They’re a secondary sexual characteristic, so it seems like something that would get attention.

You just haven’t met anyone like my partner. She pauses movies and TV to point out how my neck “is sexier” than the actor’s. “Yours isn’t little and thin like his.”

“Thanks!”

She is definitely obsessed. Maybe not a fetish, but certainly a point of interest.

Somehow I got a chuckle about how clueless and also pleased you appear in this account. Probably something to do with your line spacing but it felt well told. Nice.

Yes, I’m clueless with regard to others liking or noticing me. My partner sees it and points it out for my benefit. Usually with, “Poor man, never knew he was hot until he met me!”

Everyone should be so lucky to be adored like I am now by my partner. And for things like, “your hands are perfect!”

“They… are? Thanks!”

Doesn’t have to be penetration. Grind your clit on there

I don’t think the person you replied to has a clit. You somehow didn’t understand what they wrote.

People who like feet want to play with them. Adams Apple could be similar. Source: watched feet vids.

Japanese porn spends a lot of time licking body parts. Source: watched Japanese porn.

It is, indirectly, a cause of a common fetish: a nice, deep, bass-filled voice. Lots of women appreciate that.

I used to play Counter Strike a lot, and I generally played with randoms. It feels weird (but in a nice way) the number of people who have told me how nice or attractive my voice is. Admittedly it was mostly guys, and I’m straight, but it’s still a good compliment to get. I did make a lot of female friends on there though, with me consistently playing with one group. I don’t know if this is because of my voice or because I just treated them normally, but the voice didn’t hurt.

… I don’t really know why I wrote this. I guess just as a general agreement women like rumbly voices, which I don’t think was needed. Oh well.

Complements are nice regardless of gender or orientation. Was flattering to be called cute by guys even if I wasn’t interested in them :)

I ended up dating a girl because she heard my voice on vent during a PUG raid in WoW. Was a mistake in the long run, but very flattering at the time.

I know this “seems” correct, but I’m curious if there’s actually a strong correlation between prominent adam’s apples and deep voices? In my experience, it’s not particularly strong. Plenty of guys with big adam’s apples don’t have deep voices and plenty of deep voiced men don’t have prominent adam’s apples.

To activate monkey neurons, it has to be an indicator of health.

As an example, large breasts indicate health, as malnourishment during adolescence tends to result in smaller breasts later on.

Muscles indicate health as well, so they tend to be considered attractive.

For non health related features, like a symmetrical face, those ones are the non sexual dimorphic characteristics, as those ones you care about transferring regardless of sex. Both men and women want a symmetrical face, basically.

So a large Adam’s apple is both a dimorphic feature and a non indicator of health, so its ignored.

But I like small breasts. Am I broken?

“Small” breasts typically are still large compared to a man’s chest.

There are other factors than size anyways, for any feature. For breasts as an example, symmetry, skin clarity, and firmness will also signal a healthy prospective mate.

“Small” breasts usually actually means “not sagging due to age”, as naturally speaking breasts, cheeks, and the neck of humans are common areas where sagging due to collagen levels can be witnessed in older age, so these are common cited areas of sexyal attraction.

So “small” breasts really just means “not old”, which is fairly normal to signal the health of a potentional sexual partner.

Ok smart guy, explain this: I like mature women, ass play, humiliation, and bondage too. Sometimes simultaneously! Take that, evolution.

Your genes code for symmetry. Symmetry in the resulting body indicates a healthy upbringing.
