Do you ever get turned on by your own body/presentation?

Heh, forgot the footnotes.

@eruonna so, when I say "other folx gender wasn't really a factor in who I found attractive¹", the ¹ stands for "it's more complicated than that", specifically:

- body hair is a huge turnoff for me, and (most) men tend to let that stuff grow wild
- "boy-smell²" is another big turnoff for me, and surprise, it's significantly more common on boys
- in general, men need to put in a similar amount of work³ as women for me to find them attractive

So it shakes out that I end up being hot for way more women and other femme-presenting folx than I do men or masc-presenting folx, just by merit of two of my biggest turn-offs happening to be *way* more common in men (gay men offset this math somewhat, but they tend to be gay, so ‍️).

² that musky gym sock smell. I know some folx love it—hell, they make like a hundred 12-in-1 body products to make men specifically smell *more* like that, so someone must think it smells good. Give me vanillas, strawberries, brass, lock lubricant, etc *any⁴* day.

³ most don't.

@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.

@alice@lgbtqia.space One of my favorite things to get off to when i'm having solo fun is a compilation of me cumming, sometimes on/in a partner but a lot are solo.

Thinking about how good it felt on one hand, and on the other wishing the dick on my screen was there in front of me IRL (but not attached to me) so I could suck it.

Because in my own biased opinion I think I have a pretty good looking dick and I'm sad I'll never get to give it a blowjob and feel it cum in my mouth

Oh, to have a portal gun... lol

@alice I'm not-cishet femme. I would say that "turned on" might be workable, but usually I'm not turned on by my body and "fascinated and jubilant" would be way more accurate day-to-day.

That said, my relationship with masturbation has improved immensely since transitioning. I think that finding myself attractive plays some role in that, but being more comfortable in my body and how it responds to sexual pleasure plays a much greater role.

I guess I vote "non-cishet femme; no"? But it's a grey area for me.

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 I like this post, it's still got me thinking. Like, I wouldn't say that I'm aroused by the idea of "myself," but I am aroused by fantasies which involve femme treatment of my body.

For example, I find arousal in fantasies where someone is caressing my breasts or performing vaginal penetration on me, but those are normal things for a femme allosexual person to be aroused by. Regardless of whether those features are home-grown, store-bought, or hypothetical. It doesn't mean I'm turned on by my body or the concept of having a vagina. It's really that in the fantasy I'm imagining using those parts for sex specifically.

This question feels more nuanced the more I think about it lol
