WOW
That last ad is wild. I'm not even really sure what I think about that one. However, I think the Gucci ad does bring up some interesting issues. While, this is the US and not Europe, our "hush-hush" views about sex may have created some serious social problems here at home. These attitudes that reject the beauty of a nude body or sex allow for negative attitudes that are psychologically harmful to surface. For instance, many people have said, and will still say, that the vagina is dirty or that it is wrong for a woman to enjoy sex. This leads to women partaking in unnecessary and many times unhealthy practices to "clean" themselves, or women who go their whole lives either sexually unfulfilled or ashamed of their sexual pleasures. Now most people on ths message board may not be facing that reality. I believe many women today are sexually secure and are unconcerned w/society's views. However, some women are still inhibited by these attitudes. Anyways, I know this is just 1 ad and probably not that important, but maybe if we were more accepting of sex and the human body it would reduce some of our sexual crimes, or abortions amongst young, unmarried women, or any of the other several issues that are facing US society.
Just My Opinion Folks,
