It's an age old argument that has bedeviled sociologists for years -- is sexiness learned through nature or nurture? Cee Lo Green, the self-described "Ladykiller," put in his two cents Wednesday on 'Talking to Strangers' (Wednesday, 11PM on FUSE). Green told Kelly Rowland about how he was raised to be sexy.

"My mama, she was a trip, she wanted me to be sexy," he said, drawing out the word for emphasis. "My mama got me some bikini drawers." Green said his mother bought him several pairs of bikini underwear at a women's "pleasure party." "She brought me back a g-string with the little elephant tusk in it, the see-through elephant tusk with the little shaky eyes."


Whatever the effect of see-through elephant tusk g-string drawers on young men might be, it seems to have worked for Green. He ramped up the charm offensive on Rowland, saying he always thought she was beautiful. "I'm not everyone's type, but I'm somebody's type," he said. Rowland thought he was being modest, and told him he was a lot of people's type, and he responded with a flirty little footsy tap. At the very least, he seems like Rowland's type.
