About "Sex sells: The erotic content of media and marketing" topic:
Everyday in media, we are
surrounded by advertisements and news that desperately compete for our
attention. Everywhere we look, we find ourselves inevitably drawn to
images of scantily clad attractive men and women that are supposed to
somehow inspire us to purchase products they endorse. Increasingly,
brands from categories where you would not expect such expression,
are talking a language that is when not screaming then, whispering
sex. What are your thoughts on this topic? Are they crossing the
limits? Lets discuss here the various angles of erotic
content in media and marketing...

I believe that sex sells to a certain extent. Sex appeal can increase the effectiveness of an ad or commercial because it attracts the customer’s attention. It’s human nature to be curious about sex. However abusing your audience's attention is a...

Sexual content in advertising is used as a tool to gain the audience’s attention by evoking an emotional response. There are 5 dimensions of sexy ads such as functional, fantasy, symbolism, inappropriate and gender orientation which help to determine whether the sexual content is appropriate for the brand and product type. Sexual appeals come in the form of a visual element i.e. print ad, verbal element i.e. radio ad or in some cases both i.e. TV ads. Sexual attractiveness, sexual behaviour and sex esteem are the most common types of sexual content that is used in advertisements today. Ads can contain either one of the appeals or all, which depend on the product and media type because the a...

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...)...

I don't think sex "sells". Its not a concept or a product to be sold. Its a human passion or a habit like other habits. Human being does it unlike other habits. Only because of too much media hype, it is heard everywhere.

Professor at IIM A was explaining marketing concepts: You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I am very rich.Marry me!" That's Direct Marketing. You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says, "He's very rich.Marry him." That's Advertising. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say "Hi,I'm very rich.Marry me." That's Telemarketing. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her a ride, and then say, "By the way, I'm very rich.Will you marry me?" That's Public Relations. You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says, "You are very rich.." That's Brand Recognition. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say, "I'm rich.Marry...
