[NSFW] Women, does a penis turn you on? Or only your guy's penis? Or none at all?

My man is the only man that turns me on and that goes for his private organ as well.

When I see a guy’s penis, I can’t say that it just instantly turns me on. I suppose what they do with it does, but not just a plain ole’ picture of a pee pee.

A man doing the dishes makes me horny though.

Random junk of any sort doesn’t turn me on so much as gross me out. Maybe a vestigial effect of those disgusting STD slideshows they showed in Health class back in the day.

@Vunessuh… I’m planning my next avatar photo shoot tonight. I have a sinkful of dishes…

Uhm. No. A random penis is just a genital. The person it’s attached to turns me on.

As a male, I cannot understand why any living creature could find the penis attractive. At all.

Period.

Yuck.

A penis is not a turn on, unless I plan in using said penis.

This is a topic friends of mine and I were discussing recently too! I’m a female and though I really enjoy the look of a penis, I don’t get turned on by seeing random images of them. In fact, I think I had a discussion with my SO about that, not sure if it’s a general female thing or not. I get very turned on if I see an image of my partner’s equipment but not of a disembodied one belonging to some random man like in porn or a sex text from someone I’m not involved with. I can get aroused by watching a sex act but it’s not the bodies of the actors that does much for me, not yet anyway- if I could choose my preferred actors and actresses then that would be very HOT.

It depends on how I feel about who it is attached to. I guess I see a man as a whole person and not just an assemblage of parts. I don’t want to become that intimate with someone I do not know and trust.

Long ago, I was not at all comfortable with penises. I don’t remember why, exactly – I linked my discomfort to disliking my father and having some experiences in childhood with being molested by men. I was not comfortable going down on my ex husband because I wasn’t into it. Once I was with my current husband, that all changed. I am great friends with his penis, am highly turned on by it, etc. Pictures of other penises do sometimes excite me, sure.

Is it alright if I answer?

I find penises to be a turn-on, but my boyfriend’s turns me on the most. And a random image of one alone might not do much for me; it would be better to see more of the person in the picture. (It certainly wouldn’t gross me out unless it wasn’t an attractive one to begin with). But yes, I find them attractive; they can be quite beautiful. :)

I was actually wondering if it’s different for me because I am a guy and I do possess this organ myself. :)

Only erect penises. I prefer thick and long ones with a big shiny head. It just begs to be licked. hmmmmm. yeah….

“with a big shiny head.”

LOL!!!! TY

Rudolf the jumbo penis. Had a very shiny head.

@DominicX I think it might be different for you b/c men are known to be more visually turned on. I wouldn’t think it would change just b/c you like Woody over Snatch.

Would you want to see Janet Reno’s up close personals? Does it not matter at all who it is attached to?

@ragingloli
Too funny but true!

If I’m not in the mood, random junk doesn’t put me in the mood. If I’m already in the mood, it can make things a little warmer ahem but really, it’s less about seeing a penis than knowing the owner of said organ wants to do things to me with it. This narrows things down considerably. (Once you’ve seen one random penis, you’ve seen 90% of them anyway.)

I think guys, with their hair-trigger sexuality, are much more visually fixated in general. (Yes, there are exceptions, but who buys the most porn? Why are there more men on adult dating sites? etc.)

To me, a random penis picture when I’m horny is about as much fun as pictures of food when I’m hungry. If they’re on the menu I’m ordering from, they might be useful – but if I can’t interact with them, their utility is limited.

I don’t like this new term-guys junk..very bad…not nice. My penis is not junk.

@SeventhSense – chicks have dealt with not-nice terms for our parts for a very long time. Gash, anyone? C—-?

I think penises are butt-ugly. But there are parts of me without eyes in them that think they’re gorgeous.

@SeventhSense That all depends on your perception of penii, doesn’t it?

I believe that a person’s preference for what turns them on is established during their early formative years.

That being said, I was raised in an all female household (Mom, Grandmom, Aunts, etc) and due to their crazy over-protectiveness, was never even knew what a penis or testicles were, until I saw a drawing of them in my sixth grade sex-ed class.

(Now this is going to sound nuts LOL) I thought everyone had genitals like mine until I was about 11. Wow, answering this question is teaching me a lot about myself

Now, the thing is, I always found myself attracted to males, even at a very young age when I was naive about it all. When I met my husband (then boyfriend at 18), that was my first real exposure to a penis. I was (am) passionately, madly, insanely in love with him. That is why his is the only one that has ever excited me.

Any other’s is obsolete. For me, there has to be the passionate, mad love for the man first, in order for me to have excitation from his genitals. Honestly, looking at pictures of penises wouldn’t do anything except remind me of my husband’s.. which wouldn’t be exciting unless he was present.

Before the age of 11, the only genitalia that was exciting was my own, (my family, even though they gave me no knowledge about the genitals of the opposite sex, believed in giving me total freedom and privacy with myself) so now, if I look at pictures of fe…...

(I’m shutting up now…)

This is a really fascinating question for me.

I think penises are VERY ODD. Often times when my boyfriend is naked I will become completely fascinated by his penis and just want to stare at it. It really is intriguing to me how it goes from so little and floppy to substantially larger and solid. I’m being serious when I say it fascinates me, and I hope I don’t sound like a freak, but there is nothing else like a penis. That being said, that penis alone obviously wouldn’t turn me on if it wasn’t attached to someone that turned me on and that I was in love with. It would just weird me out and make me uncomfortable.

@laureth
Two wrongs don’t make a right. :P
My penis is lovely.

I’d have to say all round for me no. Particulary a “picture” of a penis. It’s a strange thing but a penis is a penis, its a long sausage thing with a head. It’s a bit like if I stare at my vibrator it’s a lump of plastic. But it is what the plastic or penis can do if I am in the mood. If I like the person in the flesh, then yeah I love the penis. Or the man its attached to. Or lust it whatever, but its because its attached to him. For me its all about the “mind” first then the penis becomes exciting. Some penises are more attractive (to me anyhow). I like cut and I don’t really like massive hanging balls. I know too much information. I’ve had guys text mms’s of their penises and its like ew! Or mail a photo of one, Ik! It might just be that men go on visual and women on others in general anyhow.

Penis’ in general turn me on because whenever I see one I automatically think of my boyfriend.

@Just_Justine Isn’t it strange how men love to send pics of their Penises? My friends and I were talking about that the other day. This one guy sends a pic of his morning wood everyday to my best friend. I was dating a guy once and he asked me if I wanted a pic, I said no, a few minutes later Bam right there on my phone a pic of Penis. Why do they think we want those? Very very strange. I have never been sitting around and thought Hey I should take a pic of my VaJayJay and send it to my guy.

@Shae A picture of a penis popping up on my cell phone is the last thing I want in the world pretty much. I’ve known a few guys who had it in their minds that I wanted to see their dicks even though I said no, and they sent it anyways!....what?! what is wrong with your brain! its ugly! and i dont like you!! why would i like your penis!

Why is this question only for the “women” of fluther?

@Shae I know, I even got one sent that was bent. Crikey. What the f..k. We had just had a beautiful conversation on the phone, he’s intelligent too, then bang, a bent penis comes flying at me. I just never really saw him the same way again. I found out later he had been sending his bent penis all over the place too loll.

I want to say that I’ve never sent pictures of my penis to people. Actually, I’m pretty sure I’ve never taken pictures of it. I’ve never heard any of my friends talk about penis pictures either.
But yes @Shae, you should send pictures of your vajayjay to guys. That’ll teach them a lesson.

@Sarcasm You got a real lol for that one.

Hmm if I were female and had a phone with picture powers, I would not send pictures of my privates to men, especially not to get them to go away. I think that would tend to send the opposite message, especially to the freakier men. I might reply to them with pictures that other men had sent me of their penises, to get them to go away.

STOP, I AM TURNING A BRIGHTER SHADE OF RED! NO MORE DICKENSIAN TALK, PLEASE!

I thought it was Shakespearean, more or less.

In fact, wasn’t that what Shylock had in mind at one point: “If you prick us, do we not bleed?”

@CyanoticWasp Yes but most men don’t have the pound to pay up.

Yep

I’m with @Vunessuh on this one. It’s not the penis that turns me on, it’s what the guy can do with it, or what I think he could do with it. So because of that, I’d say that random penises do nothing for me, but the penis belonging to the guy I’m interested might.

No way, Jose. No no no.

I don’t know, I think they’re pretty funny looking things. My husbands can bring am array of feelings, such as excitement or “dear god get away from me I’m not in the mood” lol. I like to look…seriously, does anyone watch Starz’s Spartacus? the last episode was full of peen! definitely enjoyable haha.

By contrast, I find vaginas to be pretty hideous constructs. I can not even imagine licking it without feeling some kind of disgust.

@Shae – re: “Why do they think we want those?”

Because the sort of guy that thinks we want penis pictures probably wants pictures of our parts, and figures you’re similar like that.

so, if, if, a man had a John Holmes look a like “penile,” you girls would not get a “little excited”

can you count to FOURTEEN!

That would probably hurt. On a random guy, that would probably be a little scary.

I just listened to an old Howard Stern bit with Sebastian Bach. of Skid Row back when he was 24 in the early 90’s.
He TIED HIS PENIS IN A KNOT with witnesses.

@SeventhSense I don’t want to brag too much but I could tie mine in a knot around witnesses.

When I was younger.

If I tied the knot real fast.

Well as long as we’re letting it all hang out. I still remember how the neighborhood girls would pester me incessantly until I finally let them play jump rope with Mr Happy. Which inevitably turned into a limbo tournament. Hey I’m only human

A mortician was working late one night. It was his job to examine the dead bodies before they were sent off to be buried or cremated. As he examined the body of Bernie Schwartz, who was about to be cremated, he made an amazing discovery: Bernie Schwartz had the longest penis he had ever seen!

“I’m sorry Mr. Schwartz,” said the mortician, “But I can’t send you off to be cremated with a tremendously huge penis like this. It has to be saved for posterity.”

And with that the coroner used his tools to remove the dead man’s schlong. The coroner stuffed his prize into a briefcase and took it home. The first person he showed was his wife.

“I have something to show you that you won’t believe,” he said, and opened his briefcase.

“Oh my god!” she screamed, “Bernie Schwartz is dead!”

I find it interesting to hear how differently women are wired from men in this regard. GQ.

Turned on? No. Fascinated by them? Yes. I think the penis has a lot going for it: Outdoor plumbing with point and shoot flexibility. Immediate, easily identified arousal (sort of like the pop-up turkey timer, let’s the chef know when it’s time to eat). Various accessories—rings, piercings, and “raincoats” (aka colorful and textured condoms). Statues have been erected eh hm in their honor. They can be inserted into just about anything, including apple pie (how sweet is that?!). Adult sex stores seem to make the most money off of them (dildo, packy, porn, etc.—owning a piece of said organ could be rather lucrative). Possession of the penis brings countless entitlements (it appears, albeit not entirely true, that penis = power).

As the owner of a vagina, I think the penis is very fascinating. But, attractive? No. Sexually stimulating? Meh. In of itself, unless attached to the right person, doing the right thing, I prefer the penis kept where it belongs—out of sight.

@prolificus damn, now I want to patent mine. But the Chinese can mass produce them for less. Sigh

There’s something to be said for American craftsmanship, though.

The nice thing about having a penis is every morning the circus is in town.

@CyanoticWasp – Unless you’re built like Kris Lord [NSFW], I don’t think the gov would allow such a patent.

If you grew up in a society where from your first moment of consciousness you were told that you were NOT stimulated by male genitalia and that nice girls don’t. If you went to catholic school or existed anywhere except in a vacuum, how would you possibly know??

Personally I think all human bodies are funny looking. Do you remember the line about having to explain the human reproductive process to an alien, it is really a strange activity.

But nonetheless, despite catholic school and all the subliminal and unsubliminal messages society has sent to me, YES, my body responds to penile photos. My mind may not be totally engaged, but my temperature rises noticeably and I like to look.

<—-leaving thread and looking for the vagina discussion.

my man’s penis is what turns me on. I mean, when I see other men get erections, it doesn’t make me horny. It makes me laugh.

Well, this has all been very elucidating. Thank you so much for your candor. It certainly helps me understand (and, more importantly, believe) some comments I’ve heard. I’m really glad it’s the guy and not the apparatus all on its own.

@prolificus Now those pictures… Mmmmm.

@augustlan & @prolificus – mmmmmmmmm indeed.

I’m feeling a little flushed.

I can’t imagine any living breathing female could look at that entire package and not feel some heat.

I am most assuredly straight but I NEVER enjoy porn with men .. penises are not attractive.

This reminds me that a female more-than-friend of mine once complimented me such a small thing to compliment a man for (no, save the gibes, it wasn’t that) that I was one of the first men she had begun a romantic relationship with who had not sent a picture of his penis.

She went on to tell me that one of her female housemates had a one-night thing with a guy months and months ago… and every day since then, first thing every day, he texted her with a photo of the days’ Morning Wood. It got so tiresome, and all three women living together joked about it, that it became a standing joke, “What’s the package look like today, hon?”

She asked me for advice, “What should I do when these guys I hardly even know send me photos of their package? I don’t even know them and they send me this. What would you do?” So I asked her, “This happens fairly regularly?” “All the time!”

So I told her, “Save a few. Next time a guy sends you a photo of his pride and joy… send him two others in return.” That’s when I got a real compliment.

@CyanoticWasp – That’s beautiful. Back when I was doing the Singles’ website dating thing, it was more common to see a picture of a guy’s piece than a picture of his face. I always wondered how I was supposed to pick him out at the restaurant if we ever did decide to go out. “Hey everybody! Guys, I need you to all pull out your stuff, I’m looking for the guy with…”

What’s up with men who want to show off their dicks?

@tigress3681 sadly, for some that is their absolute best feature.

I suspect men would appreciate it if every woman they met on a singles’ site sent a picture of their breasts. And because surely women must feel the same way about this as men do (because how could you not), they do us women the favor of sending the dick-pic. Problem is, they’re thinking women are just like men this way, and for the most part, we’re not. We’re just not as fixated on comparison-shopping schlongs as they are in comparison-shopping breasts.

@laureth I don’t think it’s comparison shopping so much as a symbol of interest. Of course, men are interested much more quickly, but still, a woman might be interested in making a guy happy. It’s part of the flirtation. And as you know, some guys are pretty ham-fisted at flirtation.
