"I dunno, maybe it's because I'm bisexual, but I think this could work."
"This is people that... clearly do not mind being objectified."
Awesome comment! Bravo!
I think it's too simple to say that all people in those industries don't want to to be objectified. I'm sure there are actually a good amount who enjoy being objectified, and there are probably a good amount of people who put up with it. When I used to perform with hula hoops in a bikini in a night club there were…
I dig these ideas. I think perhaps sexualizing men in a similar fashion that women have always been sexualized may promote a little empathy. And maybe it could empower men a little by validating their sexuality in a different way other than high-fiving them for their conquests.
Totally agree. Bikes are great for short city travel, but if they'd actually think outside their little box of "city," they'd know there's a whole lot of world out there. I drove 240 miles today— up to the edges of Yosemite (no cash for entry), and then some running around in the smaller mountains west of them— Don…
Flame you? Flame you? I might ADORE you for saying that! Flame you? Never. I do not hate bikini babes — that is what they look like — good for them — they are beautiful. Although — let's be honest, even the bikini babes are airbrushed and have breast implants — NO ONE looks like that. Some are closer than…
Thanks for this, Raphy.
You're an idiot.
I don't completely agree with Raphy here. But my argument is a little different. You say "Men are always going to think of women sexually." First of all, yeah straight men will always think of women sexually, that's fine, but it's only one kind of representation of women being sexual and that's the "sexy baby" look.…
Exactly. Because whenever you see men in this kind of setting, it's almost ALWAYS random-joe type dudes* and the message is "HUR HUR LOOK BRO, TABLES TURNED." It's almost never equivalent hot beefcake types, because GAY.
Well, it would help if they had really good looking men, you know.
I tend to agree...and I am a straight male, but also happily married with a 13mo old so yeah the whole pseudo-strippers with cars thing doesn't really appeal to me. I understand market demographics, and that I'm probably too old (32) for the target but I find an event like Cars and Coffee much more satisfying. Just…
I'm curious, why does this bother you? How does this have an effect on the sex industry, or equality? This isn't sex slaves being forced into prostitution, this is people that do these things for a job and clearly do not mind being objectified. Don't women have the right to do as they please with their body?
That sounds AWESOME where can I see that?
Newsflash. People can be angry about more than 1 thing.
Totally agree with you. Ultimately I think this photo shoot was just funny. It would have been more of a statement if one of the poses involved one of the guys shoving his junk into the exhaust pipe.
