How to increase your sex appeal
This love of a man for what usher sex appeal
he achieves must not be confused with a mere regard for the material
results of such work. No, in spite of all that the cynics may say, admiration
of the work itself, and usher sex appeal love
of the man capable of it, provides the explanation.
Iwan Bloch, in The Sexual Life of our Time, says: 'It is a distinctive
fact that, throughout the history of civilisation, men have always had
a clearer understanding of "masculine beauty" than women.
Women have preferred power, usher sex appeal
intelligence, energy of will, and marked individuality.'
Caroline Schlegel, writing to Luise Gotter usher
sex appeal about Mirabeau, said: 'Hideous he may be but Sophie
loved him; for what women love in men is certainly not beauty.'That
women often do love ugly even repulsive men to distraction especially
when they are geniuses, is undeniable. usher sex appeal
But such men would hardly be classed as among those possessing 'sex
appeal', were the term more commonly applied to the male sex. Yet for
some, as we have seen, the strongly-developed individuality is a desire-inspiring
factor.
Whatever rules are laid down regarding sex appeal, a hundred cases can
be cited which seem to disprove them. For, as we shall see later, there
are many deviations from normal which cut right across the usual lines
of sexual usher sex appeal approach. Even so,
we know that some persons possess to a strong degree the power to stimulate
desire in those of the opposite sex. They may not be conscious of this
power. They may never deliberately exercise it. Nevertheless, they possess
sex appeal.
All those love-stimulating impressions dealt with in the previous chapter
may play a part. All may contribute towards a usher
sex appeal complete endowment of the power to arouse desire.
And, since the stimulation of desire comes through all the senses, everything
matters where sex appeal is concerned. Thus the individual can develop
his or her sex appeal.
Every effort to strengthen one's powers, every step towards all-round
development physical, mental, cultural is a usher
sex appeal strengthening of sex appeal. But on no account must
the basic physical element be crushed by emphasis on the other elements.
We have seen, for example, that men, in the main, are attracted by physical
charm in women, and may be repelled by intellectual ability, particularly
when it takes precedence over physical appeal. Who has not met the 'blue
stocking' type of woman whose profound studies leave her little time
for anything else? In consequence she appears to be outside the stream
of life. Here, however, appearances are sometimes deceiving. Many a
woman of this type, outwardly lacking in sex appeal, nevertheless possesses
extraordinary power of attraction when known intimately.
She takes off her blue stockings when she goes to bed! She is an ardent
lover whose warmth and zeal are felt as soon as close contact is effected.
The barrier which the intellectual side of her life sets up then serves
by contrast to heighten the pleasure of intimacy with her. All she knows,
all she has read, reinforce her power to love and arouse love. That
is why such women are often outstandingly successful in their love lives.
Who has not heard adverse comments on the marriage of a typical blue
stocking' to a handsome, alert man whose interests seem totally at variance
with hers? So far as appearances go, such unions seem utterly hopeless
in every way. Yet they often prove extremely happy. All of which goes
to prove that sex appeal does not lie entirely on the surface!
With personality, as we have remarked, there are qualities which are
immediately obvious and so are seen by all, yet more important are the
deeper qualities which are revealed only on closer acquaintance. The
same is true of sex appeal. It has a surface aspect which is general;
a deeper one which is individual.
Attempts have been made from time to time to standardise, measure and
apportion the approximate values of the various elements in sex appeal.
They were doomed to failure. For they could take little or no account
of those deeper components which lie beneath the surface.
