rinni: Mmm. Three out of four ain’t bad, is it? I’ve always wanted to grow my hair out real long, but I couldn’t do it growing up (mom’s a licensed hairdresser). Now, if my hair so much as touches my ears, it’s out of regulation. I can’t regain control of my hair until late 2006.

> Women with little dark spots under their eyes. Not the kinda spots you get by being a druggy, and not the kind you get by staying up all night…the best way I can describe them is to say that I often see women with glasses with these spots. I’m not sure what the hell they are, but I think they’re cute.

The nose-pads on glasses leave little marks under the eyes of the people who wear them for years. That may be what you’re thinking of.

As for me, my preferences change often. Some of the more prominent ones (not all at once) are:

- Asian girls
- Filipino girls in particular
- Redheads
- Blondes
- Gamer girls
- Stoner girls
- Big breasts
- Small breasts
- Cute glasses
- Girls who drink
- Girls who don’t drink
- Girls who can’t dance very well (I can’t dance, so that makes me more comfortable in dancing-type situations)
- Bisexual girls
- Girls who play sports

Like I said, my preferences change a lot, so some of these are conflicting, and in that kind of case it’s one for a little while, the other one for a little while, etc.

Hmm…

I love hip-bones and the curve of a waist, but especially hip-bones. There’s something about them that makes me want to leave marks.

I also love a chick who drinks beer straight from the bottle. I think that it’s undeniably hot, although this could be because it’s supposed to be a stereotypical lesbian way to drink, so I might just be thinking of my increased chances with a girl if she drinks straight from the bottle. It’s the same way with rugby players; I think that they’re hot, but it could just be because I feel like I have a better chance at getting laid.

Wet clothing. Not the staged wet t-shirt contest stuff but rather the unintentional or spontaneous. Like an unexpected downpour on a hot summer day or that mishap while mooring the boat. T-shirt and jeans, dress or blouse and skirt, all good.

Another foot-person here. Capri pants, painted toenails (oh god how I love painted toenails), those little toe-rings. And flat shoes; high heels don’t ring my bell at all.

1. women with a large mons pubis
2. a shapely derriere (nice ass) in nice, sexy french panties
3. a “full bush”
4. a woman who is passionate during sex (nails, rhythmic movements, talking, moans, uninhibited)
5. tight pants revealing camel toes on an attractive woman
6. nipples showing through a blouse on a woman who is attractive
7. the ‘view’ of a woman with a great body, from behind, naked, and watching as I make love to her…doing the 69 with a beautiful, sexy, passionate woman.
8. watching a woman masturbate
9. anal sex with a woman who is attractive and likes it.

I could continue but I might be banned. 😃

I need to go take a cold shower. 🙂

You know, I thought I would have to be the only person in the world who could possibly be turned on by this…

EVERYTHING I find attractive can be summarized in four words: Willow Rosenberg, season one.

Facial hair. I revel in masculinity, and to me (relatively short) facial hair is such a powerful symbol for it that it’s pretty much a prerequisite for a second glance. I love the way it feels against my cheek, the way it tickles my lips in a kiss, the crunchy sound it makes when I scratch it with my fingernails… sideburns too, as an extension of this.

Glasses. I have never dated a person who’s worn glasses, and I probably never will, because (on the right person) they turn me on so much that I get flustered & intimidated. I can’t explain it… I’m guessing it’s the connotational link to intelligence, and the fact that I’ve never really dated anyone up to par intellectually, either.

Musical talent is a huge culprit in many of my crushes… guitarists & piano players especially, and even more so if they can sing. The intimidation factor here is like ten times that for glasses.

Lately I’ve had a thing for Asian guys, too, especially darker ones, that DON’T dye their hair. It must have something to do with the fact that I’m taking Japanese…

Pink Unicorn help me if I ever stumble across an Asian guitarist with glasses & a goatee… I think my panties might fly off of their own accord!

I thought of a few more…  
…short people. I’m only 1,73 m myself, and I like the equality bit.

…bespectacled men.

…female bassists.

…having a darker skin right beneath your eyes, like Marion Cotillard (who played Joséphine in Big Fish) or Billy Joe (of Green Day).

I have a somewhat unusual fetish, which I share.

I have a platonic friend, my best friend, who likes to dress up in stiletto heels and stockings, a short skirt and sweater, and an apron - and do the dishes, vaccum and wash the floor in her apartment while I watch.

She really, really gets off on this - and so do I. Otherwise, our relationship is completely non-sexual.

I can’t explain it. It is not a domination thing at all - I don’t _order_ her to do these chores or anything like that.

I guess to an outside observer, it would seem silly as hell.

Why are these women never in the bars where my band plays? 😃

Female appearance that gets me going:

- nice, round, firm butt
- red or jet black hair with pale skin and red lips (the Irish in me talking here)
- small breasts
- I absolutely adore Japanese women. Miho Yoshioka. Mmmmmm…

As to my own personal kinks:

- spanking, first and foremost - I’ve been a spanko since I was a very small boy (and I’m a Top - I administer the spankings, not receive them) When other kids were “playing doctor” I was inventing little spanking games
- light bondage and S&M

To tell the truth, I’m willing to experiment with just about anything. About the only “kinks” I have no interest in are: gay male sex, scat, watersports, animals and gory, bloody S&M.
