So, yes. I am, once again, restricting the poll to *females*. I know Scottish is horribly sexy on men (rrr, Sean Connery), and I do say go ahead and share what you think is sexiest for men in a post, but I figured poll-wise, just women, since they're not necessarily the same.
What do YOU think is the sexiest way of talking for a girl? I'll come right out and say that, as far as I'm concerned, the single sexiest thing on earth is a cute-but-not-gorgeous girl speaking with an Irish accent. Rrrr.

I did, indeed. I know. I grouped all of Southern USA together, too. And I left out Canadian, too. Only 10 options allowed, so I had to sift. I do really like Scottish, too, but Irish is just so muc sexier in a similar vein that, err, I got distracted. aranoid:

Nice! I was just thinking about this this morning!!
I really like an Irish accent, but, specifically, I really love Femi Oke's (she's on The Take Away - NPR show) accent. Her voice is sexy, calming, and fun all at the same time. Other than her, I don't really care for a British accent.
I don't care for a French accent. Some Australian accents sound hickish.

Eastern European accent is killer. Asian is the least sexiest.

For men, my accent is sexiest.
For women, whatever accent a woman has when she is talking about me.

I find this whole thing incomprehensible, as I've found all accents (or lack thereof) to be equally sexy.
Yes, including the six year old in bible school accent.

Spanish including south american? All those accents are very different. I love to hear woman with spanish (from Spain) accent but I hate those with argentinian accent.

Lately I've been digging the Indian accent of Reshma Shetty on Royal Pains. Actually, it may not be pure-Indian, maybe a mix of accents? I don't care, I love it.

Actually no, it's not. If you want to find the purest form of English, accent wise, you need to head to the American Mid-west. You'll find people there speaking English without any sort of accent, though it's not as common in some areas as it is in others. It's referred to as General American and it's what is generally taught to people learning English as a second language both inside and outside the US (except in England.)
The form that most people associate with the English folk is Received Pronunciation or Oxford English, which is considered socially advantageous in some parts of England, but not outside of it.
Also I vote Eastern Europe.
EDIT: Didn't even notice @Li3n's post. DOH!

Dude, there's no such thing as a lack of accent... this is noticeable when you speak another language...
Oh, and adding to my previous post, the scotish are british too, but not english...

Psst... there's no way british people should sound... you're thinking of received pronunciation (the Queen's English).
ok I'll give you that, there aren't much brits who talk without an accent either.
And we learned the Queen's English or something close to that in school

I mean, I find youth and innocence to be just as attractive as the next pervert, but you gotta draw the line somewhere. Six year olds? Nuh uh, definitely not.
Now I'm dropping this topic before I'm tempted to go into an in-depth discussion that might end up violating Rule 1.
Yeah, this poll is a massive failure without including something like Russian or Serbo-Croatian (my favorite). I've only known a few Serbian and Croatian women, but a few seconds of them talking makes something in my brain liquefy. Bosnian doesn't have the same effect. Go figure.
Rocky and Bullwinkle. They really want the moose and squirrel.

I'd have to say the sexiest accents are Scottish, Irish, and Russian. I was very close to dating a Russian girl while studying abroad, but ended up (happily) dating a Canadian girl.
Least sexy is probably Asian (Japanese in particular kills it) and/or French.
