Late Flowering Lust !

Steve Mcqueen did it for me. Must have watched Bullit a million times.

Daniel Craig
Tom Hardy

Richard Maddon especially in the Bodyguard the TV series . Also was in Game of Thrones. I go to sleep thinking of him sometimes ?

Tom Selleck!!

Glad to see, looking through the responses, that I have Alan Bates all to myself....doubly so as DH is very like him.... Lucky me!

Secunder Kermani, the BBC's correspondent in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Just the way he pronounces Kabul (the correct way of course) has me weak at the knees, and his adorable haircut, and.... With apologies to my long-term crush, Richard E Grant.

Colin Farrell. But he was born half way between my two daughters which makes me a cradle snatcher.

I must be strange as I don’t lust after anyone. I quite like a bit of good (75%) dark chocolate preferably with hazelnuts, though, if that counts,

I have to confess that, in addition to the gorgeous men already mentioned, I have nurtured a secret passion for Paul Simon since I was 13.(I am 68 now!) He isn't your average pin up, as he is extremely short and has had some truly terrible hair cuts, and I think that he probably wears a wig now. Or maybe he has had hair transplants. But his songs are so beautiful and his voice is soothing, and he has sad, soulful eyes. I would love to give him a cuddle.

I adore Aljaz , dancer from Strictly but my first fancy was John Conteh , 1970s boxer .

Richard Dawkins for me. There is something about a “silver fox” with a phenomenal brain!

Definitely Rege-Jean Page in Bridgerton, not so much when seen as himself in 'real life'.

I admire those with a decent voice. Sorry not cockney, Somerset or Welsh. Gorgeous mature Scottish lilt is perfect and in second place Irish.
Looks really don’t matter to me. It’s the voice and manners for me.
Oh I’m in heaven at the thought of this.

Stjepan Hauser one of the Two Cellos - if he smouldered any more je’d catch fire!

Widnesbabcia - I always thought that about Jack Nicholson, it’s the axe in his hand that’s a passion killer for me though!

Definitely Chris Hemsworth ?

James Martin
Richard Gere
Henry Cavill
Marcus from Gogglebox

Very hard to beat the young Elvis in his Army uniform !!!!!

Not everyone's choice I am sure... but Jack Nicholson has the most amazing eyes

James Krishna Lloyd who was in The Good Karma Hospital series is rather gorgeous.

... guilty secret.

I still lust after the late Peter O'Toole. When he was young that is.

I chose the title of this thread based on a very old poem by John Betjeman, as a bit of fun. My days of lust are well and truly over, and actually didn’t really begin to start with ? being blessed as I was with neither a pretty face or fair form.
I think it’s lovely that even at an advanced age, in our hearts we are still passionate women whose hearts beat faster at the sight of a handsome guy. I don’t think the thread puts us in quite the same league as some old perv in a raincoat with a bag of sweets trying to lure Sean Bean into a life of sin ?
The threads on here are for everyone, chaps feel free without censure or judgement !
I should also point out that if I was a lady whose heart raced for other ladies, it would be for Marion Cottilard, who is such a beautiful woman. I may not lust after her, but I certainly wish I had her looks.

Oh yes the young Elvis Presley. Wow.

What a nice, fun thread to make us giggle and take our mind off the awfulness in the world!! I always go for nice eyes, smile lovely manners, humour & wit. Here's my list:
Nigel Havers (those eyes and hair)
Tom Selleck (those eyes and shoulders!!)
Tom Cruise (gorgeous hair and nose!
David Frost (sadly no longer with us)
Alan Titschmarsh (beautiful blue eyes I saw him one day as he walked from the station...all the women were smiling at him. He is much better looking than on TV)
Idris Elba
Roger Moore (sadly, no longer with us)
Robert Wagner (oooh!!)
Michael Heseltine (yep! reminds me of my ex-husband who I still love!)
Prince Charles before his selfish behaviour with Diana.
Cliff Richards ( fell in love with him when I was 14 and he sang "Hello Samantha, etc... Gosh he was cuuute!!)

...............long list, I know! But there you are.

Soroptimum

^Old school - Paul Newman
New school - Mark Cavendish*

Oh yes, both of them too. I’m so fickle ?

My eye gets drawn to so many over the years but I always return to Harrison Ford. In his Indiana Jones persona I’d go weak at the knees.

There was also a time when I had the most ridiculous crush on Eric Cantona - even to the point of going to a football match just to see him in the flesh. He hasn’t aged well though.
