Up to 84 percent of women would like to change something about their appearance, most commonly enlarging their breasts and lips or opting for waist reduction.
"In 10 years, plastic surgeries will be as common as visits to the dentist, and silicone breasts and lips will be associated with sexual attractiveness," says Dr. Walter Rattcliffe, a sexologist from the American University of Berkeley. Some argue that this has already happened. Is the end of naturalness?
Unfortunately, the trend of embracing natural beauty has irreversibly passed. More and more women dream of plastic surgeries because they do not accept their own looks. However, a lack of self-acceptance is incompatible with a successful sex life. A woman obsessing over, for example, thighs that are too thick or breasts that are too small may find it challenging to lead a fulfilling sex life unless she finds a partner who not only accepts her appearance but also convinces her of her attractiveness. This, however, is quite difficult. Therefore, 42 percent of women admit to having sex only in dim light, and an increasing number opt for plastic surgeries.
Celebrities paved the way in this field. Hollywood, sometimes referred to as the "kingdom of cinema and sex," has long been inhabited by women who are either naturally perfect or, if you prefer, perfect products of plastic surgery. Lip augmentation, breast enlargement, fat suction, or rib removal for a slimmer waist are everyday occurrences in Hollywood.
Angelina Jolie, often considered an absolute beauty icon, admits to undergoing up to five plastic surgeries. However, she has complained in press interviews about struggling with the acceptance of her appearance. Hence, numerous surgeries.
"For a long time, I thought I was unattractive because what man would want to have sex with a woman whose breasts are not visible at all? I had to change that," the star recently confessed. Now Angelina Jolie does not complain about a lack of male interest. Lately, she has been seen with Brad Pitt, who, by the way, is also a frequent visitor to luxury clinics specializing in beauty enhancement.
Vicious circle
Demi Moore left tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars at these clinics, enchanting with a perfect body in the once-famous film "Striptease." However, her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, complained that he derived minimal benefit from it, if that term can be used.
"Can you imagine having sex with a person who is so perfect that they resemble a wax doll? It takes your breath away, and it's embarrassing to undress in front of her; that's how our life looked," said Bruce Willis when he divorced Demi Moore. It's not as simple as sexologists claim. Usually, one plastic surgery does not suffice. Women find new shortcomings in their appearance, creating a vicious circle. Breast enlargement or waist reduction is no guarantee of a successful sex life. It is crucial to accept oneself with all imperfections and beauty flaws.
However, this is difficult, too difficult for some people. Therefore, plastic surgery clinics can count on a constant stream of patients and significant profits. Monica Bellucci once attacked the entire industry, claiming that she had never undergone any plastic surgery.
"These clinics sell illusions of an immediate solution to problems, and that's not true," said Bellucci. "You have to be yourself, that's the most important thing." However, it's easy for Monica to say that. She has a body that can make any man fall to his knees. She doesn't need a scalpel.
Huge Turnover
Plastic surgery is now a massive industry with enormous financial turnovers. In 2004, according to The Economist, it exceeded $30 billion. Americans spend more on beauty-enhancing procedures than on education. Last year, over 10 million people visited plastic surgery clinics. Twenty-six percent of them were men.

What about the sex appeal of men
Men's sex appeal can have various sources. Often, it is associated with self-confidence and the way a man behaves. Self-confidence is attractive, and a man who knows who he is and what he wants is more appealing. However, sex appeal is not just about self-confidence; it also includes external appearance and behavior.
Physical appearance plays a role in the perception of men's sex appeal. Of course, it is not the only factor, but an attractive appearance can increase attractiveness. Whether it's a well-maintained body, distinctive facial features, or charisma, men with different looks can exude sex appeal.
A sense of humor is another element of men's sex appeal. Being witty and funny is attractive because it means that a man can lighten the mood and make others smile. The ability to laugh at oneself and be humorous is incredibly attractive.
Self-confidence, appearance, a sense of humor are just some aspects of men's sex appeal. But sex appeal is not limited to external features. It is also a matter of intellect, empathy, and how a man treats others. Being caring, understanding, and a partner who listens can significantly emphasize sex appeal.
It is worth noting that sex appeal is subjective, and what one person finds attractive does not necessarily have to be attractive to another. Everyone has their preferences and ideas about what constitutes sex appeal. However, regardless of how we define it, sex appeal is something that arouses desire and attracts attention in all of us.
Sex appeal in men can take many different forms and have different sources. It is a combination of self-confidence, appearance, intelligence, and understanding of other people. However, the most important thing is that sex appeal is something that emerges from within and is an expression of each man's individuality. It is an attribute that makes men attractive and undeniably alluring.
