Faith & Spirit Quote by Jensen Ackles

"I'm into a casual-dressing girl: blue jeans and a tank top is super sexy. But the sexiest thing on a girl - when I see it I'm like, oh my God - is these little tight boxers. Don't get me wrong, g-strings are fine, but those cover a little, to where it's just enough"

About this Quote

Ackles is selling an idea of sexiness that pretends to be anti-glamour while still being intensely choreographed for the male gaze. The opening move - "casual-dressing" and the all-American uniform of jeans and a tank - reads like a populist flex: attraction that isn’t intimidated by fashion, money, or artifice. It’s a familiar celebrity posture, especially for an actor whose brand leans approachable. He’s not asking for a runway; he’s asking for the girl next door, conveniently filtered through pinup lighting.

Then he tightens the frame. The "little tight boxers" detail is doing the real work: it’s specificity masquerading as spontaneity. The exclamation ("oh my God") performs authenticity, like the thought surprised him on the way out of his mouth. But the subtext is control - not over the woman, exactly, but over the image. He’s describing a preferred amount of concealment: "just enough". That phrase turns sexiness into an economy of revelation, a dial set to his comfort and anticipation.

The g-string line is a neat rhetorical hedge. "Don’t get me wrong" acknowledges a possible accusation (prudish, judgmental, old-fashioned) and swats it away. He’s not rejecting overt sexuality; he’s refining it into something that feels more intimate, more lived-in, less performative. In early-2000s-to-2010s pop culture, that preference reads as both backlash and nostalgia: a tilt toward "natural" hotness that still relies on the same old script - women’s underwear as a stage for men’s reactions.
