The Bachelor Vs. The Bachelorette
20-06-2008 17:42:37
I love the Bachelor, it is so much fun. I love watching the cat fights and the women acts like mega whores to get the guy's attention. They all dress provocatively and are in dire competition to get the man's heart. The dynamic is great, full of fun, sexiness and sluttyness, that makes great TV.
I am a woman and I love watching the women being trampy, why? Its just damn funny, that's why. Women together are naturally great for television because we all have been raised as each other's competition.
We all want to the the prettiest, the funniest, the nicest, the smartest and therefore, we compete with every other women to be the best. men are raised the same but they are more with teamwork. The team has to win, the team has to be the strongest, maybe this is due to the physical team sports that men play.
Maybe its due to the construction men who work in a group and all are equal. So when you pitch guys against guys, there are no egos there, there is no sluttiness and no competition. The Bachelorette is a really dull shoe.
I even gave it a a try, I watched because I liked Deanna but I could not get into it at all. I juts don't care. the bachelor is sexy, the bachelorette is not. The sex imposed on the bachelor is so in your face, the Bachelor, well no one wants to see Deanna going around the circle like a chain bang. that's just porn.
In the end, the female version is much better because when it comes to sexy competition, women win hands doyen every time.

Selling to Women by Using Women
27-05-2008 23:46:00
If you have ever waltzed into a porn store or a sex toy shop, you have surely noticed the packaging of the materials. The sex toys for women have the same appeal as sex toys for men. Both packaging methods use naked or nerly naked women. Some have a picture of a naked couple embracing in a sex act. This has always made me wonder, why do they use the same methodology to sell sex toys to women and men?
Nowehere else will you see this, or nowehere I can think of right now - except perfume ads, refer to the post below when I talked about that. Even the perfume ads are sexy, not provacatove. To sell a vibrator, they have a naked women with big implants. Do women really want to see this? Why on earth would they plaster this all over their vibrators? Why are they verging towards slutty and not sexy?
If I were the manufacturer of sex toys and released a vibrator line, I would put a waterfall or tropical scenery to make the women think that the vibrator will take them away to an orgasmic oasis, away from the stress and hustle and bustle of every day life. The packaging would be nature - like and fresh. I would not really appeal to much to sex becuase many women are more inhibited and want to to be more a of a discreet experience as they buy sex toys.
On the other hand, masturbators have the same packaging a young college girl pulling down her pants and straing back, for example. Why do the sex toy manufacturers use nudity to sell to women, and not really regular janet jackson style sexy nudity, but raunchy sexual nudity. I think that they do this becuase these women are porn stars. They are sexually uninhibited, free and ging as they do now, That is the best way to sell to men, that's not deep psychology, everyone knows this. Check out the packages of sex dolls to see what I mean, these are the same women that are selling vibrators to women! Does that not go against all teachings of sexual advertising? Why would you push the unnatainable in the face of regular everyday women?
Here are a few examples of sex toy packaging that tagets towards women: take a look at this vibrator is an example of adult sex toys packaging to show you what the inspiration for this entire post is about. The big breasts are definitely fake and she has a provavative, slutty air about her. Maybe they are selling the way she feels so that we can feel sexy as she looks.
I'm sure that the sex to companies have studied and researched a long time to discover which packaging sells the best, because when you walk into an adult shop and see the rows of brightly colored packaging with much nudity, it really does attract attention, like this rabbit vibrator for women . Maybe I would fail when I sell sextoys!
Shopping at sex toy stores online, you don't usually see the packaging, only the the product that is there. I'm sure that somehwere along the line thse companies care becuase even though they are alredy millionaires, they still have to sell products to keep the cash flow coming because even though the sex toy industry is huge, there are a great number of competitors, other companies selling the same products. I've also seen 70's style packaging that does not attract any attention at all, it is completely outdated and old fashioned. The biggest guilty company of this is Doc Johnson sex toys. They have the worst packaging, but only recently have they changed to make it more current with elegant nuidty from sexy porn stars, not mullet-headed porn strars from 1970!
I thought about the over exterted sexual undertones of selling sex toys to women and it does make sense when you think about it. Sex toys are the most sexual thing. The porn stars that grace the cover of our favorite rabbit vibrators are sexy, even though they are totally fake. When us women look at these packages, we know that these women are very sexually open and they feel good. They have good sex.
By buying these rabbit vibrators, we can feel as good as they do without having all the sexual partners. Buy sex toys to feel good as the porn star women, but keep your legs closed to the men. It's not a bad compromise, by spending some money, we can experience porn star quality orgasms and feel as good as they do. We can imagine ourselves in their glorified, ultra sexy shoes!

Can sex in advertising backfire?
21-05-2008 18:40:00
We all know that the average size of woman is much larger then what we see in our advertising and on television. Here are the facts about the average size of the American woman . It's really interesting to note that the average model size is quite different, here look at these stats: average size for super models . There is such a big discrepancy here, it's almost sad to see this! No wonder our young girls feel so much pressure. No wonder some older women loose all their self esteem and feel hopeless and pretty much give up by giving in to fast food urges and eating unhealthy amounts of food.
Now this brings up my next thought, why does sex in advertising not backfire? Don't people protest what they see? When you are a size 14 and you see a size 2 model selling you shoes, with extra long shiny smooth legs when you have cankles and heir stubble? Why would buy these shoes? isn't that like worshipping what you see?
I really wonder about the psychology behind all of this because women,en are not dumb enough to think that if they buy those shoes they will be sexy like the model. I wonder about the half clothes ads in some of the really risque ads, do their sales drop because larger women feel bad about the ad? It rubs in their face what they are not. they are not skinny, and by seeing this, it will wreck their self esteem, by re-in forcing what they should look like.
Another possible though is that the woman's boyfriend or husband sees these pictures constantly on brings home this ideal of what she should look like. When a man watches porn and sees perfectly shaven naughty bits and big breast implants, then he looks at his girl who is hairy, small and oh-so average, how does not really like it as much, therefore his sex drive might go down. Or, is it the opposite if that does he see porn stars, does he get really horny then go home and take all of his sexual urges out on her? Does he pretend he is with the model or with his girlfriend/wife?
This is such a big gray area, there are do many ways that this can go. The effects of nudity ripple down really far into many facets of relationships and life. Can it all be good? There is no way that these affects can be good. Somewhere along the line, someone somewhere muts be protesting all this nudity and too much sexiness and boycott certain products.
Do agencies think of these things when they decide on their advertising strategy?
Look at Reitmans, they go for the average women, pretty, not to skinny, not too fat. I bet their ads pay off big time, sales must be so high because they make the average women feel sexy, not bad about the skin they are in.
maybe the Retiman's ads will cayuse a push towards better bodies models in advertising. maybe it all starts with the winner of Top; model who is a full-figured women. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a new revolution to have real women model and sell us our shoes and perfume because we do not like to feel fat and ugly. Now that's diet food for thought.

Sexy Perfume
29-04-2008 23:54:00
Perfume ads have long used sex in their advertising. Perfume images display an aura of sensuality and when the manufacturers make these ads, they target the sensual side of sex.The sense of smell is a powerful aphrodisiac, it all begins with scent. We like the way someone looks, we get closer. If we like the way they smell, it's game time!
The sense of smell is so powerful that it can trigger powerful, memories and thoughts. By showing these images of sensuality, the perfume ads from advertisers make us think of a passionate encounter. By wearing this perfume, it ignites feelings similar to what you see in the images. These powerful effects are enough to put us under a spell, a trance. We completely loose ourselves in the sensual mood, wrap in a loving embrace.
Take a look at some perfume advertisement s and see how they use sex to show off their products. It works however, as the sense of smell really is an aphrodisiac. It is because if someone smells good, they obviously take care of themselves. they must be clean and tidy, a greta sex partner. It;s a primal urge to think this because these days anyone can spray on perfume and appear clean and tidy. Just put all the complexities aside and enjoy the sensual smell of perfume!

Taco bell is sexy?
22-04-2008 18:51:00
We love to feel sexy! There is something so fantastic about feeling sexy, we feel like queens, top of the world. All eyes are on us. We are desired and thought about. We see this in advertising every day. Especially the Axe body spray where the guy sprays on the scent and women come running'. Are we really this gullible? Some men might believe this, of course the the ad is totally exaggerated, like a cartoon or action movie. We know that it is reality stretched.
But then we think to ourselves, if the commercial depicts women running at them in throes with desire, lush and passion, it might be true to some extend. Women must love the smell, or why would they put up that ad? I believe this too, why would they say something that's not true? But then think about it this way, is there such thing as a body wash or body spray that does not smell good? No, of course not! If it smelled bad, it would not even make it out of the testing lab onto our store shelves!
The advertising really does work in this sense. You do not see Superstore having ads for good smelling body spray that attracts women and adds sex appeal. So when you shop; for cody spray's you reach for the axe spray which smells good, according to the commercials. The other stuff smells good too, buy you don't grab it because you did not see it on TV. Look at that analysis of sexy advertising!
My best study is the new taco bell commercial. It is the same, the lady is at a bar with her friend and she has a bacon chelupa in her purse. the guys come flocking other, she is sexy and desirable because she smells like bacon! It's the exact same concept as the Axe commercial, a scent makes the members of the opposite sex completely under your sexy spell. But doesn't this seem odd that the men are attracted to the smell of bacon! That's so silly!
I think they did this commercial just for funny factor, so that we talk about how silly it is, remember it then go for a bacon chaplua. Women do fall for the sex marketing like men do but I think that women respond to it differently. We already know that men flock to us, that's no sec ret. We hold the key and all the power so why do we need it to be even more? We respond to women in sexuality advertising. A sexy women we raring a sexy dress will make us want to buy that dress so we can be sexy like her We don;t care if men flock to it because we are sexy, we KNOW that we are sexy already, why need more? We want to look like THAT woman who is sexy.
Men like us no matter how we smell. We like to smell mysterious and erotic, not "come and get me". The Taco Bell commercial uses sex to sell in a very funny way and it completely work,s it's my favorite commercial on TV right now and it worked because here I am talking about their product! Who would have thought that taco Bell would use sex to sell in their advertising!

In a nutshell...
17-04-2008 17:21:24
I found the perfect article about sex in advertising. It talks about the primal instinct of sexuality. Why does sex sell? It's because sex is the strongest psychological appeal right behind self-preservation, I have no ida what that is so I looked it up: The definition of self preservation is to protect yourself from harm. I guess that makes sense because you can't have sex if you're dead!
To have sex means to procreate and continue your genetic line. It is stronger for men then women because men need to spread their seed to continue their lineage. This is why sex appeals more to men and therefore, sexual ads target men more then women. The reason that sex ads target women is to present an ideal of what they want to be. To se sexually desired is great and women want that, so ads that present of image of sexiness are good for women because they think "if I buy that product, I will be sexy like that model". What is funny is that common sense knows that this is not true. Let's study the Axe body commercial. Do you think that young teenage men think that if they spray the body spray, they will be irresistible to women? Of course not, we are not that gullible - or are we?
The primal urge of sex overtakes all others, except the self-preservation. Even though common sense says that we do n ot actually believe these sexual things we see in advertising, instinct prevails and these advertising methods actually work, because if they did not work, they would not be employed. Check the article about sex in advertising here. It breaks down the simple sexual needs that we are aware of. men need the woman to be young, healthy, willing. Women require the men to be successful, powerful and healthy. Think about this and you easily see how sex in advertising targets these basic human sexual needs.

Top Model Under Fire for Nudity
16-04-2008 23:46:00
There is a big upheaval about a recent Top Model airing that depicts too much nudity. If you missed the recent episode, check the Top Model Under Fire for Nudity article released. They claim they are pushing the envelope while the counter says that it is juts like going to the beach.
I don't agree at all, unless you are going to a nudist beach, but this show is aired primetimes when children watch. Mind you, this is not a children's show at all, but they channel flip just like other people do. The show is popular and fun, all about the fierceness of being female, and being sexy. The Model industry is about nearly nude but it is broadcast only on certain channels at certain times.
Nudity and modeling go hand in hand. there are two separate augments and schools of though on this topic. Here I will explore them now:
1.) The human form is like art. To pose the body in a ballet or dance is art. To wrap the body in sheer material in an artistic way is both provocative and art. It;s erotic art, a common and long studies art form. It tantalizes and spurs sexy and erotic thoughts, but it;s art. Think about he Michelangelo statue, he is nude and it's art.
2.) The other form is pure smut. To have a naked woman posing is acceptable because its "art" when in fact is is smutty light-core porn. The only reason that a person would pose nude is to attract men and make them buy your video or magazine spread. It is for sex urges only, nudist is for sex, not art.
Either way you think,the debate could go on forever. i will not compare the differences any longer because every persona has their own opinion - but I will leave you with mine. I think that nudity is art but it has it;s place. It should be on late night television on showcase so that it appeases everyone.
I do not want to see it splashed in my face because it ruins women's body images if themselves and causes men to desire other women. Nudity has it's place and prim time broadcast TV is not the place.
