    This might be a little different for the trans crowd tho, but being LGB(T), do you like what you see in the mirror? Even if you don't look like those guys in the D&G ads..

    Or when fantasizing, do you like being able to touch what you want to touch?

    Does your own body turn you on?

    Not in the slightest, I hate the way I look. I kind of don't connect the fact that I'm a girl to the fact that I'm attracted to girls, if that makes any sense.

    I avoid looking in mirrors whenever possible, even in the bathroom.

    Only in the most generic way possible. I've always thought that gay folks have it over straight folks when it comes to masturbation. Consider - a straight guy is horny. He starts fantasizing about a woman's breasts and so forth, but then when he goes to masturbate, he's gotta grab a dick.* But I'm gay. I like dicks. And when I'm horny, I'll be damned - there's this dick just sitting there waiting for me to play with it! How cool is that! :grin:

    * - yet another reason why I don't get the machismo homophobia thing. Almost every guy masturbates, which means they've been giving hand jobs on a regular basis, right? :slight_smile:

    ^
    There, the words I was looking for, I didn't mean 'liking your body' because you look good but because you're a male and like male bodies (or whatever gender you are/like).

    But i wouldnt guess at many guys fantasising about their own dicks when masturbating. Im assuming most people would be thinking of someones elses?

    I don't get turned on in the slightest by looking at myself in the mirror.

    Same answer as Lex.
    I get distracted when I look in the mirror, but not because I'm attracted to what I see. I see all of my little blemishes and I check my teeth, etc.

    I will admit that I occasionally spend time in front of a mirror admiring my body since I used to be 50 pounds overweight. I DO NOT want that to happen again.

    Sometimes, if I'm drunk or I squint my eyes, I think I look hot. And the fact that I feel good about myself (on the rare occasion) makes me feel... well... turned on.
    The idea that I look good enough for someone to feel sexually attracted to me is a turn on.

    I hope I explained that right.
    My vote should really be cast between 'yes' sometimes and 'no' other times.

    Definantly not, I don't even look in mirrors because I hate the way I look
     
  18. This.
    For the most part. I never really had body image issues, which I guess I should be glad for. I do get turned on if I'm in the right mood, because overall I think my body is appealing. I don't think it's narcissistic at all, at least for me.

    I don't really get turned on, but I admire my body on occasion.
    I lost weight when I was 11/12 and I just started to admire my body from then on as a reminder of why exercise and eating reasonable amounts is important for health and appearance.
    Plus, what can I say, I have a nice body. I like it and I don't care if I sound a little narcissistic. But it just doesn't turn me on; I prefer a slightly different body anyway.
