Sex
and even straight out pornography has gone mainstream
in Australia.
Some
may argue that it always has been.
Ever
since the incredible popular Number 96 hit Australian
television in the 70s, there has been a huge escalation
in the omnipresence of sex for general consumption.
In
the same era, Network Ten's smash hit, Prisoner, open
eluded to gay sex.
Today,
Network Nine has taken it one step further in their
reality television show, The Block, that is most well
known for its presentation of couples, including a
gay duo, who unashamedly go about their weekly home
beatification and sexual innuendo abounds.
Don't
believe me?
Ok,
firstly, check out the official MSNBC
website, which runs with the headline: XXX-ceptable
Now,
click on HighRollersMagazine.com.au
(which is closely related to Ms Fleiss Escorts, in
Sydney) www.missfleiss.com.au
They
are selling or at least promoting a book entitled
A man selling
sex
You
want to talk about mainstream advertisers? That is
a Mercedes-Benz advertising banner flashing on the
top of High Rollers Magazine official website
Even
"Big Brother" has got in on the act.
Click
on www.missfleiss.com.au/news
and you will be glad to see that Big Brother's Aaron
Bentley is even in on the act. A Sydney based phone
number for Aaron is even available, and its not a
1902 number either.
Media
Man Australia interviewed Australian sex symbol, Bessie
Bardot, who launched a her book, Casting
Couch Confidential, back in April to much fan
fair. Bessie fans will be glad to hear they can see
more of her on her official website at: www.bessiebardot.com
Her showreel is also available from Fairfax's multimedia
portal at: http://media.f2.com.au/?rid=12472
Clothing
manufactures are selling brands to retailers like
"Pornstar".
Perhaps,
not by coincidence, Media Man Australia, has also
previously interviewed Sydney journalist, Yolanda
Corduff, whose sassy articles have been published
in such places as Australian Penthouse, EROS Magazine
and the now defunct, Australian Women's Forum.
Yveete
Moore, sexy Sydney socialite is of two minds on the
subject of sex and porn going mainstream. Yvette says,
"maybe were are going to become so bombarded
with it that perhaps that we will become desensitized
to it that it will loose its appeal and selling power.
One need to focus more on the heart and relationships
and less on porn.
Its
an interesting cycle. The advertisers fund the industry,
but its important to remember that the buying public
fund the retails by purchasing what they are selling.
What are are often selling is in fact sex. The consumer
has the power to vote with their feet and wallet,
and if they feel included, write letters to their
local members of parliament and lobby groups.
Reality
TV has had a very sexy edge to it over the last few
years, with shows like Temptation Island becoming
all the rage. One need look no further that Big Brother
3 to see that the scenes are sexier than ever, yet,
it has rated the poorest out of all Big Brothers to
date.
Even
the author of this very article is rumored to be in
a supposed sexy reality TV show entitled Love Bytes.
It's
official - sex has indeed gone mainstream in Australia.

The
internet has undoubtedly increased the mainstream
acceptance of porn.

It
has long been known, "sex sells", but industry
insiders are indeed concerned that sex is not selling
as easily as it once did. Are they all over-exposed?
Do
we, the concerned public fear that it is the absence
of creative thinking that has lead to this rather
cheap option, known in some circles as "cheap
heat".
If
in fact this genre is a substitute for quality, those
of us who are involved in creative craft may not relish
this trend.

around on this program which is now known in many
circles as "the nipple show" or "tit
TV".
