I don't think that the original poster was saying that sex is bad or sick. He
was saying, I think, that there seems to be an increase in using females as
sexual objects in videos. Men are rarely portrayed that simplisticly. For
example: the new version of the video for that Chris Issak (sp) song, "Wicked
 Game." In the video there are two people on the beach. One is Chris. Since
 it's his song, we see him singing. That is his voice. That is how he talks.
 The woman, though, does not sing. She does not talk with her voice. She talks
 with her body. Continuously running her hands over various parts of her body.
 I won't babble more about this portrayal, I'll let you think about it. It's
 something we've seen in Countless videos. Can't people think of anything 
 else to film/sing/write about?
