Pornography and It's Influence

There were a lot of good points made in class. Something that was touched on briefly was the point that if there wasn't a market for pornography and if sex didn't sell, clearly we wouldn't see it as often. People are going to do what it takes to get ahead, it's in our nature, even if that means making money off of sex. Rather than shaking a finger at the advertisers and the adult industry, perhaps we should be dissapointed in ourselves for looking longer at the advertisement. And if the adult industry and sex in advertising is so derrogatory to women, why does this gender perpetuate the idea? Here's a suggestion. Clothe yourself. Clothe your daughters. It starts with you. I haven't seen them all, but I'm willing to wager a generous amount that any woman's magazine has similar advertisements. Not that I am complaining. I'm a 25 year old male. I love it. Honestly, a scantily clad attractive woman holding a bodyspray, sandwhich, or whatever else is not going to make me buy that particular item. Though I can guarantee I'll notice the ad.
