Double Standard for TV Advertising on Male and Female Sexuality

September 18, 2010

Advertising for products that enhance a man's sexual arousal are rampant on TV these days.  But guess how the TV networks are reacting to ads for a product to increase a woman's sexual pleasure.  They are freaking out and running for cover. 

Here's the NY Times story that says a lot about the double standard our culture has about male and female sexuality.  Women's bodies are displayed everywhere as sexual stimulants, but talking about women's own sexual pleasure is to scary for mainstream culture!  Wow.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/14/business/media/14adco.html
