[quote=CANADAGUY,257868]I agree with much of what people have stated here already. I'll just summarize my impressions of what 'sexy' means and doesn't mean. The word comes down to whether a person finds another person sexually appealing. That in essence is what 'sexy' means. After all we are not talking about whether we find a person to be charming, or brainy, or otherwise attractive or appealing. We are talking sex here, ultimately. That is the root of the word sexy. For some strange reason the word has been taken out of context in the past 50 years or so and has lost much of its original meaning as a result. As has been pointed out, cars and electronics and computers and you name it, almost anything marketed today can be described as 'sexy'. Marketers quickly learned that sex sells, and so they feel now that calling a product 'sexy' is an easy way to sell it. This is a complete misuse of the word. BTW, sexy is not purely visual or doesn't always apply to a person's figure. Someone can have a sexy voice or a sexy smile or a sexy touch or sexy scent etc. [/quote]
