Only When He


Have you ever noticed that certain people are only attractive in certain situations and that others could be doing anything and still be hot? Depending on how we experience attraction we might only be attracted to certain individuals under very specific circumstances. For instance, many people find particular actors attractive when they play certain roles, but are not attracted to the actors themselves. Try and make a list of three people, consisting of one of each of the following:

1) Someone who is always attractive.
2) Someone who is only contextually hot.
3) Someone who is usually attractive and made contextually unappealing.

Once you have this list, compare and contrast the differences between the three. Also, if specific instances don't come to mind, consider delving into broader archetypes of people (e.g., firemen, nurses, teachers). Do you find various stereotypes surfacing in your wants? If so, to what degree would you say the attraction is based on how you were socialized while growing up? How similar or dissimilar are your entries? In the sense of context, give ample consideration to what is erotic and what is definitely a turn-off. Make sure to weigh your own general sense of contextual eroticism and how much of a factor it is when forming the list.
