Look at pinterest, flickr, other models, magazines, etc, and take example from them. Every time I see something I like I save it to my computer or bookmark it.

Direct your attention to the choice of model rather than the choice of pose.  If the model feels what you want the photo to portray, the photo will work, but, if the model does not feel it, the pose does not matter.

Want it to look like Playboy? Subscribe to Playboy, see what are the elements that make it appear the certain way, then repeat it.

Same for GQ or whatever magazine that you like.

If your aim is to 'create an attractive sensual image and make the viewer want to be there' start with the model. On location shoots, not many 'viewers' are going to find the surrounding trees, sand, rocks etc 'attractive'. It's the model (male or female) that's doing the attracting and they don't lose those attractive qualities even if shot in a sewer in a really boring pose.
So the problem might be 'What is attractive?'

I'm not a big believer in poses -- I believe in movement.

If you want to go erotic, appeal to the sex organ between the ears -- leave something to the imagination.  Photograph the possibility.  Photograph the moment when you hear the sexiest word in the world ("yes").

I also agree -- start with a confident & sensual model, and encourage her to move.

Here's Olivia Preston:

She can look like the girl next door, or the sultry, seductive girl next door.
