spongeworthy

Attractive enough sexually

Spongeworthy describes someone attractive or appealing enough to be worth having sex with.

The term comes from a 1995 *Seinfeld* episode where a character hoards discontinued contraceptive sponges and must decide which potential partners merit using one from her limited supply.

The word now applies broadly to anyone deemed worth the effort or expense of a sexual encounter: He's cute, but is he spongeworthy?
