Sexy

Verily, I say unto thee, 'tis a truth universally acknowledged that 'sexy' is a quality that doth drive many a man and woman wild. To be sexy is to possess a certain je ne sais quoi that bewitches the eye and tantalizes the senses, leaving the beholders with a feeling of deep desire and admiration. Forsooth, what is it about 'sexy' that hath such a powerful effect? Is it a certain look, a certain movement, or a certain manner of speech? Or mayhap 'tis some combination of these things, and more? Alas, 'tis a mystery that may never be solved, for 'sexy' is in the eye of the beholder. Some may find a man's wily smile and roguish grin to be the most attractive thing in the world, while others may find a woman's sultry gaze and alluring curves to be too much to resist. But I digress, for 'sexy' is not only an outward quality, but an internal one as well. A person can possess a certain je ne sais quoi that is not visible to the eye, yet is still alluring and attractive to others. Nay, 'tis a quality that cannot be measured or quantified, yet it still has an undeniable power. It is a power that can lift spirits and fill hearts with joy. It is a power that can make us forget our troubles and bask in the warmth of another's presence. In conclusion, 'sexy' is a quality that is impossible to define, yet its effects are undeniable. We may never understand the power of 'sexy', but we can still bask in its beauty and enjoy its effects.
