Clothing

I don't get this and to be honest I think I never will simply because it isn't for me. Clothes never did it for me. For me there is no real difference(sexually) between normal clothing and some sort of sexy lingerie. Likewise whenever I have a fetish or an interest for a certain body part or activity, that interest does NOT travel into the clothing at all.

For example I do have a foot fetish, but I don't like heels or any kind of shoes, nor am I interested in them at all. A woman who tried showing off high heels or something like that wouldn't do anything for me. It's not that these are turn offs so much as they just aren't turn ons either.

Can anyone else relate or am I just a freak of nature?

Someone once told me... we like what like.. awesome statement!

Instead of trying to figure out if you're a freak of nature bc you're not into lingerie.. embrace it! And encourage the one you are with by praising her body...

Just my 2 cents

@ theoddlaser: Maybe everyone on this board is a "freak." People who don't indulge in whatever's on the board would call us 'freaks.' So if you're into one thing, but not another, you're no different from the other freaks on the board. We're all different from each other. This board has many sections and I venture few people are into them all. Personally I'm into lingerie and cross-dressing, catheters, S & M/femdom, & Med Fet. I don't do anal, diapers, injections, or feet. I expect that many diaper and anal persons don't go for lingerie and catheters. To each his/her own, and in Vive le diference.

The only thing clothing does for me is to add some mystery to an encounter. Face it, I'm in my 50s. I know, in general, what the human body looks like. I've seen nekked people of most genders. The thrill is in the discovery of the individual traits of a new lover.

I don't care if it's jeans and a tee shirt or a sexy negligee. It's what's underneath and within that counts.

As a straight male I do find the female body attractive, and it can be sexy. Clothing can enhance this, and can be used non-verbally in an analogous way to flirting.

BUT

... It's what's underneath and within that counts.

Certainly true for anything except the briefest of superficial encounters.

I am pretty much in agreement with you plumb. Over the years whether it be with with girlfriends or wife, clothing hasn't been a huge turn on for me too. Now I will say that I am definitely an ass and leg guy so anytime a woman is wearing tight jeans or tight spandex workout outfit in the gym, then I always look.

But I would say I am looking at their asses but not so much what they are wearing. What they are wearing essentially allows you to see them naked which is a turn on.

When it comes to clothing, it's basically a "to each his/her own" kind of thing. And we're all so diverse in that regard.

What i think clothing can do is accentuate a person's body or perhaps their overall appearance, The right bra will add enhanced support to a woman's breast, sometimes creating the illusion they are not as saggy as they really are without the support. Also, some colors compliment some people better than others. Lots of things contribute to one's appearance than just the raw nudity.

At the end of the day what counts is the nudity. That's what you want to be intimately embraced in, that's what's gonna make you hard or not, that's what you're going to spend time with, ideally in a happy, exciting &/or peaceful time.

Unless you want her to keep her clothes on during sex....

Clothing doesn't turn me on. What turns me on is what's under the clothes. However, since we don't go around naked, my imagination has to take over. I can be attracted to a woman by the way her clothes fit. A blouse with the line of the bra apparent, tight fitting top with nipples showing as bumps, snug fitting skirt, short skirts, tight jeans that emphasize the derrière, tiny bathing suits that barely cover her breasts and genitals. My mind tends to picture what she would look like naked. My imagination is what turns me on. ???
