Skin As An Element Of Attraction
Lepers were shunned in ancient times partly because they were a contagious group, but more so because they had a repulsive appearance. Any serious skin condition is a signal to the observer that the other person has a problem: whatever the problem may be, the signal is negative, and attraction is not sparked. While we are much more sophisticated today about skin disorders there remains an innate negative quality about unattractive skin. This is mainly because of the sexual nature of skin. Skin is the largest and most visible sex organ in the body. All sexual activity starts with an initial attraction between partners, and without mutual attraction nothing else happens, or even matters as far as sex goes. Attractiveness is the alpha and omega of all sexual activity, an attribute in which nature has invested vast resources.
Plants and animals that reproduce sexually require some type of attraction mechanism to draw the male and female together. These mechanisms are of four basic types: chemical, visual, auditory and tactile. The higher the life form the more mechanisms employed by the organism. Mammals for example often use all four mechanisms, while lower forms may use only one, or two. The female firefly uses visual light signals, while female moths use a sexual scent called a pheromone. In this series we are concerned about the visual signals produced by the skin, though the skin also produces chemical signals which play a role as well. Many surveys show that sexual turnoffs are related to defects in skin and hair. In humans sexual attraction is mainly visual so our topic is how to maximize your attractiveness through healthy skin.
Our appearance, how others see us, is the key message that we send each time we meet an individual, long before we say a single word. Looking attractive and feeling good about how we look sends a powerful, positive message. My aim is that you will have an appreciation of the incredible wonder, beauty, and excitement of life and how you can enjoy these gifts for many years. A few items I must set straight from the beginning.
I know of no better way to absolutely guarantee ugly skin than cigarette smoking. Smoking is a prime example of how people try to be happy by employing a destructive process. Ask any smoker why they smoke and they will all answer that "they enjoy it". I cannot believe that these people are ignorant of the fact that they are injuring their bodies. If you want to smoke, that is your business, but remember you will have poor health and ugly skin and that is not what this book is about. In a later chapter we present a discussion of just what cigarette smoking does to skin.
If you are overweight you will need to lose that weight if you are really seriously interested in being healthy and attractive. I know that the subject of "overweight" is controversial and fraught with political land mines. The facts are simple. The body is not designed to carry and service that extra burden, so it taxes all you physiological systems. Carrying extra weight has no merits, and is not beneficial by any stretch of the mind. It does matter how overweight you are and for how long, but the real key to successful weight control is understanding the reason you are overweight and correcting that reason. Here is one appearance guide to go by, whether you are a man or a woman, your waist must be smaller than your hips. If you cannot define a waist you are overweight and there are no exceptions. This is important for a number of reasons, one of which is the cardiovascular association, but equally important is the attraction process. To the opposite sex, a waist that is smaller than the hips is a powerful sexual attraction. We shall discuss why later.
