I'm a straight female but I'd say naked women and two girls. Looking at naked men has always seemed kind of silly too me, though certainly there are books I've read/movies/series I've seen that have had nude or semi nude guys in it that turn me on, but it's all in context of story for me. I can still look at woman's bodies and think of them as beautiful and sexy, or in some cases, wonder how in the world that can do that thing physically.

Something I can finally comment on. . For me as a man - magazine - chicks, video - guy-girl...mmmm no wait girl-girl.... ah crap I want both!

As to women maybe they might like some good short romance stories....

Ditto to Stacy's comment.

I would rather read the book I brought with me.

Double ditto to Stacy's (before I found a new dentist).

Are we talking the male equivalent of the angel woman you posted above? Or pale, hairy-backed fatties?

One more "ditto what Stacy said."

1. Women...I live in a college town. I see ripped young guys running around without shirts on when I drive by the park on the way home from work every day. Penises are nice and all, but I don't want to stare at them (much.)
2. It depends. Probably two girls. It's more interesting.

Why is there porn at the dentist's office? (There is a bar downstairs from my husband's dentist...)

~~ If you can either pass the time in the dentist's waiting room looking at a magazine of naked women or naked men, which would you choose? ~~

Just photos ... then women. They are more balanced & just pleasing to the eye. I heard naked men described once as "unadorned christmas trees" & it's stuck with me.

~~ And, if you were waiting for hours to get your teeth cleaned, and could only watch porn to pass the time, would you rather see two girls having sex or a guy and a girl? ~~

Wouldn't matter, I like both. The important part is the enthusiasm! I like to see women get head, but only done well!

Not that half-assed, barely touching with the tongue, fake head. All tongue waggling & dumb. Usually they (porn people) are trying to keep their head out of the way for the camera, but I wish they wouldn't. Clamp on there & go to town, we've seen a P before, I'm waiting to see a strong reaction, I could care less about "seeing" the tongue actually touch the P. That's a given, if she's thrashing about & arching off the cushion.

I'd like porn to show the full view of the couple. Less of those lame close ups. In out in out in out snore.

=)

For pictures, I would choose the girls, because naked women are just more attractive than naked men. For the sex, though, I would choose the hetero couple. If it were a choice between two women or two men, then I would for sure rather see the women, but otherwise gay porn of any kind does not interest me at all.

I know you didn't ask me, but I've seen plenty of regular porn, I think I would like my dentist porn more as comedy with the actors having to deal with novocaine in many of the wrong places.

Who is your dentist? Can I get a recommendation?

A guy running with no shirt is sexy, but for some reason, pics of naked guys don't do it for me in the same way a naked Meghan Fox does. I'm straight, but there is something so hot about a female centerfold!
As far as the porn...sometimes the girl/guy focuses so much on close ups, and really, balls are just not that great looking, so I'd probably have to go with girl/girl. That is harder because both have the potential to be hot.

Gimme a Playboy magazine, and the hetero couple in the movie, please! o.O

Oh, and off topic, I knew there was a reason why I don't trust cats:

1. I would prefer to look at naked women (I'm straight, but think women are more beautiful and interesting to look at.)

2. Guy and girl porn.

Great article Flynne!

Apparently I need to cahnge dentists.
If women think they have a bad body image they need to read these comments, apparently few straight woman find men appealing, no matter how toned they are.

Personally, I'd rather have a foot rub....

http://www.cadentalspa.com/latimes/toothandnails.html

I would rather look at pictures of beautiful naked women than handsome naked men. I guess all the unfamiliar penises wouldn't much appeal to me--maybe we women need a personal relationship with a penis to really appreciate it?

I'd even rather see naked women than half-naked men in pictures. As far as bodies go, women's are prettier and turn me on much more. I say this never having had the slightest desire for sex with a woman.

I would MUCH rather see guy/girl porn than girl/girl. Girl/girl actually turns me off. I think it's because I can't imagine myself in the girl/girl scenes, whereas I definitely empathize with the girl in a good straight sex scene.

Thank you, you're all (informally, yes) proving me right. There's a reason that if Glamour has "The Swimsuit Issue" it isn't filled with pictures of men frolicking in their Speedos.

heh, Amy maybe you should have included how many want to READ it rather than view... that might change the scope a bit.

Pictures of naked women. I'm into men, but women just look prettier.

Hetero porn...girl-on-girl porn is usually so contrived and unsexy-looking.

Swiss: @ READ it comment. *Definitely* rather read it!

I would be more interested in looking at pictures of naked women, if I had to choose.

Looking at some strange naked man (however, toned) posed in a picture just looks...well, not so masculine to me. No amount of car grease, lifting of tires or work tools is going to change that. I find porn, positively boring.

(Now what really surprised me was how crazy I was over was that Wrangler commercial with Brett Favre.)

Okay, foot rub and a well written book of hetero erotica (or Brett's commercial on loop).

I know this makes a rather unusual girl, but I like looking at men. I *really* like looking at men.

Pics: I'd rather see nekkid guys. Well, actually I prefer the *almost* naked guys. There's something about the pants-slung-low look that really revs my engines. (That scene in Casino Royal where Craig is coming out of the water . . . . that'll do thanks.) Titty magazines are - disturbing. I tend to focus way too much on the photoshopping. And the lack of pubic hair makes me feel like I'm looking at overdeveloped 12yos.

Watch: Frankly I think I'd rather watch some guy/guy porn if porn was my only choice. I'd prefer to watch Casino Royale.

Better yet: Can they stock some of the better written slash fanfics or breech rippers?

*breeches rippers

(What do you know, Freud was right)

Another ditto Stacy.

Although I might also inquire for the need of naked people in the waiting room, and maybe find a new dentist, depending on how good the porn is.

Oh Feebie, you had to throw in Brett Favre? Ok, I have to go back on my answer. I'd take a fully clothed, even in Wranger jeans, Favre over anyone anyday! Unless of course he signs with Minnesota, then he's going to lose his sex appeal. How funny though that him fully clothed is sexier than naked. Sorry, but penises feel great, but they just aren't that pretty to look at.

I would look at naked men in a magazine, because I think the male body is beautiful (hot fit ones). I've actually rented mild gay porn with hot young guys, so I'm a bit unusual I guess.

I'd prefer to watch male/female porn. Girl/girl action weirds me out and is usually so badly done. Everything they do looks either painful (beltsand that clit, why don't you), or like performance art for the camera.

Kristin:

That Brett commercial sent me into a freakin frenzy when it came out. REWIND. TEVO. PLEASE. THAT doesn't happen nearly as often as I would like -- especially since I am living in a metro-sexual mecca.

Being a Bay Area dweller, his team affiliation is of no consequence to me (I do think he should have honored his first retirement, and like Michael Jordan...gone out when he was on top).

But you lost me with the penis comment (my qualifier would be "some random dude's" penis).

I'm a straight female - I'd probably just as soon a mix of males and females in the pictures. Which ones I'd focus on would probably depend on hormone levels and what kind of a mood I was in.

For porn, I'd rather see a man and woman. But then again, my sexual/plumbing preference would take backseat to my tastes in what I'm actually seeing. I'd rather see 2 men or 2 women going at it than see some of the freakier fetish stuff (or even just something that looks uncomfortable) being done by anybody.

The internet really ruined porn. As porn became more acceptable, there was some good erotic stuff coming out in the 80's, and getting steamier with better budgets and some decent writing. Then the internet made it so cheap and accessible that there just isn't any quality any more. Now it's all about how many holes can be stuffed at the same time.

With AIDS and all the other std's, it just seems like eroticism has been replaced with a sort of venal nihilism and contempt for humanity.

That being said, I do enjoy woman on woman with strap-ons and latex.

According to Esther Vilar in "The Manipulated Man" women want to see women in ads, porn and the like to compare themselves to each other, and the comments here bear this out. I don't think the women looking at women majority here would want to look at themselves though, just the same young babes men are accused of only looking at.

Now if the pictures of the naked men included their net worth (naked wallet) in figures alongside their figure, every women would prefer viewing that as squeezing money out of men is the real turn-on, so they'd love to look at naked old bucks who have wallets full of old bucks. The young bucks have no bucks.

Here's what Esther thinks about women admiring men's bodies from "The Manipulated Man" . . .

"Men are not used to having their looks discussed. Grown women, as a rule ugly creatures, have time and opportunity to admire men, but rarely see them. It is not that a woman is mean or envious; it is that she thinks of him as a machine -- a machine for the production of material goods. And who (among women -- my words here) regards a machine as an object of beauty?"

I think most other women like looking at other women is not because it turns them on (I'm assuming most of the female commenters here are straight), but because they project themselves into the woman they see, so it's narcissistic.

I've got a full length mirror, so I can look at myself anytime I want. I want something different to look at, and there's nothing I like better than a nice six pak and a nicely toned male body.

"but they just aren't that pretty to look at." -Kristen

heh, wasn't is Robin Williams who described Mr. Happy as looking like an alien? ;)

maybe it's a cultural thing. I think guys are dog ugly, and most women I know seem to like certain muscular parts like arms or abs or whatnot, but not the whole package.

I am male but most of the women I have known "well" would say they would rather look at a picture of a woman's naked body. As to the girl/girl porn versus the girl/guy porn? There likely would have been some back and forth banter on that answer. I think if the question was strictly, "what looks more attractive, girl/girl or girl/guy", I think they would say the girl/girl more often. However, porn is also about the scenario, how appealingly wrong or 'naughty' it is, how raw and passionate the sex, and things like that.

i'm a porno snob.

nothing but pics or movies of girls. NO guys please. not a homophobe thing really, i concur with most of the people here, that women are more appealing to look at, but i also just don't find the penii attractive.

women, women, and more women.

all porno is contrived and poorly done. except caligula.

As a man widely regarded as more than very attractive, I still must say that the plainest truth is that the plainest girl will always be a more beautiful creature than the most well sculpted male. Men are built for certain functions, and in the physical sense, that means mostly brutish ones. I'm fine with that, I LIKE being a brute. But we'll never be the decorative sex. The female sex on the other hand, is far more lithe and lovely to look upon. There are many reasons why men and women both prefer to look at women, but it all comes down to that.

I know this will sound cheesey, but I'm very plot-driven in my porn. And I love costumes and sets, so which ever had the best costumes and sets. Even pure nudity can have costumes and sets if you include hair and make-up, and lighting.

I'm not onto guy on guy sex. But if they were well-costumed...

I tend to like fantasy, goth, historical, and dom/sub.

Does the fact that most women like looking at other women have any connection to body issues, body image? Just wondering.

Men! But not necessarily totally naked. Half-naked is good. I like me some low slung pants where some of his hip bones are showing.

Looking at naked women is meh because scantily clad women are so ubiquitous. I feel like I've already seen it all. Naked or near-naked men are much rarer and therefore more interesting, IMO.

Women's bodies are more beautiful, but men's bodies are more interesting and sexy.

Hetero sex definitely. Two girls would just bore me.

I'm late to the party on this one, but figured I'd chime in anyway.

I have to agree with Amelia. I've seen plenty of naked women. Hell, I don't have to work that hard to see naked women. So I'd look at a magazine with naked men. I'd love to be able to contrast and compare, to examine "the package" without being of accused of staring (since, theoretically, everyone in the dentist's office is doing it). Heck, I'd like to see a penis with a foreskin, since the most I've seen of one of those has been in an anatomy text book!

Don't get me wrong, naked women are interesting to look at, but for erotica, I'd prefer a guy. with a chick, I'd be checking out how she's got her hair done more than her boobs.

For porn, well, I'd go for girl-guy, just to see if I could pick up any techniques. ^_~

Someone above mentioned slashfic, and I thought I'd point out that many girls of my generation seem to get REALLY turned on by guy-guy relationships. For folks unfamiliar, just hit fanfiction.net or similar and find out which guys from your favorite movie/TV show have been hiding their gay secret for so very long. I've never seen it more true than with anime fans, too.
