I'm sick of it. Firstly, it's part of a culture that tells us all sorts of horrible things about sex, beauty and gender roles.

Secondly, it's become unbelievably tacky.

Thirdly, it's lazy. Think of something funny or clever, don't just stick nekked people in.

Always a welcome opinion to hear in such a topic.

While it would be a welcome opportunity to study broader and varying definitions of diversity and beauty via their presentation in the media, I somehow doubt ads have any intent of representing reality. Though I would feel more motivated to buy products that kept to being relevant and factual in their advertising.

Laziness abounds in pretty much all media and I don't recall ever hearing any sane claims that the popular way of doing something is ethical. Now, were the product or service being sold BE sex, I'd feel such advertising would be acceptable and appropriate.

Overall it's just kind of insulting to see poor quality advertising like this. As though they're trying to say that people are too dumb to look for the things they want or to understand a product or service being presented to them, so here's an irrelevant distraction while they try to pick your pockets.

I believe in strong self control and not shading your mind with anything, in my life style there is no Alcohol, Drugs, Religion and extreme Self-control over sexuality and desires. I think everyone should try achieving a pure and clean vision of the world around them. And people who don't even try to, I do not respect.

Now tell me, am I entitled to have standing like this about this subject.

Quick question, what does that actually get you other than a sense of superiority?

Well, I just like to live like that, control my body and mind as much as I can. you want something more? A noble cause? Something deep? There's no nirvana in it, you wont achieve enlightenment or anything else supernormal of nature.
I mainly do this to prove to people around me that, a Finnish person can remain sober and clear minded even with the pressure of traditions and culture. I been standing beacon of hope for those who have wanted to quit smoking or drinking, I been there for them when they want a sober friend to be with. I have told them if they ever need help, my phone is with me always and I answer it no matter what the clock is.

Is that enough of a reason?

And why self-control of sexuality? Well to prove that it indeed is possible to achieve.

Commercials in general are bad. It doesn't matter if they use sex or some other method, like showing a big juicy burger in a commercial. Commercials appeal to our senses and use false logic yet we get plastered by thousands of them a day.
