sexiness
Raw magnetic attraction
Sexiness is the quality of being sexually attractive or appealing.
It can describe physical appearance, behavior, voice, or attitude—anything that provokes desire: There's a certain sexiness to confidence.
The word extends beyond people to things with allure or excitement: the sexiness of a new sports car, the sexiness of startup culture.
What counts as sexy varies enormously by era and culture.
