Do you wear clothes with the intention of provoking a sexual response in the opposite sex?

I'm not talking about wearing a top that happens to show cleavage or tight jeans because they are "cute", that's what you happen to have available, or most clothing that fits you is that way. I'm asking whether you wear such clothes to TURN ON men (other than your significant other)

I voted single and no.

However, I do like to look good so it might turn men on.
You don't have to be blatantly sexy either. Once I went to a bar dressed conservatively and couldn't believe the attention I got when the other girls I was with wore typical bar (ho) clothes.

I don't think I fit the options you have. I dress the way I feel, if I'm feeling sexy then I'll wear something that makes me feel sexy. I don't do it to get attention from men, in my experience men will stare at you in pretty much anything LOL.

Yes, I'm aware of what I'm wearing and I think I have a pretty good idea of what men "like"...well some anyway.

I know you stated "tight jeans" don't count, but I started wearing skinny jeans because of the overwhelming positive responses I received from my husband and other men. My husband would prefer me to look "hot" than conservative, or even worse...frumpy.

I buy & wear fitted shirts and dresses that show off my figure. I don't necessarily show off a lot of skin, but I don't need to...it's implied.

And I just so happen to love high heels & boots that drive men wild. I must be doing something right when my girlfriends tell me they went out and bought specific boots/heels because their husbands loved what I was wearing.

So yes, I try and dress to be appealing to men, but I do it in a subtle way. (And my husband isn't complaining! It took him years to get me to this point. )

I'm married and voted "sometimes." There are times when I dress more conservatively (like when I go to the office) or for utility/comfort (all-day shopping trips, exercise). I think I look feminine and not frumpy, but I don't think I look particularly sexy. For example, I went to the office yesterday and wore black trousers, a white button-up shirt, a grey cardigan with flowers on it, and my good black loafers because I had to go up and down stairs several times. No skirt, no heels, no cleavage. I do wear skirts when it's warmer, but I keep the sexy vibe low to nonexistent where I work.

Other times, particularly when I go somewhere with my husband, I turn it up because I want him to be proud that I'm his wife.

I have a BF, and I voted no. I think you can dress nice and not look like a bar fly and not to conservative. I was taught, leave it to the imagination and that you don't place all your goods in the the window, you want someone to get to know the shopkeeper...lol

I always dressed sexy, even i was single or with a partner...well especially when I am in a relationship. I consider that you can dress sexy without being vulgar. I voted yes,regularly with a partner

I'm single so I do dress sexy alot. Plus I hit the gym 5 days a week so I like to show my hard work off. However, I go either sexy on top and jeans or sexy on bottom with top covered. Unless I'm hitting a hot club, then I'm all out, lol..

I always try to look good when I leave the house, but it's for me. It's not in the hopes that someone notices.. I just like looking good. If someone notices and gets turned on, that's on them.
