Response to Nicole's Question.

"Has the media gone too far with the sexual motivation?"

I think the media has gone too far with sexual motivation. Actually I think the media has gone too far with most things it reports. Especially with body image. I actually just went to an exhibit at Gallery 51 called Sexpectations. The gallery was covered with art that showed how the media portrays both genders. Males should be buff and in race cars and sports. Females should be thin and covered in make-up. People come convinced that they have to look a certain way. Now, the media in sexual motivation? It actually might be a little different. Americans shy away from nudity in advertisements while foreign countries are used to it. Some, especially European nations, do have nudist beaches. The body is respected more. In America, bodies sell sex. There may be no nudity, but the set up of the models tries to promote sex. I mean, look at music. Years ago if any singer sang Akon's lyrics "I Wanna Love You," which we all know the true word rhymes with truck, would not sell anything. The music would be too risky, too improper. Madonna was looked down for her song "Like a Virgin." But really, she was not as blunt as today's artists are.

Question: Is it the media's intention to sell sex that allows artists to use such profane descriptions in their songs today?
