Fake boobs. I mean, what’s the point? You are who you are, and if silicon tits helps you define your personality then you have very low self esteem. On occasion I “research” the internet for various examples. 😉 Natural, no matter how small, are infinitely more sexy than fake. In fact, for some weird reason, I have an attraction to small, and perhaps even bordering on non-existent titties. Women who knowingly have really small breasts but are willing to bare all in a photo-shoot grab my attention. Come to think of it, the same is true for chubby girls, and older women. I think I’m turning this into an antithetical response, so I’ll quit… And go do some more research. ---

Anything that bespeaks a serious energy investment in one’s appearance (e.g., ripped muscles, waxed chest, etc.). Vanity is the ultimate turn-off. ---

Opentoed heels. I’m sorry, but I have vivid memories of my mother and various aunties wearing those. Their feet were not pretty at all. And pantyhose was de rigeur too. :eek: ---

Women masturbating on camera. I’m straight but I do not find the vagina attractive at all. I want to gag when I see the pink tissue with the mucus and everything…bleh. I feel the same away about penises, but that might just be because I’m not attracted to men. Also not turned on by lingerie or high heels. ---

[QUOTE=pbbth] Really muscular men. I prefer my men a bit squishy. [/QUOTE] Ditto. I don’t mind some muscles, but I don’t really like a defined “six-pack”, and I hate that weird line that super-buff guys get at their waist/hip, making them look like Ken dolls with removable legs. Also, I don’t like tall men (having to stretch way up for a kiss is irritating), especially if they’re skinny. I like them a couple inches taller than me, and built solidly. And squeezable. ---

At the risk of posting to one of those threads where no one actually cares what you say, let alone reads it: 1. I find nothing at all sexy about pornography. It’s boring. Sex is meant to be done in person. 2. Blonds, especially dyed blonds. For some reason that’s supposed to be more attractive, especially in women. I’ve never understood why. ---

[QUOTE=IntelSoldier] Butts. I’m just not into them. For me to notice a woman’s ass, it has to be a super-perfect one that other guys drool over. Even then, I’m just like “meh, yeah that’s hot.” [/QUOTE] Seconded. Also garters, tattoos, and girl-on-girl action. I absolutely hate the look of tans, especially when combined with dyed blonde hair. Unfortunately for me, this look still seems to be in fashion. Jewelry does nothing for me. Simple jewelry isn’t so bad, but anything with precious stones is an active turn-off. ---

I am in agreement with many of those mentioned already. I don’t like: [ul] [li]High heels[/li][li]Make up[/li][li]Stockings and suspenders and tights and all that kind of thing[/li][li]Large, and especially fake, breasts[/li][li]Tattoos and piercings[/li][li]Fancy and frilly lingerie[/li][/ul] I am a simple man at heart, and prefer casual dress on a slim-hipped woman. If I see someone in sneakers, a loose jumper, and well fitting jeans, with their hair tied in a ponytail, it will do more for me than any of that traditional junk. ---

Body builders. I just don’t like a lot of muscles on a guy. Or fat. I’ve always been attracted to guys who are fairly thin … like runners, but with less developed leg muscles. Give me anything from tall and lanky to little skinny guys. And don’t get me started on trimmed eyebrows. ---

Especially when it’s that shade of blond which exactly matches their (artificially or not-)bronzed skin. It looks like they’re totally invisible or part of a bad photo. ---

Bare legs. The fashionistas have decreed that pantyhose are never to be worn, but womens’ legs look 1000x better in them. Pointy toed shoes. Makes people look like freaks. Thongs. I don’t floss my rectum and I don’t want to see women flossing theirs. Tattoos, aka tramp stamps. That butterfly on your ankle makes you look like a tramp. Lipstick. Give me natural lips, not something that you’re going to leave marks all lover me with. Long long fingernails.
