well, the saying "sex sells" implies that you can sell almost anything if you larder it with sex.
so if people buy sex, you can sell things better using sex.
so yes, sex sells.

I think I can paraphrase:
"sex sells is bullshit, you buy sex"
I mean, you buy what you buy, sex can't force you to do anything. Everyone complains about sex being used to market things, but that is because people want sex.
Blaming sexuality is pointless then, people buy sex. Not the other way around.

people buy sex because it is being used to sell, therefore sex sells :)

The fact that people other than 12 year old girls buy Britney Speares albums is proof enough.

true but i think i know what blatant means, more like sex itself can't do anything, it can't do things like walking, selling etc.
so in that way it's people who are selling and buying sex..
..?
what the hell kind of topic is this anyway???
:P

well obviously.. following that rationale NOTHING sells itself.. which everyone should know.. it shouldnt have to be explained to pt alcove that these things/concepts/images don't actually go out and market and sell themselves.. it's just an expression
sex sells and lesbians equal ratings

you could be right
I just agreed with his rational that seems to say, instead of blaming sex, and the companies that use it to market, shouldn't we be looking deeper?
this deeper being that people want sex. it's not being forced upon them, they are asking for it, so blame the public for the sex in the media.
where these kids come from is beyond me, quotes just get passed to me.

> totally agree with you. : )
it feels to me that society has a weird point of view about sex... on the front, they hide that they like it, people wear clothes, showing genitalia is considered shocking, it's close to being "sex is bad" - - whereas on the back, people seem to seek for it more than anything else sometimes... maybe even more because it is considered as "bad"...
yes, we all know that, but isn't it a ridiculous situation?
one good example of that is hentai. the censorship in japan forbids the authors to show any (female?) genitalia, but they still make the characters do everything apart from that...

so, sex DOES sell.

Offcourse it sells. The marketingboys found easily how to turn on peoples hornymaker. It's sometimes ridiculeus how sex is integrated in a commercial just to show as half a tit.

if someone (a) is buying sex and nobody is selling sex then someone (a) is being silly
sex is good if you want to sell more of anything (britney was a great example indeed)
but sex itself sells great too
