I have often wondered why it is so much more fun to watch a female singer or musician than a male singer or (solo) musician and I mean besides the fact a woman is anyhow more fun to watch than a man when you are a heterosexual man: for some reason a female performer adds some magic to it. Is it because I am a sexist who don't expect a woman to give a very good performance, so when she does I am extra enthusiast (like we are also extra enthusiast to see a child prodigy perform)? Or is there something erotic going on: playing music with much passion (with all the little sensual movements of the body and the focused mystic eyes) is kin to dancing and like the tyrant who let the woman live if she makes him soft by delivering a sensual dance a musician who plays passionfully makes us soft? Or am I just a pervert and you decent guys don't know what I am talking about? And if you are a little perverted too, does the same thing apply for women: do they find a great performance by a man erotic?
Do you think a female singer or solo performer is erotic?

It's a matter of perspective I suppose. One could consider a "sung" orgasm to be a pure form of singing/music. Others would certainly not consider that to be. Perhaps it's too overtly erotic to be considered (an orgasm would be erotic by definition I suppose). Nonetheless, it is music performed by a female that is very erotic.

I'm somewhat surprised by your response. Would you find a singer who cannot convey eroticism while singing - say - Carmen to have successfully performed the part? I don't mean she can only succeed if she's a size 2, but certainly she must be able to display sexuality with her voice and physical performance?
This is quite different from Yuja Wang whose beauty, I'm sure, sells tickets, but is not related to her artistry.
If for example I watch a video with singers I admire and they look a little older then the composer intended I don't have any problems with it.
That's why I stated that answer, however If I see Mrs Fleming ( sorry) doing Thais, she's stunning but the main thing is her singing capability.
This is sooo HOT... Maximus Eroticus!You're so right

Haha I suppose, but to make a poll for it? I think just listening to Emma Kirby's voice is enough--obviously she's a bit, er, older now. . . LOL
As long as you not get to carried away .....

Speaking from a man's perspective. Well, from my perspective, anyway.
They say that men's visual attraction to women has something to do with symmetry. I think it the other way, that the attraction to women came first, (those who didn't, were not able to replicate their DNA), and appreciating symmetry, now a part of the brain wiring, results in symmetry itself having aesthetic appeal even out of a strictly procreative context.
So maybe the same is true with music. Not the sounds, perhaps, (although maybe), but I was thinking about the talent. Being attracted to talent probably has its physiological origins, male or female, in being attracted to someone who can do real well the stuff the family or community needs doing. I dunno.
In any case, I would not want to live in a world where eroticism, either implicit, or explicit, subtle or obvious, was absent. It is a part of why making a life is worth making a living.

Opera is primarily sex centric, and one may easily argue that the female singer is the most eroticized. Most (like 99%) of operas performed were written by men, who are primarily enthralled by members of the opposite gender (Tchaikovsky and Britten not as much), so it makes sense they made women's role more erotic than males. Britten's Peter Grimes may bear resemblance to his own preferences. I believe I read somewhere that he was like Michael Jackson in ways other then his involvement with music.
