We can like sexy pictures and even porn, however, we must be sensitive to others' feelings. Without respect, we have animosity, chaos and even worst, wars. Hi Provestra

I like sexy pictures and even porn. :) But to use sex in advertising is way cheap, especially in billboard. These ad agencies should have respect to all groups of people. Yes, the world is getting more and more liberated, but at the cost of losing respect to others’ rights? There is a word called “ethics” you know. For some, sexual themes are offensive so be ethically considerate. Have respect. You can fxck a pig in your old private house but for God’s sake, don’t let anyone see you; some might puke.

Studies show that the most ambitious men tend to have a high sex drive. My point? well microsoft is big has ambitious guys what do you expect?

It hasn't changed - from the 50's to right now. I've seen it all! Don't ask me why 'cos I don't know. Perhaps just "human" ? But there are exceptions too - I've a lady in my list went furious over a "sexy" image I placed in one of my html newsletters-she threatened to unsubscribe! Nice read. It sure sells more than anything else.

There was a popular saying also: Nothing sells better than sex. Now when adding a sexual sensation could give a widespread audience to adds, why would the advertisers put their hands off from it!! The main reason of ads is publicity, now if that comes through positive marketing or negative marketing or sexual marketing , it hardly matters. :D I agree 100% sex sells.

Many women like to read the FHM magazine to awe at great bods. === === Hi Priscilla - The researching part is pretty interesting as I got to see lots of naughty ads. === === Hi Walter - You're right about Creative Technology. I don't quite get their ads sometimes. Thanks for the link, very much appreciated. === === Hi Anonymous Interesting perspective. Some might just argue that sex is not a basic need as one will not die not having it. Hi Bokjae - Sex sells for women too. Many women like to read the FHM magazine to awe at great bods.

The reason is Sex is a "Basic Need" According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, you need to satisfy the basic need before the other higher needs are triggered of. Therefore, wherever you are, Sex is something you cannot ignore. In short "Sex Sells". Afterall, marketing is about touching our emotions. "Long and Belonging" is one of our emotional needs. Be in touch. OHH “Sex sells” whether you are in Japan, India, China, USA, Singapore, or Norway.
