Kez Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Ok, I know most of us here are asexual, but does anyone esle get turned on by 'racy' scenes in books/etc? Also, I know we dont expericance sexual attraction, but can you guys see _why_ other people see other people as being that way? Or is it just oblivious? Not in a bad way, just *whoosh*, over your head? I have to stop posting 2 questions in a topic. :oops: Link to post Share on other sites

JimDandy Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Ok, I know most of us here are asexual, but does anyone esle get turned on by 'racy' scenes in books/etc? Nope. Also, I know we dont expericance sexual attraction, but can you guys see _why_ other people see other people as being that way? Certainly. A little research into the biology & psychology of attraction provided most of what I needed to know in this area. It's just that emotionally, in this instance, I don't really identify with it.

Cate Perfect Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 It depends on the scene/type. I like Victorian erotica (written during the era, not just set in that period), because it's written beautifully, subtly. Contemporary erotica is so...blatant and gross. Watching racy scenes in movies depend upon whether or not I like the actors and the way the scene is set up. If it seems like a writer just said, 'Okay, we need a naked scene now' then that does nothing for me. If someone else is in the room then I get embarrassed no matter how much I like the actors. I've done love scenes on stage (and nudity) and neither of those things bother, either. I've done things in the theatre without blinking that I would never consider doing in real life. Go figure.
