Question: Do masks make you look sexier?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer
The face mask is one of the key words for the coronavirus pandemic this year and will probably be one of the most mentioned words next year as well. Meanwhile, through social networks, people have also linked wearing a mask to attraction. For example in June, someone's Twitter post went viral. As you can see, actor Chris Pine was photographed with a cardboard bag full of books and wearing an anti-Covid mask on his face. Chris himself is sex. The books themselves are sex. The mask also makes it look sexier.
Në fakt, studime në Shtetet e Bashkuara të Amerikës tregojnë se gratë janë të mendimit se burrat që mbajnë maskë në publik janë më seksi. Një sondazh i muajit gusht i realizuar nga kompania e shëndetit seksual Royal, vuri në dukje se 88% e grave në SHBA qenë të mendimit se burrat me maskë anti-Covid janë më seksi. Madje edhe gratë në marrëdhënie me partnerë që nuk mbajnë maskë thanë të njëjtën gjë.
Vanessa Brown, pedagoge e dizajnit dhe kulturës në Nottingham Trent University në Mbretërinë e Bashkuar, tha për GQ se arsyeja se pse njerëzit me maskë duken më tërheqës është i njëjtë me arsyet që pse disa njerëzve u duken më tërheqës njerëzit me syze.
According to her, there is definitely something about replacing something, in this case your face, with something created, like glasses or masks. "Think, for example, of a classic suit and the effect it has on the male body," she said.
Another factor Brown points out is risk. She cited the fact that in the past, men with bandanas or motorcyclists covering their faces have attracted attention. Risk and withdrawal have a long relationship. Even the mask more or less creates this sensation.
Of course mystery is an important element. People with masks look more mysterious. Even if we overthrow all this reason, masked people still look more attractive, because what is sexier than someone who cares about others?
