And Bonus Q: Who is your celebrity crush? Mine - Matt Damon.

What a fun question!!

Turn-on: My husband's entire upper body dressed in a tank top. Seriously, it's like Michelangelo sculpted him. Such pretty shoulders, arms, pecs, abs. *Sigh* When is he getting home from work?? Also, a great smile.

Turn-off: Helplessness. I love doing for my husband, but like to know that he can do for himself and our kids if need be. Helplessness is not a good look.

Celebrity crush: Matthew MaCaunahey, Adam Levine from Maroon 5.

answers from Dallas on

My turn-off is the same as yours. A man who is arrogant and talks too much does NOT appeal.

I also love your example of a turn-on. I love it when my husband plays with our kids. Nothing better than that!

My celebrity crush is and has always been Leonardo Dicaprio!

answers from Dallas on

Turn on: The little stuff. I love when I catch him looking at me smiling And when we are passing each other in the hall and he stops to hug and kiss me. I love when he is smiling and talking, giving me his undivided attention, and asking my opinion. Those things make me squirm! But it's all the big stuff he does throughout the day that allow me to be open to the little stuff. Like playing with the kids or holding them affectionately it really melts me. When I come home and the house is clean or a meal is ready. I love love love when he's sweaty from working hard. That's very sexy.

Turn Off: selfishness - whne he just strips and expects me to "serve him"

Celebrity crushes : Angelina Jolie, Tyrese, Matthew McGonahey

answers from Orlando on

Turns on: Well, this is going to sound awful but every time I hear my husband in boss like voice. No to me, but to other people. Example when he is teaching on line from home.
Turns off: Smells.
Crush: well this is going to sound even worst.
I like Ricky Martin (yes I know he is gay) how he looks but most because how down heart and his help to kids, he is so good overall.
The singer from Maroon 5, just because of his looks
AND (I really doubt about confessing)
Mickey Avalon! I know, he is awful, not even good looking, his music is offensive, he is so into drugs, he has everything I would hate in a men, I guess that is what makes him my crush? I know, he is like my dark side, lol

Turn offs (general population of men): too much cologne, ogling women, gym rats, men who drive BMW's (which really just goes along with arrogant), showing chest hair, men who wear jewelry of any kind other than a wedding band. Drugs, tattoos, piercings.
turn ons (my own husband): crying at sappy parts of movies, when he tells other people how much he loves something about me (my cooking...), the way he looks and smells before work with his dress shirts and pants.
Turn ons (general population): dads spending time with their kids, kind eyes, Crying during praise service, God fearing.

answers from New York on

Turn ons : when he cleans (I feel he is doing it for me, not because he cares if the house is clean), when he spends time with me, talking and listening to me.
Turn offs: when his hands are so rough (from carpentry, out door work without gloves) that I dont like when he touches me.... Use some hand lotion for crying out loud!

answers from Washington DC on

Turn off - All the usual, but I think the most unusual one is that I can't stand how my husband cuts his food into TEENY, TINY pieces! Tonight I made a salad and cut everything so tiny (think: chopped salad) and didn't even give him a knife. Dinner was good.

Turn on - Kissing my toes! You can't even imagine how often I wash my feet before bed, just in case :)

Celebrity Crush - you're gonna laugh..... Apolo Ohno - ahhhh
