What is sex appeal?

I was in a grocery store on the weekend and saw a young woman, 20 something, with her boyfriend. There was something very sexy about her that I found very attractive and arousing. It drew me to watching for her as she moved up and down the aisles. [a soup section stalker]

It got me to thinking, what is it about some women that no matter what they are wearing, how much make up they have on, or whatever, they just ooze sex appeal? They draw your attention and spark your fantasies.

I find that every once in awhile I run across such a woman. There is no particular type ie blonde, brunette, tall, short etc. There is no particular context, restaurants, bars, SC's etc. There is no specific age. Just something that comes through that draws you to them and starts to increase the blood flow to the brains...the upper and lower brains.

I am speaking of the "natural" sex appeal...not the playboy, Hollywood, magazine manufactured variety.

What is this thing called sex appeal?
 
The ability to suck a golf ball through fifty feet of garden hose while itching the back of her ears with her knees?
 
Monday morning, don't ya love it!

The age of wonder and romance has been runover by the basic instincts of the primitive man.

;)
 
the power to entice or attract through personal charm, the qualities that give pleasure to the senses, the capacity to attract intense interest.. or Marilyn Monroe
 
Shades - I hear what you are saying. To me it's the way she carries herself. The walk and attitude (or lack there of).
 
i used to do a little modeling and whenever i got a certain gig, i was told it was because of my "sex appleal". when i asked my agent one time what exactly was meant by that, he said it was an attitude/presence i had.
 
IMO, sex appeal is a vibe given off by certain women who either love sex or are simply turned on by the attention they get. If they are both of these then they are amazing. It doesn't seem to have a lot to do with looks, although a pretty face and killer body don't hurt!
 
The interesting thing I find about sex appeal is that one can recognize it or see it in someone....and it can be a totally non-verbal communication.
In other words a strictly visual connection, and rarely tactile.
So yes I think it is a look, a way of moving, of gesturing, of holding ones head, arms, all those little things that register a persons presence.
To me it is a combination of these things...one element alone, eg a look, a movement won't create the presence. It takes a number of the elements to be present and working together.
If this is part of seeing the aura, nitehwk, then yes that too.
As frustrating as it is, it is more often than not a one way experience. In my life there have only been a few times the chemistry has been reciprocal...ahh but those times...WOW.
 
Presence is the result of exudation of confidence in oneself. People are attracted to confidence.
 
i think it really is a matter of how you feel about yourself, and how you carry yourself. obviously, your own particular "look" has to appeal to the viewer as well, but, that is more superficial.

my buddies and i used to go out to bars and clubs, religiously, and, by no means, was i the "best" looking one out of us all, but, i was the guy who usually had ladies talking to me. i always asked the ladies why they chose to talk to me, and they always stated, i had an appeal, a way in which i carried myself. it really has more to do with your own confidence with yourself, than it does with the way you look. having confidence (not arrogance) in yourself, projects to others in ways you cannot imagine.

ever hear the saying, a person can walk into a room and own it?? it is true!

Sophia Loren was quoted as saying sex appeal is 50% what you have and 50% what you THINK you have.
That is, you have to the attitude but you better have something to back it up with.
