10. Ahhhhh!!!!

NONONONOONONONONONONONO ....

A Cockney accent is to the English accent as the Southern accent is to the "American" accent.

Sheesh. Get your verbal hormones in order. :-)

30. There's also Manchester, Liverpool and others
The point is to be inclusive of English

The same applies to other languages on the list with many dialects

American can be Southern or Valley Girl

Don't be so picky!

3. I'm embarrased to say that a sexy Russian woman...
...could momentarily shake my devotion to my gf. I wouldn't cheat or anything, but I might buy the Russian babe a drink just to hear her talk for a while.

4. I voted Russian, but ...

I didn't really mean it. It's a particular variety of Russian accent common in western Russia that I find particularly sexy. Like the US, Russians have a lot of accents.

26. The accent of the sincerity of things to come
In our fantasies

All languages can sound crass or sexy
German is a great one
American is another
Spanish if it's nasal no, but if its throaty yes

so really it's the language of the senses and not the place of origin.

42. I love accents!
A deep American southern drawl where it they make a one syllable word 10 is one of only a couple I don't like.

I suppose it would depend upon the person speaking it. German accents can be nice, too.

My favorites, though, are the British Isles. English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish.

Most French accents are wonderful!

44. "Hello Dollink"
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 12:56 PM by RetroLounge
Biography: Natasha was a former Miss Transylvania. She is believed to be the love child of Axis Sally and Count Dracula, although nothing has been proven (blood work, yum). When she moved to the "New World" at age 19, she had a part time modeling job with Charles Addams and another popping out of cakes at stag parties. Although Boris has asked for her hand many times, she refuses to part with it. "Its my hand dollink, he can get his own," said Ms. Fatale

47. There's something about an attractive girl with an English accent
I think French and Russian accents are incredibly sexy.

But when I hear a cute girl speaking in an English accent, especially a well-educated person, it just sends me. The English accent would tend to make the speaker (to my ear at least) seem prim-and-proper, brainy, and distant, the very opposite of overt sexuality. There must be something wrong with me to find this combination stimulating. Or maybe it's because I was in love with Haley Mills when I was a child.

54. Icelandic has got to be it.
All the sexiest elements of UK and Scandinavian accents mixed together; and the fact that the utterers of these particular accents are invariably knockouts doesn't hurt either.

An Irish accent can be quite charming--but the current word is "sexy."
