It just seems stupid. If I see a beautiful face, I want that. But if I see a dead ugly one, why would I want to do anything with it? LOL. Sorry if this doesn't quite fit in philosophy. Maybe it's the philosophy of beauty and what comprises it...

You asked, "if genitalia is ugly.....". It may mean that people may or may not have decided that the genitalia are ugly. They may be ugly or beautiful or neither or both to some one at a time and not at all times. The people want them for their use, to meet a need or a want even if those are ugly.You have not stated whose genitalia. Flowers are genitals and are often considered to be beautiful, are grown, sold, bought, offered to others, even to deities (as if the people made them and are fit to be offered to the God or Goddess who is the creator), etc.

If you are a fairly balanced, open person, I can't believe that you would find genitalia ugly. I can imagine a lesbian finding the male genitalia ugly, and a gay male finding a woman's body ugly, but assuming you are attracted to the sex of the person you are gazing at, I think you'd find their genitalia exciting, if not beautiful.
If you are heterosexual and find a woman's body ugly, you have a problem. If you are a woman or a homosexual and find a man's genitalia ugly, you also have a problem.
It could be a problem that needs psychiatric help, or you may choose to become celibate.
You did not say how you feel when looking in the mirror at yourself nude?

Beauty and ugly are purely subjective, meaning it truly is in the eye of the beholder. Many women seem less visually impressed with genitalia than men who are quite visual people (this segment of their brain is more developed).
Your reference to desiring a beautiful face, as opposed to a dead ugly one is also purely subjective. I was with my mother when she died and there was nothing ugly about her face. She didn't turn blue and her facial features didn't change. She just looked asleep.
It's the association of beauty and ugly with preconceived ideas and experiences about what those words mean that define our beliefs about beauty and ugly. Most of us have good thoughts associated with beauty. But our thoughts about death are often associated with visions of decay and putrefaction.
It's not stupid, just subjective - in the eye of the beholder :)

If you follow Plato then no one desires what is ugly. If you're a little more sensitive and humane you might say it's all relative. I don't desire all genitalia, I desire what it's attached to. It's about the person not the package. Maybe that's just a girl thing.

Some genitalia is ugly so people do not desire it, such as circumcised genitalia and animal genitalia but healthy human genitalia has its own beauty, in the eyes of the opposite gender which makes them desire it.

Because people are fascinated by the ugly. Just like we are attracted to beautiful things, sometimes we can't stop looking at something so grotesque and unattractive. It's part of our curiosity....

You really fail to understand the true meaning of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..." You love the inner beauty, not the outside packaging!

don't know about the philosophical side of it but i like knowing that playing with a women's genitalia is the key to making her feel the same (or at least similar) to how i would feel if she did the equivalent to me
