What is the meaning of... 2009/10/21 23:31
What is the difference of 男性的魅力 and 性的魅力?

My guess is that 性的魅力 is sexual appeal. However, isn't sexual appeal embedded already in 男性的魅力? Or is 男性的魅力 the "sex appeal from a male"?

Well, if any japanese could provide more details about the both terms above, it would be appreaciated.

Thank you!

sex appeal and mannish appeal 2009/10/22 17:01
Hello,

isn't sexual appeal embedded already in 男性的魅力?

Is it? I suppose it depends on what kind of a male one likes. Or isn't sexual appeal and sex appeal the same thing.

性的魅力 is sex appeal, in other words, sexy-ness. 男性的魅力 means "mannish attactiveness." Of course, "mannish attractiveness" may differ depending on each person's preference, but for example, a man can be mannishly attactive by being handsome, strong and bold, but many not be the kind of a man that you'd want to sleep with.
