Complimenting the Looks of Arayot

Question

According to Halacha, is there any issue with complimenting the looks of people forbidden to you as arayot (like a man saying another man is sexy), or no? Do any Responsa address this question?

    Any compliment that has any kind of a sexual innuendo would be forbidden. That means that there is no problem with a man telling a male friend that he looks very nice, but he should not tell him that he looks sexy.
