One of the reasons I believe some men are resentful of the female sex and give women a hard time is because they have been made to feel guilty about their own sexuality. So, to help alleviate this problem, I'd like to introduce you to today's author Mіss Lеаnnе Fitzgerald who will share with us some of her fond thoughts of men and their sexuality. Hopefully, Leanne will become a continuing contributor to Body in Mind. -DBell

Mеn Arе Sеxy Wіthоυt Evеn Knоwіng It

As a woman, I've often noticed that men and their sexuality are much maligned in our society. As a result, to the great chagrin of women everywhere, men spend too much time trying to hide, or even suppress, their natural sexuality, and regrettably end up not even knowing what it is that we find appealing. There are, in fact, many simple, subtle things a man does that make him sexy to a woman, things most men have never even thought of.

Here's a partial list (in no particular order) that should make you men feel better about yourselves. Keep in mind it is by no means exhaustive, and believe me, we women are ever watchful for further additions to the collection:

* The way a watch looks on his wrist.

* His bare forearms.

* When he plays any musical instrument. (Okay, maybe not the tuba.)

* When you ask him to open a jar you've been struggling with and he twists off the lid effortlessly. It's even sexier if he smiles and says "Well, you loosened it for me."

* When he wears an unbuttoned white dress shirt, and nothing else, to bed.

* If he blushes when you see his baby pictures.

* If he lets you see his baby pictures.

* When he throws his arm over the passenger seat while reversing, especially if you're in the passenger seat.

* If he smells like soap, and his clothes like Downy fabric softener.

* When he shaves, or lets you shave him, using foam and a disposable razor.

* The way he bends his head and cups the flame to light a cigarette. The way he flicks ashes into an ashtray.

* The way he looks at your lips when you talk.

* The ways his knees look in a pair of jeans. (Black jeans are best for this, but blue jeans do nicely, too.)

* His wedding ring, but only if you put it there.

* When he loosens his tie, and leaves it loose.

* Subtle cologne.

* Contrary to popular opinion...his erect penis.

* When he offers to carry the heaviest shopping bag.

* The crow's feet around his eyes.

* When he wears any kind of tool belt or work apron, slung low on the hips.

* The way he drives a stick shift.

* When he holds you around the waist, or comes up behind you to wrap his arms around you.

* When he wears any kind of uniform. (Excеpt Bυrgеr King's)

* The way he brushes his hand through his hair.

* The way his eyes move across the page when he reads something that fascinates him.

* If he wears a white dress shirt, unbuttoned, over a white t-shirt.

* When you're walking through a doorway and he gently touches the small of your back.

* When he slings a coat over his shoulder and holds it there hooked on two fingers.

* The way he lights a barbecue, or fixes a car.

* If he speaks with an accent (a genuine one).

* The way his jeans crinkle up around his ankles when he's wearing running shoes.

* When he wears boots.

* When he sings in the car.

* When he writes you really bad poetry.

I could go on and on. I hope you men realize by now how sexy and alluring and intriguing we find you when you're just being yourselves.

Your friend, (and yes, admirer)
