Sex Sales?

Call me crazy…

I remember being in other countries that were indifferent about sexuality. Maybe I was just a kid and didn’t see those things that currently drive my finicky sexual desire. Maybe my parents and relatives shielded me from such things. Maybe most people who go around wanting to spread their seed to far reaches of the planet have no creative juice where I have plenty. Maybe I am a true moron when it comes to determining patterns, relationships, and I unconsciously know I shouldn’t procreate because of my stupidity. Perhaps the States has a closed door policy about sex. I think that door has been slammed in my face.

I walk along in my usual state of WTF and what do I see? I see a show called, “Sex in the City” winning awards for being provocative and sassy. We get to see Samantha orgasm over her rectum being licked. I can respect the tone of the show that quotes Cindy Lauper’s message back in the 80s - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (while keeping with responsibilities).

On the other hand, why didn’t “Porky’s” win an award? In “Porky’s,” we get to see Ms. Honeywell orgasm over the smell of sweat. I can respect the tone of the movie that Boys Just Wanna Get Laid (while learning valuable lessons in racism and boyhood stigmas). What I don’t understand is why didn’t that movie win the same kind of awards that “Sex in the City” did? What’s the difference?

Both shows have Kim Cattrall as a common denominator, so you can’t go wrong… or one might think that. It’s these indirect, conditional, adolescent, and creative ways that make people love or hate the very mention of sex. I am male, and I am tired of the competition, the advertising, and the indirect censorship of sexuality.

I understand fear is in everyone. Everyone wants commitment, security, and acceptance with someone or a group. That is a possible negative or positive reinforcement in all peer groups. With my example, I think sex is advertised with passive aggressive characteristics, and it does not sale well with me.

I see the inconsistency of who is awarded because of the deep meaning in television… wink, wink, nudge, nudge… [Butthead mentality] You said, deep… [/Butthead mentality] The off switch is the most worn of all on my set. I wish I had never bought the idiot box which is the very basis of my complaint, but who can avoid all of the commercialism in sex? The radio in my car, as I travel to work in the morning, tells me: “boys, for those women who say size doesn’t matter… they were wrong!” I’m comfortable with my length and girth, and so is every other woman that has used it. With all this nudging around, one might begin to ponder. It’s that same retarded twelve year old mentality of advertisement that makes men think women have to be anorexic in order to be on the sex chain! Perhaps it’s what I see. The clothing that women wear entice a man’s eye; however, she gets upset while we stare at the piece of clothing that already more than accentuates her C cup. My bad for looking at your ass while you wear hip hugger pants and with a thong strap in full view! I apologize to that classy woman that thinks all men are pigs because that’s all men do is stare; although, maybe men are sick of the ghetto fabulous sluts. We should get all our head out of our holes (lovely and accidental pun) and realize that we’ve been programmed into thirty minute segments. I await the laugh track as I stare at a billboard that tells me that I can “Super Size my meal for 39 cents!” while my brain tries desperately to rationalize why I keep receiving spam emails about breast and penis enlargements.

I think the problem is based from how sex was originally considered a dirty and senseless act. Now, this country is kicking into its adolescence screaming against the confines of new vs. old. It’s an internal war causing hate groups to rise and grotesque advertisements of sexuality. I will always admire the DeBeer’s message to the man saying a woman will love you forever if and only if the man gets her a diamond. This man wants a diamond of equal value, and I’ll use every bit of my sexuality to do it. I’m such a prostitute. It makes me remember an ex-girlfriend getting upset at the consideration of a Cubic Zirconia on her finger… but, wait! A diamond reflects her true beauty (via her severe imperfections); in her hasty objection did she forget that CZs are designed perfectly? Her superficiality is the main reason why I left her, and I didn’t have enough money to keep her. Damn.

If and don’t you ever forget if. I love how we censor the word “god,” out of expletive, “God Damn” on the radio and television. I love how we won’t show homosexual men hugging, but we get to see lesbians kiss on UPN and Spike TV at prime time. I love how romance novels appeal to audiences, but anything that asks my favourite question, “why,” is unreasonable. It seems that many forget why the Yield Sign exists.

Notice I am guilty of unyielding even in this post. I don’t like how advertisements and commercialism has affected my way of thinking. Even in disgust, the ways of the “what-if” world has affected me because I’ll remember an advertisement against my will.

So, WTF people?

What the hell are you talking about?

Sex in advertising… I’ll let you pick your theme.

Indeed. That’s exactly what I’m asking myself.

I killed my TV when my kids were born. I have only a vague memory of Porky’s and know of Sex in the City by overheard references. If I read you right, “WTF people” could be rephrased as “What is the common denominator in the double standards we choose to accept? Where’s the rhyme & reason?”

Dude, if I had THAT answer I’d…take it to my grave lest it get exploited further!

It’s a thinker alright.

I believe that the U.S. Department of Naughty Stuff will be announcing that sex sales will be up half a per cent in the third fiscal quarter.

The clothing that women wear entice a man’s eye; however, she gets upset while we stare at the piece of clothing that already more than accentuates her C cup. My bad for looking at your ass while you wear hip hugger pants and with a thong strap in full view!

I’m with you on this one. Lots of women dress like hookers and then get pissed off when they catch a guy staring. Why? Isn’t getting guys to stare at you the POINT of dressing like a hooker? It’s not like they’re doing it to impress women or gain respect or anything.

If a woman truly doesn’t want to be gawked at, maybe wearing a shirt that covers one’s tits would be a good start.

I wear modest clothes and still get gawked at, you pig! How could you!

Woman head games, my man, head games. We want you to stare, silly. We just don’t want you to know it. I honestly think some women are still learning our place in the world, we’re confused and it makes us contrary, and pissed to be so. Some chicks are fine with the constant bombardment of sex sex sex. Some are not. I can’t really say, I’m guessing. Sorry to not be any help.

9 for length
3 for coherency

Let me get this straigh.

Sex and the City showed Kim Cattral having her rectum licked?
I gotta get HBO.

Naw, naw. 8 for length, 7 for style, 1 for coherency.

Are you trying to impress me with your point system? If you are, you’ve failed miserably.

Not that I’m a fan of the show, but I think it was the redhead, not Kim Cattrall.

Since we’re talking about staring at women’s breasts when they are exposed to the world…I remember one time I went to Hooters with a few of my guy friends. I was extemely uncomfortable when I first got there. The breasts were so hard to ignore, and I was told to never ever let a woman catch you staring at her tits, lest you be yelled at and called a pig. Then I said, “Wait a minute, I’m in Hooters! I’m supposed to stare!”

Now, if I happen to see a woman with her cleavage right in my face, I’ll look at it with the assumption that if she didn’t want me looking at them, she would’ve worn a sweater.

Call me a pig if you want, so long as you understand that I am not a mindreader.

No, we are saying that you are incoherent and unintelligible. What is your point?

Yet you read the OP and commented on it. Why would you do such a thing if it was as unintelligible and incoherent as you say? Are you bored? Do you need something to do?

Yes on both counts. But the OP has writing skill.

Ilsa_Lund:
The true marksmanship on intelligence would say that he/she can be sparked into idea or serendipity regardless of what is put in front of their capable eyes. It seems you lack in that you cannot add to the argument, agree, or disagree; however, it seems that some members have found a point to speak. Flaming against something in which you are adamant is one thing, but flaming because you have nothing better to do shows your ignorance. Isn’t that what we’re here to fight? I’m sorry to inform you that your copious amounts of posts are not a measure of popularity; rather, they are a measure of your boredom. You have admitted to that. If this is a cultural difference, so be it. If it’s a language barrier, so be it. English isn’t my first language, so maybe that’s the problem. However, if you have nothing to add, by all means keep it to yourself. Now, let’s get back to subject of how the U.S. uses sex to sale and how it affects me.

“I am displeased with all this sex on television. I keep falling off.”
If the sexification of the Media is affecting you so much, then change the channel or shut the damned tv off. Unless you have a deranged loon with a gun forcing you to watch Sex in the City, then don’t if it bothers you so. If it’s the whole pervasive influence that sex has in society driving you mad, then you have two choices. Either go hide in a cave in the Andies and remove yourself from society, or join in the glorifcation of sex. Come on! It’s a hoot! Whoo hoo! Sex! Whee! Boobies! Rectums! Other naughty bits! What’s not to love? Jooooin uuuuus!
Boobies.

Hehehe… don’t get me wrong, Mac Guffin…

I do use the off switch - it’s the morn worn, remember? I suppose my reality is surrounded by more superficial aspects than I care to have. It could be a calling in my subconscious telling me to let go “to join you all!” and that’s why all the online (insert pun) pop-ups and media [et. al] I’ve mentioned bug my logical mind.

I have more than once considered having a home in the bottom of a tree away from people like a true gnome, so your observation is very accurate. I will add that I have a very lovely girlfriend in which we share a very healthy sex-filled relationship. So, I do believe in pre-martial sex in all ways… I won’t sit here and try to convince you that I am indeed a human being; however, I’m both equally bugged and intrigued by the world… :slight_smile:

Are you flashing me?
