There's a fundamental problem with the concept of 'cool' that causes blast-damage to the semantics of words around it. Long ago, the word 'awesome' actually described something that inspired a sense of awe. Now it's something people say when someone offers them a can of cold, unsolicited soda. 'Wicked' once meant 'evil'. Now a mildy impressive not-even-very-extreme-sports move, like a skateboard grind on a concrete curb is 'wicked'. The word 'sweet' once referred to something that contained sugar. Now an expensive car is a 'sweet ride'. In days gone by, one had to advocate complete and total social reform in order to be 'radical'. Later, all one needed was acid-washed denim and poofy bangs.

Alas, sex hasn't been an essential part of sexy for a long, long time.
