Ankles. If a woman with slim pretty ankles wears something that shows them off, like a chain or ribbon or even a tattoo (though I don’t normally like tattoos) then they get all my attention. I also like to see flat stomachs, long necks, and strong arms, on a woman. Unfortunately, women who have these features sure aren’t interested in guys like me. Darn it. ---

If her hair is up in a ponytail, the little hairs at the base of the skull. It’s like her pubes opened a branch office. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] ohgodohgodohgodohgod Sorry, I went a little woozy there for a moment. Jason Dohring is just…gah. Lovely. Lovely man. _drool_ [/quote] In looking for a picture of him, I found out that he was a Scientologist. Too bad, eh? His is a face that grows on you too. At first I thought he was not cute, just a hot bod, but he has very attractive facial expressions. He makes doe eyes at Veronica that would melt butter. I find that appealing too. > [@](#): > > But I wouldn’t say his lower half is entirely without charm, either. That bit on the front where the pelvis meets the hip - that valley that goes down into the groin? What’s that called, anyway? It must have a name. Anyway, that’s an awfully yummy bit on men, and on Dohring it’s especially luscious. I know what you mean. Does that have a name? It’s very nice. ---

The back of the neck, particularly if the man in question has the right kind of hair that just curls under right at the hair line … ::sigh:: Also well-shaped hands and forearms. And nice broad shoulders, but I think most gals like those. ---

[QUOTE=Skald the Rhymer] I’ll naame two to start off: strong, prominent clavicles, and the hollow of a woman’s knee. Yummy! Next? [/QUOTE] A bare shoulder and clavicle gets my motor running.

I really like a cute guy’s flanks, especially one who’s slender and unmuscular but who has a nice, smooth flank from the side of the chest to the hips. I also love hair, especially unnaturally coloured hair and emo hair. ---

[QUOTE=tremorviolet] Pretty much [this nose](http://handson.provocateuse.com/show/adrien_brody). [/QUOTE] gnur hur hur… I am kind of pleased to be in a semi-minority of people who find that man astonishingly attractive. I’m wondering if I have a thing for dark haired men with prominent noses. Considering that I find him above plus [this fellow](http://www.celebsquotes.com/a/alan-rickman/alan-rickman.jpg) (even if he is a bit old for me) and then there’s always [him](http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/coupling/wallpaper/images/steve_series3_1024.jpg) … Hm. Maybe it’s just a thing for very sardonic expressions. ---

God, now I’m looking at my neck and thinking “you know, I could really slim up a centimetre or two.” Thanks, thread. But for what it’s worth, I’m also looking at my broad shoulders, exposed hip bones and Iliac crest (I just call it “The V”) and feeling totally pumped. I suppose they’re already pretty sexualized, but the one thing that gets me going on a lady more than anything else are the adductor muscles. You know, the “inner thigh” mucles right around the coochie, on the leg. If I have to pick another, though, it’ll be arms. Good arms are surprising and always nice to see. ---

Once we’re at cumgutters, adductors, and ass cleft, I believe we’ve left the world of “not-typically-sexualized body parts” far behind. I’ll join the neck chorus. A nice neck is a beautiful thing. I’ll also mention that nice calves get my attention, if only for their relative rarity. So many men have skinny, shapeless calves. ---

> [@](#): > > Once we’re at cumgutters, adductors, and ass cleft, I believe we’ve left the world of “not-typically-sexualized body parts” far behind. _CUMGUTTERS???_ You smooth-talker, you. If you were a guy, I’d say “No wonder you have such a way with the ladies.” What in the name of the SDMB is a cumgutter? And is an Adductor something other than the usual definition? I need my ignorance fought. To me, it’s always been a _glutel fold_ or _gluteal cleft_. “Ass cleft” is halfway to the abysmal “ass crack”, which leaves me with a mental image of crumbling buttocks with fractal edges. ---
