What are you turned on by that you're not *supposed* to be turned on by?

[Bucky]

And try to keep it clean, folks.

[datasuspect]

1. wasting electricity turns people . . . off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6re5fLsELE

[Radical Activist]

10. um

that commercial turns you on? hmm...

[Skittles]

2. that actor Chris Cooper

I find him simply delicious - yes INDEED

[Chan790]

3. Interesting question...

I don't tend to think in that way as I don't really "get" other people's sexual boundaries...provided it's within with an agreeable, willing partner capable of consent. I guess within certain lines of thought legality factors into it, mostly as an extension of what does "capable of consent" mean.

If you're turned-on by your partner wearing footsie pajamas and bunny ears...good for you. Want to smear cottage cheese on your bum? Bravo!

I'm book marking this, mostly b/c I want to know what other people have guilt about being turned-on by. It's a topic of interest to me.

[Bucky]

4. Yeah, I was thinking stuff more like "bald women" or apendectomy scars"

The first one is mine. The second one I just made up. If I even get to see the appendectomy scar, the turn on more or less takes care of itself.

[Chan790]

5. Eyeglasses?

I definitely have one for women in eyeglasses. Particularly "nerd" glasses.

[otherlander]

9. Eyes are windows to the soul

and glasses draw attention to the eyes. So if I already think someone looks good and they're wearing glasses I'll think they look even better.

[rurallib]

19. Women who don't shave

especially the pits, but also the legs.
Natural beauty shouldn't be messed with.

[MnFats]

61. agreed. that is a total buzz. I love hippie beaches...

...why I don't know...

[MikeH]

117. Good for you! I also like women who don't shave

I have always had a liking for body hair on women since I was an adolescent, particularly hairy legs.

I particularly find a woman with her natural body hair, i.e. hairy legs, arms, underarms, etc., who is not ashamed of her natural state and her natural hair, to be very sexy.

I have always had a wish that women in significant, non-trivial numbers would let their body hair grow out.

[deucemagnet]

6. I don't know if this is what you're looking for,

but I love it when women play with their hair. Especially when they're putting it up in a ponytail.
It probably doesn't even elevate me to the level of D-level pervert, but it's the best I got. :shrug:

[Wapsie B]

7. A large nose on a woman can be very attractive.

What some might see in themselves as as detriment others can see it as an asset.

[Bucky]

13. Oh, absolutely. Also a strong jawline. Minnie Driver's chin + Patti LuPone's nose

I'd marry it. If I was already married, I'd kill my wife and then marry the woman who combined those features.

Assuming she was a Democrat, that is.

[Wapsie B]

14. Doesn't one of the Kennedy women have a larger nose?

I'm thinking Caroline.

I'm with you there about the Minnie/Patti combination. Oh yes.

[Courtesy Flush]

115. Agreed

For some reason, the woman usually doesn't see the beauty of it. She gets a nose job, and then she's just another face in the crowd.

[otherlander]

8. Guys with long messy hair

:shrug:

[Cabcere]

11. Guys who are old enough to be my dad...

:blush: Well, I mean male celebrities, really, but still, when I stop and think about the fact that some of these men are more than twice my age...it's a little weird, I guess. :shrug:

[Radical Activist]

12. That's

pretty normal for a large number of women as far as I can tell.

[Wapsie B]

17. Yes you're right.

That's what I'm hoping for anyway. :evilgrin:

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

58. Does that mean there's hope for me after all?

   After all, I'm a '49 model... you mean I'm NOT too old to dream? :evilgrin:

[Colobo]

22. I'm a guy in my early 20's, and for some reason

I find women in their late 30s and 40s extremely sexy and attractive...

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. Me, too.

[BarenakedLady]

104. bow chicka bow bow...

:evilgrin:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

118. Time for you to live up to your name.

:evilgrin:

[BuelahWitch]

120. I'm a woman in my mid 40s

who finds 20 something men attractive. :hi: :hide:

[ghostsofgiants]

15. I'm a guy...I'm designed to be turned on by just about any naturally occurring phenomena.

[Radical Activist]

16. I don't know...

I guess by conventional standards I'm not "supposed" to get turned on by a woman leading crowd chants at a progressive rally, like anti-war or pro-environment...but I am. The same goes for cute women who get arrested for civil disobedience. That really does it for me.

[Bucky]

25. If it's the handcuffs, then you're really not that far out of the mainstream

If it's the bullhorn, however, you might have to seek therapy.

[Radical Activist]

27. lol

not so much the bullhorn itself as much as it being a sign of her personality, values and passion.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. Only older men?

Does that count?

Here's something weird that turns me OFF: I hate the naked body. Okay, "hate" is strong. But I saw photographed man-bits the other night in an anatomy book, and was turned OFF. I mean, what the hell? Did they hand-pick especially unattractive ones? Or do all pretty much look like that? Is that all? Man, that was an enormous let-down.

[hfojvt]

21. the male body is not aesthetically pleasing. It is functional.

Like a jeep.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

23. Clearly.

It was still disappointing. Can't you remember when you wondered about the opposite sex's parts? It sure is funny to think and wonder about that when you've never seen it up-close before.

[hfojvt]

80. I cannot remember that far back

although I have a class picture from 2nd grade which shows me apparently looking at a neighboring girl's knees. That Dawn Jones was a little hottie! Also remember being at a football game and wondering about the cheerleaders when they did cartwheels. This when I was in grade-school. Then there was National Geographic, but that was not pretty.

[Unvanguard]

33. Um, yes, it is.

What on earth are you talking about?

I guess such things might be a little subjective... :)

[hfojvt]

76. Maybe just my own body then

and it's not that functional either.

[rockymountaindem]

34. Seinfeld ripper-offer!

Consider yourself exposed!

[hfojvt]

75. I was not trying to hide it

Did not use quotes since I cannot be sure if I am paraphrasing or not.

[Maine-ah]

95. for some maybe.

I love looking at my husband's naked bod. He's very well put together, athletic build, and furry.:9 Hell, I wish I had his bum, it's just perfect :evilgrin:

[swag]

30. From a New York Times review of Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar"

With Esther Greenwood this hostility takes the form of obsessive attempts to get herself liberated from a virginity she finds oppressive, by a masculinity she finds hideous. When her medical-student boy friend suggests that they play a round of the traditional children's game--I'll show you mine if you show me yours--she looks at his naked maleness and reacts this way: "The only thing I could think of was a turkey neck and turkey gizzards and I felt very depressed." This is defamiliarization with a vengeance. The image catches up all cocky masculine pride of flesh and reduces it to the level of giblets. It sees the inexorable link between generation and death and makes us see it too, because the image is so fitting. All flesh comes from this--and comes to this.

[MnFats]

63. there are two basic designs for men. for women, it's limitless..

...and they're ALL fascinating....so many variations..

[Colobo]

20. Chubby women

I'm very skinny, but I have this thing about chubby women... :)

I also like nerdy women with glasses a lot. I'm sure there are other things...

[av8rdave]

24. Likewise.

[BarenakedLady]

26. Geeks?

Tall lanky somewhat scruffy slacker dudes who play video games. But I prefer them with tattooes and body piercings...

[Colobo]

29. Dang it! I got no tattooes... :(

[BarenakedLady]

97. Yet...

;)

[mark414]

36. i am definitely

going to have to call you in a few years

[BarenakedLady]

99. Hmmmm

Am I still too young for you? LoL.

Waiting for my hair to turn grey(er)?

I may be old enough to be your mother, but I don't look like it yet. :rofl:

[swag]

31. Giblets.

[crim son]

32. He already knows!

And I really, really *shouldn't*

[Starbucks Anarchist]

37. Yes, you should!

:evilgrin: :P

[crim son]

38. !

Well, I do. :evilgrin:

[BarenakedLady]

105. Who knows?

:shrug:

It's a mystery...;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. My dear Bucky........

It's not what...

It's who...

[noshenanigans]

39. Guys in flip-flops

I love skater guys, surfer guys, stoner guys.. anyone that would be called "Dude". Some may say that sets me up for dating lame flaky guys... I say I have really good weed hook-ups and a fantastic cd collection.

Tan boy feet in beachy sandals get me every time. And Pumas! Oh man.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

40. women with bad attitudes.....

I love em.....

[noshenanigans]

43. "bad attitiude"s, eh?

I'm all yours, then.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

44. Hot Dayum.....

[SeattleGirl]

45. You mean bad, or BAD????

:evilgrin:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

47. BAAAAD

[SeattleGirl]

50. Really???? Well, I'm BAAAAD!

:evilgrin:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

51. BRING IT.....

[SeattleGirl]

54. ........

:evilgrin:

[u4ic]

48. Even if they jump off buildings

with you attached to them? ;-)

[PaddyBlueEyes]

49. Yeah I guess thats a drawback

but then again, if I get to land on top????

[u4ic]

52. She'd be dead, then

Do you consider 'dead' to be a bad attitude? ;)

After all, she won't return your calls...she'd be rather...cold...to any advances.

Personal hygenie could become an issue.

Would you be concerned about that sudden and drastic weight loss? :shrug:



http://youtube.com/watch?v=3Q-2TAfM3Fg

[PaddyBlueEyes]

53. LOL

but then again, she wouldnt tell me no....either..(kidding, kidding, kidding)

[u4ic]

55. Did you watch the youtube clip?

Somehow related to what I mentioned earlier - it's hilarious.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

56. cant....firewall here.

[BarenakedLady]

96. Oh really now....

:evilgrin:

:spank: :spank: :spank:

[wildhorses]

41. vampires

[Ghost in the Machine]

91. vampires...

[mark414]

42. Women old enough to be my mother

here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

[WernhamHogg]

46. Geeky guys

In high school, I was hanging out with the computer club because that was where the sweet, smart and funny guys were. I never cared for the "jocks". Oh yeah... I also have a thing for men's legs and especially men's leg hair. :evilgrin:

[BlueIris]

57. John Kerry.

:-)

Oh, and peanut butter.

[SeattleGirl]

59. Um, what about John Kerry AND peanut butter?

:P

[BlueIris]

60. No, no, I am turned on by both John Kerry and peanut butter.

Not necessarily Kerry and peanut butter together.

[SeattleGirl]

62. It could be fun, you know.

(Yeah, I know, I'm bad!)

[PaddyBlueEyes]

64. somebody say

[SeattleGirl]

65. Actually, I prefer....

[Oeditpus Rex]

67. You oughta try

:9

[SeattleGirl]

68. Ooooooh, sounds........

....tasty. :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

70. Is

Especially with M&Ms. :9

[SeattleGirl]

72. I like peanut butter and honey.

:9

[Oeditpus Rex]

73. Me too

That's how my mommy used to make me penabutter sammiches. :9




Actually, she used Karo syrup. But, close enough.

[SeattleGirl]

74. Peanut butter and honey sammiches, still one of my fav snacks,.

:9

[Oeditpus Rex]

77. I like penabutter on toast

Or a bagel or an English muffin.

With cimmanon.

:9

[SeattleGirl]

79. Oh, penabutter on toast!

Another goody!

[Oeditpus Rex]

82. Reminds me

You ever see "PT-109"?

[SeattleGirl]

86. Yup.

Long time ago.

[Oeditpus Rex]

87. Remember they made Marney the cook

because he said he used to make peanut butter sammiches for his kid brother? Sometimes peanut butter and jelly?

Then when the boat was being inspected, Cmdr. Ritchie gets to the galley.

"You serve any hot food?"

*blink* "Yes, sir."

Ritchie departs, and Kennedy looks at Marney and says, "Hot food." :eyes:

"Peanut butter on toast." :shrug:

:D

[SeattleGirl]

89. Oh, gawd, I remember that!

Sounds like my early forays into the world of cooking! :blush:

[JI7]

71. yes, John Kerry

although i'm not sure it's something i'm "not supposed" to be turned on by.

[Robeson]

66. Martina Navratilova....

...I've always had a crush on her....

[Oeditpus Rex]

69. Women who are turned on by me

That should set off a Code Blue in my head, because they obviously have severe self-esteem issues.



Fortunately, though, they're extremely rare.

[Heidi]

78. Blah-blah-blah.

Show us yer wrists. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

81. You're not supposed to be turned on by that

:spank:

[SeattleGirl]

83. And why not?

You do have nice wrists!

[Oeditpus Rex]

84. I got skinny wrists

How does one gauge wrist niceness, anyway? :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

85. 'tis in the eye of the beholder, my friend.

This eye beholds your wrists as being very nice!

[Oeditpus Rex]

88. Well...

Thanks. :blush:



I'm still confused, but I guess I oughta just let it go, huh? :D

[SeattleGirl]

90. Yup. Just accept the compliment with grace.

I know, it's not easy, but why not? :loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

100. I've got issues then.

Your alarm bells must be deafening.



:loveya:

[taterguy]

92. Monogamy

I feel so straight, prudish and uptight :)

[BarenakedLady]

101. Errr

Uhm 'straight, prudish and uptight' does not bring to mind taterguy...

Cold nekkid butts do however...

:shrug:

[taterguy]

106. People can look but not touch

And it's not like snow is very conducive to fooling around, for a multitude of reasons :)

[BarenakedLady]

107. Oh dern.

:hi:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

93. Got to go with older women

I'm 26 and I'm attracted to women at least 15 to 30 yrars older than me. That has always been the case since I was very young

[BarenakedLady]

102. Darn

I don't quite make your minimum. ;)

[RFKHumphreyObama]

116. Oops...should have added "as a general rule"

Rest assured, I've seen your picture and read your posts and I find you VERY attractive BNL. How could I not? :yourock: :yourock:

[Wetzelbill]

94. wow, my list got long in a hurry

and not very clean. :)

Janeane Garofalo comes to mind. She would eat me a live, but yes, I've always dug her.

[bmbmd]

98. You may not believe this-

but after thirty years-my wife.

[BarenakedLady]

103. That's sweet

And I do believe it.

:thumbsup:

[tk2kewl]

109. .

[NewJeffCT]

108. Eyeglasses on a woman

Ever since I first really got into girls in middle school, the first girl I really liked wore glasses and I've been hooked ever since. Of course, it probably didn't hurt that she was a C cup in 7th/8th grade and often poured herself into skin tight jeans.

Several times, I've first seen women in glasses (most often in work situations) and I've thought them very attractive. But, when I've seen them without glasses later, I've thought, "eh, she's ok."

Unfortunately, I can't convince my wife of this (or, my ex-wife back in the day, either, for that matter)

[LSK]

110. glasses

Exhibit 1: Tina Fey

[driver8]

119. glasses!!

Exhibit 2: Lisa Loeb

[kwassa]

111. really smart women

Now, smart and sane is another issue.

[slj0101]

112. women with big feet.

Hey, you asked. :shrug:

[tk2kewl]

113. freckles

:D

[AllegroRondo]

114. small chested athletic women.

fortunately, I do get to meet a lot of them when I go running.

[SPKrazy]

121. Smart, Compassionate, Caring, Sensitive,

and unavailable/unattainable women who also happen to be beautiful.

it's my curse...


:cry:

[Omphaloskepsis]

122. I like nerdy girls with glasses...

I'm not sure why that should be frowned upon.. For some stupid reason it is.

Good at Math A++++++ Would date again

[MilesColtrane]

123. Mousy, smart, women in glasses!

It's a plus if she's an artist or writer who occasionally likes to be the aggressor.

Also pale skin...

My curse is living in the land of peroxide and tanning booths.
