"Nearly 25% respondents in a recent survey conducted by Elle/MSNBC over a two-week period in February 2006, said that a 'negative body image prevents them from feeling sexy.'"

It's so hard to be objective about something as personal as your own appearance. I've got a few indicators from other people as to how I look, but I'm still not sure exactly where I stand on the sex-o-meter.

I don't feel sexy, and never have.

Well, lets put it this way:

I don't find myself sexy when I look in the mirror, however, it depends on my mood as well. I have days when i feel like I'm ugly and not good enough, and other days where I'm like checking myself in the mirror as if 'ohhh yeah, look who has it goin on....' Hahahah. But this is also very much depending on if I have no makeup on, am wearing a sexy or lazy shirt, and if I'm having a good or bad hair day. Improving your appearance does work to improve your self esteem.

I try to be neither negative nor positive about my thoughts about myself, but realistic. I try to like myself but also take into account what OTHERS think, because you have to deal with other people in life, and you want to make it as smooth a experience as possible, whenever you can.

Usually, the majority opinion wins, and I've been hit on by many guys I've been in contact with - usually online, but they've seen my picture. However I dont believe many of them have seen my full body, and thats the thing - they think I'm beautiful and sexy, but they dont see everything that I see. PLUS it doesn't help that I live in an area full of very slim and beautiful ladies, so usually that brings down my sex appeal thoughts, but when I'm home, after some guy has just been hitting on me online, up goes the self esteem once again.

I don't think I am, even though I've received compliments. I tend to think those people are trying to provoke or segueing into some sort of imposition.

Sex appeal is overrated and not the big deal that people make of it.

(this is getting creepier and creepier :( )

I neither feel sexy nor unsexy. The status of my physical attractiveness does not often enter my mind unless I need to prepare for a date or something.

Sexiness for myself depends on certain factors such as lighting and the correct camera lense. Photoshop fixes up the rest :lol:

I feel like a lot of us are confusing feeling sexy with looking sexy. They're related but different things. I think it's unfortunate that there are a lot of young adults on this site who never feel sexy. But since we're all late bloomers here, I'm confident it will happen. My own adolesence lasted until I was 30.
