It’s really difficult to relax and enjoy it when you’re thinking “No! Food doesn’t go there! Awwww man… I’m gonna get a horrible UTI from this. Might as well pick up some cranberry juice on my way home.”

I won’t let anyone put food “down there,” but a little feeding each other strawberries as dessert from dinner? Some champagne? Sharing some rich chocolate cake with my husband? Sexy. As foreplay. Outside of the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom? You are NOT putting chocolate sauce on my vajajay!

Exactly…some on my boobs or belly, fine, but on my pudenda…nope. That’s a no no. You want sex within the next few weeks, you will be steering clear of doing that.

Hey, we’re not here to judge. Wait, yes we are.

While I love BJ shots, I’m not fond of cunnilingus. In porn, that is. Another example of how porn and real life don’t resemble each other.

Yeah, I worry about that too. 😃

Also, for the record: real whipped cream made of actual cream curdles at body temperature. So not sexy.

Yup. Honey or chocolatte sauce on the neck (clean it up fast, before it runs! :D) breasts, belly or back (make sure you cleaned the front thoroughly, first!) can be a lot of fun.  
Elsewhere, it’s an invitation to a health issue.

I don’t even mind it on my asscheeks. Just drizzle it where it might not come out easily. ☹

I know, right. I was just thinking about stopping off at Dairy Queen on my way home… for a sundae… which I will eat out of a _bowl_.

I find tattoos endlessly sexy, and spend a lot of time making sure that my man knows I appreciate his ink. I also have nearly all of my tattoos placed on parts of my body that I especially enjoy being touched, because some people like to touch tattoos. My man included. Bonus!

Don’t care much for serious sex in porn. It’s a much bigger turn on if the people look like they are in love and having fun, which seems pretty rare. The pro’s aren’t good enough actors, or most viewers don’t care about that so they don’t bother. The amateurs may be in real relationships, but are more likely trying to copy what they see.

It’s all about identifying with the people you are watching, and I am not that interested in a woman who is having sex with me because she will have sex with anyone and doesn’t give a shit. The people don’t even need to be all that attractive so long as they seem to be having a good time.

> Just to take the opposite position… naked women. Clothed women are far, far sexier to me than naked. For one thing, most people look kind of silly naked - they sag, they flop, there are fat rolls and so on, even if they’re pretty skinny. Basically, unless you’ve got small enough breasts to not sag, and very, very little bodyfat, not to mention great skin… you’re way sexier in clothing. Good clothing, anyways.
> 
> On that note, large breasts. Yeah, they look decent with a ridiculous amount of bra support, but once they’re naked, they’re floppy and flabby. No thank you.

I agree about large breasts. Anything more than an armful is a waste.

Bottle blondes makes me ill. I hate fake tans and extreme muscles (like a lot of other girls, too.)

Men that shave their body hair kinda weird me out. It just seems unnatural. And unmanly. And itchy!

Greasy hair, when it is purposely styled like that. Do people still really find that attractive? So ew!

“Pretty” boys. Give me a man’s man any day. I like a man who can get his hands dirty… Build stuff, break things that need breaking, kill and cook things, sweat for goodness sake! If the most work you’ve ever put in was picking out what to wear to the office today, you’re not for me.

Of course, my man is brilliant on top of being wonderfully handy. It isn’t that I don’t like the geeks… They are all I do like! But geeks that put down the books and, say, make me a cribbage board? Beyond sexy!
