I don't get to eat what I want all the time because I only have sooo much time in a day to devote to working out. So as much as I love to eat, I just don't have the time to burn off the calories.


That's the discipline. I respect others who have it, too.

Short answer, no.

Better answer , yes, I get turned on by someone who goes to the trouble of looking like me.

Just curious, are you male or female? Why don't you get to eat what you want?

Yuck. Is that you, Beavis and Butthead? That's a lot of ifs. If you are gay or bi, and if your body us the exact kind you are attracted to. As a bi woman I have never, ever gotten turned on by looking at myself. Ever. My body isn't horrid, but my self criticism of my body is probably at a similar level as most other women's. And I see my body every damn day. I find many types of women attractive, but think it's pretty normal not to be hot for one's self. That's why we look for partners.

If you are a guy and you get turned on looking at yourself in the mirror then you are gay,

I can't believe that you're that simple-minded.

No, being gay doesn't make you any more narcissistic than a straight person. There are plenty of straight people who are narcissistic who love looking at themselves and get turned on by looking at themselves.

Serious question: Do gay or bi people who have really hot bodies, and it is exactly the kind of body you find attractive, get turned on by looking at themselves in the mirror?
