[QUOTE=Lust4Life] No cite but last year a report came out about the rise in infections on peoples arses caused by thongs getting right up the persons ringpiece aided and abetted by sweat and spreading bacteria from the anus over the cheeks. Unless you’ve had a bath or shower since your last crap it is not 100%clean if you’ve just used toilet paper even though you cant see anything,thongs?A total turn off. [/QUOTE] Oh, dear. My obsessive-compulsive mind did not need this information. I can generally ignore the fact that most people in my neck of the woods don’t share my habit of showering off after every bowel movement, but I think that thongs just went from “meh” to “yech!” in my mind. Back on topic, I have never understood the degree to which so many men appreciate the cheerleader and catholic schoolgirl uniforms. Or the whole lollipop/pigtails thing. ---

I shouldn’t take it personally but I get mildly hurt by the large number of replies saying how unsexy large breasts are. Believe it or not, they aren’t much fun for those of us who have to walk round with them either. But unlike long hair, body hair etc there is precious little that can be done to remedy this short of surgery. ---

> [@](#): > > I shouldn’t take it personally but I get mildly hurt by the large number of replies saying how unsexy large breasts are. Don’t be. The title of the thread is “Things you’re supposed to find sexy…”, and most guys do find large breasts sexy – the point is these responders feel they’re outside the norm. For the record, I find large breasts VERY sexy. Which is a good thing, 'cause pepper mill has 'em. ---

I just find it a (little) ungallant for gentlemen to make unflattering judgements on womens’ bodies. And believe me, I would find it equally so if the thread had a lot of responses declaring that small breasts were unsexy. Hell, I felt bad for balding guys reading this thread. DB, just for clarity, when I said they aren’t much fun to cart round, I didn’t put that as clearly as I could have done. I meant the physical discomfort caused by the additional weight putting strain on the back and shoulder muscles, rather than the aesthetics. Although from a fashion pov, they are are indeed a nuisance there too, as I’m sure it is for those with very small breasts too, fashion being geared towards the average. > [@](#): > > It’s not the large breasts that are unsexy, it’s just the large fake ones, which I gather yours aren’t since you indicate they’re no fun to walk around with. The unnatural look of the fake ones is what I find unsexy. Thanks - this is not a distinction stated in every reply though. And don’t get me wrong, obviously people are attracted to what they are attracted to. I think it is primal and can’t be helped. But I think a little bit of tact could have been used and after a while, the sheer number of people slagging off big breasts just got to me a bit. \*\*CalMeacham \*\* & \*\*Rascal’s Mom \*\* - thanks! Much appreciated 🙂 ---

As a straight male, I personally don’t find lingerie all that attractive. I’d much rather see a woman in the nude. Whenever one of my girlfriends has it on, I immediately take it off of them and just admire the natural beauty. I also don’t like women with more than one or two earrings in their ears. To me, there is nothing trashier than a woman with a bunch of metal running up and down their ear. Fake tits = insecure woman to me. They are also ugly if larger than they should be. NATURAL large breasts I have no problem with. ---

[QUOTE=Sleeps With Butterflies] D’oh! I knew I forgot something in my post. I was going to (from a woman’s perspective) address this. I have been shaving it all away since I was about 17. A couple of times I decided to let it grow and just hated the way it felt. About 3 years ago, I had it lasered off. So far, no regrets. I’m now 33. One of my friends asked me if it bothered me that it would make me “borderline fetish material” for pedophiles. I don’t get this and have to wonder about the sexual hangups of people who believe this. I didn’t do it for men, I did it for me. It feels cleaner and better to me. To each their own, but I don’t get the pedophile comments. [/QUOTE] Yes, thank you both. I dig the shaved look and it has nothing to do with the lil girl she used to be. I also dig the shaved _feel_. Much better than a forest. My own… Large fake tits. _shudder_ Most large tits for that matter, though on some specific frames they look wonderful. Please place a set of Bs or lower, maybe Cs and I’ll be in bliss. Valley girl blond hair. You know the kind. sunshine on the scalp, natural or from a bottle: no thanks. Give me some brown, or black, a dirty blond. By all means throw a _natural_ this way, but none of that all too popular uniform blond hair. To add to that most forms of bottled red-head. I just don’t see many(any) fake reds that look good. Thongs. Uber-muscles of either sex. disturbing to say the least. I like me something natural, looks soooo much better than taking 5 hours to look like shit. ---

_Sees ad that says “Bra for Men” and shudders_ Definitely, I don’t find _that_ sexy! 😉 As a large-breasted woman, I don’t mind the comments here. To each their own, and it is not if the opinion is coming from one of my gentleman callers. Much of what I don’t find sexy has already been written. Body builders, men in uniforms (with the exception of labcoats), crew cuts, etc. Then there are the guys that are intermediate between body builders and natural/fit. They seem to want to be bodybuilders, but haven’t quite reach there. Not attractive either. And many fraternity looks. Sometimes pretty to look at, but more like watching a pretty painting than someone I want to go to bed with. Also, since I’m considered smart and I’m not thin nor slender (but not obese, just a bit overweight, and working on it), friends and family think that I’m attracted to: 1. Other nerdy geeky men. Eh… Nope, not really, not particularly, not the first thing I look for in a guy. 2. Pudgy, slightly overweight, beer belly body types. Eh, nope, I want them more slender/fit. I’m soft and mushy and I have all the pudginess and fat I want to touch, I don’t want that in a partner. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=InvisibleWombat] My apologies, **Cisco** and **DigitalC** –I didn’t phrase that well and I didn’t mean to cause offense. I have no problem with people who don’t _have_ chest hair (or any other kind of hair, for that matter). I just don’t understand the ones who remove it. [/QUOTE] Hey, no apology necessary, I was just kidding. I mean I really don’t have chest hair, but I knew you weren’t trying to insult me :p.
