The sudden aging process of JM never affected my Spike-lust. In fact, it kind of worked for me in season 7, when tien ah did I need some sort of consistent growth in the character. The lust was briefly shaken, however, during Lovers Walk when I noticed that his skull is shaped like that of a ferret.
On a somewhat related note, I always liked Xander (in the sense of Xander, c'est moi), but he didn't get physically really appealing to me until NB got heavier. The eerily sculpted hairless muscle thing does nada for me; add a cute soft belly, though, and I'm a goner.
I love Xander, but I can't ever get hot for him..not that I find him ugly or anything...just no ping.
Quite all right, erika, we'll take care of him for you.

I think that's the point of Xander (despite the fact that he still manages to get people hot). You look at the character (NB's utter handsomeness aside) and don't go gaga. If Xander walked into your life and was as Xanderlicious (showing up as calvary-with-rock to beat frigging Angelus), babysitting your little sister, loving Willow down from destroying the world, and able to repair your house, week after week, you'd never not jump him.
Xander is the husband of 25 years that still makes a person feel like she's on her honeymoon. Some of us just aren't there, yet.
Also, remind me to ask Kristen or Monique to dig up the picture of NB at the beach, in the ocean, with an open shirt, and wet clothing, and oh so very lickable that you'll never look at Xander the same way again. ijs.
For erika..

Nick--wet, but not the one I was talking about
Okay, in the picture I'm talking about (if anyone knows where it can be found, please post), Nick is wearing some sort of shirt (not a t-shirt). I think it's red. I think it's transparent. It may have very thin velvet trim. He's soaking wet, probably in the water.

Heathen!

You mean the picture where it looks like he's wearing some sort of dark long-sleeve sofa cover? And yet still looks damn fine? Totally *THUD*worthy.
Scoff if you will, but the episode where NB always gives me a "wow, that boy is hot!" is The Pack. Xander's not really Xander then, so maybe it doesn't count as Xander lust. NB lust? Or maybe I just have a secret thing for bad boys. Slo-mo goodness.
I thinkt Pack may well be the exception that proves the rule. For the most part, NB played Xander as nice and funny, but not really sexy or vibey. Take also his performance in "the Wish."
Did I tell you I saw NB shaking his booty at the Viper Room, Narrator? With his twin brother at his side?

Yes, yes, yes. Waning days of the Bronze, maybe Kristen posted it for you, or for Monique?

You're a meanie.
