Sex kitten

A sex kitten is a woman who exhibits a sexually provocative lifestyle or an abundant sexual aggression.[1] The term originated c. 1958,[2] and was originally used to describe French starlet Brigitte Bardot.[3][4]

Ann-Margret was described as a sex kitten in the 1964 film Kitten with a Whip.[5][6] A sex kitten is not always youthful.[7]
