Sex Appeal

“Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got.” Sophia Loren                                                                

                                                 

                                                         

“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.”    Audrey Hepburn

Two quotes from famous actresses, who were considered to be beautiful women. They had class and they starred in movies that left something to the imagination. 

I would love to take a survey out on the street and ask, what is sex appeal to you. Is it all about the sex or is it something more. What makes someone attractive to you. I would say part of it is looks, but looks don't go very far when there is nothing behind them.

I had a friend who is gone now, he passed away a few years ago. He wasn't ugly, but he wasn't a man you would have considered handsome, he was pretty average in the looks department. But when it came to the personality department he had it in spades. He was humorous, witty and smart. He was someone you could sit and talk to, share things with, a great friend. Whenever I think about him I remember the great stuff I loved about him. We connected on a mind level. I think the basis for any great romance starts out in the friendship department. You may have friendship without romance, but I don't think you can have romance without first having friendship. 

Some of the best times in bed I have had with my husband were the hours we spent talking to each other. Sometimes no words are necessary at all because you can just be, my phrasing for being in the moment, in any moment, when there is no talking, but everything is being communicated.

I do believe men and women do think differently, but I also believe that we are not that completely different.

I was inspired to write this blog entry because of a message I received from someone that got me thinking about sex appeal. So this is my question to you, what is sex appeal? I want to do something different with this blog entry. Give me your answers, I want to do a follow up blog, you the readers will be the ones I survey. I will compile your answers into the follow up blog.
