Over sexed?

Reading through a popular magazine today, I was disturbed at how sensualized our world has become.

Everything from shoes to perfume it can't be sold any other way but through sex. Is the only way to make money is through blatant exposure of the human body?

What kind of ideal is that? Are we so insecure in ourselves that we have to become something we're not? Are we so tired of reality that we have to escape to surrealism?

What does this tell our children? What do they think when they see our attempts to be something we're not? Does this create in them the same insecurities? The same beliefs that the 'real' us isn't good enough? We have to plasticize ourselves in order to measure up to the ungodly standards of models, ad, commercials and Hollywood. But, I'm tired of having to be plastic, I'm tired of being told that my body isn't right. That the only way I'll ever measure up is to be an oversexed, plasticized barbie.

Modesty is something that isn't wrong. It's something that allows us basic human dignity. There's nothing flattering about exposing ones self to the world. Do you really think we want to see it in the first place? The term, 'TMI' (too much information) was coined for a reason.
