What one Country or City do you associate with being sexy? Not the people just the place.
 
Canton, Texas.

It has the most beautiful and friendly woman I've ever seen and enough of them that they travel in groups.
 
Seattle. No, really.

I grew up in the LA area. I'm really quick to notice appearances; I don't judge people on them, but I simply can't help but evaluate the visuals. There were very pretty girls at my high school (one of whom is a famous actress now), and I went to a college that is a prime scouting ground for Playboy.

But I see more pretty women here in Seattle on a sort of "per capita" basis than anyplace else I've ever been in my life.

That said -- a botanist friend once said that living in Seattle is like marrying the sexiest, most beautiful person you've ever met, only to discover that (s)he is sick nine or ten months out of the year. The people here are sexy. The weather? Not so much. :)

She's not what she once was but the island of Tortuga,1645.

In a time when the world was being oppressed by everything and everyone that had even a bit of power, they were free men living a quick and wild life.

How wild? The french governor imported over 1,650 prostitutes just to help get ride of some of the excess energy.

Rum, Women, Sailing ships, a good fight now and again and the freedom to do what you want without anyone to tell you that you can't. Unless he was willing to bleed to make you do it.

Sexy? I think so.

Aaaaand we now see that I never learned to read. Sorry, you asked about city settings and geography and not people, and I gave you exactly the opposite.

I honestly think the LA/OC megaplex of Southern California is super sexy. I miss the weather. I miss the sunshine and the... well, as someone once put it to me online, the "fifty miles of opportunity in any direction on the compass."

I have to say I'm partial to Brazil. It could be Cuba but there's that communist thing.
 
That sir is suspect. Fun but suspect, suspect but fun!

Ask any Vietnam veteran about Bangkok and you will hear some wild and crazy stories. And from what I hear it's gotten even better.

The only city that beats it, and this is just my opinion, is Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. I lived there for several years.
 
In the USA? Atlanta, GA. Some of the prettiest women I've ever seen stroll around downtown in their business dresses and suits during their weekday lunch hours. You can have your heart broken at least five times in every block and understand why sheikhs have several wives. ;)

Internationally? Paris, France. French women are flat out sexy and less inhibited than American women; plus they have access to the latest fashions before they get to America.
 
I think I have to go with Santa Barbara. It's setting on the Coast, gorgeous weather and beautiful architecture make it an unbelievably romantic setting.
 
Definitely Nevada. The women there aren't necessarily that much, but they import them. You pay a fee, but you don't strike out.
 
Internationally? Paris, France. .
I have to agree. Paris is still a sexy AND romantic city. And not just because of the men/women who live there. Paris is where we imagine women crooning sexy French torch songs, Josephine Baker in her banana skirt, passionate impressionists, fierce women in berets fighting for the underground while having love affairs with soldiers on the side. Paris is wine and absinthe, musketeers dueling to preserve a lady's honor and bohemian lovers in the garrets.

Undoubtedly a rose-colored opinion there, but I do believe Paris still has got "it."
 
At the time when I was young enough to really pitch in and enjoy it,
Nottingham, UK.

There were more women than men and they were attractive.
The Beer was fair, the prices fairer. You could have a good evening there. . .
 
Most of the responses have been based upon the attractiveness of the people in general and women in particular of the aforementioned locations. To that extent, I would agree with Brazil and I would throw Miami into that mix.

However, the OP specifically stated "Not the people, just the place." That's a different question, requiring a different response. I would have to go with Washington D.C. Power is sexy, and the D.C. is the seat of power. As runner-up, I nominate Las Vegas--all that money changing hands, the all night partying, the "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" aura--definitely a close second.
 
Sounds like "had it." The Paris you describe isn't even in this century. :D
In this century France had a president whose wife was joined by his mistress at his funeral. ;) The spirit of a city can be erased by time, or it can be outside of time and remain. If, for example, one reads descriptions of those living in New York City written in the 18th century, they seem almost to be describing 21st century New Yorkers. The "spirit" of the city seems to have held on era after era, infusing its present population with the same élan as it did past populations.

My feeling is that the same holds true of Paris' sexy and romantic spirit. It seems to cling to the city no matter what changes, infusing new generations with it. :cattail:
