Scantily dressed women in advertising, the confusion is over.

Was that a '73 Caprice?

 

The video is a classic. I like the music! The Caprice is hot too. LOL.

Sounds like you're on the right track, brainwashed....

 

I want to know more about the Mounting and Dismounting Service!

 

Some of them are cute, I guess. If they really wanted to get my attention, they'd put Katherine Moennig in a tuxedo!

 

I'm a lesbian, and I agree. Women in advertising/media = massive turn-off. But then again, they are there for straight men. Women don't sexualize things the way men do.

 

Haha, I disagree Creativemind, I think that sometimes women in advertising and the media can be a turn on. I don't necessarily hate objectification. I think we're all guilty of objectifying people from time to time. But good for you that you're confusion is over, OP.

It's more that the physical assets are unrealistic, exaggerated, and photoshopped in the media. I like a person who looks like an actual human being, not a pornstar. Having DDD+ breasts with a tiny, slim waistline is unrealistic to 99% of people (and if you're naturally like that, you should probably see a doctor as it is a health risk that shouldn't be condoned). Also, all the heavy makeup, fake faces, fake bodies, and just general photoshopped shit is pretty nasty and unattractive. Would be like seeing men that looked like body builders with pumped up steroids with 12 inch dicks all the time. It just looks stupid.

I have been physically attracted to women before, but only random, average looking people living their day to day lives. The conventionally attractive look is disgusting to me. It's not that objectifcation is bad, It's just that the women are so ugly and painful to look at.

 

Women never look like that at the tire stores. The OSHA required steel toed stilettos make them walk too funny and it is not that attractive.

On a serious note. I do agree that the photoshopped photos portray an unrealistic expectation of the desirable traits in both men and women. I don't find this particularly sexually stimulating. Now, a true athletic body, impossibly perfectly formed as a result of relentless training can be amazing and just as difficult for most of us to achieve. I do objectify those individuals...so ashamed.:dry:

 

Having just watched the M&S Christmas advert over and over after discovering it stars my favourite actress Janet McTeer, I find myself compelled to agree!

 

I would like to say I don't objectify, but I nearly had a wreck passing a bikini car wash once and I don't think I could defend the argument. I agree that photoshopping is totally gross though.

Side note women can be very visually sexualizing as well, I'm not convinced of the standard argument that women don't like visual simulation. I think there in some repression going on involving society's expectations. As women continue to gain more freedom and financial equality I really look forward to seeing if there are significant changes to the ways women express and engage in sexual desires.

 

Well, those photos were hilarious.

On the objectification thing. Idk, I find myself being kind of piggish with women. Like Bunny says, I'm not buying the "women aren't visual" thing. I definitely look at a nice backside or body and think some things. Sometimes I wonder if I'm sexualizing women because they're so sexualized, but I think hot people are just hot and when you see a hot person you're attracted to, you think of sex. We're animals.

 

Hmmmm....judging by the responses, I think I might be more asexual oriented than most lesbians are. Maybe demisexual? I hate that word, but I do feel out of place in most lesbian conversations. I do not find women physically appealing or attractive at all. I find women to be plain, and same with men. So I've never understood how anyone could find someone hot or attractive to look at. People just aren't.

However, I have felt sexually attracted to women before. Three women in my lifetime. They were all my best friends of 6 months, 2 years, and 7 years respectively. I loved how close we were, how happy they made me feel, the support, the shared interests...and that caused me to want to date/sleep with them. lol I started to find them good looking after that, but I never found them hot when we first met. However, despite the attraction to emotional connection, there still is no attraction to men, no matter how close they get. I think my lack of attraction to men has more to do with repulsion toward penises and not wanting to be penetrated by one or touched by one. So I can never find men attractive in any circumstance due to sexual incompatibility issues.

 

It depends on my mood and how bad things are that day. I'll usually have a mixture of jealousy towards hot girls, and attraction. Which one is higher depends on my mood and emotions. My degree of dysphoria definitely has some effect on my thoughts too. It's complicated, in other words.

 

I definitely agree with the 'women aren't visual' thing being a myth!

 

Creativemind,
I think it's beautiful how you are attracted to women. There's something really emotionally pure about it. I'm glad we have our differences, and that there are people like you in the world.

 

Ummm.... There's a whole reoccurring peice on Autostraddle called NSFW Lesbo Sexy Sunday, that is nothing but sexy ladies. Wacking could possibly be a central idea this column is based on. LOL Women are told so often from junior high up how they are supposed to look, dress, act, and feel about sex that many women just go along with it. Men experience this to a lessor degree too. I was just talking to a pretty progressive friend that I've know for a long time. She said, "You know I grew up and I alway thought that this was just the way the world is. You have to watch how you dress, where you go, who your with. Until recently I really never questioned it." All of us, myself included have thought like this at some time about something.

Wow who knew bikinis and cars would get so deep. Scantily dresses ads were definitely confusing to me too at one point. Thank goodness that's over!
