Back in your cage. Actually, I halfway expected to find someone expounding on the tender delights of sniffing a woman’s dirty sneaker, claiming how a hairy, aromatic under arm turns him on or something such. :rolleyes: ---

Dry, The OP was about unusual things that turn people on. Crime is just one of the many things that turn me on…I consider it one of my odder. The whole ‘intellegent, respectful, talented, older guy’ deal being my ususal. Better? ---

A woman in one of my button-down white collar work shirts, with the tails of the shirt hanging mid-thigh, wearing nothing else. That’s a complete turn-on! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SPOOFE Bo Diddly \* > \*\*Socks. Black socks. \*\* SO CLOSE… but no cigar. WHITE SOCKS. I don’t know what it is. Give me a good pair of legs, and throw a nice pair of socks on there… scrumptious. I really dig women in hats, too. And I’ve never understood this… If you have ever seen a woman in a Tuxedo… THAT is the sexiest thing you’ll ever see. (I don’t know why) Screeme ---

Definitely not the topic to ponder while I’m at work and at least six hours from seeing hubby! But since the damage is already done: The hip/lower back area on a man - drives me totally nuts! I can’t watch Beastmaster without getting totally turned on, what with Marc Singer running around in that low-slung leather number. Mmmmmm. I also like tall, beefy guys with broad shoulders. They don’t have to be built, as long as they’ve got good shoulder span. I recently discovered that having the inside of my elbow kissed/licked is an enormous turn-on. Finally, walking around looking normal and decent, but not wearing underwear, or wearing sexy underwear, or (on one occasion) wearing only sexy underwear under my winter coat. ---

Women in overalls… I do a lot of cycling. So I started to shave my legs like the guys on the Tour De France. The number of young ladies who just want rub my legs is really quite amazing. What else should I be shaving? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Colin Wilkinson \* > \*\*Women in overalls… > > \*\* I’m right with you. Especially overalls that are a little to big with a shirt that’s a little to short. That area between the bottom of the shirt and the waist of the overalls drives me nutty. I’m also a big fan of ponytails, especially if it’s black hair with a red scrunchie. Oh my. ---

In no particular order… 1)a beard, a nice full trim beard on a guy. 2)long hair, especially on the shoulders and down the back. 3)bare feet, especially the soles. ---

Women in uniform, all kinds of uniform, but particularly BDU’s. Every Thursday, the ROTC’s would wear BDU’s to class, etc. I always wore an extra-long sweatshirt on Thursdays, to avoid social embarrasment 😉 When women wear BDU’s, bonus turn-on points for wearing the baseball-type cap and putting hair up into a bun or ponytail. Yumm. Also like women in cop uniforms. I’m not sure if I’d like this as playacting – I think it’s gotta be real.
