Re: Sexiest Accent for Non-native English speaker.
Do you mean when they are speaking English or the respondent’s native language? Based on the conversation in your log, I think you meant to ask what people find to be the sexiest accent for non-native speakers of their language, but I found the wording here a little confusing. (I’m not sure I’ve done any better though.)
Edit: OK, the wording in the actual poll is better. I had only read your post. But you didn’t include American. So, we’ll still never know how sexy we are!

Is this so you know what accent to pretend to have when hitting the clubs around the world?

Re: Sexiest Accent for Non-native English speaker.
I'm a native English speaker, so I can't vote, but why aren't Dutch and German options if Norwegian is?

Being a native German speaker, I can't imagine that anyone would opt for a German accent. I like my mothertongue, but "sexy"? No.
As there isn't a Swedish option, I voted for Norwegian. Speakers of both languages have an incredibly cute accent, when speaking German.

Re: Sexiest Accent for Non-native English speaker.
I'm a little confused by the "English" option. Are Brits non-native speakers of American?
But I picked French.

Well, although my vote doesn't count, I find Dutch (bit biased since my fiancé is Dutch!) and German accents quite sexy.
For German, I especially love the w->v.

Re: Sexiest Accent for Non-native English speaker.
I picked Spanish.
Although Portuguese and Spanish are closed in terms of vocabulary, they sound completely different. Besides it's hard to dissociate the language from the gorgeous Latin American women's looking...
My second choice would be Greek.
