Can Homosexuals turn themselves on?

Can Homosexuals turn themselves on?
I was just wondering this yesterday. It seems to me that if a gay man is turnedon by other men, his own body might turn him on. I can't speak professionally, but I can't help wondering.

Seriously, Setzer, you've never masturbated? And if so, does that mean you're gay?

YES! I can and do get turned on by my own body to answer that question.Darth Pounder wrote:Does add a new meaning to "Go fuck yourself". but no i've never found myself attractive thats why i was amazed when a sexy guy like Einy, who is hung like fecking redwood, said i was cute.
WTF? How do you know I'm hung besides my statement in the Organ size thread-- oh yeah I sent you that naked pic. Oops my bad... BTW thank you for the compliments.

So the gay guys in this forum has some kind of sub-culture of a black trade going around that I was just made aware through a slip of the tongue.

Re: Can Homosexuals turn themselves on?
Yes, it's possible, it's called Narcissism. Straight men also can have it. Maybe women, I'm not sure.Setzer wrote:I was just wondering this yesterday. It seems to me that if a gay man is turnedon by other men, his own body might turn him on. I can't speak professionally, but I can't help wondering.
I don't think sexual orientation has anything to do with it.

I don't think the incest taboo would apply, because it seems you have to have grown up around a person in order for the taboo to work (there was some study somewhere that said siblings separated at birth were just as likely to be attacted to each other as to anyone else, while unrelated children raised in the same house had some form of the incest taboo). Since you don't count as "someone else", you wouldn't feel the same sort of revulsion looking at yourself in the mirror as you would with, say, your brother.
That being said, I could be talking out of my ass. Since I'm into chicks, it's a moot point for me anyway.

Just to add something here; I have heard the term 'narcissexual' tossed about by psychologists before. I believe that there is a mental or emotional condition that causes people to fall in love with themselves, or to prefer only self-sexual-gratification to the company of others.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.
Now, I might be talking about rodents here - a year later all my sociobiology is smushed up in my head - but I think that it works both ways - unrelated people who grew up together are unattracted to each other, but so are sibligs raised separately - it's a pheromone thing.RedImperator wrote:I don't think the incest taboo would apply, because it seems you have to have grown up around a person in order for the taboo to work (there was some study somewhere that said siblings separated at birth were just as likely to be attacted to each other as to anyone else, while unrelated children raised in the same house had some form of the incest taboo).
There's definitely a hormone that women only find sexy if it's produced by a version of that gene they don't have - i.e. produced by someone probably unrelated. however, the detection of this is thrown off by hormones, so anyone who met their girl while she was on the Pill, Beware! - when you decide to try for kids she might stop fancying you!

Which explains why so many people end up screwing their siblings, oh wait..Now, I might be talking about rodents here - a year later all my sociobiology is smushed up in my head - but I think that it works both ways - unrelated people who grew up together are unattracted to each other, but so are sibligs raised separately - it's a pheromone thing.
