Sex All Over

Could you imagine sitting on the couch mid-day watching television with your younger sister or brother and suddenly a commercial about KY Jelly comes on? Awkward, to say the least, even at my age I feel completely uncomfortable observing this type of content in front of anyone besides a lover.  As Ad’s become cleverer in their attempt to disguise sexual wording and content it is more blatant then ever in today’s culture.  Sex sells, we all have heard the cliché, but not just the image of being “sexy” but actually “how to be good at doing it”, sells product. There is a pressure to have the most explosive sexual experience and a multitude of well-advertised resources on exactly how to get it.  Where is the decorum? What happened to love, marriage, then baby carriage?  On occasion in sexual driven ad’s it may be implied that the couple is married, but it is not in any way the standard.  The focus is explicitly about SEX and how to get the greatest possible pleasure. Kids see this every day, along with half naked ad’s with perfectly photoshoped bodies of men and women. It is no wonder we are all hyper-sexualized, yes I say all, porn is a 13 billion dollar industry in the United States. Many of us to do not watch it habitually, but more of us than you think have tuned in just to get an idea of “how I can be better at it”.  Sex ad’s are not to blame for increased teen pregnancy (which has actually declined in recent years), daunting STD statics, and the increase of people having premarital sex, but one thing is clear sex is not a taboo subject in the eye’s of advertisers. I suggest we all should get use to it and learn to equipped the innocent with the proper knowledge about condoms, KY Jelly, Viagra, because if we don’t the ad’s will.

I also ad these commercials make sure your youth isn’t around.
