It’s fully possible to recognize someones aesthetic qualities without being sexually attracted to them
Possible to recognize without being sexually attracted to them? Absolutely.
Using incredibly descriptive language to describe said aesthetic qualities? I mean…
It’s perfectly normal to say “The guy with the ass”, but to say “The guy with the incredibly hot ass that I would do anything to wrap my hands around and want my tongue deep inside it” might be a little questionable.
Dad wants you to know game recognize game.
Straight men should feel comfortable decoupling a) recognizing when another man’s hot as fuck from b) being turned on by it.
Yes, this is one of those odd double standards I don’t understand. I can comment on a hot woman, call her sexy and nobody bats an eye. I am not turned on by women who look hot but it’s like I know what I would like if I was? My husband will say things like “ideal build” for both men & women but would only comment on the sexiness of a lady not a guy.
The amount of times I’ve been met with “but you’re gay” when I’ve been “wow, she’s gorgeous!” or something similar is astonishing.
Like I can recognise when someone or something is aesthetically pleasing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I want to shag it.
How are museums legal? Like, why am I the only one who gets in trouble when I fuck the art?
Isn’t doing a sex on something the only way to express your appreciation for something?
*picks up an /s* “What’s this doing here?”
Love this. Was thinking about jokingly saying I don’t want to fuck a Monet, but decided against it. I’m glad someone else went with it and did a better job.
Ew. Monet? That slutty art just puts it all out there for anyone to get it. I prefer that punishing dom, Magritte. Yeah baby, tease me with your gestalt. Show me that pipe and then deny my inferences. “Oh yeah, nice fucking flower, Monet. What, am I supposed to just imagine there’s a face hidden behind those lilies, all by myself?”
Ceci n’est pas Magritte.

Van Gogh stans in shambles
Like I can recognise when someone or something is aesthetically pleasing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I want to shag it.
Did I just become bi?
If you want to shag both men and women, yes.
I have a theory that almost all sexual life is pan and monosexuality is more a matter of culture than anything else. I am pan so my self-centered anecdotal theories are very questionable at best. Still, I see things like this regularly and gladly self-validate.
Being able to compliment another man on his looks and not think of it as somehow a bad thing is a sign of being confident in your own sexuality to not be scared that you might “turn” yourself.
Real men can give and take any compliment and not think it makes them less of who they are.
This includes “Nice cock bro”
Cock has a real nice mouthfeel bruh
I used to have a gay friend who said his favorite part about giving head was feeling it grow inside his mouth.
And, like, yeah, I could see it.
Same experience with trans girls’ glocks 🤤
Oh yeah, it’s all about the feedback loop.
Hot is hot. Gender, race, etc. isn’t a factor.
As a straight guy I can totally tell when another guy is hot and would have no problem telling him he’s attractive. But if I’m turned on by it I’m thinking that would negate me being straight. Pretty sure that at least crosses into the bi category.
In my book, a guy being turned on by women and not guys is the definition of straight.
that’s what the comment you’re responding to is saying.
Not the b) part. That is what I’m contradicting specifically.
i don’t think you properly read the entire thing.
Oh you’re absolutely right. I missed the “from”. My bad.
to be fair it’s a misleading way to say it.
I’m straight, married etc., and I can barely say a guy is hot or has a great body without sexualising it. Hell, my wife and I sometimes both turn around when we walk past someone hot on the street (does not matter the sex), and can both agree that damn, that person was sexy as fuck! Again, not sexualising. It’s not that hard…
It’s not that hard
Sounds like something is hard
Touche!
Serious question: How can you tell?
I recognize a certain type of Hollywood hot, like Chris Hemsworth is full of muscles and to me seems likely to be seen as attractive. Same with Henry Cavill, etc. But I know that stereotype from being exposed to it, nothing innate like when I see a beautiful woman and immediately feel how attractive she is.
And besides that one stereotype, I can’t tell a hot guy from average. For example, when Ryan Reynolds was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2010 it caught me completely by surprise, I had no idea. Similarly when people talk about George Clooney as a paragon of male attraction, I wouldn’t have guessed that before hearing about it. (I don’t at all doubt that it’s true, I simply don’t experience it myself.)
I’m pretty queer, and even I don’t get the George Clooney thing.
It’s subjective and context based, on a person to person basis and in the aggregate societal norms.
It’s the same as if you were talking about whatever broader group you were personally into. Just with the erotic attraction part removed.
If you, personally, have no criteria for judging you can try and work with what you understand the conversation partners tastes to be.
If you are talking to someone you think appreciates Hollywood hot then you can way “they are hot” with the understanding that you are commenting from a shared context of hot.If you were to say “I think they are hot” that’s a different context and implies you, personally, think they are hot.To be clear, neither of those explicitly states an erotic attraction, though it can be taken that way, depending on the context.Communication is hard.
I’m a straight man. I do recognize from time to time that some men look good.
Well yeah, you look in that mirror everyday.
Yes, Dad wants to tell you that the weatherman married his bf, which was news to Dad
