I'm thinking of writing an article for the Toronto Star about this issue. If there anyone gives me some goodies and if they would like, I can add their name as co-authors!
Right here on ISP and other forums, we constantly see the pics of models and beautiful women...for all of us, meeting them and having a relationship with them is definately impossible. So why bother? Why think about and look at something you can't have? Would we be more productive in both a materialistic and spiritual sense if there was less sexual provokation?
As average human beings living in the busy modern society, we are constantly hit by sexual images. Whether to relieve stress, or for simple pleasure of seeing something beautiful, but almost certainly for commercial purposes, sexual images are something that you can not get away from!
I would like to ask everyone to tell me whether you notice this also and whether you find the bombardment of sexual images in the Western culture positive!
p.s. don't forget that in Iran, where these ideas are totally under the rug, the society moves towards them (just see the way girls put up make up and show their bodies)...the source may be indeed the natural need for attention...or it could be that in Iran (as an example), the images seen from the West become idealized and the society therefore tries to copy them.
p.s.s. this is not about whether you enjoy these images (who wouldn't!!!)...it's about critically analyzing this phenomena!
