Why are attractive people's actions misinterpreted as sexual gestures moreso than unattractive people?

Purely a subjective question.
But why do you think we are more inclined to interpret the actions of an attractive person as sexually themed than an unattractive to average looking person?
There was an old study, I can’t recall, that prompted this question. Do attractive people have any effect over you that otherwise wouldn’t exist? For instance are you more likely to associate with them, purchase items from them or, as the question asks, misinterpret certain gestures as sexual in nature?
To what do we attribute this interpretive illusion?
