Oui, Y’all: Why Accents Are So Attractive
By Divine Caroline. Posted on .
A lot of it, Tamasi confirms, also has to do with exoticism. We're intrigued by that which is different from ourselves, charmed by the unfamiliar. A romp with someone with an accent feels like taking a walk on the wild side—a mini-vacation without having to leave our bedroom. It's different and it's exciting. It's not the boy next door—his accent tells you that much.
The Five Sexiest Accents
So which accents are the hottest? Sadly, there are no authoritative lists, as preferences are as individual as the accent-lovers who have them. However, a completely unscientific analysis of Facebook groups and online forums suggests the following five accents are most likely to get Americans hot and bothered:
1) British (RP, or "the Queen's English")
2) Irish
3) Spanish (from Spain)
4) Australian
5) Southern American (with a drawl, not a twang)
Disagree or care to add anything? Leave a comment … or better yet, leave a voicemail. Prrrrr.
