Are women visually stimulated?

[Anonymous]

I have heard men are visually stimulated and women are emotionally stimulated, but I have also heard some people say that women are visually stimulated too, but I have never seen a women say they got turned on solely because of looks, every video and interview asking women what they want ends up with every women saying something else and not mentioning body parts at all, they mainly speak about personality, can someone help me clear this up once and for all?

What about you yourself? I mean you would know how it is with you. Its not every men and every women, but men are in general more visually stimulated while for a lot of women thats not as important. Also it doesn't necessarily mean that only emotions turn you on. Thats another misconception I think. Ironically a lot of women nor men dont understand the other side. So for me yes having a connection with him is a huge part of the turn on I have from him (not saying his looks are lacking).

What many people (mostly men in my experience) dont understand either: A turn on in porn is also not really visual as it is with most men. because of that a lot of men call me "hiding lesbian" or such things. I rarely get turned on by the men in porn but by the thought of her receiving pleasure. I can't imagine myself as the men so why would that turn me on? But I can imagine her pleasure and if it feels real it helps and is a huge turn on in porn.

I can't imagine guys getting turned on by lesbian porn, because what is the turn on with that? They would never be involved in it except they ARE a girl. So why is it for a lot of men a turn on?

Lesbian porn (and any porn) is a massive turn on for men because men are visually stimulated, your saying that seeing porn doesn't turn you on, so that backs up the theory that women are not visually stimulated, you are emotionally stimulated.

[Asker]

You also mention his looks are not lacking, what do you mean by that? do you mean lean body? nice muscles? could you elaborate?

[msmissydc]

Oh I do get turned on by porn just not in a sense of watching men for their appearance. More in a sense of imagining what she feels in the moment. But yes that what I was trying to explain I do think the theory is true in general. just not for every single person. So a probabilistic theory basically.

[msmissydc]

He works out and I do think he looks hot (my fiance I am talking about here). I wanted to make clear that its not only a emotional turn on for me because I dont like his appearance.

[Asker]

Is it possible to explain how an emotional connection turns you on? like how does it make you want to have sex?

[Asker]

Can looks solely without a emotional connection turn you on?

[msmissydc]

Hard to explain really. Its a kind of knowing, trusting and the feels I allays have for him. There are moments with him that just just feel great. I want to have sex with him because I love him and I know we both can feel great during sex.

[msmissydc]

Not really no. Just looks without anything else no. I mean I do know when I find someone hot and good looking but that is not really turning me on in the same sense as having a connection with him does.

I am very visual. I will freely admit I love checking out hot guys and find appearance very stimulating. It would seem most of the women in my circle of friends will admit to being visual as well. I think this maybe another case of societal expectations suppressing women's freedom of expression...

[Asker]

You say you are very visual, can you explain what turns you on? Like boobs for example would turn on a man, can you explain what sexually arouses you?

[northerngal]

Sure. I like how men dress... how they move. I love checking out guys bums. Oh and do not get me started about sweat pant season! ha ha ha

[Asker]

Would you have sex with a guy based solely on looks?

[northerngal]

I will admit I have.

Let's be honest, most men aren't that fun to look at. So I think women have adapted to finding other traits that attract her to a man.
That being said, you can't convince me that she won't bite her lip if a rare sexy stud walks by her and she happens to get a good look

[inhua]

well women aren't blind nor are they mind readers.

men's and women's visuals are equal but viewed completely differently in what they find attractive. a pair of boobs and big ass won't stimulate a woman just like broad shoulders and a big package won't stimulate a man.

[PositiveFlight]

I’m very visual but I can get turned on with all the above. But an emotional connection and the idea of love and making love, touch, all turn me on

[Apple1996]

Some women definitely are visual including myself. If I see something that I find attractive it immediately turns me on

[Asker]

How would you explain being visually stimulated? like seeing big muscles? give an example about yourself (if you want)

[Apple1996]

Its really as simple as seeing something and that triggers me to be turned on. And it depends on the guy like some look really good with muscles and others don't. Everyone has their own qualities that make them attractive

[Asker]

Would you have sex with a man based only on looks or would you need to have an emotional connection first?

[talka20]

Yes they do

[Asker]

Then why is 90% of beauty products only targeted at women? and why are 80% of porn users men? and why on the street do I never see women checking out other guys?

[FilmGuy93]

Women are definitely visually stimulated. Women are turned on by a lot of sensory things. Sight, smell (especially), taste; women are very physical.

[Asker]

Then why is 90% of beauty products only targeted at women? and why are 80% of porn users men? and why on the street do I never see women checking out other guys?

[FilmGuy93]

Women check out men all the time; they're just sneaky about it! lol Women aren't attracted to visual things the same way men are, but it doesn't mean that they aren't visual at all.

[Asker]

What about the fact that 85% of porn users are male? if they were really visually stimulated wouldn't it be 50% men 50% women?

[FilmGuy93]

Women tend to consume porn in the form of books and longer form content. Male and female sexuality are just different things. It's hard to simulate female sexuality in video porn.

[the-mad-german]

They are

[UncleBilll]

All the time, shopping malls, beaches, strip clubs, casinos, colleges lol

[Nikki1989]

Men like to think they are. 🤣

[Asker]

Do you mean visual stimulation doesn't exist?

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I was under the impression that most people are visually stimulated in some manner.

[FireFox001]

I have a friend who is very much visually stimulated. And I am speaking from experience. She doesn't feel anything about me, but she *really* loves my body. Well. One certain part of it.

[Talkingwizard]

If a woman sees something she finds attractive, she will be visually stimulated, its just going to happen, keep in mind not every woman is the same, but from what I've noticed is that women often connect the visual to a perceived thought, maybe a certain guy or part of the body reminds her of a feeling she had and connect it to that visual, but i often see women being stimulated my audio, touch, and actions more,

[Asker]

Exactly I don't think they are visually stimulated they are stimulated by touch and voice, because 90% of beauty products only targeted at women and 80% of porn users men, so obviously they can't be visually stimulated and also on the street I never see women checking out other guys

[Talkingwizard]

You can't say none are, because there are women who are, its just a fact, but maybe not most
