Default Magic Mike

My wife’s libido has been pretty lame lately. Ok so my wife goes out for drinks with the girls and a to see this movie. About male strippers as you may know. She comes home saying it was fun and tells me who’s in it etc. She said it was like “girl porn”. At first I didn’t take the hint. It didn’t take her long to make it clear that her motor was running. She mentioned it was great because they did not have close up of men’s stuff, etc. and it had some plot. In short order we had some good lovin’. She was hot and bothered before we got started.

This does not make me jealous at all. I feel like “don’t care where you get your appetite as long as you come home to eat…” Is there material out there we could both watch together that would mirror this sort of thing?

I guess I have to have a conversation with her more about this to see what viewing she may like to see? Have any women out there found material out there that they find appealing?

I'm going to say no.

I saw it, and while I know women that absolutely hated it or found it disgusting or whatever, I liked it. I've seen male strippers live, and let me tell you, THAT grossed me out. Something about it on screen made it more appealing to me.

It wasn't like porn. It was more subtle, like your wife said. Looking at hot boys dancing (Mike specifically for me) was a turn on. Would I want to start watching porn with my husband now because of it? No not really. It's different.

And FWIW, my honey benefitted from my outing. It charged me up too.

Have not seen Magic Mike but what I would consider 'girl porn' are:

Eyes Wide Shut

I went to the movies monday night to see the last showing of Savages. We were early..

I cannot tell you how hilarious it was watching the hoards of women coming out of the theater giggling. seriously, if I was going to pay to see a stripper dance, he's at least going to be in real life I mean, at least THAT is truly giggle worthy.

I don't understand why people need outside stimulation like magic mike and other things to get their motor running for their partner.how about having a striptease done by your partner? fun and sexy

Personally,I'd be insulted if it took a movie full of hot women/hot men to get my partner to feel in the mood for me.

Some women are turned by the lead character and the plot in a softcore movie.
People have many different fantasies tha gets them going.
My wife likes some softcore porn.I like some of it too,but for it to get my blood flowing the photography and the models have to be really,really good.
We used to have some but I can't remember the titles right now .
But they were nice.
They were a great addition back then.
What might work for your wife today may nor work for her tomorrow.
The key is to be tuned sexually with her and you will always reap the benefits.

And if your spouse told you that you couldn't watch anything with half-naked women in it, you would be watching the Disney channel and nothing else.

Cool Re: Magic Mike

I was actually drafted and went with the wife. The movie was horrible, no plot, boring and lame, but the magic guy sure knew how to dance, also liked the 3 some scene, that was hot. I was happy to see 2 other guys there with wife’s, but what was off, there were 2 single guys sitting by themselves, I found this odd, kept waiting for their partners. They never came, I then read in the NYtimes an article how magic mike was the hottest movie for gay men, I never saw that coming. Anyway to the point, women love any material that isn’t porn that gets them hot, but they won’t tell you. My wife loved Game of Thrones and she always jumped me after it was over, I never got it until I watched it with her one day, now it’s our favorite. But the clincher for me was the shades of grey books, I bought them on a whim for her and she devoured all 3 in like 3 weeks. She had not heard about them before I brought them home, ire ad about them on cnn. She is conservative and religious, but did it bring the beast out. She has really opened up, so I would suggest you do the same thing. My wife doesn’t like porn and won’t watch it, but the soft stuff and the books, its like super porn for her.

chub!chy brings out a really good point. My wife has admitted to not only being turned on by softcore that she admitted to watching solo when she was single but also to being somewhat turned on by women. She will only indulge in using a vibrator upon my practically insisting and/or the involvement of alcohol.

There have been studies done that have measured responsed to women and men to erotica and measured arousal. They found women were equally aroused by many types of porn even if they reported otherwise. I think this is less true of the younger generation who grew up with vibes and porn being more acceptable. I am 47 and can remember the only place you could buy a sex toys or porn was in a shady area of a city. Now Brookstones sells vibrators and porn is a mouseclick away.

Sadly it is unfortunate that many women are still shacked by upbringings that make them shame their sexuality or at the very least to not be comfortable with exploring things that may feel good. As somewhat of a feminist my wife rejects the notion that her inhibitions are based on these things. Her actions clearly speak volumes to the contrary.

I even noticed that she openly tells my son and daughter not to touch themselves (genitals). I mean even if you don't remember the words as an adult you will still not feel OK about it. Even if sex and the city charicters tell you a vibrator is ok. See my point.

I am thrilled that my wife admitted to being aroused. I don't share the idea spouses should only be aroused by eachother. the human body (male and female) is beautiful and arousing. Having done a fair amount of travel in europe i have found this not to be the case. People there accept and embrace sex and don't throw it into some dark closet making people feel guilty about wanting to explore.

I would love to hear from women who have "gotten over" these inhibitions.

I hope all of you have a great day and thanks for all of your sharing.
