Well, I think it just matches. The clothes are sexy so everything must be sexy. They should add some bellystrings so it will be more hot.

The point is, we are now talking about sex by talking about the poster with the cutie on it, what we think is the sexual ideal, about what sex is and what it’s “supposed to be.” The poster provoked the discussion, so it did its job.

I love the poster. is it Sexist and youth based?… perhaps… effective? yes!

Okay, frankie but…effective at what? If it is “perhaps” sexist, then I’d question value of the effect.

I’m not thrilled with the poster, but not because it’s sexist (you can call anything sexist if you try hard enough) but rather because I’m unsure if it’s congruent with the rest of SexDayUSA’s message as I understand it. I could be misunderstanding, but it is so easy to inappropriately eroticize sexuality—a concept distinct from sex—that I think this poster swings too far in the direction of playing on overarching themes of sexualization as opposed to conceptualization.

I hope that makes sense to others and not just to me.

Either way, huge kudos for getting a conversation going.

Pascale. you open up a very current discussion about body shape and sexualization. The site linked to your own profile displays a idealized looking couple in perfected embrace. So let’s question both these images and the personalized judgements that all of us as individuals bring to any image. Had either you or sexdayusa shown bodies that were very different, or if not bodies some other symbol, what would the reactions be? That we were not being sexual enough, or that we’re playing to current political correctness? For instance, what if our model for the 2010 poster has a naturally protruding rib cage– an anomoly, perhaps? Should we ban her image because it’s not the average shape? Or let’s assume that she is sucking it up? Then, isn’t that sex in America?

It’s perfect. It evokes her love of sex–and mine.
Yikes. The day is almost over. What am I doing reading?

I’ll be honest. The woman (I’m presuming it’s a woman)has a sunken in stomach and with the rib cage showing, It appears she is sucking her stomach in. Why is she doing that? To hide any ‘fat’ or ‘bulge’? Is that’s the opposite of what sex day is about – celebrating our bodies. *confused*
