Human beings are so judgmental of the preferences of others. If we were not judgmental, the terms: homophobia, cougar, orgy, chubby chaser, pervert, and taboo would not exist. The question is, why are we so judgmental of who or what others define as sexy?
What is it my business if you find Playboy sexually stimulating? Why should I care if you prefer blondes over brunettes? Why penalize your neighbor for having a wife and a girlfriend (as long as all three are aware of the situation), and who the hell cares if your preference is fat women over thin women?
Nowhere in any definition of sexy does it say that men can not prefer red heads over blondes nor does it say that it is not sexy for women to enjoy masturbation. You see, dictionaries are very vague in their definitions of the word sexy for a reason. The definition of sexy is vague because the things that human beings believe to be sexy are vague. Everybody is different and we are all aroused and attracted to different things.
Until we can all let go of our judgment and allow others to lust and long for whatever or whomever they want (legally permitting), there will always be sexual discrimination and words like: homophobia, sizism, slut, pervert, and taboo.
Sarah's Definition of Sexy
Good manners.
Dita Von Teese- reinvented the art of the burlesque dance... teasing.
The art of Robert Mapplethorpe
Paul Rudd- He is incredibly handsome and hilarious!
My husband's shoulders
Tess Munster- a stunning plus size model with smoldering eyes and a love of cupcakes
Zooey Deschanel- Quirky, hilarious, gorgeous, incredibly talented, and admittedly thrifty!
*Sarah's Definition of Sexy includes but is not limited to the previous listed images. :-)

We Are The Tabbs
Such a wonderfully empowering post!! :)
ReplyDeleteA very good list! Mine would include soulful eyes (of any colour), a finely honed sense of the absurd, self realisation, and nice butts ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following and I am so glad I came over to follow along on your lovely blog! Great post!

I like your little caveat at the end there . . . legalese is sexy too!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely good manners and Paul Rudd will always be part of my definition of sexy too!! =)
ReplyDeleteI adore Dita Von Teese.
ReplyDeleteAlso, personality plays a huge factor in sexiness. Like you said, good manners is crucial. Being sexy can mean a lot of different things to different people, but to me being sexy is feeling comfortable in my own skin and not trying to be someone I am not!
I love your idea of sexy! I'd copy every single one of those- especially Paul Rudd. And I agree, there's a lot of judgement on such personal things, but I think that's knee-jerk nature. I think the trick is to teach yourself not to care. You can't change other people's feelings but you do have control over yours :)
ReplyDeletepaul rudd will always be sexy to me!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! xoxo
