For Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d give the men of ShapeShifter their say, since I gave some of the women a chance to speak at Hanukkah. I asked them what sorts of things they consider to be turn-ons. Here’s what they had to say: 1. Mitchell: Watching Kerri put in or take out her earrings. There’s just something about that little head-tilt she does and the way her eyes go all soft and fuzzy… 2. Trevor: Save me before I puke, will ya? For me, it’s a quick flash from the second row. [Ed — Trevor ducks as Mitchell takes a swipe at the back of his head. Eric shakes his head in disgust.] 3. Eric: A letter from one of the girls I’ve been involved with. Someone who takes the time to write and then figure out where we’ll be and get it to the right spot at the right time. It shows she cares, and a girl who cares is a turn-on. 4. Daniel: Long, painted, manicured nails– 5. Mitchell: A woman who’s comfortable naked– 6. Daniel: and who has jet-black hair that’s long, cut perfectly even at the bottom, moves in a single sheet, and turns blue in certain lights… 7. Eric: Speaking of Val, a sincere woman’s a turn on. [Ed — as Trevor opens his mouth, Mitchell growls and balls his hand into a fist. Trevor suddenly yawns.] 8. Mitchell: So’s chocolate sauce, many flavors of schnapps, and someone who doesn’t mind a bit of a mess. 9. Mitchell: Speaking of normal, I’ve yet to meet the man who isn’t turned on watching a woman unzip the back of her dress. [Ed — band nods and licks their lips.] 10. Eric: Except for the ones who pick their hair up off their necks and turn their backs to you, so you can unzip for them. Slowly. [Ed — again, Mitchell takes a swipe at the back of Trevor’s head. It’s a harder blow this time and Trevor mouths the word “Ow.”] 11. Daniel: Heels. The higher, the better. [Ed — band nods in knowing agreement.] 12. Trevor: Short skirts that you can see up when they sit. 13. Trevor: Enough of this shit already! The ultimate turn-on is a woman, plain and simple. They’re built for it, all tits and curves and giggles and all the other good noises they make and the way they squirm! It’s a woman’s sole purpose in life to turn us on, and it’s our sole purpose in life to try out every single one of them, in every single way, position, and style possible. No matter what they do, they turn us on. That’s their job, and that’s all there is to it. I hope you’re all busy reading for the Debut a Debut contest — we open for entries on Monday. I am eager to see what you guys have chosen!!! If you can’t enter this time, stay tuned for a fun summer contest, as well as a plan to do another Debut a Debut next year.

Are there really any women who feel comfortable without clothes? I enjoy these lists about your characters. BR/BR/Thanks for visiting my list. You have to visit the Vanderbilt Estate in Ashville. You simply cannot believe that people really lived like that. There aren’t that many of the Vanderbilt homes left and I think it’s great this particular one has survived.

I like the way they interact with each other. I have to agree with cheesygiraffe, I know alot of men who think sexy is a nice butt in tight jeans. BR/BR/Thanks for visiting me! Nice to know you are “average”

Oh I wanted to say “Yeah Trevor!†(#2) but then I’m not so sure after that ‘purpose speech’ (#13) although … BR/Certainly not some romantic shit. OK I like candles but I like much more melting wax *whistle*

Trevor sounds like my brother (before marraige). Total typical guy talk. You’ve got them down to a “T”. Most guys know exactly what they want and these guys are no different. Great TT!

Another fun list! And I KNOW it’s fiction, cause I don’t know any real women who are comfortable without clothes – not sober ones anyway! Thanks for visiting my blog and for the great comment!

I love how the characters talk with one another. And I have to agree that a woman who is comfortable naked is a huge turn-on. Confidence is what it is all about.BR/BR/For me, if a man isn’t confident (naked or not) that just detracts from his other attributes.BR/BR/Happy TT and thanks for visiting mine!BR/BR/P.S.BR/Totally. Comfortable. Naked.BR/’Nuff said.
