I like a nice soft spoken Jordie accent like Nell Macandrew or Jane Middlemiss. I used to have a regular 3 times a year visit to do a job in Newcastle University, and the female North east accent is so inviting.

I'm torn between "Italian speaking English", "Welshman speaking English" and "soft Irish accent".

Hmmm - have to go for a gentle Welsh accent as found belonging to the Manics.... :cool:

Certain Scottish accents always work like a charm on me. Also certain Irish accents do too. I'll just bunch them together and say Celt.

But I hope that my post conveyed what my favourite accent was..

There are so many Scottish accents it's impossible to just say "Scottish".
Sexiest from a woman, a very very posh Glaswegian. Yes there are such women about.
Mega sexy.

That's so very true.

There is a world of difference between a harsh, broad Glaswegian accent and a soft, lilting, almost musical, accent from the Western Isles. The latter accent is almost closer to a soft Irish accent than those of Central Scotland.

I think if I wasn't from Edinburgh, I'd really like an educated Edinburgh accent - but as it is, I can't really hear it as an accent as such - it just sounds like the natural way to talk!

I don't know about sexy as such, but the Isle of Skye accent is a joy to listen to. Whereas Glasgow :gag: - sorry but there's no such thing as 'posh' Glaswegian! :o :)

Another vote for the Western Isles of Scotland and like Muddycoffeee I like the accent of the girls from Newcastle.
If I'm really honest though I'd have to say I find most accents sexy especially if they're laughing at my humour and definitely not swearing with every fourth word when they do speak.

I voted the American accent (let's face it, it's beautiful - though I refer only to the West Coast version), however, there was no Spanish accent and that one is yummy :)

Geordie - but then my father's side of the family are all Geordies, so I'm biased to begin with.

But I'll also vote for Spanish.

Speaking American, there are several different accents, some like NYC or Chicago or Boston aren't particularly attractive, way too nasal. Among my favorites are South Carolina and Hawaiian women's voices. American Indian men have good voices

I hate strong Irish accents.. Cos I can't understand them, hence part of the reason I hated my time on AOhell back in 1998.. Because their tech support monkeys were Irish, and I couldn't understand what they were saying half the time.... :Then again it would still have been in double Dutch had it been in English IMO :loopy:

A sultry, smouldering, French accent [female] is an immediately arousing sound to me. French is the sexiest language in the world, the true language of love. A sexy Frenchwoman's voice should bring out the stallion in any hot-blooded, heterosexual man. Sadly, sexy Frenchwomen are in short supply in Sheffield [and Southport, where I am exiled]. I occasionally beg my wife to affect a Gallic accent and answer to 'Fifi' , but it is all futile pretence really.

I like most British accents, but Scottish is probably my favorite. Iain Glen and Gerard Butler are sexy. Robert Carlysle is good, too, except when he's doing an English accent. (I had to use the subtitles for "Once Upon a Time in the Midlands.")

So, not many people think American accents are sexy, eh? Obviously, you've never seen "The Dukes of Hazzard!"

It depends a lot on who you know who has that accent.

I never thought anything of a Glasgow accent until I got to know someone who works in our Glasgow office. I'm sure it must be her I like and not the accent cos its never done anything for me before.

Bizarrely enough I actually find a Birmingham accent quite sexy. Remember Birmingham accent is different to black country, which is actually quite a comic accent to my ears.

I personally think what the person says and how they say it has more impact on whether the accent comes across as sexy. Any accent can sound cheap and nasty in the wrong hands.
