Do guys look at women in lust more when they are clothed or naked?

Asked by dutchbrossis (1384points) January 17th, 2010

I have been talking to my mom. When I talk to her I ask her to give me an actual explanation what is wrong with nudity. She has yet to do so.

One of the things she said was that guys will look at you in lust. My husbands response to that was that guys look at girls in lust clothed or not. My dad said that most guys look at girls in lust more when they have something like a bikini on than naked ?

What do you guys think ?

I think leaving a little to the imagination (or a lot to the imagination) is far more lusty than nude.

My guess is that leaving something for them to take off is sexier than pure nudity. Why else would lingerie sell so well?
I mean, it just screams “don’t you want to unwrap me?”
Somewhere between showing enough skin to say that you’re receptive and hiding enough to make them really really curious is probably lust city.

As a guy myself, I agree with your dad.

Clothed: short skirts, lots of leg, nice white knickers – I need a cold shower now :(

IMO nudity is really rather dull compared to the suggestion of it.

Right off the bat I’d have to say that it didn’t really matter, but the more I think about it I’d have to say…. clothed. I say this because it leaves room for a broader range of imagination. Being nude reveals all and although appealing it’s usually doesn’t take much thought for a fire to burn. Lol, although if they are naked it usually means lust is about to happen anyway, so,.....

Totally agree with your dad too.
A little show of flesh is great but the hidden is always intriguing…....

A revealing top is much more captivating than a bare one.

dutchbrossis's avatar

my original response to my mom was that if a guy thinks I am sexy enough to look at me in lust being naked that is flattering

If I think a woman’s hot, she’s hot either way. Clothing can be used to create a very seductive and intriguing look that seems to be able to go beyond what being purely naked can accomplish. But to be perfectly frank if there’s a mutual attraction I’m not going to hold her choice of clothing or lack there of against her.

Naked, of course… but it does depend on the setting and mood conveyed.
For instance, if the girl is obviously making a play, and looking suggestive, etc, the feeling of lust will readily come to the surface.
If she is merely running past to the bathroom and has been ‘caught with her pants down’, the setting is not there.
Some girls who are just physically sexual beings can be wearing most of their clothes, but still make themselves very alluring.

I think context decides whether or not i would lust for them, like @denidowi said.

eg. if a girl appeared naked in class, i wouldn’t look at her with lust, i would look away, due to respect.

however a clothed girl in class can make me lusty.

I think lust is not quite the term I’d use, but I would say I can get turned on over women naked or clothed or semi naked or semi clothed. It doesn’t take much to get me going. I’m so easy to arouse I remember one time looking at my wife’s ass when she was bent over a toilet bowl puking thinking hmm I’d like to tap that! She was clothed btw.

I think either revealing clothing or nudity will inspire lust in people – especially if they can’t get to have the person in question.

ETpro's avatar

Being nude is sure to get my attention, but great clothing, see through, diaphanous gowns with the light showing through, trashy lingerie, those all work. I’m not a picky eater. :-P

judochop's avatar

I don’t believe that it really matters so much if the woman is wearing clothes or not. I am probably going to lust after Meagen Fox more if she is naked and lust a little more after Drew Barrymore if she is clothed. I think it all depends on the way the woman carries herself and what she is wearing.

Axemusica's avatar

@judochop Megan Fox? really?? ack.

judochop's avatar

@Axemusica

I was just throwing things out there but why we are on the subject, Megan Fox is infact that, a fox.

Axemusica's avatar

@judochop I couldn’t disagree more, lol.

filmfann's avatar

Women can wear whatever they want. Guys are gonna lust for them.

judochop's avatar

@Axemusica
That is fine with me bro. Leaves one less guy trying to get to the front of the line.

A sexy woman in a dress or skirt will grab my attention a keep it longer than a naked hottie. The clothes tell me more about her than skin ever could., Nothing hotter than a long cool woman in a black dress!!

I lust after women in potato sacks, so I’m gonna go with both.

Axemusica's avatar

mmmmmmm potato sacks.

I read an interesting article on a nudist colony once. They saw full nudity as something natural and normal, but didn’t allow bikinis or sexy outfits because that was just for titillation. I guess it makes sense, because sexy clothes are cut in a certain way so that they flatter the wearer and excite the imagination. Nudity is just nudity. (And anyway one person was quoted as saying you’re more likely to find “wal mart bodies” there than playboy bodies. Hehe)

I think there’s literally an equation, where women will get the most attention from men if they’re baring 40% of their body.

filmfann's avatar

@fireinthepriory An equation? Like a Perv-Curve?

fireinthepriory's avatar

@filmfann Haha, basically. Someone really ought to plot it! Here is an article about it.

Saturated_Brain's avatar

I lust after women neither way.

phil196662's avatar

Agreed @delirium ! The right clothes and even multiple layers can be effective and fun for the Unwrapping…

plethora's avatar

@delirium Yessssssssss…my kinda woman

cyreb7's avatar

I don’t know why, but I am always very attracted to women waring a nice shade of blue or green.

I believe that first imprisons are very important, and that waring something nice or colorful (like plumage?) can give people a edge in that first split second. Clothes help distinguish people from the crowd, and helps makes them unique.

If you wonder what men are thinking, you’re over thinking. Men lust.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

Personally, I find that a sexily dressed woman is more appealing and induces more lust than a totally naked woman. Imagine a sheer, chiffon fabric delicately hiding a beautiful woman’s body. I think that’s more exciting than the fully unclothed body. The sheer fabric and the dress, adds to the body’s sensuality, and therefore its sexiness.

choreplay's avatar

Clothed, but not by choice, it’s just that we see you clothed more times than not, so if we could solve that problem I would be able to answer your question without any circumstantial bias and it be a unaffected answer, lol.
