Attraction

i am fascinated by, and often surprised by, the people I am attracted to. First, just the fact attractions come in various types, such as appreciation or envy of physical attributes. I may have a more emotional attraction to people I get to know more about. The type of attraction that mystifies me most is sexual.

I have learned over the years there is no rhyme, reason, commonalities, or logic to the types of people I am sexually attracted to. After more than 20 years of marriage I am still highly attracted to my wife. In fact, my attraction is stronger because of our history. She has somehow managed to defy the odds and maintain her figure after having our three kids, but far more important to me is her unconditional love and seeing the type of person she is with everyone else she encounters.

As many here know, I have a sexual relationship with my best friend Jay. While he is handsome, well built, and well hung, I think my biggest attraction with him is our emotional bond and his trust in me to fulfill his sexual needs, while also building upon our already strong friendship.

Here at LPSG, there are man guys I am sexually attracted to. That doesn't mean I have any intention of having sex with them. I get plenty of sex from my wife, Jay, and the special relationship between me and my own body, and that one runs deep. My sexual attractions here on this site cause pre-cum, sometimes I get a semi, and at times I even get a raging hardon. I have to take action to bring myself out of my state of horniness when that occurs.

In my first sentence I said I am surprised by my attractions, I am attracted to guys who good looking or not, well built or not, well hung or not, hairy or not, etc. The race of the person or color of their skin is irrelevant. Anything goes.

With some of the men here my attraction is more lust-filled than it is with others. I have some fantasies about what I want to do sexually with them and sometimes think about a guy from here when I masturbate. There are some guys here who I consider to be out of my league, for one reason or another, but I am proven wrong sometimes by their messages to me. Attractions are difficult to understand but wonderful to experience.

I think it is healthy to allow myself to have all types of attractions, and to have them without guilt. I am not going to share which men here I am attracted to, but if I lined up a few pix of each guy here to show you, you would likely be confused by the variety.
I am highly attracted to confidence, but there have been a couple guys here who I am attracted to because they seem more vulnerable and I want to support them and build them up.

Can you relate to this or does attraction work differently for you?

Interesting post, 6x6!
I feel like I have 3 kinds of attractions:
Physical (i.e.lust)
Intellectual
Emotional

My physical attraction to a guy is not a mystery to me. These are the attributes that get me excited;
* Square muscular chest, if there's also fur and a slim waist I'm definitely hooked.
* Square chin with either a beard or a cleft chin and strong jaw.
* Dark complexion: I am attracted to white European types, but black, Hispanic, native American, Arab or olive/Mediterranean complexions do it best for me.
* Muscular legs and glutes

Intellectual: I'm much more likely to start a conversation on line, either at LPSG or other apps/sites, if I know there are mutual interests between me and the other guy.

Emotional: This is hardest to gauge in advance,but if a guy attracts me physically and intellectually and then I find emotional chemistry I will be head over heels.
 
Perhaps, we should measure amount of attraction by our understanding of love.

I believe that I need to love myself before I can love anyone else. This is a lesson in progress that becomes complicated by those that aren't on the same educational program.
 
The bigger and deeper the connection I have with someone the more I love them in the various types of love that exist. When that some one just happens to be a man and even remotely attractive 5/10 maybe less, I see them differently. Some of the people I have that were the most beautiful people, others told me I was a fool for thinking so and that I could do better. I feelings didn’t change and neither did the way I saw them. It’s funny how friendship love and romantic love tend to go hand and hand, and feed off of each other.
 
Attraction is a kind of trigger, at least for me. It comes in various flavors I guess. There is a baseline kind of attraction like when going down the grocery aisle something jumps out at me that I had no intention of getting (maybe never even heard of) and suddenly, a very strong desire gets triggered. Packaging perhaps. Whatever. I have learned to not put much store in this flavor of attraction. As real as It is in the moment, this craving lacks the legs to get me to a better place and fulfillment.

There is another though...the attraction that hits me like a truck. It literally takes the wind out of me. That verse form the Van Halen song 'Love Walks In' captures it perfectly:

And then you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in


The force of the attraction actually produces the dual feelings of desperation to deepen the connection at all costs and fear coupled with a desire to turn away. Setting up an internal struggle between wanting to embrace and wishing to turn back time and never have met or seen the person. For in that moment even the rosiest and best outcomes seem to end with inevitable pain of parting. THAT is the attraction I have pursued. For even in the worst of cases, rejection and dejection have brought new life and brought the best out of me.

Oh and one more thing...the term 'out of my league'...I relate to. The flavor of attraction I described has NEVER come with a sense of my being worthy. That is the point. I think the power of the attraction is very much wired to a desire to be better.
