DO NAKED LADIES TURN MEN ON?
From Sullivan's Short Stories
By Donald Sullivan
This is not a scientific study. It's merely an account of discussions I heard among soldiers in barracks, at work, at parties, and in taverns. Soldiers discuss women more than anything else, and that's what this is about.
On the old Benny Hill Show, there was once a skit where two guys are lying in front of a beach change house. A woman, fully dressed, is lying in a deck chair in front of the beach house, and the two men are looking "up her skirt." Presently the woman gets up, goes in the change house, comes out in a very skimpy bikini, and gets back into the deck chair. The men frown, snap their fingers in disappointment, and move on.
Benny Hill had it right. Many (maybe most) men would rather get a peek at something they're not supposed to see than to get a full view of same when it's on public display. (This is not to say that men don't appreciate a pretty girl in a bikini--they do indeed.)
It's a myth that all men like to ogle naked females. There are a number of men that aren't turned on by the form of a naked female. They'd much rather see a gal in tight jeans, a revealing gown, short shorts, or a mini skirt. In a strip show, most guys are excited more by the act of stripping than the finish--when the gal is stripped.
But all men will show a "wow!" reaction, to a naked female. Why? Simply because it's expected of them. The myth says that all men like naked females, so if a man doesn't show the right reaction, he's afraid he'll be labeled as gay.
Same goes for big boobs. Many men are not turned on by big boobs. But here again, they will show a "wow!" reaction because it's expected of them. perhaps the majority of men like big boobs, but far from an overwhelming majority. Many men like small, firm boobs. And there are also those who are simply not "boob men." You have "butt men" and "leg men" as well.
And some men favor no particular feature. They just like all the features well-proportioned.
A group of men who work together and live together, as soldiers in a barracks, are more honest with each other about their feelings. Particularly when they're drinking. They are more apt to admit their true likes and dislikes about women.
It seems that women are more concerned about boobs than men are. Women are concerned about their boob size perhaps because of the "wow!" reaction of men, many of whom are "wowing" because it's expected of them. Also, boobs get a lot of hype in movies and on TV.
Other things that turn men on: VPL (visible panty line), slit skirts, see throughs, or undies of just about any description.
On one of the sitcoms, there was a skit where a guy was introduced to a sexy girl wearing very revealing clothes. After the girl leaves, someone remarks that the girl had beautiful eyes, and the guy said something like "Oh, did she have eyes?"
The implication, of course, was that men will be more interested in a woman's figure than in her face. That's another myth.
Actually, the one part of a woman that is most attractive to most men is...the face. Believe it or not. Time and again guys say things like "from the neck down she was a knockout, but her face was just so-so."
What's the first thing about a gal that attracts a guy? I think I'll get very little argument that it's the gal's looks. There are exceptions, but to most guys looks are most important--at first. But later, other things will begin to take on more importance, such as personality, temperament, and sex appeal. After a guy gets to know two gals, he may well choose the shy one over the outgoing one who is prettier. Or the outgoing gal over the pretty but shy gal.
Compatibility also will come into play later. Does she like sports? What kind of music? Animals? And so on.
Of course, men come in all types, and there are types to whom nothing else matters or ever will matter but looks and boobs and willingness to hop in bed. If I were a gal, I'd go out of my way to avoid this guy.
Many women like to say that all men are alike. Far from true.
All men are different. In fact, I don't think that there are any two men exactly alike. It has been said that nothing is true of all men. Believe it.
Finally, I'd like to reiterate: This is not a scientific study. It's merely an account of discussions I've heard among soldiers in barracks, at work, at parties, and in taverns. Soldiers discuss women more than anything else, and that's what this was about.
And so, as to the question in the title of this article, the answer would be "some are turned on by naked ladies, others are turned on by sexy attire."

Note: This article was published in SCRIBD. It got nearly one and a half million views. Over 350 of those viewers commented. I didn't count the agreed/disagreed, but they seemed to be about evenly split. That would agree with the conclusion of the men in the barracks. At least half the men are turned on by the way women dress.
