This scene from the 1949 film “On the Town” starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra and several other great stars is not only sexy, thanks to the incredible dancing talent, gorgeous legs and beautiful green dress filled by Ann Miller, but also full of so much modern day triggering I was kind of shocked they still play it, even on AMC! Enjoy!

Damn she was hot! Sexy women back then also didn’t wear those disgusting men biker shorts under their skirts as some of them do now….Can’t watch ladies tennis now for that reason, they all wear biker shorts, its flippen revolting!
Well she is wearing something under her dress, but I would consider those more “hot pants” than biker shorts. Ladies need to go back to learning to dance along with some weights, it really makes a difference. My wife does Zumba, which is kind of a salsa type dance exercise, but I think it probably pales in comparison to this.
Haha 😂 yup
Now I’m not prudish but earlier in our relationship my husband really sometimes said to me that I still had a lot to learn about what men find sexy, and this clip seems to verify his statement: All I see is people who fool around in a museum 😆 and though the dancing is great I don’t see the sexiness of it. Like with Eric Prydz “Call on me” , some music channel declared it the sexiest music video ever and I couldn’t quite see why? The lady in the first row for instance has an awful hairdo.
It has a lot to do with the movement of the female form. When a lady knows how to dance it’s like flowing sexuality. Its fluid and for some reason it makes all her curves stand out. Like the legs of the woman in the movie. She has nice legs, yeah, especially for a dancer, and she’s not wearing anything one would particularly consider “sexy”, its just a nice dress that, by modern standards, is downright prudish. When she dances, though, it all works together! The color of the dress, the way its split up the front, the way her legs peek out here and there until she reveals them.
I looked up the video you reference and, yeah, the chicks are half naked, but their dance moves are sexually visceral, yet they flow! Watch the video again in the “Dancing is where its at, ladies” post! The women all flow…..
Yes, I remember your post about dancing, and I remember how my now husband reacted to my showing some belly dance moves on our third date 😀 Boom!!! In his view I went from girly and silly to sexy within less than thirty seconds! So I know and agree that most dancing is sexy (and there’s no dance that flows better and accentuates a woman’s figure like belly dance).
What I do not always get is the attire, not in the tapdance video you posted, not in the 80s ugly aerobic revival of Eric Prydz. I also don’t get your animé cuties, they’re not real women but painted comic pictures, how can they be sexy? In the Bollywood dance video though I see it, yes: hotpants, bare midriff, inviting hand gestures etc. That along with lingerie, thigh high boots or cleavage is cliché sexy, and that’s the only kind of sexy I really get. Apart from that my husband had to tell me what he thinks looks sexy and what men like (he happens to be the first man I had sex with).
Different times had different ideas of what was considered “sexy”, but overall a slender pretty girl can wear nearly anything and still be considered sexy. Observe the tale of Marilyn Monroe and the potato sack:

How is it that a fat feminist can wear red horn rimmed glasses and look like a hell spawned demon yet those same glasses on a bubbly, slender and feminine woman are an instant turn on for a lot of men? Men are kind of weird that way, our tastes are as varied as the stars in the sky.
As for anime, well, they are just drawings, but drawings can be beautiful, sexy, scary – anything the actual THING can be if they are done well. It doesn’t matter what media the female form is captured in, capturing it elicits a response! Its one of the reasons Coca-Cola captured it in their bottles and one of the reasons suggestive imaging sells products so well. Whether stone or paint, whether the Goddess Athena or Bayonetta – do a good job capturing the form and men will flock to it.
“Men are kind of weird that way”
Even though I don’t get everything that turns men on and why it turns them on I started to believe actually that men are not weird but more simple than I had thought! Note that I’m not using the word simple as an offence, but merely as a description. In fact I began to appreciate men’s simplicity, I mean, when I show my husband some cleavage (cliché sexy) it’ll cheer him up almost every time while it costs me zero money and almost no time or effort. It’s that simple! Pleasing a woman or cheering her up is more complicated I guess. What I had to learn about is the non-cliché sexy, like in the tapdance video above, and also that it’s not always sexy that turns my husband/ men on. Sometimes it’s silliness or when I look fairylike, and a high-necked shirt can also turn him on as long as it accentuates my waist. Yes, that’s what my ignorance or misunderstandings are about actually, not the question “What is sexy?” but the question “What turns a man on?” I have an impression that there can be a distinction, but maybe I’m wrong.
Come on, the potato sack Marilyn is wearing is not unsexy 😆 it’s really short to begin with, and her pose is also inviting.
Yeah, “what is sexy” is subjective. “What turns a man on” is more the question a woman should ask herself. Or, rather, “What turns MY man on?”. Sounds like your man has a woman who knows what he likes. 😉
