Why are so many straight guys grossed out by vaginas?

So, every gay friend I've ever had either thinks vaginas are cute or confusing but none of them are literally disgusted by them. every straight guy i talk to, however, are either IN LOVE with lady-parts or they are REPULSED by them.

The spectrum of reactions with hetero dudes is honestly kind of insane. What's your take?

  • If you have met supposed "straight" guys that are turned off and downright repulsed by vagina, you should question those supposed "straight" guys' sexuality. Don't believe that because guys only watch female-focused porn and/or focus mostly on women that they're straight. Some men are great at keeping their true sexuality hidden deep in the closet. No true straight man would ever be turned off by vagina. Either way, making judgments about how straight men feel about vaginas based on your own personal experiences and friend circles is illogical because it doesn't represent how a majority of straight men feel about them. In response to some of the other opinions, I noticed that some men mentioned the smell and appearance. The problem with that claim is that it is not the vagina itself that is a turn off, but rather the poor hygiene and the fact that it has an appearance that doesn't correspond to your liking. Apparently, not every vagina in the world is clean and because they come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, you are bound to find some that might not be as visually appealing to you. However, when a true straight man does come across a clean vagina that is visually appealing, he would be turned on, not repulsed. If every vagina, no matter the hygiene or appearance, turns him off, then the problem is clear as day: he's gay.

    • That's a lot of expectations to put on straight men. If a guy isn't into men but just isn't turned on by vagina I don't think that makes them gay. I'm pretty sure being gay means you're exclusively attracted to the opposite sex. As I said, these guys like boobs, they're into the female form, they like ass and hips and thighs like churches chicken, they just don't appreciate the muff flaps. This isn't a unique thing, either. I dated a foot-fetishist who could literally get off to a footjob... But not if it's a guy. What do you call that? Sexuality is a lot more fluid than people tend to think. And it's interesting to see how many people haven't encountered this, specific, point of disgust.

    • @Grande_Beefy_Swirl: If a man is completely repulsed by the female reproductive organ that he is biologically designed to be involved with sexually, then that is highly questionable. Sure, he might be turned on by the female form, but that doesn't mean that he can't be gay. The possibility strongly exists that he could be bisexual (which is still gay because you're still attracted to men) and secretly into penis too. In fact, it could be very possible that a man downright repulsed by the sight of vagina might not even be repulsed at the sight of a penis. Think about it. It's not rocket science. If he is completely disgusted by vagina, then, deep down, he really doesn't like getting involved with vagina. For example, if I was disgusted by penis, I wouldn't do anything with a penis because it's disgusting. lol If that's the case, why I am wasting time with men? Looking at a man's body obviously can't do anything for me that a penis can, so why even get involved with men if I am repulsed by a man's primary sexual organ? You can't help but wonder if a guy like him probably likes penis better. I don't understand how you don't see this as suspect.

    • ... But they're not gay? They can't be with men. One of them is married and literally has a kid. (I'm aware that's not exclusive to heterosexual men but he's not a conservative so he has no reason to live a lie) Also: no one is biologically "designed" to be heterosexual. That's not how any of this works. If you aren't mostly attracted to men then you're not gay. A gay man who likes boobs wouldn't be considered straight by any stretch of the imagination. Or maybe a gay guy who just doesn't enjoy dicks. If he's still attracted to men and literally can't be with a woman AT ALL then that guy is still gay. Sexuality is not as simple as we might make it out to be, there's clearly a bit of nuance to everyone's orientation. a lot of people have odd fetishes, some people aren't attracted to anyone outside of their race, some people want to bang older folks, some people want to bang (legal) younger folks. People In divergent cultures have different traits they consider attractive, some cultures aren't very interested in breasts because women live topless, just like the men. Some cultures consider ankles to be a sexually provocative part of the body. None of that is based in our "biology" it's all social perception. They're not gay. They just don't like roast-beef.

  • Vagina is only repulsive if it is not clean just as a girl would find a guy's dick repulsive if he has crotch rot.
    Honestly, I believe some men say that they find it repulsive because they suck at cunnilingus. It's just their way of making the girl think that they simply do not perform oral because they do not like it down there.
    An inexperienced guy often does not know how to find the clitoris. He gets nervous if he is not doing it right as we guys have a macho image we got to uphold. A guy wants to KNOW and not THINK he is doing it correctly.
    I did not have a special book years back with a road map and what exactly to do. I was thinking of the movie American Pie when I said that. If you like raunchy comedy then you will see how the guy wanted to please his girlfriend in that department but was afraid until he was given the "Bible" of love making. I cannot post the link as it says I have to be Expr 3 to do so.

    Straight guys are for the most part not grossed out by the vagina as most daydream about it.

  • Yeah that's not true. Gay guys yes, they are probably not finding them attractive but not straight guys, this is entirely fabricated. I'm sure some have joked about it maybe that's what is confusing you, you didn't get their sarcasm or they decided to screw with you but what your saying isn't the case. You get more women who find male genitals unattractive then males who find female genitals unattractive.

  • If I want to be totally honest, they are disgusting to look at just like penis are totally disgusting as well.

    No genitalia is really an appetizing sight and they are everything but aesthetic. The one is just a plain hole, an entry to the inside of the body, just like an anus, nose, mouth or ears.

    Has anyone ever pretended that ear hole, nostrils or anuses were something beautiful? The same applies basically for a vulva/vagina combination.

    Just like any body opening, a vagina stinks by nature if you don't use chemicals to clean that entrance to the inside of the body.

    • I think you might be asexual.

    • So, let me see that under a different angle. Everybody finds a sunset something romantic and you say that it is nothing special. Does that make you blind?

    • If everyone in the country had a deeply rooted biological desire to stare at, touch and smell sunsets and you don't that doesn't make you blind, it just means you're not attracted to sunsets in the same way the rest of the world is. It's not an insult or a disability to be asexual, ya know. Just means you ain't into the peen or veen as much.

  • I can only think of one guy I've ever known who wasn't attracted to vaginas - and he is now dating a dude.

    I think you've just met some closeted gays.

    • Nope. Definitely hetero. Boob guys, only watch female porn, they just don't like the flop-flaps.

    • Boob guys? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️What the $*#&. That's the dumbest thing I have heard. When vulva's turn purple from engorgement 🤤.

  • It has everything to do with maturity and what they have been taught in life. You can usually encourage them to change their mind about it (grow up).

  • Immaturity, ignorance the same reasons any straight women may find a penis repulsive

  • Damn. I haven't experienced that. Most guys I meet and see love vaginas and Id be confused if a man I was with wasn't. Definitely wouldn't wanna sleep with him!

  • Most guys love looking at pussy

  • Why are so many straight women grossed out by foreskin?
    For the same reason, genitals are kind of just gross, and your sexual orientation doesn't really change that.

    I just wish it would become as socially acceptable to tell women to get labiaplasty for their roast beefs as it is to tell guys to get "cut".

  • I have always loved women as a whole and I love everything about them. I want to gobble them up on every inch of their pretty bodies! Of course there are exceptions. Some women have a bush so hairy that you can't find her slit or your so busy holding her pubes out of the way that you can't have your hands free to caress her all over. There are also people that are not clean and that is a big turn off.

  • This is news to me. Most guys I know or know of, are quite adamant about their fondness for their vagetarian diet.

  • I never heard of any guy with such a general complaint.

  • I don't know the answer if we're gonna accept that the vulva haters are truly heterosexual. That doesn't make sense to me. Personally I love the appearance of the vulva.

  • I don't know. They aren't exactly pleasant to look at. Genitals in general aren't. I'm not grossed out by them, I just don't find them appealing.

  • I think they watched or read to much pornagraphy so when they see a vagina with a bit of meat on it they over react

  • I never heard that before.

  • I love Vaginas! 😍

  • I think vagina's are beautiful and i love to smell one , taste one

  • Got me! I think they're really cute and pretty!! Especially when they're bald!! I'd LOVE to just sit and look at one for a good while!!

  • A vagina looks like a clam wearing a fright wig.

    Why are so many straight guys grossed out by vaginas?
