Guys doing manly work things are hotter than vacuuming or doing laundry, huh?
Dang - if I'd only realized, I would have had Mrs. Edge take a lot of pics of me as I built the base for my shed. Lots of dirt and stone and heavy lumber and power tools and sweat and muscle were involved.
All this time blogging about sexy men and I've left this pretty important point out?
Epic fail!
I need to do a Men at Work series. (No, not the group, although knowing me I'll tack a You Tube of them onto at least one post as a pun.)
And yes, we'll all appreciate some dirt, stone and lumber pictures next time. :)
p.s. dishes & vacuum can also be sexy....laundry, that's a stretch.
Is this the moment where I get to casually drop the fact I am about to start a major brick-laying project at work? :P
Laundry...eh...but naked ironing...
How about shoeing horses? I love me some blacksmith action...sweaty, sooty...
I've never understood the giving in from a position of weakness thing. Where's the challenge? Where's the satisfaction?
(On the other hand, if some big strong man was around my house right now, fixing the washing machine and plastering the hole where the rain comes in, and doing the million other things that I am too feeble to do (and getting very sweaty, because it is very hot and humid), I'd fall at his feet whimpering with gratefulness...)
IS -
No way! I am jealous. (You could take pictures on your cell, I'm just sayin')
Kate -
Ironing = turn off for me. Cooking = bricklaying.
Who knew my sexual on/off button was so closely tied to specific tasks? ;)
hugs, E

I think some people, men and women, are attracted to uber easy prey in their sexual partners. (It's hard to have this conversation without coming off like I'm placing value judgements on other people's sexual attraction wiring. Do not want.)
For *me*, I am wired to respond to strength (mental and/or physical) and confidence. You'd think that would get all mucked up with the whole dominant sexuality thing but it's worked out quite well, go figure.
'cept it's really hard to get good porn [pouts]

oh and p.s., this is *hot*. All you have to do is throw in "hot and sweaty" and I'm there.
Can I eat popcorn while we watch him work?
:)
My Beau is making me a set of 6' hardwood bookcases for my office. I went up to the shop to see how the job was coming yesterday, and there he was, covered in sweet-smelling sawdust and sweat, glue stains on his hands, disheveled, power tools and such everywhere. I picked up a large paint stirrer and had him drop trou for a few minutes of well-deserved spanking.
Yeah, it's a reward for us, not a punishment. ;-)
So I would put woodworking up there on the manly-jobs-that-turn-me-on list, especially if it involves large sheets of lumber I can't even help lift.
I can't wait to be looking at those bookcases every day at work and remembering the fine job he did making them. Yum!
So, let me understand this - I had an issue with the central air conditioner last night, and I did get pretty hot working on it. But the basement was cool, so I wasn't too sweaty.
Pr0n or not?
Oh, there was some leakage, which meant that I got pretty wet. There was also a Shop-Vac involved, which meant power tools. Sort of. And some "hands and knees on the ground" action, but it was mopping up water, not laying anything heavy.
Hmm. Not sounding particularly hot, except for the fixing part. You wimmins have the strangest rules.
For *me*, I am wired to respond to strength (mental and/or physical) and confidence.
I'm stealing this idea for a future post, E. Just so you know.
I just had a confab with Mrs. Edge. She's of the same opinion, although she hadn't really thought about it until I asked her.
Wall building = hot.
Stone moving = hot.
Laundry = meh. Once in a great while as a change of pace, maybe.
She's got things divided in her head as "mans' work" and "woman's work." Me half nekkid doing her idea of "man's work" is good. Me half-nekkid doing her idea of "woman's work" is just a little too close to me, for example, cross-dressing, which is a squick in her mind.
You have really given me some ideas here for some good topics.
Quesera -
Now *I'm* the one who is hot and sweaty. GUH. When are you going to start a blog, girl? You have m-a-t-e-r-i-a-l!
Alternatively....dinner invitation? You know, to look at the bookcases?
Hopefully,
E
Tom -
Here's what's interesting. I do not have a "man's work/women's work" conscious divide.
I've been fortunate to live a pretty gender label free existence, rejecting that I do X because it is "women's work" and the rejection actually *working*. Breadwinner in both marriages, least likely to do dishes in both, that's me.
(Although for some reason, in this marriage, I am stuck with the toilet cleaning and dog throw up patrol, which pisses me off, but not extensively because the expectation I cover this territory is out of kindness and not wimmins work.)
All said, I still don't sexualize *anybody* doing the dishes. Bricklaying? Woodwork? Manuel Labor? I'm there.
Huh.
Guess I am odd girl out then...
man doing work for/because of me of any kind = hawt.
It's in the 'doing it for/because of me' that creates the hawtness...
So Tom, the whole AC thing?
Yep...hawt!
