What is the definition of sexy?  I'm guessing men and women would answer this differently.  Being a straight chick in San Francisco, surrounded by frustrated straight women and gay dudes (God's great gift to women), and never particularly facile at "dating", I have little straight dude game.  I basically have ZERO idea what the hell these fellows are thinking about, well, anything.  Except, football, they seem to like that.  Oh, and there is some other "stuff" lore has it they all appreciate, but I'm in no mood to explore that in print. Oof.  I decided to crawl slightly out of my, ahem, comfort zone and delve into what might fall somewhere along the sexy spectrum, from flirty to bondage.  Given my often monastic and nun like habits (?!?) (the exception being cussing like a sailor), my sensibilities were occasionally tried in my hunt for all versions of hooch.  No way could I even hope to crawl into the "mind" of a man, a metaphorical jungle of terrors I dare not enter.  But I've seen enough Bond movies and CSI Las Vegas and Real Housewive episodes to take a shot at what the menfolk yearn for.  I'm guessing low cut, tightly fitted, short skirts, major cleavage, and most importantly the bondage heels, oh and MORE cleavage.  As one might image, there is a lot of black in this here post.  I figured if it makes an appearance in the second circle of hell, it might work here.  Just a warning however.  I believe that secretly EVERY woman wants an alpha male with "throw down" potential.  The fashions which lie herein might stretch your pocket book, so make sure that after you lure your bait into your den that the only feathers flying are metaphorical. 

 

(I've added the appropriate footwear.  The more "simple" the outfit, the more outrageous the shoes should be).

Low cut with a zipper......nuff said.

ALOTTA leather is A L W A Y S a good thing.  Meow.  But these pants are not near tight enough.  However, a woman with curves will fill these out and look smOking hot...
