Bob K. sent in this image of Liquid Virgin Tightening Lubricant (found here):
According to the website,
This product is called a Vaginal Contracting Lubricant. It is Similar to the age-old China Shrink cream. These drops work to temporarily tighten the walls of the vagina. I have never tried it but our sales representative says they work. I didn’t ask how she knew.
This could be used in a discussion of how women’s bodies are perceived, and particularly stereotypes of sexually active women’s bodies. After all, the word “loose” implies that a woman is slutty and therefore her vagina is all, you know, stretched out and stuff. Because that’s totally how that works.
The implication is that sex with such women will be less pleasurable for men than sex with women who have had less sex…such as virgins. You might also want to talk about vaginal rejuvenation surgery as part of this topic.
Since we’re on the topic of images of sexually experienced women, Jenelle and Marcello both sent in this ad for BMW used cars (found here):
“You know you’re not the first.”
Here’s an example of another ad (found here) from the Polish used BMW campaign that doesn’t use a woman to sell cars. So apparently it can be done.
Thanks, Bob, Marcello, and Jenelle!

My favorite part of the top one is that it's strawberry scented. Because, you know, virgins smell like strawberries.

I'm not even entirely sure what the message is supposed to be for the used BMW ad. "It's not new, but it's still disturbingly young looking." ??? The model looks sensually into the camera, and has a rather leading caption, and looks about fourteen.

Liz: "she's used goods" is the implication I think.

Perhaps, but that is such a strange sentiment in a used car advertisement. They aren't even called "used" cars anymore; they're "pre-owned." I can't believe that their use of such a young looking model is simply coincidental. The ad is trying to reconcile the fact that the car (and the girl) have been around the block with her youth, and frankly I find it unsettling.

I only used DermalMD Vaginal Tightening Serum once....so I used it an hour before sex and I just know the sex was wayyy better for him then the first time (this is only our second time having sex)because he came kind of quick and didn’t want to get off me afterwards he just layed inside me lol so yeah I give this product a 5...oh and plus I noticed like 7 hours later it was still kind of tight.not saying you’re gonna get a diamonds with this product but sex will be much more enjoyable.Believe me.Makes the woman a bit more aroused too.
