Sex Appeal Isn't Just About Your Body

November 2, 2020
Written by: Ms. Femoiselle

Femoiselles, when you think of sex appeal, you automatically think of voluptuous shape, flowing skin, perfect smile, flat stomachs, just all out gorgeous. I am here to tell you, sex appeal is more than just your appearance. Sex appeal isn't all about being an Instagram baddie. Sex appeal involves attraction. There certainly is more to being attractive than someones physicality. Your physical appearance is about only 10% of the process.

What is Sex Appeal?

The definition of sex appeal is the quality of being attractive in a sexual way. Some call it sexual attraction. Attraction isn't just about aesthetic, it includes other factors such as movements, your voice and smell. Your body is a small portion in the grand scheme of things. Sex appeal is about being the whole package to someone that understands the whole entirety of the being. It's about the mind, body and soul. Appeal isn't based on one sole feature or behavior. A person can have flaws and someone can still find them sexually appealing.

Sex Appeal Varies From Person to Person

Have you ever met a woman that isn't the most beautiful but she always has a bevy of men chasing after her and trying to get her attention. You think to yourself, what is it about her that they find so appealing. Well sex appeal varies from person to person. Confidence is very attractive. Women that are very confident never really have a hard time attracting the opposite sex. Another thing men find appealling is charisma. Charisma will give you that extra boost of sexiness. Charisma is the magnetic and charming personal quality that draws people to someone. Its about having a likeable personality that draws people in. Having a great personality can solely be the basis of how someone is attracted to you. For one man your personality is what brings him in to you. For another man, it could be how confident you are in general. Sometimes the way you smell can really trigger and make a man want to get to know you. The tone of your voice can make a man be so into you. Your gestures and body movements when walking and talking can produce sex appeal in a man's eye. On the other hand, it could simply be the way you look that they find appealing. I can't forget to mention, just being an interesting person will turn your sex appeal up several notches. We can't put sex appeal in one box viewed by men as just visually beautiful.

You Can Have Sex Appeal Too

Femoiselles you can have sex appeal many differenty ways. Sex appeal can be shown through your body language, your appearance, and your behavior. Check out ways to produce sex appeal.

Behavior

❤ Sex appeal via your behavior starts with being comfortable talking to other people. That means you can't be shy and you should brush up on your conversational skills. If you have anxiety when it comes to talking to anyone new, people can tell. If you know that this is your issue, practice by saying hi to people when you are out in public. Ask them how they are doing. If that doesn't help, sometimes a little liquid will give you courage, aka liquid courage. Again, having confidence is key. You want to seem like you aren't afraid and nervous.

❤ When you have confidence others notice and like it. One of the ways you can seem confident is by smiling. Having your own opinion is super appealing too. You can't be a doormat. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. It is ok to disagree. If you handle the disagreements well, it shows you have maturity.

❤ Another way to show sex appeal via your behavior is willing to be open and try something new. Men find it sexy when you aren't scared to open up and try something different. It could be as simple as trying a new drink or watching a different genre of movie. The fact of being willing to do so is very attractive. These are just a few ways to be sexually appealing based on your behavior.

Appearance

Keeping up your appearance is a key factor in sex appeal.

❤ Make sure you purchase and wear clothes that are flattering to your body. Also pick clothes that compliment your skin tone. You don't have to show all your skin to be sexy. Just giving a little can go a long way. Try to pick feminine and flirty styles to appeal.

❤ Another way to kick up your sex appeal is to wear makeup. This doesn't mean have your face caked by the pound. Makeup should be worn to enhance your beauty. A little, lipstick, foundation, blush, mascara and eyeshadow can uplift your natural beauty. If you aren't comfortable with your skills, Youtube makeup tutorials is your new bestfriend. Also, you can get tips from the beauty counters in your local department store. Makeup will take your overall appearance up a notch.

❤ Femoiselles, treating your body right is important in sex appeal. So that means you want to maintain your skin, drink water and eat as healthy as you can. Try to avoid drinking lots of alcohol. Drinking too much wine can make you puffy. Speaking of puffy, your eyes being puffy with bags is not a good look. Make sure you get as much beauty rest as possible. Avoid smoking because it's not good for your skin either. Make sure you work out even if it is simply walking everyday, workout tapes or a light jog.

Fragrance

Femoiselles, I can't stress this enough, smelling good is the oldest trick in the book

❤ Simply wearing a nice fragrance will reel men in. It is the easiest way to get a man to approach you. The sense of smell plays a major role in sex appeal. You personally know that if a man isn't smelling too pleasant that it probably turn you off. Always find a couple of scents for different seasons that are great for you.

Body Language, Physical and Verbal Attraction

Body language is one of the easiest ways to be appealing sexually. Whether you know it or not, other people are watching you while you are out and reading your body language. This could make the difference of whether someone will approach you are not. Your body language sends signals to people that know how to read body language. Here are some things to do to show you have sex appeal.

❤ Make sure you smile, real authentic smiles not fake ones.

❤ Make a habit of not crossing your arms. It shows that you are closed off to people. You want to appear open and welcome for conversation.

❤ Work on your posture as well. Sit up straight and stand straight, no slumping over.

❤ Flirting is useful. You can touch a man's arm, sit close to him, or whisper in his ear. Femoiselles, make sure you make eye contact. This will appear that you are paying attention. Men love when you seem like you are interested in what they are talking about.

❤ The way in which you walk in your heels with grace and power can make all the difference. If you are unsure of how to do these things, watch other people that you consider to be confident. Observe how they move their body and react with men that approach them.

Femoiselles, realize that sex appeal isn't all about the body. It isn't even about being sexual in general. If you feel like you are lacking in any one of these areas, practice these skills provided. After awhile, they will come naturally. Most importantly add your personal touch and flare. Anyone can have sex appeal, make sure that person is you!
