What attracted you to read this article? Was it the headline? Doubt it. It was probably the sensual image, right?
Sex appeal is a very effective method of advertising and I just confirmed the efficiency by luring you into reading more about it through the illustration. Somehow, many people have come to find the idea of erotic marketing entertaining and enthralling. In other words: sex sells.
This is a key form of advertisement for distasteful businesses to attract consumers to their product, even if it is not even remotely related to their merchandise.
For example, Carl’s Jr. promoted their Spicy Burger by casting one of America’s hottest sex symbol, Paris Hilton. Wearing a revealing black swimsuit she drenched herself in soap, and rubbed herself against the car as she licked her fingers.
Does that sound like a commercial to you?
It’s unclear what they are trying to advertise until the last couple of seconds where she bites into the burger, but by then most viewers are too mesmerized by her swimsuit and heels. Somehow that commercial was effective in getting the message across: buy the Spicy Burger.
People wanting more flooded Carl’s Jr. Websites which, in effect, caused a server crash.
This was a huge success to the company and they continued this idea of marketing by hiring Audrina Patridge to be their new ploy.
This example proved that outer beauty can be considered a gift but misusing it can lead to consequences. For example, men and women are objectified to fill expectations in the public eye. Allowing this to happen and becoming desensitized to such a serious issue will only bring the values and morals of the society down. This will cause people to become brainwashed to the idea that being superficial and seeing each other in sexual terms is acceptable.
Media consist of many parts such as magazines, television shows and movies, but one fraction that’s hidden in the dark is pornography.
The influence and impact it makes in our society, especially the teens are overwhelming.
Besides the deception and unrealistic hopes pornography may engrain in young minds, it can also encourage viewers to see men and women as objects ready to do their will rather than human beings.
Hilton and Patridge sold their bodies and that is all the viewers saw them as. The chances that a teenager or even a child may befall upon the commercials are highly likely considering Carl’s Jr. executives polluted popular adolescent television shows with their ads. This early corruption can lead them to lose respect for one another and instead treat them in terms of how they might provide each other sexually, which is how rapist perceives their victims.
In Arizona a study showed that neighborhoods with access to porn had 500% more sexual crimes than those that did not, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The line between sexual consent and rape is clearly thinning.
A statistic that hits even closer to home states that the majority of high school boys thought that raping a girl he was planning to marry was considered “okay.”
I would hope that couples who feel ready for marriage would be respectable in each other’s personal boundaries and choices. But according to the survey, most teenage boys would rather disregard their soon-to-be wives preferences and rape her.
It may sound harsh but that is the truth. Everyone is manipulated some way or the other by the media and the intensity of publicized sex appeal is piercing deeper than ever into our minds. But letting that influence take hold will only fan the fire of sexuality. The ideas will increase rapidly and spread which will only cause higher crime rates and negative views of each other.
To me the view of sex and sexuality is sacred. It is not something that should be thrown around casually and used to arouse people into buying burgers. Rather, sex is the union of a husband and wife and is the greatest expression of Philos love, not Eros.
However, I realize that some people do not have the same system of beliefs as I do and I’m not trying to impose but rather warn that the authority of sex people allow on themselves will prove damaging.
