Curious: Question for the Ladies

[HarlemBlade]

Hi there all you gorgeous Lit Ladies! I've just got a question about something I was curious about. What do you think when you walk into a guy's room or office and you see he's got up the latest swimsuit calendar or the newest playboy on his desk. Does this make you think, "ugh, this guy only thinks of women as objects" or is it exciting or other?

 

[Mischka]

Unless his job involves editing, marketing, or publishing said magazines or calendars, then I view him as someone who is so distracted by sex that he can't concentrate on work. It's one thing to think about sex, it's another to bring props to work. Highly unprofessional.

Mischka, maybe he's a mechanic. Isn't it mandatory for them to hang those types of calendars?

Good point. Vendors publish those (semi)nude calendars for many blue collar professions. Still not to my liking in a mixed gender setting, but there's a precedent in such areas.

Depends..

firstly upon wether he's a sleazy type himself, if so..i'll probably visibly shudder and look disgusted, no matter what the style of the calendar, lol.

But, if he's an ok guy, it depends on the calendar.. for instance if looks cheap and/or nasty..

i.e. women done up to look like little girls, women who almost Are little girls(under18), women who look stoned/pinned/drunk, women who don't look happy and/or nominally in control of the cameraman..women in shots that look "gynacological'...

It will affect how i think about him, and if i was considering flirting/dating..NOOOO Wayyyy!!jose!!! and i'll prolly avoid him from then on

However..if its penthouse or playboy i'll prolly sneak a look myself when he leaves the office*evilgrin*
..ditto any "brand" of calendar where the shots are slick, artistic, sexy, expensive props, smiling healthy, happy sexy women

Yes even bondage and fetish calendars are ok by me so long as they're respectfull, expensive looking(means she prolly got paid a decent amount)LOL and the women look happy/sensual..its all in the eyes

Seeing one of these in a guy's office/room is exciting*tingle down spine*
if i'm interested in him for flirting/dating, if not it's "other"..meaning kinda cute and very human, not a problem.

I think nude pics should be put where only the person who hung it there can see it if it. It may not worry me but I know my mother would feel damn uncomfortable looking at naked boobies when having to sit somewhere in public.

I had a business 12 years ago that had a reception area that all ages and sexes came into. I had what I consider a classy framed b/w print of a biker (clean finger nails) on a harley with the leathers etc. I was amazed that some people commented that it may not be the right place to hang it. I saw the print as something I enjoy perving at.... a damn sexy man with a good square chin sitting on a powerful bike. But others saw the bad biker thing and thought it not right in a "nice" business place. So you can't please them all. I never took the print down and now have it hanging on my studio wall

It wouldn't bother me at all if it were in his ROOM, but at work isn't the most appropriate place for that, in fact, most companies will not allow those types of decorations in the work place at all anymore. I remember in my first job after college, which was at a rather conservative company, some of the guys had pics of near naked women on their desks. So, being the liberated secretary that I was, I didn't say a word, just put up a couple of very tasteful pics from Playgirl on the bulletin board behind my desk that faced into the room. None of the guys were naked, but they were semi-clothed...a shirt off with the top button undone on their jeans, etc. When the men started complaining, I simply pointed to their own little collections. My boss finally decided all of the pics needed to be kept inside desk drawers rather than displayed.

 

[Andreina]

i think that his work place certainly isnt the most appropriate place to display his calender/etc... I dont really mind guys having this sort of stuff, I've got a semi-nude poster of Denzel Washington in my room - for inspirational purposes but it certainly wouldnt make a very professional impression if I'd consult this guy for something and had to stare at boobs the whole time.

 

[lovetoread]

I dont think that any pics,be they male or female should be hung in a work place,be they work in a blue or white collar job. Not for any other reason then the fact that any work place has a chance of being visited by a child.

 

[Aphrodisiac]

I must say I would wonder as to why he has such material as PlayBoy in his office. I would assume its a place of business & such things should be kept @ home.

Hi there all you gorgeous Lit Ladies! I've just got a question about something I was curious about.

Does this make you think, "ugh, this guy only thinks of women as objects" or is it exciting or other?

I think those types of calendars magazines whether man or woman is not appropriate at any work (Ok unless you work at the playboy mansion or a strip club etc).

What you have in your room, house, etc doesnt matter. I dont think anything bad of it. I personally think some people are just so uptight about sex, and always being "politically correct". Sex is sex and if you like to look at pics, read adult eroticta/porn, as long as you arent hurting anyone so what. I actually get turned on by reading erotica or watching videos with my honey and it just makes for exciting sex.

I guess I could understand having a problem with it if it was like a rape porn magazine as personally I feel if looking at someone beating and raping a woman turns you on it would say something about you personally. And I wouldnt want that type of person for a S/O or sex partner. And I am not talking about BDSM PLAY, but real abuse type stuff. I have seen some bizarre things in the local adult store and they downright scare me.

Also if you are extreme and say, spend so much on porn you cant pay your bills, then yes you have a problem, but if you just enjoy looking at attractive people and sex then its no big deal.

I walk up and flip thru the calendar!

 

[Lady Violet]

Concidering I've bought my father the swimsuit calendars for the past 4 years, i would say I'm cool to him having one!

For other guys, It wouldn't really bother me, but if hes got that kind of calendar at work, id wonder what kind he has at home!

 

[cellis]

An interesting question, and as I was reading it, I wondered about the opposite...

what if a woman has a calendar of the same hanging in her office or work place... you know the ones I'm talking about... those gorgeous firemen, semi-nude or the biker guys on harleys....

is it okay for a woman to such material at the work place...
and do we perceive the woman differently than the man...

Personally, I think neither have a place on the job site...

 

[StrangeLuv]

Being bi and loving to look at half naked women as I do, I would flip through the calendar and compare favorites.

 

[Wiggles]

I would think, "Hey this guy likes looking at hot females".
Might make me feel a little uncomfortable, but I could deal with it.

Now the really scary question is, Ladies have you ever slept with a man and woken up to a room with Porn stars and vid's showcased on the shelves?

I have, but I didn't mind because apparently he was getting some Very good pointers..........<Drifting back into memories>

 

[White_Tigress_]

I personally wouldn't care to look at the calendar in a professional office. Looks tacky. Now if it was a home business then fine, other than I would still think its very unprofessional.

I sit next to a girl that has about 6 half naked men on her computer desktop but nothing has been said about it from managment. Im surprised because if I was the manager, that would have went a long time ago. Other employees have rolled their eyes when they walk by her desk, some others stop and stare. I shake my head.

I feel sex, sex acts, sexual pics..ect.. and business should not go together... so don't get me wrong on what my views are.....I LOVE sex!!!! I just don't flaunt it around work with men in a thong hanging on my wall. LOL

My answer, I would probably be a bit disqusted if I walked into an office and saw it hanging up.

 

[HarlemBlade]

Thanks for all the feedback!

If you were in my workplace I would think that you wished to be fired since such material is spelled out in company sexual harrassment policy as being offensive and cause for immediate termination. This applies to calendars and or magazines displaying either sex, btw. Personally, I find it tacky and unprofessional.

We had a four hour staff development seminar on the school boards sexual harrassment policy last week. A calendar would definitely be grounds for disciplinary action. We were told that certain coffee cups could be considered sexual harrassment.


Coffee cups????? Okay, somebody find me a sexually harrassing coffee cup and send it to me. Maybe it'll help me wake up in the morning. I'll be smart and keep it at home though.
