there is more intimacy (sexuality) in a wallet than in a naked body :)

The wallet is more sexually attractive than a naked body.

(Depends on whose body it is :)))

Ну а почему atrractive - выглядит привлекательней, ведь в оригинале интимнее?
Интимный - это значит не открытый для всеобщего обозрения, закрытый и т.п.

Да, так тоже можно интерпретировать. Но у слова "интимный" несколько значений, не только приведенное Вами. Двусмысленная фраза.

Имхо, устарел товарищ Болдвин. Я бы добавил like and instead of sex.

You will hide your fat wallet more carefully than your fat body ;-)

money is sexier than the naked body

some possible phrases:
his wallet was sexier than his naked body
i chose his wallet over his naked body
i love him for his wallet, not his body

i love him for his wallet, not FOR his body - that's Woman's nature. :)

you dont need to say FOR his body
when you say for in a construction like this one in the first part of the construction, you do not need to repeat it in teh second part
so, i love him FOR his wallet, not his body.
woman's nature - not sure. i think its man's nature (as in human nature)
and man's nature (as in men who think all women think money is important) :)

Посмотрите мои варианты.

1. One's wallet is the most private part of one's body.

2. Your wallet is your most private possession, more than any other part of your body.

i have been (for a long time) under the impression that most people participating in this forum are not serious when it comes to anything but actually helping with the question (excepting ST at times:))

Gogo - how do you know who's serious and who's not? Depending on the emoticons? :)))))))
