nudist events. It’s not awkward like most people think. I have always felt very respected at those events, even though it’s obvious that I am not a full fledged member of the community. My “cotton tail” gives it away. People neither stare, nor try hard to avert their eyes. I was able to easily converse with other naked people while being naked. Naked does not always equal sexual.

Umm…what? Can’t possibly imagine the necessity of protecting a delicate, important organ? Giver of life and all that? I mean, sure, cover yours up if it’s hideous, but some of us just want to avoid dirt, cinders, and prying eyes.

I love to look at girly parts and when my sexy girlfriend and I do it, I not only watch but leave my glasses on so I can see it clearly and in sharp focus. I have told her how beautiful her pussy is, and I mean it, too! And ditto for her cute little butt-hole!

I don’t think a naked woman in an “everyday” non-sexual situation would really have noticeable genitals, would she? I mean, it’s pretty between the legs and the most noticeable bits are enclosed by the labia. I’d think that to really “notice” anything you’d have to be trying or she’d have to be sitting in a fairly spread out position. The intricacies of a vagina (in the general, not specific sense) aren’t really the kind of thing you can just notice while walking around, especially if she has public hair which would obscure the visual even more.
