Subject: RE: Using sex to sell songs.
Good post, Rowan. Thanks for that. I think you have probably answered the original question perfectly. It does seem to be an age or maturity thing. I suspect the reaction of most men to displays of blatant sexuality will be the same - It cannot help but be when millions of years of breeding instinct are involved. What the mature man does however, and I mean mature in terms of mental development rather than years, is controls that basic reation. Where you see groups of men, predominately young but age is no barrier, together they tend to go backwards in this. From what I have seen of groups of women they seem no better. What we get, unfortunatley, is that behavior spilling over into general society and some people cannot seem to differentiate.

I guess one of the main difference between us and anilmals is that we are able to mask our instincts to a much greater extent. Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on your point of view I suppose!

Cheers
