From this search it would seem that in order for a black woman (and all other women) to be considered sexy, she would have to be clad in next to nothing.
The images that flash at us from the television screen scream a message to us; we MUST be sexy even when we are doing the most mundane activities. Products are peddled to us that claim they will increase our sex appeal if we use/wear/buy them.
We are not the only ones being given this message as the recent YouTube video of the Old Spice Guy has shown, however, it is most forcefully applied to us. We dress to enhance our bodies, put coloring on our faces to show off our features and purchase clothing designed to expose body parts that were previously thought of as private parts.
Why do we desire "sex appeal"? Are we hard wired to react positively to the urges that drive the reproduction of our species? Is it possible to be considered sexy, when we are fully and tastefully dressed?
