"Implicit in this is the suggestion that you, the target audience, should want to have sex."
~95% of the target audience does want to have sex. Sexuality isn't just a societal norm; it's a biological norm.
- so do you think it is ok to discriminate against people hust because they are a minority? I'm not sure what else to read from your 95% figure.
Ans biology does indeed exist, and perhaps inform our culture. However i suspect our culture over-rates sex. Look at the similarities between sex and rollercoasters, people do both for fun, there are lots of different types of rollercoasters, they can be more fun if you go with a friend. Rollercoasters are usually safe, but there is an element of risk inherent...
And contrast how society treats then. There is no words for 'never having riden the big roller coaster', there is no moralizing or slut shaming of people who use lots of rollercoasters, there is no demand that we only use one rollercoaster at a time or in ultra-conservative circles that we choose one rollercoaster for life.
There is no illicit trade in underground rollercoaster rides, because there is no problem publically selling or advertising rollercoasters. And finally, advertisers don't think, well everyone likes rollercoasters, and while we can't sell tha directly, we can use that to sell other products.
Ok, my analogy kinda fails when you consider that sex can be intimate, and this have an empotional component. And that humans are predisposed to developing emotional bonds, especially with the release of oxcytocin, which can come from skin-to-skin contact. But that is talking about relationships, not sex.
I stand by my claim that our culture over-rates sex. And primarily because of a biological function (reproduction) which is irrelevant to most of the sex people actually have.
