Here's Webster's take:
Attractive -
1. providing pleasure or delight, especially in appearance or manner; pleasing; charming; alluring: an attractive personality.
2. arousing interest or engaging one's thought, consideration, etc.: an attractive idea; an attractive price.
3. having the quality of attracting......

Absolutely... I still find attractive to be a much better word than sexy.... what is lacking in your argument is taking not only into consideration the definition, but the connotation and the context.

I don't think you have either. From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks....and pretty much all you speak about is "giving this flesh the beating it deserves"......"life is not about having fun"......ad infinitum....

Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?
We have become intoxicated with entertainment and "fun".
Show me where the Bible instructs us to have fun, as part of our Christian walk.
There are a multitude of verses where we are instructed to be soberly minded.

Same could be said for "sexy"........one of the definitions for sexy is "appealing" or "glamorous"........same as attractive.......
