Charles Panati. Sexy Origins and Intimate Things (1998): ''Thanks to photography and film, Americans have created and worshiped more femme icons than all previous centuries combined. Each of our decades has produced several new images. For the most part, men dreamed up these images and named them, and women have worked hard to copy their shapes and costumes. If there is a single attribute that most of these modern images possess, its "sex-appeal " - a relatively new and daring term in English. American men have categorized their women by sexual types and nicknamed them with suggestively playful tags. In centuries past, where a virtue-vice dichotomy prevailed, women came in only two types: good or bad , whores or madonnas, mothers or mistresses. ''
Charles Panati. Sexy Origins and Intimate Things (1998): ''The most popular explanation for the link between fashion and eroticism, and rapid changes in styles, is the sex-appeal theory, also known as the theory of shifting erogenous-zones . Proponents of the theory argue that the primary purpose of all womens fashion is the desire to continually reattract the opposite-sex . The driving force behind seasonal changes in styles is to arouse men sated by last seasons "look" to turn-on to a new "look." In todays sexually liberated and sex-saturated times, fashion is driven by the seduction principle. With so much sexual imagery in the media, men get sated quickly, and women must work hard to reseduce them with styles that continually shift the erogenous zone from breasts to bellies to backs to legs to hair to lips . Men, for their part, positively yearn to be reseduced, over and over again. All of this seduction, says the theory, is to fulfill the biological imperative to continue the species, even if the sexes thwart conception at every chance they get .''
