Do you ever get turned on by your own body/presentation?
-
I voted "I'm nonbinary; yes". Up until a couple years ago I would've answered no.
I've always been bi/pansexual, so other folx gender wasn't really a factor in who I found attractive¹, but I'd been convinced that most people only liked me for my body, so I had a complicated relationship with it—a combination of living at the gym to make my body more attractive to people² and then hiding it under a big hoodie.
But since I've been in healthy relationships and started unlearning toxic things regarding my self-image and presentation, I've started finding my own body attractive for the first time.
@alice yeah. Leaving a toxic relationship does that a person. 🥰
-
@alice I really get that amount of work thing, especially looking at man / woman couples¹ where you can see them side by side, and it is clear that she is putting in work and he really isn't.

Now I'm curious how different the answers would be if I'd phrased the question as "If you could be someone else for a day, and had the opportunity to, would you fuck yourself?"
@alice is there a negative scale?

Pick the answer that best represents your current gender expression and orientation.
@alice uuh i don't think cis is short for cishet. cishet just means cis+hetero soo wouldn't it be less likely for cis people to be attracted to thenselves if they are hetero?
-
@alice What this poll really taught me is that there are very few cishet women on Mastodon.
@a_phlaming_phoenix ... who have seen this poll and chose to participate.
Self selection is a real problem in polls.
(You probably knew this ... it's a marker for me to come back to)

@alice@lgbtqia.space It's research, I gotta do a test run.

@alice There was a similar question on a purity test when I was a teenager, and everyone was really freaked out by me saying yes

@alice yes.
When I dress as I like I want to be as sexy as possible to the eyes of the others, with my personal taste. And the persons I like to fuck most are the ones that dress like me.
So if I'd be someone else, I would like to be and fuck... me.

@alice
My demi-ness says a day is too short to become interested in anyone. I need weeks at best. -
@DodoTheDev
Yaaaaaaassss, love hearing this! Learning to like (much less love) your body is hard AF and I'm stoked that you've found someone who made you believe it!@gairdeachas
Thank you. Its a work in progress, but I'm getting there. Although it shouldn't, external validation helps. But I'm also working on my internal self view and its finally starting to take

@alice@lgbtqia.space can't answer the poll because thans people don't get man/woman options here. (masc or femme does not cut it, sorry) anyway, sometimes if i don't get dysphoric.

@alice may I also add that I'm OLD and my days of being "sexy" are well and truly behind me 🤪
-
@alice that's not a rephrasing though. That's a different question.

@alice Questions like these – e.g. "Do you like yourself?" – always really baffle me because the premise is so alien to the way I experience myself and the world, i.e. I don't experience myself as external to myself: I neither like nor dislike myself, I *am* myself. Being attracted to myself, being turned on by my own body/presentation, liking myself – these modes of experience *categorically* don't make sense to me.
