music videos

Does anyone think that some of the music videos you see lately are soft porn? These are on at all times of the day if you have cable or sky. I have flicked through these and the latest videos are basically women gyrating in their underwear, pole dancing, getting covered in liquids etc.

It seems the boundaries of what is acceptable are being pushed further and further all the time, something that I dont see as a beneficial thing.

i must agree with you, it seems a shame they have to go this far to sell their music.

Music vids have been verging on the rather suggestive for a long time now - why so upset at 'women' gyrating - would it be ok for guys to do likewise?
How about Robbie Williams - hardly needs an excuse to get his kit off & don't hear many ladies complaining that he's compounding soft porn too.
There is always an off switch on your tv if you don't want to watch!
But sex does sell!!!!

Yes I know sex sells but Im just saying I dont think it is right, it is too accessible at any time of day and you can hardly get away from it nowadays.

I dont agree with the Robbie Williams comparison. For one thing, women view men's bodies differently to how men view womens'. Take women at a hen do, they laugh at the men, they are primarily there for the laugh. Men at a strip club do not sit there and laugh. They take it all in and go home and re-enact in their heads what they have just seen, its not a laugh at all.

Also, there are only a handful of videos with men portraying themselves in a sexual way unlike the ones with women in.
