But even though she turned out to be completely unfaithful and unsatisfying to Jude, I always found her more interesting than Sue. Arabella had a much more raw and carnal sexuality about her. And a coarseness, too, signified at first by the pig's dick.

Another vote for Neil Stephenson's Eliza here (Smart IS Sexy....pre-pox, though!)
Lady McBeth (gotta love a woman who knows what she wants & isn't above bullying her man to get it!)
Jessica Rabbit (gotta love a woman that's not bad...just drawn that way!)
The chick from Heavy Metal that rode the pterodactyl

Julius Caesar as depicted by Shakespeare, Richard Burton, the hottie in Rome or of course himself.
James Bond and to be more precise: Sean Connery or Daniel Craig.
James T. Kirk
Any of Carey Grant’s characters
Bic Benedict
And weirdly enough, I kinda have a thing for Professor Snape.
Madam Bovary
Lady Chatterly
Bathsheba
Any of the heroines from Jackie Collin's books
Any of the heroines from Dion Fortune's books

she's an author but writes about herself,
Xaviera Hollander

Don't remember her name, but the heroine in the book, Searching For Mr. Goodbar.

Lucy, from Bram Stoker's Dracula

Does a Goddess (e.g. Aphrodite) count as a literary character?

I was having trouble sticking exclusively to literary characters. Most of my life has been lived in an era of movies & TV, so literary characters have come alive.

And we think of them in terms of how they look on the screen. So, if I can leave the strictly literary, then the world opens up.

I never read anything about Lara Croft, but mmmmmmm, she would definitely be a choice. But in reality, it's Angelina, and not Lara.

And I agree with Olivia, the best Bonds by far are Sean and Daniel (BTW, Daniel co-starred as a villain in one of the Lara Croft movies).

So, I think the question becomes: do we stick purely to the literary, or can we expand to those who have portrayed the literary characters? I don't know the OP very well, but from her other posts, she seems to be targeting literature and not necessarily portrayals.

Happy Diver - Thanks

CT, I know what you mean. It’s hard to pick just the character in film. I mean would I want to ravish James T. Kirk if he wasn’t William Shatner?
Phineaus from "A Seperate Peace"
or
Holden from "Catcher in the Rye"

I've recently been reading Stuart Woods' novels and I'd have to say I'd like to swive just about anything one of his protagonists, Stone Barrington, beds.
