" And when it comes to enjoying what happens in the bedroom, or anywhere else, there is no correlation whatsoever between conventional attractiveness and how good the sex is. Since so much of sex is psychological, a 14 year old boy might feel differently about that. "
Its worth noting, Eljay, that for men, sexual arousal is much more due to visual stimuli then for women.

I think enough men have posted that they don't use physical appearance as a sole/primary measure of attractiveness that that's too much of a blanket statement, Paul. Or, rather, I would say that when you are attracted to someone, they look good, and are visually stimulating, even if they do not necessarily conform to the conventional definitions of attractivness. Regardless, I was trying to take that into account with the last sentance you quoted, about so much of it being psychological. Sexual arousal seems to happen primarily in the head, whether that's from visual stimuli or wit and charming conversation.

It might be worth noting at this junction that I don't consider the males that post here (ir the females, for that matter) to be an accurate cross-section of humanity. Our common interest - the works of OSC - requires a certain base level of perception and introspection to enjoy and I suspect that skews our statistical universe here.
In short, just because the guys here judge on much more than beauty doesn't mean that the majority of guys elsewhere don't.
