Cliche: Telling us how sexy someone is.
Show us how sensual a person is.

| From American Photo, Nov/Dec 1993 | . |
One day, I got ice cream with a male friend. Conversation lagged while we enjoyed our treat.
He closed his eyes and swirled his tongue
around the scoop, licking and sucking at the cone. I nearly orgasmed from
watching his mouth relish the smooth, cold, silky cream. He was entranced by
the flavor and simply abandoned himself to the sensations. If I hadn't already been thoroughly besotted already, I would have fallen just from watching him get into the moment.
A few years later, I showed my book hero impressing my heroine by
his firm, assured handling of her classic muscle car, a 1966 Ford Shelby. This car model boasts 350 horsepower and went from zero to sixty in 4.5 seconds. This is the kind of automobile that easily could be pushed and pushed hard. I almost had the hero gunning the engine, squealing the tires - basically pushing the ferocious engine to its limits. But wait.
I remembered how my friend’s un-selfconscious pleasure seduced me. I wanted my character to seduce the heroine by showing how he handled power, by showing that he had class, sensuality, and stamina. I wanted her to be intrigued by his ability to unleash this magnificent automobile's potential with a long smooth ride, not something rocky, jerky, and way too short.
Don't just describe your sexy person. Show us what about them turns on the observer.
