A sex symbol is a famous person of either gender, typically an actor, musician, model, teen idol, or sports star who is in the “Playboy” or “Playgirl” Magazines. The celebrity “star system”, the tabloid papers, paparazzi, and gossip talk shows, play an important role in creating and sustaining the public perception of which stars are viewed as attractive.
These media industries are in turn sustained by a strong public demand for sexually alluring photographs or footage of celebrities, including both posed, scantily-clad publicity shots for magazines like Maxim and unauthorized beach or nightclub photos taken by paparazzi with telephoto lenses.
