The `Friends With Benefits` star - who is currently dating actor Justin Theroux - beat off competition from the likes of screen legend Marilyn Monroe, pop icon Madonna and Angelina Jolie, who raises six children with Jennifer`s ex-husband Brad Pitt, to top the poll by MensHealth.com.

However, the 42-year-old beauty admitted French actress Bridgitte Bardot and feminist Gloria Steinem top her personal list.

She said: "It`s a tie between Bridgitte Bardot and Gloria Steinem.

"But if I had to choose one, I`d say Gloria because, well, she`s the full package. That`s sexy."

The site added: "Funny is sexy, and Jennifer Aniston is funny. Her down-to-earth persona makes her seem attainable. And her all-too-human love life off screen inspires sympathy that not even a string of bland romantic comedies can diminish.

"Other sex symbols drift toward one-dimensionality, becoming flat icons in the process, but throughout her career Aniston has remained sexy, funny, and unmistakably real."

Meanwhile, Jennifer spoke out about what she finds attractive in a man and aside from great "abs", an "accurately sized ego" makes her tick.

She said: "Sexiest thing about a man-other than abs-is if he can make me laugh, has compassion, kindness, and an accurately sized ego."
