Van Morrison said that girls get “dressed up for each other,” and never does that feel more real than when I get all dolled up to go out and Jason doesn’t notice. It is infinitely more baffling, though, when he finds me ravenously sexy in the morning. Maybe it’s the vulnerability or the naturalness of it all, I’m not sure. I can’t imagine that it’s the crusty eyes and disheveled hair. But whatever it is, this man finds me irresistible when I just wake up. It makes it hard to get out of bed.
I find him most sexy when he’s leaving, like when he’s going into the office for the day or heading out with friends. The moment before he walks out the door, I see him as others see him - dark messy hair, unshaven face, mischievous eyes - sexy as hell. He’s no longer the ridiculous man who didn’t empty the dishwasher; he’s mysterious and attractive. It makes it hard for him to get out the door.
The media would have you believe that there is only one way to be sexy; namely, that you have a perfect body, pouty lips, and bedroom eyes. But what we really find sexy is never as rigid as the poses in the Victoria’s Secret catalog. Sometimes silly is sexy; sometimes vulnerable is sexy; sometimes angry is sexy; sometimes messy is sexy.
If you’ve ever been desired despite (or because of) forgetting to shave, wearing sweatpants, crying all day, being sick, or whatever other unattractive thing you can think of, then you know what I mean. And I’ve learned that you don’t have to feel your sexiest to be sexy; sometimes it feels good to be wanted beyond all reason, and to give in.
Also, it’s our first half-nekkid thursday! We hemmed and hawed a long time about putting our images on the site, and then just decided to give it a go. Happy HNT!

Great photo - you look very relaxed……
Welcome to the hnt revolution!
Love the picture and the words…
Welcome to HNT!
I love the pic and glad i found your blog…
I love this post, especially the third paragraph. My boyfriend is most sexy when he’s fresh out of the shower. Smelling clean, glistening skin, damp messy hair and looking a little sheepish about sanding there in nothing but a towel. So sexy. Great post and I adore this picture. Happy HNT!
What happens to men in the middle of the night that results in the “morning wood” phenomenon? I mean, really. Historically MW has been a little piece of my own personal hell as I apparently am at my most frisky at night / zero libido at 8 am. Approaching 30 however is apparently an antidote to hating morning sex. (30 / flirty / dirty?)
Of course he thinks you’re sexy - who wouldn’t? - at any hour of day or night. I know it’s Friday already but Happy HNT anyway.
Thanks HNT’ers for your comments; I’ve replied individually on each of your sites. I’m blaming Thursday evening cocktails for my late reply.
Amorous Rocker: After a shower is another good sexy moment! That fresh soapy smell is at once sexy and boyish . .
Kate: “Morning wood” is probably more than we should tackle here; I’ll compose my numerous thoughts on the subject for a post next week. Thanks for the idea!
