Things you should not find sexy, and yet do

Billy Idol.

German accents.

I have a thing about men dominating women. I realize that’s sort of a normal turn-on, but when the domination is accompanied by violence, it really confuses me. It’s hard to explain.

You know the scene in Constantine (an otherwise forgettable movie) where the protagonist drowns Angela in the bathtub? Sofuckinghot. I’m totally disturbed by how arousing that is to me. It’s not the drowning that’s hot (drowning is not hot), it’s the physical act of domination. Also the fact that he had more information than she did about the situation, and was acting in her self-interest. Inequality of information is sexy, especially when it leads to dominance.

I’m not sure if it’s really something I dislike about myself, but I’m also really attracted to socially awkward men. The more painfully socially inept they are, the better. And if they have a stutter or some kind of speech impediment, hot damn.

Older women who carry themselves with an air of dignity. Think Katharine Hepburn from The Lion In Winter where she was in her sixties, or Judi Dench in… well just Judi Dench really. I know that biologically speaking it makes no sense to be attracted women above a child bearing age, but there you have it.

I knew I was somebody’s fetish. :slight_smile: Seriously, it’s nice to read that not all men like women very, very thin.

Mine? Guns. I’m a typical, left-leaning, liberal Canadian who loathes the very idea of gun ownership. I’ve never fired one, never owned one. But a man with a gun? Yes. Hot. Dangerous and hot.

I hate myself for reacting that way. Big, dumb, phallic power symbol.

Which leads to… cops. Now, this there’s no reason to not find sexy. They’re allowed to have guns! And they have uniforms, and guns, and nightsticks, and handcuffs… Mercy, officer, take me now. I’m mean, take me in now–

I surrender.

You should check out him being nude in Eques. Or maybe you shouldn’t, it might make you question your sexuality a bit too much. :smiley:

Ahh, now I see. ::insert nodding head smilie:: I’m none of those things (I’m just a lowly legal word processor/aging college student), but it’s funny–in the 10+ years that I’ve worked with the type (twats included), I’ve very rarely seen them wear metal taps. Or any taps at all, for that matter (I really do think that, here, in the States, it’s a generational thing, which I reckon makes me a freakishly old 38). To tell you the truth, I can’t remember the last time I saw *anyone * else besides me wearing *metal * taps, but I know they must exist because my cobbler keeps them in stock, and though I’ve been going to him for several years, it really can’t be just for me.

Anyway, thank you so much for the explanation. And yeah, I might ordinarily be happy to assist you in the deed, but remember: they may be insufferable jerks, but damn if I don’t find them hot! What with going weak in the knees and the blood rushing to other parts of my anatomy, I doubt that I’d have the strength to hang so much as a Christmas light. :smiley:

I’m bookmarking these posts for next time someone diagnoses me with nice guy syndrome.

When I was a young captain, a lieutenant named Susan leaned across the desk to whisper to me some battalion gossip. She was sucking on a peppermint. When I smell peppermint, I still think of her.

I have to say (and I appreciate this may be viewed as harsh) anyone who knows that they have an attraction to people who are poisonous and poor examples of the gender in question really doesn’t deserve a lot of sympathy.

“I’m really turned on by womanising men who will treat me with no respect and just take what they want from me”.

:dubious: Are you not seeing the flaw in your logic there? Sure, the model of such behaviour may be attractive because it’s dominant and very masculine (attractive) but such men will leave you dissatisfied by the very nature of who they are. Indeed the idea of treat them mean, keep them keen does work but there is a point where it borders on unhealthy.

But… I thought this was a thread about “things you should not find sexy, and yet do”. That doesn’t mean the people in here act upon the impulse.

President Clinton. Although I wouldn’t allow his cigar anywhere near me.

(1) I wasn’t asking for sympathy.
(2) I have already stated that I realize it’s unhealthy and make a concerted effort to not develop relationships with people like this anymore
(3) it doesn’t change the fact that it still turns me on.

I *have * seen the flaw in the logic and no longer pursue relationships with those who are, in essence, just big ol’ bullies. I will probably always be turned on by a guy that is a bad boy and mean as can be - that doesn’t mean I involve myself in relationships with that dynamic, though. I learned my lesson and leave the bad boys for nothing but being used or fantasy land.

Back hair – the more the better. Ditto for chest hair, but I don’t think that’s quite so unusual despite the current trend of waxing/shaving (and even that shows signs of going away; I’m seeing a return of chest hair on models, for example).

All the media (and the hair removal industry in particular) tell me body hair is undesirable, but seriously, what’s more masculine?

On the hair topic there is this chick at my local comic book shop and she is really knowledgable about comics which I find hot. She is pretty and has a good figure which I find hot. She has arm pit hair which I find hot. :eek: And not just the “she hasn’t shaved in a day or two” but “man arm pit hair hairy”.

I was reared to think that was gross but I like. Maybe it’s just the whoe package that I like.

:smiley:

Apologies if you thought I was singling you out with my previous comment - whilst you (and others) inspired it within the context of this thread it’s more of a personal bugbear of mine that I just needed to vent. I’m doing that a lot in this thread aren’t I?

Anyway, I hope no offence was taken. :slight_smile:

Exactly.

Priceguy, I think “nice guy syndrome” is quite real, and theorize the attraction many women have to dominant jerks is the opposite of the older men finding barely-legal women so sexy thing men are describing here. Acting on such urges is generally not a good idea, but deep down our animal instincts say “Rowr! Now that’s someone who could have my/protect my babies!”

I always tell young nice guys that they’ll make someone a great second husband someday.

We call 'em “DDWs” in my circle. “Distance Does Wonders”. Related is the summerteeth. Some are there, some are not.

Exactly. You’d think with the prevalence of posts about hot-but-crazy women that guys are conflicted about, they’d cut us some slack on this one. :slight_smile: It really is the same sort of thing.

No offence taken. I do understand - I have the same feelings about it sometimes.

Also, I reupped my subscription just to reply to you so you wouldn’t think I had stormed off, so if you are ever in this neck of the woods you owe me a drink, but only if you call me a silly bitch first. :slight_smile:
