I don't know why but as Franknfurter he exuded an ambiguous sexuality that was a real turn on.

I think this was the first movie that I was aware of seeing him in and I was absolutely attracted to him (and I was still quite young). So that would be a major "yes" to being a female fan of his that was attracted to him in fishnet stockings and heels, lol.

You are not alone. Most of the people (guys, girls, gay, straight) that I've talked to about Rocky Horror have agreed that it is one of the sexiest roles of all time. It's known as a "gender-bending" performance, and I think that's why it's so appealing to everyone.

Oh, I feel so much better now! I thought I was a little bent. I've always thought Tim Curry, Eddie Izzard, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Guy Pearce, and Hugo Weaving were tres sexy in drag. I wonder why that is?? Do we see them as less threatening, or is it just the risque look??

I have no idea why, but there's just something about Tim as FrankNFurter that is just insanely sexy. Hearing him sing, watching his facial expressions (like the slight eyebrow raise), and just watching him move in that movie makes me want to scream. Especially the look on his face when he says "It's something you'll get used to, a mental mind beep can be nice!" He owns it, and he just has the attitude. I don't know. I just cannot get sick of it.
I just watched an old interview with him on The View from 97 I think and the woman said "If you were the Devil, I would pay to go to Hell." Hells freaking YES! As would Ias long as he did not look like Pennywise lol -

I agree with it possibly all coming down to being risque, owning the role, oozing sexuality (which may have been the case in RH regardless of what he wore), and more.
Additionally, it may also have something to do not with what he's wearing, but what he isn't wearing. wink -

Not weird at all. He was deliciously naughty in that role and had everyone creaming for him. Im a lesbian and still was hot for Tim, even with all that hair which I normally find disgusting. Has anyone watched Ferngully? Tim does the voice of Hexxus and sings toxic love. Just another prime example of his oozing sexuality. His voice alone melts people, but as frankenfurter he was oh oh oh oh so goooooood.
