What's sexy to me is an internal, from-the-gut reaction that's so intensely personal, I'm not even sure I can do justice in describing it. Plus I think my idea of sexiness constantly changes over time. But I'll describe the most recent man who caught my attention.
I'm a fan of the show Dancing with the Stars, and this season has featured a celebrity dancer named J. R. Martinez. I wasn't aware of him before the show, but I really sat up and took notice of him the week the dancers had to tell a personal story through their dance. His dance routine was dedicated to the U.S. troops who were killed in action and never made it back home. He's a 28-year-old Hispanic man who served in Iraq and suffered burns to 40% of his body in a landmine. His performance channeled all the heartache and pain of his wartime experience into an emotionally riveting dance. I simply couldn't take my eyes off him.
His face is very scarred and somewhat distorted, and he's not the type you would typically associate with sexiness. But to me, he represents positivity and optimism combined with humility, which are all very sexy qualities. He overcame his own private despair and became a motivational speaker. He has a genuine personality, a sharp sense of humor, and is very articulate. It doesn't hurt that he also has a good body and a keen awareness of his body image, which translates into being an awesome dancer.
Yeah, I'm a big J. R. Martinez fan for now. Ask me again in a month and I may be focused on someone completely different!
