The lesbian porn thread got me thinking:
1: Why do we (straight men) think females are more attractive than males?
I say this as individual body parts.

2: Do you (straight women) fantasize more times of being with a woman over being with a man?
This is for fondling, stroking, licking, sucking genitals of random woman/women, or wanting a specific personality if with a man.

To both males and females of all sexual preferences:
3: In your fantasies, which do you prefer, naked, partially naked, almost undressed, or in skimpy clothing allowing others to see?
 
I've always figured it was because curves are more natural, therefore more desirable than sharp edges (hence the influx of consumer products which now lack right angles).

And I prefer partially-naked. It lets my imagination get a work-out, too.
 
I think males are attracted to women partly because we are hard-wired that way, and that their body's are much more of a streamlined, naturally beautiful shape. honestly, i agree with the above post. you dont see any products shaped to resemble a limp cock... that wouldn't be attractive.

I'm a fan of partially clothed. I think women are at their sexiest when wearing lingerie, mini skirts, or their favorite flirty, skimpy outfit. Shows off just enough to make the find go wild, while covering enough to keep us guys wishing.
 
1. Not applicable to me

2. In my fantasies I am almost always with a man/men. I might think about a woman at times but it's like hundred to one. And I find a nice bodied man quite attractive.

3. I like being partially clothed in my fantasies. Sometimes fully clothed as well. But mostly in lingerie or such. It usually moves on to undressing and nudity.

You know, I never thought of the products angle, but that's a chicken or the egg type thing.

Perfume bottles in particular are curvy to remind men of a woman's curves, but where did that come from?
Why are we attracted to curves over sharp edges?
This question is reversed for women of the 40s and 50s (when Dick Tracy was popular).

I'd have to say topless (if I can feel them up), but mostly I'm with you guys.
A woman in a skimpy outfit stripping, I think is sexier than fully nude right off the bat.
I bet most women feel this way as well.

I think, from a non-sexual view points, it's mostly that women are soft and gentle in the way they look and feel.

Either naked or almost undressed.

I love seeing women fully dressed in nice clothing. And I don't mean lingerie or garmets or anything sexy like that, but professional work clothes. It adds to the fantasy for me as it shows their class and elegance.

Almost undressed is also very erotic.
 
A man or a women holding me down, whispering in me ear all the dirty filthy things they are going to do to me then doing them twice.
 
sexy is something in the brain.

it's a reaction that happens.
 
(my first post. i feel slightly nekkid without an avatar)

Isn't the first question kind of a no brainer? Perhaps you could ask a male cat why it wants to mate with a female. We're animals - we're hardwired for procreation.

Q/No.3? It depends on the situation and context, obviously.

Then let me put it this way:
Why do we get an erection (or partial erection) when we're aroused?

By the way, on avatars, I felt the same way at first, but you get over it if you think in terms of not following the pack.
In fact you'll feel like a trend setter.

That was kinda my question in the first place.
Why does it happen?

Actually we might have to look at the levels of beauty first.

Attractive
It's modern usage is not really the same as it's literal translation:
Not quite ugly but not quite pretty (a diamond in the rough)
Cute
Cute looks usually has a cute personality (you'll know it when you see it), but one can be cute and pretty at the same time.
Pretty
Almost every girl is pretty now-a-days, but once in a while you find that special one, which goes back to pretty and cute.
Stunning
Stunning is reserved for three types of women:
Exotic (usually foreign), beautiful (difficult status to achieve, day to day looks), gorgeous (difficult status to achieve and maintain, day to day looks)
Sexy
A personality that can go with the above looks (cute and attractive excluded)
Seductive
A personality that can go with the above looks (all of them)

Just how is that level determined?

To me, seductive is flirtatious or romantic, while sexy is more intimate (by intimate I don't mean sex).

This makes no sense. Straight women by definition do not fantasize about other women. A woman who fantasizes about other women is bisexual or lesbian. As a straight woman I find male bodies much more attractive to look at. If you offered me a stack of male photos or a stack of female photos, not even erotic ones but, say, people in Halloween costumes, I'd pick the male photos every time. Women's shapes aren't unpleasant, they often remind me of fruit (pears, peaches), but I just have much more instinctive interest in the triangles and trapezoids men tend to be built out of than the ovals women tend to be built out of.

I do have strong preferences as far as men's personalities go. I like the archetype of the guy who acts cocky but is inwardly insecure. That's a total cliche of romance novels, but oh well. I also like guys who are brooding/lonely/angsty and needs to be loved and cheered up. That's another archetype, it's extremely common in hurt/comfort romances.

To both males and females of all sexual preferences:
3: In your fantasies, which do you prefer, naked, partially naked, almost undressed, or in skimpy clothing allowing others to see?
Typically a fantasy of mine begins with the people clothes and proceeds until they are naked. But as far as still images go I usually prefer skimpy clothing.

1: Um... because you're strait? I don't think like this, which was my first clue. I see hot chicks and think about how hot they are... but then I see hot guys and get those same thoughts/feelings.

2: If they're strait, it's gonna be guy...

3: I like skimpy clothes! Cute shit for me- cute shit for some chicks, but I love that dominatrix/corset/plastic or leather look! The incredibly cliche leather daddy thing works to- I dunno, I like clothes that emphasize dominance.

1. Because females are the object of our desires!

3. Skimpy (or even full) clothing.
 
You all are forgetting one thing in sexual preference:
Fantasies/day dreams/dreams are meant to show either the impossible, highly unlikely, or alternate/taboo possibilities.
A straight woman is attracted to a man, but she might fantasize about women in alternate possibilities, or even taboo subject matter like incest.

How many women here have a girl crush on a family member?
How many women here have a girl crush on a non family member?

Another thing, friendship can turn to infatuation pretty quickly, and once at that point, a full blown crush isn't far behind.
Love is another matter completely.
 
To me a female can have a great body, but not be very sexy.
Sexy is how they act, move, talk look etc. In other words, communicating sex (In any possible way).
