Sex kitten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sex kitten is a term that typically refers to a woman with sex appeal. It often has a connotation of sexual aggression.[1]. The term originated circa 1958, and was used to describe French starlet and pouty nymphette Brigitte Bardot, who appeared in the 1956 film And God Created Woman, though a term similar has been used as early as ancient Egypt when people would refer to their partners as kittens. It has also often been used in association with Ann-Margret[2][3], star of the 1964 film Kitten with a Whip. However, it does not always describe the youthful.[4]
