Guys: What do you like about a girl's soft skin so much?

[notsosimple19]

I guess you could say my skin is really soft. I have a generally 'fair' appearance: light skin and eyes, and sort of dark blond hair. I have a Mediterranean heritage, so soft, slightly sun-kissed skin is the norm. I also like to put on lightly scented lotion after a shower most of the time (coconut, cucumber, vanilla, cherry blossom, etc), which I guess simply adds to both the softness and scent of a person's skin.

Anyway, it makes my boyfriend absolutely CRAZY. He loves to touch my skin, and always tells me that he loves it's softness. Don't get me wrong, I love it when he kisses me all over and 'appreciates' my body, but I just always wondered:

Is soft skin some sort of major turn on for any guy? Or does it seem like it's just particular to my boyfriend?

Either way, I'll continue to use it to my advantage, if you know what I mean! ;)

As a guy, yes, smooth skin on a woman is great. Accept the "appreciation". ;- ) As a massage therapist with 25 years experience, I'd rather massage someone with soft, well-maintained skin than someone in skin like a "sack of sandpaper" any day. If you are looking for smooth, relaxing massage, moisturize your skin for at least a couple of days before your visit. Take a warm shower/bath before your session and then smooth on a thin lotion of your choice an hour beforehand. Smoother skin overall means the therapist can keep his/her massage strokes more consistent, giving a more relaxing session. If you want to go strictly with "food quality" oils (as opposed to conventional lotions and creams), get a bottle of grapeseed oil. Hint: Don't confuse grapeseed with rapeseed (called canola for obvious marketing reasons) oil. Bonus: Grapeseed oil is mild enough to use on your baby, too, so when they suck on their toes or hands, they typically have no problems with it.

Soft skin is really amazing. There is nothing sexier than a woman who just gets out of the shower just the way they smell and everything I don't know what it is.

Soft skin relates to the hormone estrogen which plays a large role in the reproductive process of women. So pretty much men find soft skin attractive by instinct because it means that female is more likely able to successfully produce offspring.

Always nice to have a scientific perspective. Thanks!

this also gos for guys to, every girl I've been with has said, I have really soft skin like a babies bum, girls love it, what's not to love about soft skin?

[Godfatherman]

you put the lotion on...dont you like soft skin as well?

[notsosimple19]

It doesn't make a difference to me. Personally, I just like the scent.

My question was whether it makes a difference. Do all guys go crazy over it like he does, or is it just deemed as a nice, added bonus?

[toulouse]

i his skin harsh or soft. I like soft skin or smooth I call it so he doesn't think I'm saying he's a girl. but either way who would not like soft skin? rough skin is a definite turn off. it does not feel good to touch.

like, rough cloths or soft cloths. that's why fabric softner was invented... I think guys use it too-no?

[Godfatherman]

I don't use fabric softener...my clothes get pretty soft washing them as I bang them against the rocks down at the creek. ;)

[notsosimple19]
