Poll: Does sex really sell?

[elfshiree]

It is all around us. Movies, music, tv, video games, entire magazines are devoted to it. If it's media it more than likely to contain it. But does sex really sell? Does Paris Hilton washing a car in a sexy swimming suit really make you want to eat that hamburger? Let me know what you think!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Considering that animals live to mate and reproduce? I'd say yes.

I'm not swayed by it personally though, no.

 

[Cherry Cola]

It certainly hasn't worked for me.

I don't know about others though.

But in my opinion, people who buy stuff because of sex appeal, like buying Bayonetta because she is hot, are weak minded.

 

[Robert632]

it depends on the thing being sold and the person it is being sold to.

DELETED

 

[FactualSquirrel]

I don't buy things for sex, but if the poll was the obvious (does sex sell) then hells yes.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Me personally no. In fact it makes me not want to buy it.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Not me personally, but to answer the question, yes, sex sells.

 

[Communist partisan]

The sex makes me want the woman not the product

 

[Julianking93]

Yes.

That is all.

Sex sells. Its that simple

 

[SextusMaximus]

Well I got The Saboteur for Christmas, but I probably would have bought it otherwise, if I hadn't.

 

[tomtom94]

Not to me...but in general, I presume it works. in the same way advertising spambots probably work on the very stupid...

 

[GeneralGrant]

It sells certain items.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Not to me, it doesn't. Especially if it's poorly portrayed, which it usually is.

Does Paris Hilton washing a car in a sexy swimming suit really make you want to eat that hamburger? Let me know what you think!

Paris Hilton can put me off anything.

 

[WrongSprite]

Not in common media, no.

If we're talking pornography, then it's very different.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Sex. Works for me! I'm sold.

 

[Asturiel]

Not for me, no.

But for the masses.
Yes

What this moron said. Sex sells to people, but not to me as a person.

 

[Nincompoop]

I am ashamed to say that it actually makes me less interested. I pride myself of being objective, but it really can make me reconsider.
