why is woman beauty always focused on sexuality?

Question

does it mean that you need to
show parts of your bodies
in order to look beautiful???

who are some examples
being beautiful not being sexy??

Answer 1

because no matter how hard religion or the right tries to suppress it, sex is a very very important part of the human condition. It's just a genetic thing, people are attracted to both a willing mate, and someone beautiful (ie having good genes), so a pretty girl (or handsome guy) who looks as though they want to have sex with you is always going to get attention.

Answer 2

My friends.... they are beautiful with out being sexual. They dress modestly and do not need cleavage or leg to look that beautiful. Their smile and personality do the job for them.

Sexual does not equal beauty. It just means you have a habit of showing boobs and leg and imply, if not actually, be willing to spread your legs.

True beauty comes from within, the personality and the proper dress.

And if a woman needs to dress sexy to feel beautiful, maybe she needs to work on loving others, caring for others, giving of themselves to help others, being unselfish, being kind and considerate, and putting others wishes and needs before their own.

They wouldn't be egotistical, hard headed, self assuming or haughty.

I would rather have a man, including my hubby, view me as beautiful, because of who I am, not because my shirt is low cut and my skirt is short.

Answer 3

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think Mother Theresa was a very beautiful person, and I think Brittney Spears and Lindsay Lohan have made themselves very un Beautiful. It's like the saying " a beautiful woman with no morals is like a gem in a pigs snout." Beauty is what's inside of a person. I hope this helped put it in perspective.

Answer 4

Imagine an invisible, undetectable force that's powerful
enough to override your sense of reason yet draws you
to someone with an almost animal passion. These aren't
Cupid's mythological arrows, but real shots of human
pheromones.

Welcome to The Scent of Eros:
Mysteries of Odor in Human Sexuality -

'Scientists in Philadelphia have established for the first
time that the human body produces pheromones, special
aromatic chemical compounds discharged by one individual
that affect the sexual physiology of another'....

Do pheromones work in human sexual attraction?

They may be odorless and colorless and their function may be
mysterious, but human pheromones at last have the zest of
scientific truth. Researchers at the University of Chicago
have demonstrated that compounds swabbed from the
'underarms' of young women at different times of the month
can alter the length of other women's menstrual cycles,
compressing or expanding the cycles in predictable
fashion....

What is the force that lights the fuse between two
complete strangers? What current pulses through their veins,
engorges their hearts, occupies their minds and numbs their
texting fingers? Ah, if only

I knew. As magic formulas go, sexual chemistry must surely
be the most valuable. It's intoxicating effects are more
pleasurable and more powerful than any drug and when it hits,
it hits hard. There are the rushes of ecstacy, the gut wrenching
anticipation, fluttering, dizziness, and the diminished
concentration that turns day-dreaming into a full-time job.
And then there are the side effects. A positively Colombian
annihilation of appetite and its confidence- boosting by-product,
weight loss. And it is free. And it is legal. It is bloody amazing.

But no one knows what "it" is. Scientists have managed to
map our genetic blueprint. They understand the subtleties
of hormones and the complexities of the emotional brain.
But the thing that makes two people click remains a mystery.
Theories abound as to what, or why. Those looking for a
magic bullet (or Cupid's arrow) tend to favour the notion
of pheromones - scents secreted by the sweat glands in the
'armpits' and pubic hair. And the relatively recent discovery
of the vomeronasal organ, a small chemo-sensory structure in
the human nose, lends the concept some weight.

Science of Love - Cupid's Chemistry:

There are, in fact, three distinct stages of love; each with
their own characteristic emotional profile and scientific explanation.

First is lust. Lust is driven by our sex hormones testosterone
and oestrogen. These hormones are what get us 'out on the pull'.
After lust comes attraction. This is the love-struck phase;
the time when we lose our appetite, can't sleep, and can't
concentrate. This is what we know as falling in love.

Answer 5

I agree with Niles Klim with the addition that the focus of sexuality in regards to a woman's beauty are rooted in fundamental parts of human psychology (procreation/child-bearing).

Answer 6

The most beautiful part of a woman is her eyes, her smile, her mind. Looks and body have nothing to do with it except at the wading-pool end of social development.

Answer 7

Womans beauty is not based on sexuality.

Answer 8

It isn't to me beauty is self confident, not arrogance. It's how she carries herself, not how slutty she can dress.


Serena Williams is a prime example she is beautiful without being sexy.

Answer 9

it is because of objectification used in the media today.
at least mostly there are other factors as well which contribute to this problem.

Answer 10

Because sex sells.

Beauty is an advertisement saying come buy me, and believe me, I ain't cheap.
