What is Sexy to a Man??

Let's face it, men think about sex a good portion of the day, but what do they find "sexy"?

Have you ever thought about why some people are considered sexy, while others, possibly of similar physical attributes, are not? They say a man is attracted to a women because of her appearance and falls in love with her as a result. Have you ever stopped to think what is sexy and what is not? It goes beyond pretty and ugly, it might even be something we cannot perceive, such as an attitude, but if we could put it in pictures, this is what it might look like.

What was Hot, isn't

At one time fat was considered sexy, it was a sign of wealth. If you were fat, you could afford food. At a point art so often depicted chubby looking women, at it became a standard of perfection to be a bit chunky. Of course what few people realized is that some artists were using corpses for models, as such the women in the paintings tended to be a bit bloated.
Being overweight is not healthy, nor is being underweight. Some men adore women with "meat on their bones" and other men, prefer the waifs.

One or Two?
Some men find women more attractive in pairs. They enjoy watching women together, or even with another male. Is this necessarily sexy, or just sexual? Since a mans mind thinks about sex far more frequently than a woman, perhaps he figures with more women, the better his chances are.

Many men have at one time or another, fantasized about being with more than one girl at a time. Other men are purely monogamous. Even when happily with one woman, they often still desire to look at other women purely for sexual fantasy.

Leather or Lace?

Some men prefer soft fabrics on a woman, silk and lace. White to show purity, fabrics that show softness and femininity. Some fabrics cling to a womans body better than others, showing the curves and her natural shape, silk and lace is more sexy to most men, than is flannel.
Some men prefer their women to be a bit more individual in dress, more avant-garde, not so powdery perfect. I have to admit I fall into the second type of male here. My wife puts on black, and look out!

Are you a Breast man?

Some men are attracted to a woman's breasts more than any other feature, thus women often go to enormous lengths to accentuate their breasts. Simple things like a specialized, uplifting bra are often used, but some women also use duct tape to lift their breasts and create a fuller, firmer look. Further extremes involve surgery, which, in some cases, have caused health problems.

Other men are attracted to a nice round, firm rump, and long legs. Women have used devices to make their bum look rounder, and have put their feet through pain by wearing high healed shoes, just to look sexier for men, or their man in particular.

Less is More

Sometimes seeing less is more sexy and sensual than seeing every little detail. This model is truly sexy, her back is revealed, and her face is at an angle that suggests some mystery. In many cases men find partially clothed women more sexy than fully naked women. The mystery is captivating, the thrill of convincing her to undress, and the desire to watch it are undeniably male traits.

Keeley Hazell

2008-09-06T06:31:00.000-07:00

Kentish melon-farmer
The 21-year-old with the nation’s finest frontage has spent the last year modelling too-small lingerie, starring in a slightly odd online technology show and making it big in the US.

Scarlett Johansson

2008-09-06T06:28:00.000-07:00

Fulsome fantasy
“Seriously, I really want to grab Scarlett’s breasts. She’s got beautiful ones.” There you have it: evidence that the 23-year-old now makes even her female co-stars – the famously straight-laced Natalie Portman, in this case – come over all peculiar.

Keira Knightley

Willowy wonder
As any savvy movie-goer is well aware, historical dramas often contain scenes of erotic brilliance. Keira’s role in last year’s Oscar-nominated Atonement, for example, was savagely salacious. The good news is the 2006 winner has another period bodice-ripper out later this year.

What is Sexy Hair

2007-12-09T02:29:00.000-08:00

by: Damien R. von Dahlem

Everybody wants sexy hair and I see it promised in magazine after magazine, but I have never seen or heard anyone really quantify it.

Perhaps it is not quantifiable as perceptions of what is sexy will vary from person to person. Perhaps no real writer wants to run the risk of offending those who have hair that does not conform to sexiness. Perhaps I'm just a blowhard that doesn't know when to quit.

Be that as it may, I have given the subject some thought and now I am going to take a good whack at it.
Frequently people confuse pretty with sexy. I have known plenty of pretty people with the sex appeal of a bacteria infested sponge, and I have known plain and even marginally unattractive people who ooze sex appeal with their every gesture that they grace us with.

Indeed I would argue that there is no ultimately sexy hairstyle anymore than the car you drive, the magic gob in a bottle, or the other sparkly consumer products can deliver. (Note to self: expect nasty calls from advertisers.)

Yet I do believe that a sexy hairstyle can be the icing on the cake so long as the cake itself has some real substance. My personal definition of sexy is an independent gal with plenty of spunk and brains to boot. I am far more interested in what is in her head than on it. Still, every now then a divine creature with that certain ulala will walk into a room and every single head turns without an iota of an idea if she has the capacity to tie her own shoe, and to be honest, at that precise moment no one cares.

So what is it about that person that has a universal effect on all whom she passes and can we bottle it?

Its confidence. The universal sex appeal is the confidence we exude culminating in graceful posture and movement.

So much for her (bitch), now to the rest of us.

A sexy hairstyle will:

1. Be a simple clean cut with clean lines. Understated elegance. Why we as a culture insist on mangling our brides with intense and often confusing updo's, is simply beyond me. The same goes for those poofy shoulders, bangles and bobbles hanging from the bride's dress as if she were an Elizabethan era lampshade.

2. Be age appropriate. Tell your husband you'll wear your hair long again when he can produce his high school stomach and biceps.

3. Be ethnically appropriate. Every culture has its jewels and gems, so why try to usurp someone else's heritage. It usually looks really dumb anyway.

4. Be revealing. Don't hide behind your hair. Open it up, show the world who and what you are. Stop insisting on celebrity cuts. Even if your stylist has the skill to give you the latest Meg Ryan cut, you still won't look like Meg Ryan.

5. Be proportionate to your face and body structure. Get a good stylist who knows the rules and math of proportionate cutting, drawing the eye to your best feature and away from your least flattering feature.

6. Be in line with your makeup. Please, blue eye shadow? I have never seen that make anyone look anything but trailer. Get help from a real pro, and I don't mean your local Avon or Mary Kay buddy. Their products are fine, some even good, I'm talking about the painter not the paint.

Well, I'm done. Of course what do I know, I'm only a man. (With a drop dead gorgeous and sexy wife.)

Jessica Alba is one of the hottest actresses today, starring in popular films like Sin City and Fantastic Four. Men desire her; women want to be her, and she's a giant star.

However, despite her popularity, some say Jessica Alba is nothing more than a comely character actor who isn't good looking or talented enough to carry a film. Should you love Jessica Alba or should you hate Jessica Alba?

Scarlett Johansson: Sexiest Girl in the World... Ever!

2007-08-28T07:04:00.000-07:00

Alright, that may be a bit of an exageration, but I have no problem with Scarlett Johansson taking the top spot in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" countdown. Is she really sexier than last year's winner Angelina Jolie? Who knows, but getting your boobs grabbed on national television, and being naked on the cover of Vanity Fair have a way of tipping the scales.

So while lists like these are really just another way of drumming up magazine sales, as far as I'm concerned, it's as good a way as any. So go get that issue of FHM on April 4, lock yourself in your bathroom, and make a day of it. And don't forget to check out more of Scarlett Johansson and her super sexiness after the jump. Seriously, this is a pretty hot shoot, and I'm fairly certain her top is see-through...
