Formspring Friday: Unusual Turn-Ons

What is one thing that you think is incredibly sexy that most others wouldn't?

Jack's Answer

My turn-ons are pretty broad.  I go for all the typical stuff:  Full, round asses and soft, comfortable breasts where one can lay one's head and drift off to sleep.  Sexy, pouting lips that hint at exquisite oral pleasure to come.  Long legs.  Pretty, scintillating eyes of any color.  I like personality, intelligence, and sense of humor.  I find all of these things arousing, and I acknowledge that most people probably do as well.  The fact is, most of what turns me on is fairly mainstream.  There is, however, one thing that comes to mind, and while it may not be universally sexy, it's definitely not the sort of thing that no one finds sexy but me.  That one thing is glasses.

They say that boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses.  If that's true, then I suppose thanks are in order; because the boys refrained from showing their appreciation for the cute bespectacled young lasses, they enjoyed it all the more when I did.  Glasses are often a sign of intelligence - most people don't screw up their eyes from watching too much reality TV - and frequently symbolize quirkiness or geekiness.  Often the preconception that comes with wearing glasses belie the reality, as most of the women I've known who wore glasses were quite wild and unpredictable.

Jill's Answer

Watching a man interact with a baby or a small child is one of the biggest turn-ons that I can think of that doesn't directly involve sex.  There is something very exciting about seeing a Dad (or an uncle or in some cases even a grandfather) hold a baby with confidence, kiss her gently on the head, and talk to her in a reassuring voice.  If he makes the baby giggle by tickling her or blowing on her belly, even better.  Watching a man rock a baby in his arms, or even dance while cradling her can provoke not only a physical reaction in me, but a very strong emotional reaction as well.  If the child is a toddler and he's dancing with her standing on his feet, it brings tears to my eyes.

It really depends on the guy, of course, but watching a strong man be so tender and loving toward a child, without reservation or self-consciousness, is sexy.  A guy who I wouldn't ordinarily find attractive can completely change my opinion based on how he acts with a baby.  I don't know why I feel this way, but it's very real to me.  I can't be the only woman who is so affected by witnessing a man's paternal instinct.  I see this a lot with Jack.  He's hardly the sort of man to adopt a tough, macho exterior.  But when I see him hold our daughter, talk to her, or play with her, it melts my heart, especially if he doesn't know that I'm watching.
