  • What is the Appeal of the Girl-On-Girl Kiss?


    Natalie and Mila. Scarlett and Penelope. Madonna and Britney.

    What do these women have in common? They're all straight women who engaged in a girl-on-girl kiss at some point..and the guys loved it. Which I really just don't get.

    I don't have anything against girl-on-girl kisses. Gay and making out with your girlfriend? BUG-ging? Girls experimenting with each other? Please, knock yourself out.

    What I don't understand is why straight men are so fascinated by them.

    Guy-on-guy kisses don't turn me on. I don't really feel any different about boys kissing than I do about boy-girl or boy-boy kissing. Great for you and all, but I'd rather do than watch, you know?

    In addition, many straight guys who I know that are turned on by girl-on-girl are actively grossed out by the thought of two men kissing in front of them. Which sounds pretty homophobic, for one thing. But if girl-on-girl is so hot, then shouldn't guy-on-guy be at the very least acceptable, even if it doesn't necessarily turn them on. 

    I've asked guys to explain the attraction of girl-on-girl, kissing and otherwise, to me. I've never received an actual answer. Mostly, they just go, "Um, I don't know. It's just hot." 

    Maybe this is explanationless, but I just don't get it. What's so hot about it?

    I have no idea. It curls the hair on my chinny chin chin and gives me the heebie jeebies. So you know it's got to be bad.

    For me, it is hot and turning me on b/c i can see TWO HOT girls, that's it! =P
    if i see boy vs girl, i would only care about the girl anyways, so why not girl vs girl?

    This is easy enough to explain.  If seeing one attractive person kiss is hot, seeing two attractive people kissing each other should compound the appeal in theory.  It's kind of a "more is better" line of thinking.  As for why some guys are grossed out by guy on guy kissing, I suspect the same principal applies but in reverse.  Guys usually do not find other guys attractive so two guys kissing probably isn't that appealing to them.  As for why women do not find guy on guy kissing appealing, I have no idea since I'm not a girl but it might just have to do with women not being as visual creatures as guys (generally speaking of course).

    A lot of girls do find guy-on-guy kissing sexy: A huge proportion of gay romance stories, novels and comics are produced by women.

    Indeed, it's not that hard to understand: For a straight man, women being sexual is hot. More women is, other things equal, more hot. Mutatis mutandis for other genders and sexual orientations.

  • TheNotoriousGOD@xanga

    idk, i think it's kind of gross to be honest.  i'd rather they both be on me than with each other.

  • ShirleyD@xanga

    I don't get it either. It's whatev's, if anything gross when done for attention. Gross due to the slut factor of doing it for show. 

  • P0RCELA1N_D0LL@xanga

    it isn't the kissing, but the boobies pressed against each other when they makeout that's hot if they're wearing clothes like in this example pic, it isn't hot. however, even if they have big boobies, I'd have to find them overall attractive, or else it'll gross me out. so ugly people of either gender making out doesn't appeal to me. I remember in high school, this geek couple wearing glasses would makeout during lunch time and it is often the nasty couples that makeout. I saw another couple on my college campus making out by the parking lot and ugh, ruin peoples' days. I find hot guys wearing loincloths hot, yet they don't wear them wear a loincloth, arch their eyebrows and go RAWRRRRR! that would turn me on jason momoa and david gandy french kissing in the nude do carry on

  • phuck_diz_shiz@xanga

    @ShirleyD@xanga - agree.
    Apparently those girls are "bar-sexual".  Straight girls kissing another straight girl at club / bar to get attention from straight men

  • zombieskinny@xanga

    It's hot, that's why. Some guys DON'T like it. Also, some girls like guy on guy kisses, so what's the big deal?

  • wretched_epiphany@xanga

    Girls like to say they do it for attention, but I guarantee you they mostly do it because they want to. If they don't want to think of themselves as being bi or gay.....they can say they wanted to get that guys attention and it justifies it for them.

  • CeylonTea93@xanga

    I have never really understood why guys are so.. fascinated by girls who kiss, or as they put it to me: Lesbians.


    I'm not a guy but if I was one I believe I'd be quite repelled by it, not repelled as I find it disgusting, but repelled as in "This girl is only interested in women, I'm a man, there is no chance for me in this game".
    Maybe it's something porn imprinted into their minds?
  • WaitingToShrug@xanga

    I used to be confused like you, but I think I've got it now. Straight guys don't want to be seeing a guy in the picture. 

    I'm not sure why it would be homophobic for a straight man to not want to watch gay men kissing. That's called sexual preference, and it's allowed, even for the straight male. 
  • Niiksknox@xanga

    Two attractive females making out is hot. Two attractive males making out is hot. Attractive people in general making out is hot. It is what it is.

  • tokyoexpressman@xanga

    Call me "weird" but I actually don't care/notice. If two attractive girls were kissing, I'd probably throw a glance over, but I wouldn't be goggle-eyed or acting like "Holy shit that's hot." Doesn't really seem all that out of the ordinary to me.

    Guess it depends more on whether it's just a kiss or full-on public face-eating. And that's only because I rarely see the latter; most people don't full on make-out in public* and when you do see it, you kind of do a double take.

    *Bars/clubs/parties/events with alcohol excluded

  • maniacsicko@xanga

    comparing guys watching girl-girl kiss with girl watching guy-guy kiss is like comparing guys watching girl's boob and girls watching guy's boob...   doesn't really make sense

    heck, guys can even being turned on by watching girls kissing a banana, so what's really not to get about anything..

  • lttlegel@lovelyish

    The only thing I can understand about this is the fact that most men fantasize about having a threesome. A guy sees a hot girl and thinks about having sex with her. But a guy sees two hot girls and fantasizes having sex with both of them.

    The funny part of this though is there aren't many guys who are actually going to get the threesome they want. Most guys have a hard enough time getting laid as it is.

    Women def are in charge of whether men get laid or not.

  • VampireOfSeduction@xanga

    "It's just hot" was the first thing that came to mind. I also appreciate watching two (attractive) men making out. But I'm a girl, so maybe I shouldn't be answering? My husband's answer would probably be, "four boobies, yea-yah".
    It's basic math. Hot + Hot = extra hot. lol

  • TheCellOfDougMoe@xanga

    It's a Republican thing, now that Mary Cheney married Heather Hoe.  That's why it's popular.

  • lenybobsyouruncle@xanga

    kk... so i have this idea, rather than getting one kitten why not get two? it is less than twice the cost for more than twice the adorableness.


    cute things look more perfect in more idyllic situations. having a cat or a girl is great, but having two represents companionship and a ton of other things including a beauty unaccessible to men,
  • babyxxxo@xanga

    In my Human Development/Psych Class, it was explained that men are easily aroused by sight whereas women prefer to sense the physical nature in order to experience arousal. 

  • petersss02@xanga
  • PocketfulOfDreams@xanga

    @babyxxxo@xanga - I was thinking something like that...that women just don't find watching other people kiss or porn that 'hot' in general, and that's why they don't care about two men kissing either.

  • Gentemann@xanga

    I am not sure either but perhaps "babyxxxo" has the best answer from her Psych class?
