- - - - NEW YORK, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Valentine's Day is the one day of year, when all thoughts turn to the one we hold dear. Gifts of chocolates and roses soon turn to desire, as couples' hearts race with unbridled fire. And what makes their hearts "pitter-patter" with passion? Perhaps it's a glance at those hot, sexy legs! Just in time for Valentine's Day, the sixth annual Hanes Hosiery Sexy Legs Survey reveals that Cupid's bow continues to strike close to home. Outranking the top female and male celebrities, 31% of men find their wife/girlfriend to have the sexiest legs, and 32% of women believe their husband/boyfriend has the hottest limbs around. Baby Got Legs??? Though the hype has never been about her legs, actress/singer Jennifer Lopez took first place -- 16% of men and women find her to have the sexiest legs in Hollywood, bottoms down. Coming in second, 8% of men and women's eyes beheld the beauty of classic Hollywood starlet Ashley Judd. And hip-hop diva Lauryn Hill can add another award to her list, with 4% of men and women voting her to have the third sexiest celebrity legs. Fighting His Way To The Top... The sexy leg celebrity winner two years ago, Brad Pitt once again knocks out the competition with 10% of men and women surveyed saying he has the sexiest male celebrity legs. But who needs muscle, when you can shake your bon-bon to the top of the charts like Latin pop star Ricky Martin, who took second place, with 9% of the overall vote. And Brosnan, Pierce Brosnan, came in third, his legs preferred by 7% of those surveyed. Wishful Thinking... When asked which female celebrity's legs they wished theirs looked like, 13% of women voted for Jennifer Lopez, followed by a 12% vote for Ashley Judd. In overwhelming agreement, 21% of men wished their wife/girlfriend's legs resembled Jennifer Lopez's. Mirror, Mirror... Lack of a positive body image, or an abundance of modesty, is apparent when adults are asked if they perceive their own legs as sexy. 46% of women and 50% of men do not believe their legs are sexy. On the other hand, younger adults show more confidence in their legs' sex appeal -- 50% of men and women age 18-24 find their legs sexy. Picking At The Pieces... Men and women continue to disagree on which part of a woman's leg is sexiest. 46% of men found the thigh to be sexiest, outranking the calf, which came in second at 29%. However, with a 41% vote, women found the calf to be the sexiest, followed by the thigh at 18% and ankle at 14%. Look Sexy, Feel Sexy... When asked what they do to make their legs look sexy, roughly three out of five women (60%) say they wax or shave regularly, up from 46% last year. Most men, on the other hand, opt to feel the burn, with 51% of males saying they exercise to make their legs look sexy. Women, likewise, put their stairmasters to use -- 45% of females surveyed say that they exercise/work out to obtain sexier legs. Sheer Success... For the sixth year in a row, sheer hosiery is women's top choice of pantyhose to make their legs look sexy, with 62% of the vote. Thigh highs are worn by 14% of women surveyed, backseams by 4%, and fishnets by 1% of women.
