Attractive?

[bland alterego]

Purposely vague, use your judgement.


Oh, keep it clean, Please.

[Troy McClure]

Both are attractive in their own, totally separate way. And, they don't have to be mutually exclusive.

[Wolverine]

Ditto Troy.

Innocence is untested, experience is proven. From my experience, there was nothing worth remembering about innocence. :wink:

[Quasi]

Innocence can be very attractive....but the experienced are more fun in action :o

I would guess that the results would vary by gender! :P

You are kidding aren't you? :)

No satisfaction from conquering the innocent can parallel the satisfaction that comes with experience. jmho

Agreed. Although I was thinking more on the lines of "fumbling while" not "conquering the." But honesty was never the best policy. :wink:

[bland alterego]

Well said, adip.

[Maxine]

Well said, adip.
Agreed :D

[Captain America]

Ditto Troy.

[Troy McClure]

Looks like the final result is that innocence wins. I am surprised.

[Quasi]

I'm surprised too....there weren't as many eloquent explanations of why innocence would be more attractive.

Oh, that's true. Let me give it a shot....

First - the definition of "innocence" was deliberately left vague. If you take innocence to imply simply a lack of experience, then I would say it is wonderful to know that a person you are attracted to chose to wait to be with people they really cared about and connected with rather than to be with everybody that felt good at the time. So, you are somebody special in their life, rather than just another 'notch in their bedpost'. And, when it comes down to sex, rather than just doing it, you can experiment and figure out what you like to do together. And, if you are open to talking, and don't mind finding a couple of things that don't work (and laughing together about it! :P ), it can be pretty special.

My definition of "innocence" is a little bit different, and I will defend the attractiveness of that later, when I get some free time....

[Troy McClure]

Slow day at work today...

The ideal (imho) is to be with somebody who is experienced enough, but has that same"attitude of innocence" - that is, some people, regardless of their experience, still desire to connect with the person they are sleeping with, and want a special person in their life, more than just a warm body that knows how to hit all the buttons. The innocence of youth, or whatever you want to call it, where you are still looking for warmth and caring and still believe that it's "making love" and not just "sex", and that it can be just as good to cuddle under the sheets with somebody who you care about as it is to get naked is very desirable, just as desirable as experience. And, some people have both, and that's perfection, in my book.

[Pi Man]

awwww a true romantic; a man after my own heart.

*aHEM*

i mean, um.... catch that bears game last night? real hard hitting, great passing game. yeah.

yeah - innoncence rocks. -- ditto troy. something so much more betterer about being appreciated and stuff.

[Retired Bookworm]

I'm surprised too....there weren't as many eloquent explanations of why innocence would be more attractive.

That's because those of us who recognize the beauty of experience enjoy that beauty with a passion. :D
