How to increase your sex appeal
That the voice is one of the strongest factors in sex appeal is not
surprising. It is the principal instrument of self-expression. That
it is often the main desire-stimulating factor in the approach stage
of love is due to a feeling that 'here is a voice with which I could
well live'. Or 'I should like to be comforted by it, inspired to action
by it, obey it's whatever one's temperament demands. But, over and above
that, the extremely individual character of the voice it is different
from everyone else' accounts for its playing a large part the dominating
part in many cases when love leaves the approach stage, and becomes
individualized.
The factors which produce general or surface sex appeal we can distinguish,
since in the main they appeal to all, though in varying degree. But
those which lead from the approach stage to individual selection cannot
be charted. Sometimes, in fact, they are non-existent! For people who
love attribute all sorts of qualities and virtues to the objects of
their affection. Where love reigns, that 'beauty is in the eye of the
beholder' is the very truth. The eyes of love often see what others
do not cannot see.
We know that a combination of sexually-stimulating impressions will
bestow sex appeal upon those of either sex from whom they emanate. But
why, whilst they lead to admiration in the many, they awake love in
the few, perhaps in only one person, was a mystery for a long time.
It is no longer.
The normal man does not love women in the mass; neither does the normal
woman desire 'men'. No, the male seeks a mate of the opposite sex who
will arouse within him a desire which is all-embracing. The normal female
hopes to love and be loved by one man.
When physical preparation for love has taken place men and women are
ready to love and be loved. Their bodies provide the instruments of
love. Their minds turn inevitably towards love. They seek deliberately
for a mate. And even when they are not consciously engaged in the quest,
so deep-rooted is their desire for a mate that their actions are largely
governed by the seeking impulse. Thus young men and women and often
the not-so-young! who are 'unattached', place themselves in situations
favorable to making suitable contacts.
They go to dances, or on cruises, attend social functions, and seek
to meet the opposite sex as frequently as possible. In other words,
they are placing themselves in positions where they can employ their
own love-stimulating powers, and test those of others. They may not
reason it out thus. They may not consciously realise why they seek the
society of the opposite sex. But fundamentally they are responding to
this underlying urge to find a mate.
That this is so is revealed by the eagerness with which they attend
some social events often found burdensome by happily-married people,
who attend them only because of a sense of duty. We all know that contacts
thus made often result in what is called 'falling in love'. But why?
What accounts for this mutual attraction, sometimes between people who
seem to the outside world hopelessly unsuited to each other? To answer
such a question we must know something of the past life of the person
concerned.
Take the case of a girl who, when she felt the first stirrings towards
the opposite sex, noted with extreme pleasure the serene, shining eyes
of her music master by no means an unusual thing. His eyes were to her
the most striking feature he possessed. A kind man, all his kindliness
seemed to shine out through them. A learned man, all wisdom seemed reflected
there in his eyes. next >>
