Sexuality in our Culture

          Today’s reading was pretty out of the ordinary to what we’ve been reading for our blogs but it was pretty interesting. The reading was pretty much about how sexuality especially amongst females plays a big role in today’s culture. I have to agree with the author because sexuality is everywhere. Whether it be in movies, on TV, or even in magazine ads such as mine, sexuality has changed our culture in a big way. In my magazine ad, the two “main” characters are two attractive, young, looking women dancing close to men. Both of them are sporting sleeveless shirts in what it looks like to be some kind of club. The magazine ad conveys sexuality because why else would the girls try to wear the minimum amount of clothes to a club in which they will be near men for the whole night? Sexuality and gender have been a huge part in culture in past decades. For example, some of the most famous singers from the past include Madonna and Britney Spears. These two singers have made such a large impact on not only girls, but also guys. When young girls saw Britney Spears and Madonna, they wanted to be just like them because they saw them as role models, but on the other hand, when guys saw them, they were thinking that they are two of the most attractive sex idols in their time. So if the guys were digging them, girls taught that guys would dig them too if they were just like them. Sexuality is everywhere, including sports. Many female athletes not only make their money from playing their sport, but also modeling. When these female athletes model, it brings out a different kind of sexuality that many people aren’t used to seeing them as. Ever since the past, girls have learning from role models and celebrities to be sexy and attract guys while guys learned to love the adapting girl. Sexuality is not an entirely bad thing as many people have become rich and companies such as Playboy have boomed because of the surge of sexuality. In today’s age, I think the sexuality and gender roles in our culture will stay the same forever.
