Referring to a nice horse as "sexy"...

[wildpoppywild]

i call my horses sexy lol!! i must be a freak or something. tht does not mean sexually attracted to horses, if u are u should maybe go see someone. do u ever say tht horse is gorgeous? or pretty? or stunning? its basically the same thing

i love my sexy beasts ha ha ha!!!

Must admit I find the expression a bit uncomfortable. To call something sexy implies a physical attraction.....

Of course it doesn't! I occasionally - even these days - see a young man and think "mmmm .... wish I was 40 years younger!"

And some horses ARE damn sexy - like my little boy.

My mares keep falling over the fence to get nearer when he goes past so he MUST be sexy!

i'm of the generation where sexy means 'i'd hump it'... so no... i would never refer to my horse as sexy. he is not a sexual being to me.

i've got a friend who refers to her (baby) son as 'sexy' and kisses with him as 'snogs'.... i find it very uncomfortable to listen to. x

Ah yes but you do 'ride' your horse dont you?

i do indeed... in fact, my most commented-on facebook status update was

'poppy is sitting on the muckheap ramp, all sweaty after a fab ride'... all of a sudden my pervy friends came out of the woodwork and made pervy comments... yet, i meant it 100% innocently when i wrote it!

I'm lovin this thread.

If I find a person attractive I rarely describe them as sexy, I probably say 'hot' although writing it down sounds a bit cringy and paris hilton esque!
I call my car sexy, I dont think it's weird to call a horse sexy though because I dont tend to use it for people although maybe it's those that do that find it weird??
I think of my horse as my little cute baby so dont really call her sexy

So is it an age thing?

I still stand by what I said about the mother and baby in the drs. Cringe worthy. But then I'm over 40, so is it an age thing?

Poss but you will all have to reveal your ages to find out or I shall do a poll if you like!

Do a poll

I think people are getting too worried about the word. So what if someone calls their horse 'sexy' I'm pretty sure it means they DON'T fancy there horse, as i'm pretty sure the majority of people don't! if it's something like calling a 2 year old girl or boy 'sexy' like others have said, than yeh, i'd find that a bit uncomfortable

 

[little_flea]

Why is it worse to call a baby sexy than a horse - surely the mother calling her baby sexy doesn't fancy it sexually either?

 

[ester]

for me prob just because I don't do babies bleurgh!

I have a poll, currently lacking in voters over the age of 40 which is going to make the stats rather unconvincing.....................
