Then what then is this that we say? "Sex SELLS" It has been a commodity for all time and unless a woman gives it to her husband then she is a prostitute.
Wow. No, she isn't. "Sex" may or may not be a commodity; my body certainly is not. My body is not "sex", despite whatever you may think of women.
It is a commodity if it can be bartered and traded with for money. So get over it.
No, it is a commodity if it IS bartered and traded for money.
No, you get over it and stop calling people prostitutes who aren't.
Is rice not a commodity because you grew it from the ground and ate it yourself? You didn't sell it so it's not a commodity? You're plain wrong. Sex sells and it is sold because it is a commodity first.
That particular rice was not bought, sold or bartered for money, so that rice was not a commodity, but that is not to say that rice is never a commodity or rice in general.
That's not what the slogan "sex sells" means, you know. The phrase means that sex is used to sell other things such as cars. Some people do buy and sell sex, the act, and some don't. If you do, then that's you, not me.
Not everything is about money or sex. To believe that it is, is a very, very sad view of life.
You contradict yourself. First you say sex is used to sell other things then you say not everything is about money or sex. When sex is used to sell mundane things then we have certainly made everything about sex. And is sexual intercourse committed to sell the car? No. Just the body on display. Anything like this is sexual in nature and is a gross neglect of God's word. We are not to put our bodies on display because they are a commodity. Putting them on display is indirectly selling our bodies which is prostitution. So all models in photoshoots who display their bodies are also prostitutes. They are selling their body for money. It doesn't have to actually be sexual intercourse.
That's not a contradiction. Sex is notoriously used to sell products, but that does not make "everything" about money or sex. Seriously.
Nonsense, there way are more things in this life than buying and selling mundane things whether advertisers use sex as a gimmick or not.
And sometimes not even the body! Sometimes it's just the hands or the face!!
That doesn't even make sense.
No, it isn't, neither one. Displaying your body (beach, for instance) is not indirectly selling anything unless you are, you know, actually selling something. And selling something, not your body or soul, is not prostitution.
That's a false equivalence unless you are using the word "prostitution" metaphorically - in which case, just about any job can be called "prostitution" and any worker a prostitute.
There is a difference between what the op was talking about and inappropriate content.
