Any sort of UK accent pretty much makes me juicy. Sorry, there’s really no other way to say it. Talk Limey to me! ---

Those choker necklaces. Buh. I turn into a puddle when one of those is around an attractive female’s neck. I’m not going to go on more about it. I might sound more like a caveman if I do. ---

Ridiculously pale skin. _Alabaster_ skin. Especially combined with dark hair. Glasses are good, too. Especially funky frames. A woman with a good singing voice can get me going. ---

Well, I’m ready when you are. 🙂 If I ever met a guy who could recite something from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” at an appropriate moment, I’d probably jump him right there. (If he could do it sarcastically I’d rip his zipper open with my teeth. 😉 ) ---
