Every step towards all round development, physical, mental and spiritual is a strengthning of sex appeal.

The statement above has a lot of truth to it but on no account must the basic physical element be crushed by emphasis on the other elements.
Men for example, in the main, are attracted by physical charm. In women, and may be replaced by intellectual ability, particularly when it takes precedence over physical appeal. Some men have met certain women whose profound studies leave her little time for anything else, in consequence she appears to be outside the stream of life. Here, however, appearance are sometimes deceiving. Many women of this type, outwardly lacking in sex appeal, nevertheless possesses extraordinary power of attraction when known intimately.

She takes off her other self when going to bed, she automatically transforms into an ardent lover whose warmth and zeal are felt as soon as close contact is effected. The barrier which the intellectual side of her life sets up then serves a contrast to heighten the pleasure of intimacy with her. All she knows, all she has read, reinforce her power to love and arouse love. That is why perhaps such women are outstandingly successful in their love lives.
Who has not heard adverse comments on the marriage of a typical intellectual woman to a handsome, alert man whose interests seem totally at variance with her? So far as appearance go, such unions seem utterly hopeless in every way. Yet they are often extremely happy. All of which goes to prove that sex appeal does not lie entirely on surfaces.
With personality, there are qualities which are immediately obvious so are seen by all, yet more important are the deeper qualities which are revealed only on closer acquaintance. The same is true of sex appeal. It has a surface aspect which is general; a deeper one which is individual.

It is a known fact that humanity can easily list some of the general factors in sex appeal. We know that some men generally prefer 'nice' legs, clear, smooth complexions, attractive hair, and so on, while women like impression of strength or of efficiency of men. But what of the values which lie deeper? It is completely impossible to asses them. Their appeal is not general. It is intensely individual. This is a point which is overlooked when competitions of the kind mentioned above are held.
Clearly, the balanced development of all elements tends to heighten sex appeal. Physical culture, elocution, cleanliness of dress and person, and all that helps to build physical, mental, and cultural power, in harmony, is helpful for those who would be successful in the real of love.....
