What makes men sexy

Too often, men get the butt end of the stick. Well, it is time to come clean. The ‘other’ gender is not just useful to have about the place, but also interesting, stimulating, attractive and sometimes, very hot indeed.

Anne Sexton, 29 Jul 2010

Women are often less than complimentary about men. On any given day we may decide to complain about your sexual abilities; housekeeping skills; your fondness for televised sports; your clothes; your diet; or your friends. We blame you for wars, capitalism, environmental destruction, patriarchy, and general large-scale cluster-fucks. No woman would have invented nuclear weapons, we say smugly, or Scientology.

We complain that you are overgrown boys, and like children need minding; that you get under our feet; leave socks strewn around the house; stare at women's breasts; and watch far too much porn.

Frankly, men would be forgiven for thinking that most of the time we don't like you. But this isn't true. Women love men. We do. Honestly. You have your flaws – and many of them at that – but we love you all the same.

In truth, there are many things women admire about men – your masculinity, your sexiness, your personalities and the odd little things that men do differently to women. The sun is shining and I am in a good mood so, let's hear it for the boys! Here are just a few of my favourite things about men...

Smell

There are few things sexier than the slightly sweaty, musky odour of a man's natural scent. Why do you think women sometimes nick your t-shirts? It ain't for your fashion sense, since most of you have none. Nope, it's because a man's natural smell is an incredible olfactory bouquet and if we like you, being around your smell is both a turn-on and a comfort. It's better than the smell of freshly cut grass, coffee or baking bread – those are all delicious too, but they rarely make us swoon.

Having said that, we don't disapprove of male fragrances. Choose a good one and we'll want to bury our faces in your neck and breathe it in. Just don't overdo it.

Freshly showered men

There is something about a man fresh from the shower, hair dripping and a towel around his waist that makes me weak at the knees. I don't know what it is – perhaps some primal urge to make him all dirty again. A well-cut suit, a fitted tee shirt, and a pair of hip hugging jeans are all very sexy too, but nothing compares to a towel, even a slightly greying one that's seen better days.
