Are women turned on visually?

I can´t talk for other women but for me it does a lot. But the visual aspect does a lot for me, but for me, the number one is smell, especially when it´s musk. The guy could be ugly as sin, if he smells of musks I´m all over him(whether he wants to or not:p)

I like visual stimulation but not so much of the porn kind. My boyfriend looks sexy clothed or naked. I'd take naked any day! We don't do the million candles thing, just him looking ready to go is all I need!

I have read some erotic literature before, most of it makes me giggle!! :rolleyes:

Although sometimes I don't even need visual stimulation, sometimes if he brushes his hand down my spine, or across my bum I'm like With him he loves his ear nibbled, his neck kissed or his thigh rubbed. 0-hard in 2 seconds!

Of course women respond to visual stimuli - if you can be moved to laugh, cry, or even be indifferent by visual material then you can be aroused as well but it does not mean every woman will react the same way to a visual image. I've stood in front of paintings that make me smile or even laugh out loud while I've seen people walk up to the same image and start crying.

Sight is one of our weaker senses in some regard as we use it more out of the five. Touch as well can be a somewhat deaden sense [just touch something textured with the hand you write with and then touch the same surface again with your other hand and notice the massive difference in feeling you get from each hand] Smell, taste and sound tend to have a bigger emotional impact on us [and by us I mean humans not just women] so evoking a strong emotional reaction based purely on sight and nothing else can be harder then using a combination of sight and another sense.

Oddly for somereason I was looking at a documentry about womens sexuality and one study they had on it showed that women were stimulated by anything sexual they saw but their brains weren't. If that makes sense.

So to be honest the answer is yes and no!


If anyone wants to see it it's called The Truth About Female Desire, it's a ch4 doc, it's actually fairly good.

I don't think I am turned on visually. I never watch porn and while I might catch a glimpse of my boyfriend naked and think he has a nice body or something, I just wouldn't suddenly become aroused.

I need more than just visuals, I think. I'm not talking candles and things, a text message with the right words would do it for example.

I don't want to go all Freudian on this thread, but I seriously think we underestimate the sense of smell when it comes to sexual arousal. I've gone on dates with guys who have ticked everybox but when I lean into kiss them, their scent just doesn't attract me in anyway.
I was seeing one guy for a while and every time I was around him it just drove me into this sexual frenzy. I'm sure it was nothing to do with his looks and everything to do with his scent.

It's sad that society demands we mask and change our own natural scent, as scent is as just as powerful as visual when it comes to turning people on.
