I agree that our society is "promoting" aberrant sexual behaviors through pornography & the satuation of our society with sexual messages. Some people think porn has no impact on the mind, but I can't help but think if you are looking at child porn, for example, it loosens your inhibitions after awhile & increases your desires for that form of sexuality. It seems most pedophiles are into child porn.

If it has no effect on a person & his/her thoughts & desires, why do advertisers spend so much time trying to put images & desires for their products into our minds through pictures & tv ads?

I agree women are treated as objects in a lot of the ads & porn. Abercrombie & Fitch is trying to do that with men by having them posing in provocative ways. The whole society is putting too much emphasis on the physical aspects of sex, not the emotional components, such as an expression of love & commitment. I guess I'm too old-fashioned for today's environment.--Suzy
