Also ads depicting sexuality are fine, but ads that are sexually objectifying people, turning their bodies into lifeless objects that can be bought and sold, those ads ARENT ok. Sex is about a connection between 2 people, not 1 person and a blow up doll barbie.

You’re post suggests that plus size girls should be more reserved and less sure of their bodies. The idea of the ad is ugly but these are incredibly attractive woman.

You shouldn’t be at a loss – adverts selling object associated with sex are sexist.

And the younger models, they can take all their clothes off and pose for these images because their bodies will never be as attractive as it is now, and they (like you and me) know it.

Religion is the most obvious, but probably a scapegoat for others. Victorian times gave use ideas that we developed and hold to this day. Media hype has also created an unrealist idea of sex – a lot of peeps feel inferior to this idea and react with disapproval to all sex. And something I might also think is that people are control freaks and don’t like sex going on in other peoples minds – they want to be the object of desire.

You and me and every other human have been given a imagination capable for creating much weirder and scary stuff than this. I’d trust you less if you hadn’t used it in this manner.

I agree that buying something because of these ads is absurd, but the images aren’t depraved ideas from media monsters.

I’m big enough question ideas adverts try to promote. They don’t make me think anything. They are not ready-made thoughts.

Many real-life girls create a façade to attract attention and desire (from men or anyone else). This has been the case since forever and wasn’t because of adverts for beer or cigarettes. It’s a human trait.

Woman are interesting, sexual, for men (and vice versa) and some of these ads are showing that and that alone. Not good for humans, but fine for shifting products.

But all of them? There is a difference between depicting a sexual lifestyle – the Calvin Klein ad – vs. making women into sex objects – Details, Che, Lee, and most of the other ones up there. There is an artistic way to portray sex. But giving people the impression that anyone – men or women – are only powerful when they have a sexy body, or offer sex to others, or can be used by sex is pretty inappropriate and sickening. All it does is tell people – youth especially – that they need to be sexy, popular, and a flirt to be powerful/successful. Thats it.
