Body exposure has become more acceptable and there is something to celebrate in comfort with ourselves. But I wonder what portion of arousal actually comes from seeing the human body revealed or overtly exposed, and what portion (if any) comes from the suggestion, the enticement. Which is more provocative, concealment or exposure?

concealment, i would rather be attracted to a guy with his clothes on as unless you live in a nudist village thats the way your mainly going to see him.
And the other reason i prefer concealment is that more is left to the imagination and makes you want to know more

Arguements can be made for both sides. In Japan, Geisha are found to be very sexy & seductive yet are always completely covered by layers of clothing. Strippers & burlesque are also very sexy at exposing thier bodies. The human body (male & female) has been a subject of art & erotica for centuries ( sculpture, painting, photography, etc.)

I have to say that the biggest sex organ is the brain; therefore, what we come up with in our imaginations is going to tantalize us far more than reality. Seeing complete nudity will remove our ability to imagine, and thus not be nearly as provocative as what we can come up with in our warped little minds.

even tho i aint a boob man, i strongly think more women should pose topless, POF should re-think their ancient rules and allow women to pose bra less.

its only fair, in these PC days if guys can pose topless then its only right the girls should have a go at it.

its not fair also to deprive ladies of something that is acceptable for men to do without fuss.

From a male perspective, I can guarantee that, generally speaking, the more you show, the more attention you're going to get. Men are simply more turned on when we can see the goods.

I would think partial exposure would be sexiest of all...just enough to tantalize yet enough mystery to make one want more!

The postings so far are an interesting mix. I agree with Render, that the brain is the biggest sex organ. And while I appreciate compactdisc’s perspective, I could argue that part of the reason why we don’t get turned on automatically when we see a man with his top off is because we do see men without shirts, all of the time, and so are desensitized from that common exposure. Wouldn’t the same thing occur if we saw women’s breasts daily in non-intimate settings?

Women find the "partial" attractive, where men find the "exposure" attractive. Women think the sexy part of the striptease is the "tease" where men are turned on by the "strip". In a sexual experience, men are focused on the "sexual" while women are focused on the "experience". So teach your guy to tease you and just get down to business for him and everyone's happy.

Friends, ladies, country girls, show me your pipic. It's okay to show something but not too much, total nudity is not sexy. There is no mystery in it.

Concealing - with a little hint of exposure - left to the imagination - on someone with a cool confidence and a sexy aura - is amazing and oh so tantalizing!

I love the "hinted exposure". I'm not a fan of the porn that just spreads it open and shoves it in your face. I like when things are almost showing, or the modest cover up to tease you.

I remember watching the Heavy Metal movie, and I had to step away at the end for the phone, and I came back and rewound it, it was going through the scene where the girl is undressing to ride her large bird thing, and I found the "redressing" to be quite erotic.

depends on the situation.

plus, i got xray vision

plus, love to rip (read take) something off

but, if naked, i guess i can always rub something on

LOL

joking aside, as long as i get clues of what the body looks like, u r as good as naked to me.

LOL

but yes, its the WAY u act not WHAT u wear that makes one sexy, whether w or w/o clothes. fpor example: if u r looking at me w that sultry 'i could eat u alive' look, clothes or no clothes, i already see red

LOL

40 years later and still wonderfully delicious… the “Theiss Theory of Titillation”, credited to William Ware Thiess, the costume designer of the original Star Trek series: “The degree to which a costume is considered sexy is directly proportional to how much it looks like it is about to fall off”.

I enjoy seeing fully clothed girls. I dunno, maybe its just me, but a cute girl in nice fitting jeans and a winter coat is very attractive, or running shorts and a t-shirt, khakis and a button-down shirt etc... it's just my preference. Yeah revealing clothing will get you more attention, but the wrong (or maybe right?) type of attention. I guess it's all about self-respect, girls can look really good without need to degrade themself. I also like no to minimal makeup let the beauty shine :) Modest is hottest is how the saying goes, right? :)

well it depends on the girl and the situation/location/atmosphere. Its not what you wear, but how you wear it.

Overall though seeing a girl naked like say on a nudist beach isn't sexy. Its just a naked person.

Bingo! She wins the Kewpie doll! :)

Give me a woman who can be a lady in public, yet let me know what could happen in private any day. She'll actually earn the opportunity to prove it :)

I prefer to leave a little mystery, why show it all let them use their imagination Oh wait !!! do men actually use their imagination anymore? or is that a old fashioned notion.

body exposure is not acceptable in my mind still and i find it kinda gross... i don't fall for guys who show of or show a lot of skin...i like them to be concealing instead cause no one has a reason to be looking at them...

well i suppose total nudity could be a bit of a turn off for some, perhaps guys instead of being shirtless should pose with just a few buttons undone to reveal a bit of chest to get the ladies wet.

iam shirtless in my pics, so maybe i should put a shirt on with maybe 3 or 4 buttons undone to just about reveal my hairy chest if thats what turns women on more rather than shirtless guys.

yeah i will go down the " tease " path rather than the blatant shirtless pics.

So that pose is supposed to be a tease or a turn on?

^^^^

As with many things, less is more.

Pinup girls from the 40's perfected the art of being just sexy enough to not be boring.
