Not a dumb question at all! You can be turned on in the mirror regardless of your sexual orientation. 5 entries found for narcissism. nar·cis·sism (n.) Excessive love or admiration of oneself.

If you think you look good and look in the mirror, of course you'll get turned on! - no matter what your sexual prefrence is!
Narcissism is a personality disorder. It does answer the question though. All humans are narcissistic to some degree, so I guess if you get turned on is directly proportional to how narcissistic you are and how horny you are? You can be narcissistic and not have it as a personality disorder, you have to be really narcissistic to have it as a personality disorder (it has to be bad, but its actually really common). I had no idea the two were related.
Sometimes I look in the mirror and think I look attractive, (not very often), but I do not get turned on by looking at myself. Kind of weird.
. simple answer: yes. When I was younger, in my teens, I would stand naked in front of the mirror and try to comb my hair in a pretty way. And I would wonder if a man would ever find me sexually attractive? What would he do? Would he stroke my nipples like this? Would he squeeze my thighs, so? And but, I would do that imagining it was a man doing it to me and that I was doing it to a man. Would he think I was beautiful? It was pretend. I wasn't making love to myself, per say, I was pretending it was somebody else. I don't know how ya'll masturbate, but that's what I do. Even now, when I am laying in bed, I pretend in my mind that it's somebody else's hand. Getting turned on? Well, I will admit that I'm into tan lines. I know, that's so gay and typical, but I don't know where it comes from. Maybe being a kid at the local swimming pool where the studs would undress and shower and I would see the tan line. It's a fetish I have, I know. I don't lay out in the sun anymore, myself. But, I mean, I've been known to buy my boyfriend a speedo and, you know, ask him to lay out in the sun with it on, because the tan line is such a boner maker for me. I don't care if it's a wrinkled old 90 year old man, I'm gunna look and probably get hard, if he has a tan line. Like I said, I got it bad. Nudists don't do it for me at all! So, yeah, back when I was doing the sun worshipping thing and working out more, I would come home and shower to wash off the oil and I would get so turned on flexing and looking at my own tan lines. I didn't pretend that it was somebody else's hand jerking me off. I was totally getting off on my own skin. I suppose you think that's way gay too? .
That's interesting. It may be odd, but I almost never picture myself in my sexual fantasies. Usually I think about a sexual action being performed on somebody else... Haha...tan lines are something I never even think about. I don't usually give attention to detail like that...
