You people are impossible! The list is endless. We haven't even scratched the surface.
But we've got to separate the erotic from the romantic. A fire is romantic. Everyone knows that. There are some things that are just totally satisfying to our senses, and they all seem to come from the natural world. Fire is one. Ocean waves on a beach is another. Natural landscapes, sunrises & sunsets. We're just designed for them and they fit our senses perfectly. They create a romantic mood, but they are not in themselves that erotic.
WSO, your attemtp to find a commonality to these things is laudable but misguided. If it were a matter of convexity/concavity then bowling alleys would be sexy, and they ain't. Their power is more complex than that.
If I had to pick what they have in common I would guess that it has something to do with mystery. In any case, they're certainly not universal for everyone. Ponytails don't do much for me, other than show a woman's neck (now that's sexy!), and I don't think there are many people who get off on chrome-plated bolts and screw-eyes like I do (although why does BDSM gear always use silver hardware? Because it looks good with black?)
How about city streets at 4:00 in the morning? sexy. At 6:00 in the morning? Not sexy. At 9:00 AM? anti-sexy.
Ranches? sexy. Farms? Not sexy.
Fruits: sexy. Vegetables: not sexy
I think 2 people in a car (man and woman) is inherently sexy. More than that, no.
Of course, sports cars are sexy; minivans are not.
We could go on and on. I want to hear from someone else though.
