Rather than get philosophical, I'm going to get personal.

Personally, I love being looked at whether it be a man or a woman.
Its fun to smile at somebody and have them smile back. Sometimes its
a fun trip to have somebody think of you as a piece of meat. But,
like anything else, if that's ALL a person is into, you have problems.

It makes me feel good. I like to smile back at the guys when they
look. I like it even better when women look because it means one of
two things (1) either she's not into men's bodies, but she found mine
unusually attractive or (2) she's really into men's bodies and reads
Playgirl all the time and still found me attractive. All the time I
am thinking: "Lady, eat your heart out!"

There's nothing wrong with being proud of one's body and keeping it in
shape so people will enjoy looking at it.  I will say it again, however,
that if a person is only hung (no pun intended) up on his/her body s/he is
sick sick sick.  It really gets boring after a while.  Your body is really
just a calling card, it gets you in the door, so to speak.  What I
personally really get off to if really getting into the other person's
space and really knowing and loving them on a spiritual level.  That's even
better than sex, and you don't get hung up on whether a person is a man or
a woman, because that is a body function and I'm talking mind to mind,
heart to heart, spirit to spirit.

So, you can't stand having a man lust after you, huh? Well, try this.
Just walk down the sidewalk and notice how make people CAN'T EVEN STAND
BEING CASUALLY LOOKED AT. You'd think they had a gun pointed at their
head.

So, I think the problem in this case lies with not with the lustor but
with the lustee.
