A recent thread has women debating whether they ever find other women sexually arousing, whether in real life or erotica (what most call porno). While there's room for debate, it seems a lot do find some sexual pleasure in viewing other women.

OK, guys, how about you and men? Have you ever looked at an erotic movie, or photos, and admired an erect penis? Have you ever felt even a little sexual surge marveling at the erotic power of an erection...or even more so, an ejaculation? I'm not asking if you wanted to have sex with the guy, just if a male body has ever given you a little sexual pleasure.

My personal answer is yes. When I'm in the right mood, a penis can be a powerful sexual image, even for me as a male. Ultimately the goal is still to use that image on a female, but by itself it can help with arousal to a point. By the way, I consider myself hetero.

This ought to be a short thread.

What would the consequences be for admitting to an interest in male bodies on an anonymous message board, Westie?

I think a lot of it really has to do with our own minds. As men we are taught throughout life to be attracted to women. That is part of why it is so hard for a guy to come out of the closet. Fear of rejection, fear of admital, fear in general. I am afraid to admit things to myself, often enough. It is a natural reaction in men. Do we really want to admit, to ourselves, but in front of the world, even anonymously, that we are turned on by another man??? Nope. Not me. I do find watching another man with my SO very erotic, but his body has very little, if anything to do with it. So, I owuld have to say no, the male body does not arouse me or turn me on in anyway.

IF that's so, then why all the questioning about women, like myself, who insist that they are not turned on by other women? As if that can't be possible. And IF I was, I certainly would have no problem admitting to it here.

I can appreciate the beauty of other women but I'm not in the least sexually turned on by them. I've never even had an erotic dream about another woman, much less a real experience with one.

I think men DO admit to admiration of other men's bodies though, just a little less obviously when they choose a body building mags, rather than mags featuring naked men. And Men's Health magazine which always features great looking and half naked men . It's not as open or obvious, but the interest in there.

No, no consequences here on the boards - unless I become a presidental candidate and someone digging for dirt does some clever detective work on my old ISP records! :-)

I was just meaning that we men are conditioned or know that if it was admitted in real life that the consquences would likely be bad for us. It probably flows over to the boards - having a real life chat is taboo so talking on the boards is awkward.

As to the interest in men's bodies appearing in print and other media? I think that there has always been an appreciation of the naked human form. Just look at the statue of David and other classical art. It's been there for thousands of years. How much of it, if any of it, is sexual is open to debate.

You do have a point....although, I seriously doubt this board would be of much interest in that case!

So, why does it seem so difficult for men to believe that women can enjoy other women's beauty in a nonsexual way, as well then? Or is this where fantasy overtakes reality? LOL!
