If we identify the sexiest women in the world, will we also find out what makes all women sexy and alluring? That's the premise behind a Good Housekeeping study of all ages to answer this question: "What makes some women more attractive than others?"
The answer isn't their makeup, hair, or curvy bodies. What makes a woman--or a man, for that matter--sexy is the brain because it "generates fantasy, devises seduction routines, and is aroused by sight, scent, and smell," says Vivienne Parry, science editor of the British edition of Good Housekeeping. "It's the brain that prompts us to advertise our feelings with the way we talk, move, and act."
Desmond Morris, author of "The Naked Woman: A Study of the Female Body," told Good Housekeeping, "In today's world, the concept of beauty and attraction comes via two separate avenues, anatomical beauty and behavioral beauty. It's comforting then, finally to see a set of top 10 lists that celebrates not only technically gorgeous women, but also those whose looks subvert the norm."
To illustrate this point, the magazine created lists of the sexiest women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70s!
