"How much is too much to show?"
I think the premise is flawed.
It suggests a direct relationship between stages of nudity and sexiness.
Just as the center for sex is the brain, sexiness on the part of the viewer and viewee
is far more a function of what's happening inside the brain.

Based on my experiences from working with females young and old, I believe that somehow the wiring got just a tad twisted. Have asked on several occasions 'what makes a woman sexy?' and was very surprised to learn from several older women here on Eons, that it is all about provactive dress, and whether or not men notice. There are pics of older women on here, showing way too much cleavage, mini skirts with wrinkly knees or striking suggestive poses. Loks pathetic to me. Trying way too hard.
The comedian Paul Mooney once said that "Elizabeth Taylor is the sexiest woman of all time without showing too much skin."
I think a confident person can wear a baggy sweatsuit and still be sexy.

SueAnn, I like your new profile pic. You did not show oversized breasts or wrinkly knees. I think you look pretty darned sexy. No blushing now.

Just between you and me, I couldn't show you any oversized breasts! LOL. (And thanks. <<blushing>>)
I don't think anyone has a right to judge someone else for the way they dress or don't dress. I had enough of that when I was a kid. I grew up in rags and was judged to be a rag muffin little no good.I wasn't good enough for anyone. I was that trash down the street. Then I got married and had expensive nice quality clothes and I was judged as being a snob. I wear concervative clothes and people say, who does she think she is and I wear a provacative dress and the women get all bent out of shape. So who are you (meaning anyone) to judge another? You know nothing of their life or circumstanses. That provacative dress may have been a gift from a loved one maybe their husband asked them to please wear it, or maybe that same dress wouldn't look so provative on you it would look boring on you so you are jealous. Woman are nothing but a bunch of catty witches looking for a witch hunt to put down whoever is looking better then they are. What a shame. a Sad shame. Maybe that lady in the provacative dress is witty, intelligent, caring, kind, and would help you in a second. Maybe she has morals and personal feelings like everyone else. Maybe she isn't out to entice but it happens even when she is dressed to her neck.
At least men are more honest with each other. Woman are vicious and it takes a lot of integrity before I allow one to become my friend. I don't judge my friends by how they dress.

Taylor, that is just not true. I'm sorry you feel that way. Women can be vicious, but in my experience very few are actually that way all the time.
Sexy, to me, isn't always something I can see.
I find some women sexy just by talking to them, and I don't mean dirty talk, just intelligence and humor.
I would rather talk to a woman with a good sense of humor than see her boobs.
As for dress and things visual, I think a woman can be very sexy without showing much, I have an imagination.
.....not that I mind a naked woman either.
But that's just one MAN'S opinion.
Taylor apparently this is a sore subject for you. We were asked for our opinion and that is what I gave, my opinion. To resort to name calling is catty and vicious. Just be yourself and try not to heat up everytime this subject comes up. I assume your comments were directed at me. It is okay, we can agree to disagree on this one and many more.
