So does anyone else get turned on by female Fortnite skins? I mean, I definitely do. It’s for sure one of the main reasons I keep playing.

Yeah, I mean obviously, there are some pretty sexy outfits and characters. Cute butts. Slender and sleek models, curvy in all the right places. But beyond just a hot 3d model to look at, there’s the added attraction of playing with these models in a 3rd-person over-the-shoulder shooter. I guess what I’m saying is watching your character run, sprint, and jump is exhilarating, in a way that lets you admire the athleticism and grace of these sexy simulated automatons.

Those curves and exposed flashes of skin come to life when your character is crouching with a rifle, side stepping with cat-like motions, and gliding through the air in mid-leap. And when you run down a hill and slide, especially the knees spread stance… super hot. Even a slow deliberate walk is enough to appreciate. There are various ways you can control the camera angle, including backing into a corner in a room, that lets you really get up close and personal with say, Adira’s ass. Or get a peek up Aphrodite’s skirt as she’s free falling. Alas, Fortnite is aware of this and clads them all in boy-cut short-short undies, rather than revealing or lacy panties. Makes sense.

Part of the appeal is the restraint Fortnite has to show. Although the outfits can play with tights, fishnet stockings, ripped nylons, exposed midriffs, and tiny shorts, they also can’t be blatantly perversely sexy, so no tiny bikinis and big fake bouncing titties (a la Dead or Alive). They still have to cater to a generally family-friendly audience. That makes the somewhat revealing outfits more rare and more, counterintuitively, exciting.

The other Fortnite innovation that makes me super horny are Emotes, the little dances you can get for your characters. These are so incredibly well animated, often featuring popular and viral songs from TikTok or Instagram. And the dance moves, including facial expressions, are on point. There are some very cute, sexy dances available in Fortnite. Even simple ones can shine, like Party Hips, which is super flattering from a bum perspective. There’s another where they just sit in a chair and wait, casting their gaze about impatiently - with the right skin (Athleisure Assassin), it can be so withholding and erotic, somehow. As an upgrade to sitting, from this recent Mad Max inspired season, there’s a casua- stance sitting emote on a raised future-punk-metal chair that lets you get your upskirt views in very easily.

I’ve already mentioned some of them, but let’s talk about my current favorite skins.

Adira has always been a winner because of her tight body suit. When it’s outfitted in Japanese armor, there are cute red strings tying the pieces to her body in little bows (mwah, Chef’s kiss!). But when she strips all that off, her black body suit is so sleek, her waist so idealized, and her butt is probably the best butt in the game on the roundness scale. The fabric of her suit is worth mentioning, because in the right lighting, you can see the texture is a hexagonal hash that lets her curves catch every glint of the sun’s rays. Since Fortnite uses (and develops) Unreal Engine, the environmental lighting effects are top notch, and I can spend blissful tens of seconds just rotating Adira on top of a hill to get all the angles. And then you make her crouch and do it again.

I’m all about legs though, so I’ve been all over the Safari skin as well, who wears delightful booty shorts that let her mildly tattooed legs shine. I love dropping her with an umbrella themed glider, so that she hangs down from it and her legs sway back and forth for DAYS. Her brown ponytail is so bouncy, and her aviator sunglasses are so mysterious. Her slightly cropped top lays just off one shoulder, so nice. And her cowboy hat. I mean, you know about cowboy hats on hot girls right? There is a recent black themed variant that I also like.

I guess my absolute favorite right now is Athleisure Assassin. A variant of Runway Racer, the thing that stood out for me is her fabulous bare midriff and cute belly button. Her black tiny top, black yoga pants, and all the hot pink accents really do it for me. The back bling is also a really nice accessory and thankfully doesn’t obscure that rockin waist. She’s pretty, though there’s just something a tiny bit off about her eyes, but her blonde hair, dyed pink at the ends, is just to die for. And how it moves. This skin is poetry in motion. I’d love to work out with her.

The Aphrodite Immortal skin is super sexy too. Love how she’s barefoot in that stunning dress. Pair that with her Love Swing (not what it’s called, but you know what I mean) Emote and it’s divine. See what I did there? Her legs swing and kick back and forth in a very very pleasing way.

I also gotta mention the Atom Eve skin (pretty in pink, tight outfit, sexy to see all the animations with cel shading). And Ciri’s skin is smoking, if only from her smoky eyes in the profile image. She’s quite clothed but wears the hell out of those medieval leather pants. Marvel skins are great, I love my Domino and Psylocke, but what I’ve seen of Rogue’s outfit (that ass) and Dark Phoenix (dem titties) makes me want to buy them. Of Epic’s characters, Evie is very cute, with such an attitude, and her schoolgirl skirt vibes are very true to the Battle Royale roots. Helsie’s fishnet stockings are awesome too - she reminds me of Billie Eilish. And the latest main character, Hope? I’ll take any haughty hottie in a short skirt.

Maybe this is all a niche idea. I tried to Google for anyone else who’s written about this, even on NSFW Reddit, but no dice. People are afraid to admit it - Fornite skins are hot! Or maybe I’m the only dorky gamer girl who gets horny about this sort of thing. Somehow I doubt that.
