Is construction sexy?
July 24th, 2010 by Talya Bosco
Sorry I’m late, we’ve been working on doing things in the basement, still trying to get all the leaks fixed (we think we did that) and get the place looking decent again (partly there).
But, I was thinking, we all think of construction workers as sexy. The thought of a hard bodied guy that works all day, using his muscles til they glisten with sweat. (We won’t talk about the reality 
) That has been used by many advertisers as well as romance authors – and that’s perfectly acceptable to me.
But is home improvement sexy? Or is it the fact that the construction workers are strangers and we can ogle them like they ogle women?
I find my husband incredibly sexy. The man works 50 hours a week and then comes home and sheetrocks/muds/installs vanities/toilets/sink, etc. Just the fact that he knows how to do this stuff and can do it turns me on. (Am I weird for that?)
I also love seeing his biceps
Any one else have a S.O that turns them on by doing daily or not so daily things? I also love when he helps around the house – but that’s a different blog. .
Doing the construction, actually, pretty much sucks. Hard work, seems like it’s always hot outside, heavy lifting, definitely dirty and sweaty. Mudding drywall, for instance: hard to imagine much glamour there!
But I’m with you – watching well-honed bodies at work? Definitely sexy and fuels the fantasies.

I used to love watching my ex clean the house. She’d reach up for something and her shirt would ride away from her waist, or sway down with the most graceful sweeps of arm & hair as she would pluck something from the ground. It was just.. elegant watching her body move. Mind you, she wouldn’t get in on ‘home improvement’ to save her life. That was all up to me.
However, I do agree. Biceps are delish.
I am always amazed that we can be excited over the simplest things in our partners.
Marcus – I hope you told her
. I love when my hubby says something about the little things exciting him. It makes me feel sexy.
