SHOULD SEXUAL ADS BE ENCOURAGED?

ads were encouraged but in  limited places the ads should not distrub athors

Good Article Reji...........

Sexual content may help a company to do its marketing upto an extent, but where it comes to sales, its the product which is gonna be in the deal.
as according to me, sexual content only does the branding part of any product.
And every company have the right to use upto a limit which is given by the govt. authorities.
I think we are in market people have their own strategies, what they use.

what is suggestive s*&? for one , can be just mechanised activity for the another ::

it depends what influences a pilot on his / her radar ::

nothing should divert the focus and lifes vision...
if the extraneous environment influences a person he/she is not worth it ::

No. They dont require an encouragement.  By itself, sex has an inherent speed and a place in Human psyche.  What grows naturally should not be manured.  Encouraging it would lend it an extra strength which would make it a  'frankeinstein'.  Therefore it is best left alone, or if need be, curbed and controlled to be within reasonable limits

Sexual ads encouraged or not, this is fully depend on the thought of people but no any question about it that impressive ads are help to selling products and very easy for content writers to create a sexual contant for impressive ads.

In Indian context time is not mature to encourage sexual advertisement

Need not be encouraged or discouraged. We have seen ads like that of Airtel and productsthat dont use sex but power packed and luxury goods are using sex coz sexy women and men are identified with such products. They just sell a dream.It is a global phenomena.

NO. Sexual ads should not encouraged 

good but even more reasoning should be given on the content

Sex is universal. It's a biological compulsion. My articles not at all about sex, but with the word 'sex' has the highest readers. Films with explicit sex are craved. 'Hot films' in a film festival  get packed auditoriums. Cricket is also now being dressed in sex attire. In India yes, people are religious and so they shy away from official discussion. But in private they relish it whenever the opportunity presents itself. Media is only taking natural advantage of this vantage point! In days of cut throat competition every form of media wants to be read viewed watched the maximum possible. Unless some genetic transformation happens to human bodies such cravings will continue. The question of encouraging or discouraging is just not in our power. Yes, we can still fight for banning porn films and porn sites in the internet. Again, in India, the pretension of 'maturity' could lead to strong protests against any form of censorship!

Suggestive sex has been the most potent attraction (even more than actual sex) since human being started wearing clothes. One of the basic instinct, human race will always crave for it, and it is natural that we like to be liked and preferred as sexual partner. Advertising, performing arts, folk arts etc have been using sex or rather suggestion of sex to draw people.
Yes it does sell, but question that should it be promoted, is it ethical will always have debate and different cultures will differ significantly. For instance in India advertisements about condoms, sanitary napkins, bra, birth control pills, HIV etc etc are also embarrassing to watch with kids or with elders. Some of the channels (like F) or programmes we would like to watch alone but not with children. Question is do we have enough filters? Do we have a system of discretion? can we insulate children? Is there enough dialogue and openness on sex topics? 
Interestingly we all know what is vulgar and what is sensuous. Problem is that inappropriate sexual content is shown to titillate and we donot have any way to insulate. Can there be some kind of censorship and should there be some kind of limits. Yes we know we cannot promote everything that sells, yes there will be temptation for sellers and pressures from sellers in the name of profit and freedom of expression. ;Creativity;, and ;I donot think it is vulgar or offensive' are arguments with ulterior motives. Especially for country like India where social norms differ widely arguments are easy to give. We must have a proper code and everyone need to adhere to.it does not restrict creativity, but it provides a chance to be creative. And incidentally why so creative with sex only.

Nice article Reji. I don't think Sexual - or for that matter any other type of ads - can really be ENCOURAGED. As they say 'necessicity is the mother of invention', it's just a phase in use of sexual content (exposure, symbolism, fantasy etc...) to entice the audience. So long as there is honesty, autonomy, privacy and transparency in marketing the product, I think the way it is adverstised should not be a problem.

In that case I feel ads that claim to have "Bio-boosters that kill 99.736 % bacteria" are more misinforming and worse that that of a deodorant that claims to attract female attention !

It is unfortunate that today we are watching sexual content and ads on media to gain public attention, reason is competition is marketing. We can't see such ads with family, our children are going wrong direction, one thing we are adopting west culture blindly which is horrible for our society.it should can damn and set a regulatory body on Media.

Well... Each product requires diffrent portray of imagination. To invoke a perticular group and encourage them to buy those. I think we should stop being judgemental and lets companies and creative team to come-up with innovative ideas to hit on their target customers. As long as its not abusive and erotic, I think ads with little hint would work for market like India. I will defenitly appreciate if ads become more specific and relevant to the products. :)

yes i hope it should .

Every one like to see sexual things like pictures videos and what ever to seen possible but they all don't want to show all these to there childrens that's why people oppose,if people does not like sex should closed Khajurahon temple, they can add the condom,they can add the stay free they can add the other things is related to sex but after that oppose them .

present generation is mature enough to understand?

Let's leave this on viewers, but I think there is proper regulatory.

Today's generation is quite mature enough to understand there tacts and tricks. If a company is using these type of pictures or videos to attract the public. I think, its ok unless and until its censored.
