Sexy as Hell Inspiration

‘ Sexy as Hell ’ is a phrase used often enough , but what does it mean ? Is Hell sexy ? Not when depicted by religious literature it isn ’ t . In fact , it ’ s a place to be avoided at all cost . To be in limbo is not a teetering-on-the-edge-ofeternal-wrath-and-fire tightrope you want to be balancing on . Well , not if you ’ re a good boy or girl , that is .
So why does the expression Sexy as Hell make people twist a smile , twitch their eyebrows and glance sideways ? Is it because the suggestion that Hell is sexy is wickedly immoral , hot-toboiling point and holds hints of carnal desires met in the dead of the night when no one is watching ? Is it that it implies sex in its most primitive form , just the mating and satisfying of bodies without the emotion and the deeply committed love that Heaven sanctifies ?
Is the Hell in the expression simply a profanity ? Or maybe even a way to enhance the meaning of sexy ? If you ’ re Sexy as Hell are you more alluringly sensual than any other earthwalking human ? Do you have your own unique , blisteringred carpet to sashay upon and turn the head of the horniest devil and the most daring of lovers ?
Sexy as Hell can be interpreted any which way you want ; an expression of endearment , soul-aching ardour or unquenched lust . Take it how you want it , that ’ s the name of the game .
And that ’ s the game Zara plays . Living in a nocturnal world of depraved sex shows where anything goes as long as it feels good , she really is burying herself under a shroud of sensation
