Soft Porn

Perhaps I am too old. I am, after all, a card carrying AARP-er. But the emphasis since Clinton's escapade in the White House on sex has increased enormously. When the Clinton scandal was all over the newpapers and television, I cut off our subscriptions to both of them. I did not want to deal with awkward and inconvenient questions from my young children. Now my children probably know more about sex than I ever will and I am still upset by the sex in commercials, in the news, on the internet, in magazine ads -- in short everywhere.

Humans were not designed to be bunnies. If that were so, we'd have long floppy ears and a pouf of a tail and go hopping about. We were designed to do more than fornicate or talk about manners, ways and how many fornications we had. I find it dismaying that the best minds in Hollywood and advertising are sunk so low. Ads for intimate lotions should be banned as well as ads for E.D. Those are issues that need to stay on an individual level between friends, between lovers, between doctors and patients. They should not be touted on the television by drug companies trying to sell disease so sell their product.
