I love discussing this, because it's so interesting how your background, or where you grew up affects which words you find sexy. My American ex-GF used to find the word knickers hilarious and silly. She would say it in a mock-English accent: "knickaaaahs!"
But for me, growing up in England and hearing girls say things like "we just saw your knickers!" like it's naughty, made me unconsciously learn the word "knickers" as something feminine and taboo, and now I find it sexy. It became part of my sexual makeup.
In contrast I associated the word "panties" either with American drama, or with British porn where women try to be very sexy by talking about "my panties...". I didn't initially like the word that much.
But it was that one girlfriend who just seemed to use "panties" as a normal word for underwear that made me get turned on by the word. Hearing her Northern accent saying "They were my favourite silk panties" still gets me going.
