It's a great question, as some woman exude beauty and others mere sexuality. In general all beauty is borrowed from God. The more in harmony a person is with God and the laws of nature the more beautiful will that person appear. A woman may have a beautiful face but lack inner beauty, so she has physical merit but lacks inner merit, such is life. The reason we appreciate beauty is that the beauty 'in nature' is a clue as to that which is hidden underneath and that which is hidden underneath is hidden in us as well. So actually, it is a reminder of our spiritual home within our Self, so we respond with joy, music is the same. A woman may appear more attractive sexuality because she pushes more buttons of a sexual nature, pretty simple. The buttons she has learned to push are designed to obtain your/and others attention for her sometimes egotistical needs be it vanity, relationships, etc. Woman are forced to behave this way in our primitive culture.
