In the last couple of years, the commercialization of sex has increased, and now featuring sexy millennial women has become commonplace. The advent of the “Meganism” and kinksters becoming more mainstream has led to a decline in the stigma associated with displaying sexuality in commercials. Now that sexual desires and expression have no limitations, marketers are taking advantage of the fact that people are constantly exposed to brand stimulation and are constantly thinking about sex—even when they are not sexually aroused. In 2015 alone, there were more than 250 million views of sex ads on YouTube, and that was only the tip of the iceberg. These days, you can’t turn on the television or open a newspaper without seeing some kind of sexual solicitation.
The Rise In Demand For Erotic Commercials
In the past, the ad agencies that worked with brands would only consider ads that were suitable for family audiences. Now, with the understanding that people are more likely to be exposed to sexual content than any other kind of content, ads are considered more “adult” and more fitting for sophisticated audiences. Because a lot of this content is becoming more and more explicit, ad agencies are scrambling to keep up.
One of the telltale signs of the changing times is the increase in demand for erotic commercials. Agencies are no longer afraid to represent brands in a more sensual manner, and more and more companies are looking to buy YouTube and other platforms to gain an edge in the ever-changing digital world. In the past, advertisers would avoid anything too suggestive because they did not want to risk being banned in some countries. Today, with more and more people being open to new experiences, that censorship risk is no longer worth it. In fact, some countries have even decriminalized certain forms of sex, so brands are able to be more creative.
Why Are People Watching These Videos?
These days, when someone goes online to watch or listen to music, the first thing they probably do is type in “sex” or “erotic” to get results that are most relevant to them. Because of this, people are often finding themselves in the midst of an unwanted sexual encounter, whether or not they wanted to be there. This is especially harmful to women, who are more likely to be preyed upon because of their sex appeal. In some countries, such as Germany, prostitution has officially been legalized, so it is even possible that those women are being paid to engage in those acts.
According to some psychologists, the appeal of these kinds of videos is that they allow viewers to daydream about having sex with someone they are interested in. These kinds of videos can also allow someone to explore their fantasies safely and without embarrassment, something that was not possible prior to the internet. Finally, watching these videos can engage people in a way that prevents them from becoming completely engrossed in other activities, such as television or movies. Simply put, people can while away an hour or two in a somewhat passive way, which makes these types of videos perfect for relaxing or background usage.
Where Do These Videos Come From?
These videos come from all over the world. In the US alone, there are more than 750,000 registered sex offenders, and that number is growing. This means that there are likely many, many more unregistered sex offenders who see crimes as a way of life. This is a small percentage of the total population, but it is a terrifying reality that many people have to face. In many of these videos, the women are from the US, and many of them work in an “escorting” capacity, bringing income into the home. It is well known that prostitution provides a way of life for many women who were not born into wealthy families, and in some countries, such as Germany, it has been legalized, so women can feel a measure of security and independence.
Of course, not all videos featuring professional escorts are created equal. Some of these videos are highly provocative and contain scenes that are more likely to upset parents, guardians, and viewers of all ages. However, if the goal is to simply entertain, these homemade videos often surpass anything that an agency could produce. After all, there is no cost associated with creating something that is purely for entertainment purposes. Many of these videos were likely made by men who have an unhealthy fascination with female nipples or cleavage, and because they cannot get enough of it, they made a video to satiate their desire.
The Risks Associated With Watchlistening To These Videos
There are many risks associated with putting yourself in the middle of something that you do not understand. Whether or not you agree with the philosophy behind these kinds of videos, you can’t deny that they do exist. In the past, people who were exposed to such content might feel ashamed or disturbed by what they saw. However, these days, children and teenagers are even more at risk of being desensitized to sexual content, especially when it comes to watching these kinds of videos. It is well known that the younger a person is when they first see certain content, the more likely they are to engage in that behavior. This is why it is absolutely critical that parents protect their kids from seeing videos that contain any sexual content and watch them instead or read them to them. Additionally, if you are concerned about any kind of content that might be upsetting to you or your children, it is always recommended that you contact the website or platform that the content is being hosted on. In many cases, the company that owns the platform will have a direct channel that you can use to contact them. Alternatively, you can send them an email, and they will reach out to you directly.
When it comes to the future of sex work, it is undeniable that the stigma associated with it is diminishing. In some places, such as Germany, it was made legal in certain cases in order to provide women with economic independence. However, even in these places, there are still very deep prejudices against those who choose to earn money in this way. Hopefully, as society becomes more open-minded, we will see more and more people pursuing careers in the adult entertainment industry. Still, until that day comes, it is essential that people are taught to be respectful of others’ personal lives and to be mindful of what they are promoting. It is only a matter of time before these videos start appearing on demand, so it is important that we learn to cope with them now — before then.
