Haha, as Woty said, European Portuguese isn't exactly known as the sexiest variety out there, but I can see the appeal to an American - it's incredibly stress-timed with generalised vowel reduction (more so than in Brazilian Portuguese), much like English, but they tend to drop these reduced vowels altogether. That's why it gives us the impression that they're speaking with something stuck in their mouth.

It sounds sexy to me.
Portuguese won't be for a while yet, though. First come Spanish (working on it) and Italian.

I'd rather hear German and have my ears stuffed with shredded cheese than listen to that atrocious accent.
