One thing you might notice when you first visit France or many other countries in Europe is that they have a much more liberal appreciation of sex. Pornography is not contained in lowly adult book stores but is displayed on public television.
Would it shock you if I said the United States is not far from that? We display sex in a different but just as public way. Countless ads in magazines and on TV show men and women wearing sometimes less than nothing.
This media is based on the idea that sex sells. America is now even dealing in homoerotic advertising as well. Gay vague, as it’s called, is being utilized by clothing companies as a way to break through the cluttered media.
So what is worse? Displaying sex for what it is; or using it as a beast of burden to persuade the public to buy things?
