"Let's start with what I don't mean by sexy," MSNBC's
Erik Lundegaard began his commentary on this year's sexiest sirens. "I
don't mean pretty. Sexy is balance. Cool and hot at the same time. Interest
and disinterest. It's not passive but it's not in a hurry either."
On balance, we can't wait to show you who's pricked our interest...
"One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy,"
gushed Scarlett Johansson when informed she'd won FHMs 2006 "Sexiest
Woman" pole. "I'd like to thank the readers for the huge compliment."
Our readers also get huge for Scarlett, but since she—and all the
rest of the "usual sex•pects" selected for the FHM Top Ten—have

a virgin: "Sex is for after marriage," she told GQ. "Men
have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means
they don't want me." So we left her out...
More than twice Adriana's age, fellow supermodel Elle MacPherson (p. 50)
is hotter than ever: "Listen, I'm single at the moment, so everything
is joyous and spontaneous" when it comes to sex, she told Barbara Walters
this May. "I have lots of people in my life." And she feels better

when she was younger: "I have to say I had an amazing body and I didn't
appreciate it," the Aussie Amazon admits. "I was all breasts and
legs and hair." Not to mention Down Under...
"Most women in their 20s aren't particularly sexy to me," MSNBC's
Lundegaard ends where we began jthe vast majority of our ladies are over
30). "They've got this stuff, and boys like it, and that seems enough:
