[li]a woman crying[/li] I can’t explain it, but there’s something inherently beautiful about it. [sub]at least until I find out what she is crying about. Hopefully, it’s nothing more serious than onions.[/sub] ---

A guy hanging his elbow out the open window of the car as he’s driving. No, I cannot explain this. At all. ---

A youngish woman with short, dark hair and a narrow streak of silver going all down one side, near the face. It just draws the attention in and makes me want to touch it. ---

Thin, wire rimmed glasses on a man. Like Glenn Miller or King Aleksandar of Yugoslavia. ---

Watching someone masterfully play the piano. Musical ability is very sexy, but it’s even sexier combined with a skill for dancing. ---

Angry women. Not all the time, and not when they’re angry at me, but often. Their eyes flash, they scowl, tense up. Not sure why, but it’s often sexy. ---

A man, cooking. This is very sexy - particularly if he cooks well… ---

So I was composing a piano piece today, while driving with my elbow hanging out the window, when my thin, wire-rimmed glasses slipped. I pushed them back with my left hand, being left-handed, then had to use it to steer when my right hand was required to stabilize the groceries I’d just purchased to cook dinner tonight… ---

Long grey hair on women. Not up in a bun, shellac’ed into a hard controlled shape, but loose and flowing and shoulder-length or longer and grey to white on an older woman. MMMMMMMMmmmmmm! ---

A guy who farts, then giggles. Men who blush. The way my lover sings our dog to sleep. And I love the whole swing your dick in a circle naked dance–maybe it’s intended to be sexy but it’s so goofy that it’s totally unsexy and then it becomes, again, sexy. ---

Toes. Don’t know why, but toes. Oh, and only girl toes. I’m not usually picky, but guy toes just don’t do anything for me. ---

Chris Kattan impersonating Antonio Banderas, comes to mind, as the narrator and host of this thread (Mexican band guys) “No, no, no! Don’t do it, It’s TOO SEXY!” (Chris/Antonio) “But I must!” ---

A woman’s underarm hair. Not bushy, mind you, but if it’s downy and wispy… …mmmmmmmmm… ---

The inside of a man’s lower arm, from his wrist to his elbow. The hair kind of fades away and the skin is soft and bare. Sometimes you can see a hint of the veins underneath. And there is simply nothing sexier than an elbow crack. Errogenous zone? Oh yeah. ---

guys who tap their feet when they get nervous, and when called upon it, giggle… that, and finger sucking…well, sucking my fingers, not their own! I think I’m just a freak… ---
