it bothers me because it's another example of how moral choices have been replaced by consumer choices. it's sterilising and "branding" this most intimate and unknowable part of the human psyche and therefore creating another form of sexual repression, at least contributing to it - "if you don't think this is "fun" and "playful" in this juvenile approach to sexuality, then there's something wrong with you." Sex is power, as Focault alluded, and the libidinal economy, which is being tapped by capitalism so cynically. People are constantly looking for guides and gurus to deal with their most intimate mental anguishes, because of their iniability to confront certain things themselves. And it's lack of this that consumerism taps into. When it start to market our sexuality back to us, i'm sorry, i draw the fucking line there. Because this banal way it approaches it, fails to address something fundamental in our nature.
I can imagine it now
