Brief Thoughts on Beauty and Expectations

(Editor's note: This post initially appeared on my Tumblr. But since they decided to kill that site by removing erotica, porn, etc. I just decided to move a couple of my commentary pieces here.)

As an solid, hardcore introvert, I find people watching at remove to be a fascinating hobby. And the amateur sociologist in me has been pondering this conundrum recently:

The expectation of an attractive person being good in bed is somewhat paradoxical, no?

The theory is that we are usually attracted to others by what we see first; usually we have to be interested in what we see in order to engage. As a 5 on a scale of 1-10 I concede that I am guilty of this every damn day. And I am really not in a position to judge.

(I'm probably being generous in calling myself a 5 as well.)

Anyway, what I wonder, though, is how often does the rating on appearance match up with the ability to actually satisfy a partner in bed.

Like, we drool over women (or men, for those who swing that way) all the time that might be gorgeous/handsome...but how disappointed would we actually be if we got them into bed and found out that they were horrible?
