I say the horse. What say you? ---

Horse was the first thing that popped into my mind… but then I really thought about it, and I’m going to go with panther. ---

Cats are the sexiest. All forms of cat (well, almost all). Especially the cheetah, I think. ---

You know, maybe I’m weird, but when I think of sexy, non-humans just don’t come to mind. ---

I find the question somewhat disturbing. 😕 :eek: ---

Bonobo chimps aren’t that good looking but they know how to perform when it counts and they are into just about anything. For sexy looks, I vote for the cheetah. Horses are well-endowed but they are too damn stupid for any chat afterwards, they spook at the sight of water or shiny things, and most of them are fixed anyway. ---

I think my idea of sexy just isn’t calibrated to answer this question. Uhm. Clams? ---

The cheetah’s a bit anorexic for my taste. I’m going to say the yak. ---

Just so y’all know, I wasn’t thinking in terms of bestiality when I answered this. One can say a car is “sexy” without wanting to, you know, **do** it. And if you can’t, I don’t want to know about it! ---

I heard that horse thing doesn’t usually work out real well .

So is nobody going to say sheep? Remember the joke about the three sheepherders in jail looking out at the flock in the courtyard? One says, “I wish that one was Gina Lollobrigida.” The next one says, “I wish that one was Sophia Loren.” The third one says, “I just wish it was dark.” ---

Cats, in general, but I have to say, there’s this one seagull in my zip code who knows exactly how to tease… ---
