Commercialized Sex: What The Media Has Taught Me
Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, Men’s Health, GQ, Self Magazine and Maxim are all magazines with sex advice that grab the attention of millions of sexually charged homo- and heterosexuals of all ages, and sexual experiences throughout the world.

They provide tips and ideas on several variations to allow options for people to chose the idea that is best suited for them. For example, “Naughty or Nice” an article in Men’s Health describing different sexy Christmas ideas that consist of extreme kinky sex presents or sweet and romantic ideas for making love (notice the terminology persuades the reader into creating an atmosphere for, in the end result, sex).

These media-idealized couples consisting always of females and males surrounding the article can be termed “hot” and “sexy” based on their flawless tanned skin; perfectly posed hair; sparkling white teeth and; painfully beautiful and toned muscles, similar to the half-naked, olive skinned, brown-eyed and silky brunette-haired couple under the title “Role Play You’ve Never Tried Before” (Cosmo).
