How would you truly define sex appeal?

I don't think sex appeal really has anything to do with beauty. Sex appeal comes from within yourself, its how you feel about yourself that shines through.
If you are pretty pleased with yourself and feel good it shines through and affects other people around you.

It all depends on the individual. Some people are a bit superficial and judge beauty on looks alone. Then there are people who actually need to talk to someone and get an idea of their personality before deciding whether or not they're "sexy".
For me, sex appeal is in the eyes, smile, and personality. I like sincerity. I also find intelligence sexy, someone who can actually hold a conversation about something other than shopping, their nails, or the latest gossip on Brad Pitt...

I think it is about movement and behaviour. A beautiful woman can have no sex appeal, she can be just like a mannequin in a department store and characterless. One of the sexiest women I know is actually quite plain but she makes the best of herself - however she dresses well, moves well and uses her eyes a lot, lots of looking out under her lashes at men. The men I know are driven wild by her, and yet she would never pass any beauty competition. She just knows how to project herself well - always wears a subtle scent and there is always just the teeniest hint of cleavage you can see in her blouse - nothing over the top.
So it's not beauty - it's in movement and behaviour. Some people just ooze it naturally.

Sex appeal is a combination of being appealing to both the eye and the senses...something about that person strikes you as how they look, smell, communicate, body language, etc.
It's definetely not a quick fix answer for what sex appeal is.
Why do I think about the men from Grey's Anatomy when you ask this question?! ;-)

I personally think sex appeal has nothing to do with soul ... and with beauty of a body neither. I think it is more about sexual energy. Everyone has a different pulsation of it. There are people around (You probably know one or two of them too) who get the same sexual reaction from the large number of people. And than we say this person has high sex appeal. But he/she can have very average body and/or sometimes no soul at all! But by just being around this person you get that feeling with your skin about his/her presence.I think that all on the energy vibration level. Something unexplainable but VERY powerful!

Sophia Loren said: 'sex appeal is 50% what you have, and 50% what people think you've got.'
how true! as soon as i read that, i decided to be more confidant when talking to people, and within about two weeks of deciding this, i got myself the most wonderful boyfriend ever, and attracted far more interest than i have EVER had before. i even got wolf-whistled!! if you are looking for tips on how to meet people, this is the phrase to live by.

For me it is all about attitude; what attracts me to someone is their sense of humor as many people mention first, but I'm also turned on by someone who thinks deeply about life and what it holds. I love to read and write, and such subjects as poetry, psychology, and philosophy are just a few of the ones that I love to delve into. I like a person who is willing to indulge my crazy notions once in a while, but someone who will also gently tell me when I've erred. I'm attracted to a strong personality who doesn't back down and doesn't feel too needy for my attention. Likewise, I'm attracted to someone who will respect my independence but also be there for me when I do need them. Ultimately, sex appeal to me is all about a person's mind and soul, and not so much about physical beauty.

It really depends on the person you want to appeal to. Beauty-wise (ie appearance), it is basically just "ticking the right boxes".
But confidence always is a big factor of sex appeal.
Then there is also the smell, the way one moves, the way they talk and what they say... quite complex, really.

something deeper. most certainly something deeper!
the initial attraction is, of course, is physical, but that can soon change depending on how she/he comes across. if what we're looking for is just a quickie then all well and good, but we're humans not animals. sex appeal for we us goes way beyond good looks. good looks, remember, is a fashion so they don't count.
what does count is how you see the person and how you get on with them. to truly define sex appeal is to define it for yourself.
a truly sexy lady for me would be...ah, now that would be telling.

Beauty is in the "Eye of the Beholder" and so is Sex appeal.
