Hi. No, I don't like the sex-hype thing in the media. It seems today you can't watch anything on tv without nudity/sex or sexual violence. I personally don't find it entertaining and a few people I know also don't like it, but we are expected to like it and apparently are prudish if we don't.

Mainstream messages I have picked up as a woman are below. A male perspective will probably be different.

Thin is beautiful, fat is unattractive.

Too thin is scrawny and unattractive.

Anything less than flawless skin is flawed and you need heavy make up or some fancy products

A woman is not attractive without make-up

A man expects sex on the first date or within the first week of dating. The liberated woman will give it.

Whether you are worth marrying or not depends on how good you are in bed.

We mustn't have baggage of any kind to be loved, because no one wants to help carry it. Tell everything to a shrink, don't bother your friends or spouse with your problems. Communication doesn't make a marriage, sex and material possessions do.

Material things make us happy, so have more.

Talent is less imporant than looks. SIngers/actors and so forth, must be beautiful rather than fantastic in their craft. Writers must put in sex/nudity.

Getting old is unacceptable - get cosmetic surgery.
