I strongly doubt they’re naked, tho.
Wait, Skald, let me see if I understand what you’re saying. I can understand a preference for “hot lady wearing nothing but panties” over “crotch close-up”, but are you additionally saying that, given the choice between “full-body shot of hot lady wearing nothing but panties” and “full-body shot of hot lady wearing nothing at all”, you’d prefer the former?
Don’t you see? Thats when they did the clone swap!
If I see my man naked and things are about to get going between us, that is a turn on. Then again just knowing things are going to get busy is a turn on.
I admire the way he looks naked but seeing him naked in a non romantic setting isn’t going to have an effect. Well ok I’ll smile because that sexy body belongs to me.
Anyway, seeing a random man naked isn’t going to get me hot. Looking at pictures or videos isn’t going to make me hot. I can appreciate a good looking man but it doesn’t mean I want to take him home. I’m not going to get excited looking at pictures, not even pictures of my SO, any more than a picture of a lobster tail or a chocolate brownie is going to make me drool.
Seeing a random horny man isn’t a turn on, seeing a man get that way in response to me is a huge turn on. I’ve always thought that mutual attraction builds on itself. The hotter I make you, the hotter you’ll make me because part of getting turned on is knowing the other person wants you.
I can’t do that with some anonymous body, it isn’t going to make me feel sexy.
As far as totally naked or partially covered, sometimes a little mystery is a good thing. Sometimes not.

It would depend on how the shot was composed. The standard porn shot of a naked lying on her side with one leg raised does little to nothing for me. Eroticism in photography, to me, is about suggestion, implication, hints–what isn’t shown.
I love hot naked guys. I love hot half naked guys. Yes, the sight of a hard cock is stimulating - with the rest of the pic.
What I don’t like particularly is extremely close up shots of John Thomas. Great, so you have a penis. Everyone, applaud.
It’s not that I don’t find nakedness attractive in a guy I am dating; it’s just that if I don’t know the guy, I’m more likely to be attracted to him clothed than naked. I would not at all want to just flip through a magazine of naked strangers, and I’ve never understood the attraction men have to it.
You don’t even know those ladies!!?!
– golf clap –
I know I’m a little late to this thread; is there any coffeecake left?
I was hoping for cheesecake, or beefcakes. Tarts would be fine too. And a tall drink of water.

I think my primary reaction to naked men - IRL or in pictures - would be discomfort, unless sex with the naked man in question was in the offing. I’m so uncomfortable with being naked in a public way that I’d be vicariously embarrassed for the guy in the picture or whatever.
However, I do enjoy looking at pictures of attractive men in various states of undress, and I would like to thank PandaBear up there for inspiring me to google Joe Manganiello.
I assume that a poll for the guys would be pointless? Still tempted-what the hell…hope Skald can forgive my lifting his options pretty much word for word…
I don’t mind. I only asked the questions of the womenfolk because that was what the RL discussion was about.
I have to admit, in a contrary vein to many of the respondants, I find penis pictures to be VERY arousing. Sometimes I’ll go to xhamster or whatever and look up images of men masturbating. I love watching my husband masturbate, and sometimes I’ll ask him to uncover his crotch while I masturbate, because I like seeing it just sitting there. Ah…
I am a straight female, FTR.
I have never, ever been interested in looking at naked bodies, regardless of their gender. Honestly though, I think I’ve reached the point where I comfortably call myself asexual. Or nonsexual. But even when I was interested I never liked porn or found myself thinking, “ooh that penis is super hot!”
While I’ve only dated men (and am extremely interested in seeing those I have in various states of undress), I find sexual/nude women much more worthwhile/pleasurable to consume as sex objects. Random penis is not something I want to see ever. I do identify as some sort of bisexual. Didn’t vote though.
Attractive females, nude? Why, yes, please, absolutely, thank you.
However: full body, please. A zoom shot of genitalia gets boring after 10 seconds.
I’m straight and demisexual. Naked strangers don’t interest me. I don’t mean that in a way judgemental to those who aren’t demisexual, btw. I’d much rather have a normal sex drive.
