Sex is still Selling and Someone is still Yelling in the Entertainment Industry

Back in the day and even now, children listened to music glorifying sex, grew older had children of their own and now their children listen and watch hypersexualized music videos.  We all grew up and we did things, lots of things that were sexual in nature whether we talked inappropriately, wore something too small or too tight or participated in acts.  Then we matured and learned from personal experiences, it's just not worth it to put yourself out there or with anyone who isn't deserving of your love and affection!  We are supposed to teach children and grandchildren and hope for the best; however many still fall short!

Sexual products and services are still selling in great number!

"Advertisers use sex because it can be very effective," said researcher Tom Reichert, professor and head of the department of advertising and public relations in the UGA Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. "Sex sells because it attracts attention. People are hard-wired to notice sexually relevant information, so ads with sexual content get noticed." Business News Daily

Even though there have been studies which conclude that sex doesn’t sell, it is commonly believed that it does. It’s a topic that’s consistently been debated, and we’re left wondering why there continues to be an abundance of over-sexualized, sexist and misogynistic advertisements in glossy magazines and commercials.

However, when one is exposed for the abuses, fetishes and other things that most people are not in agreement with, he, she or they go into hiding.  Not only did the sex sell, but now the scandal will also sell too!

For years, I personally saw the pimp mentality show up and show out with some of my relatives who had been exposed to a variety of media--some of which was pornographic content.  They were the inspiration for my book, "Socially Sweet, Privately Cruel Abusive Men."  I didn't want people, especially women, to be swept away by all that sweet talk and walk only to use and abuse them later.  I wanted readers to see the light and walk away from darkness while they are still alive to do so.  Yet, daily someone is being lured into a trap and they aren't getting out anytime too soon or not at all.  No matter what naïve men and women see or hear about the pimps in the entertainment industry, attention-starved, hypersexual teens will still meet/have sex against their caretakers wishes.  They want to be the ones to say, "I did &T^% with XYZ celebrity!" on their social media accounts, television and elsewhere.  And that's what the pimps in the industry know--that's all the more reason why they will give them one hell of a ride too before they make it out!

Now why would someone still connect with a high profile celebrity despite a sordid history?  Because the name means more then the gullible victim's self-esteem for starters.  If you don't think much of you, but you think the world of the celebrity, you are willing to do just about anything for him or her.  The key is too build a person's self esteem so that he or she would never settle for just anyone or anything no matter how important that person is in media.  Check out other reasons why these so-called fans get mixed up with toxic celebrities?

1) Boredom.
2) Depressed and have other personality issues.
3) Recent breakup with someone who reminds them of said celebrity.  Yeah, I know crazy!  So off they go searching out the real thing.
4) False promises.
5) No faith, no purpose and a weak dream.  Without a specific plan, legitimate connections, and no support, here comes Pimp Celebrity who can make you a star--NOT!  Rather, he or she can disgrace you.

Daughters with no watchful fathers or mothers are easy prey.  However, they are a bit of a challenge when they initially care for their children and are proactive but then once trust is established with the celebrity's crew, the celebrity handler gets the upper hand and out you go parent(s).  Many of these people are just as star struck as the children turned adults we saw in the recent documentary series about R&B singer and songwriter R. Kelly.  In the backs of their minds, they know full well "celebrity" was all-too-important to them that's why he and others got away with what they did and continue to do so.  These days the exposure to the R. Kelly situation is a stand-off between good versus evil.  The time to shine is on those who want his false light dimmed. #MuteRKelly

As long as people still get captivated by sexual style, positions, connections, associations, etc. and as long as they are willing to pay for it, then it will be just what it is...star struck victims looking to make a quick buck.
