<\/a><\/p>\nThe earliest forms of sexy advertising dates back to 1871 when Pearl Tobacco featured a naked maiden on its package cover. Illustrations of attractive Betties in scantily clad clothes, or unclothed from the waist up started to adorn posters, signs and ads for tonics, saloons and tobacco. Because that Betty essentially perked the consumer’s interest and the products sales. In 1885, W. Duke & Sons inserted sexually provocative starlets into cigarette packs, causing them to become the leading American cigarette brand by 1890, and proving that sex in advertising may be just as addicting as nicotine.<\/p>\n
Back in the 50s, Elvis was only shown from the waist up. Times have indeed changed as you can find borderline porn while surfing through the prime-time lineup on television. While commercials are pretty easy to disregard, every once in a while, one comes along that not only pushes television’s boundaries, but society’s boundaries too. Some sexually oriented advertisements can provoke quite a backlash because while sexy imagery is effective, it’s also heavy with taboos and volatile attitudes.<\/strong><\/p>\n Such is the case with what is being called ‘the most racist commercial.’ In the recently trending laundry detergent ad in China, a woman is seen throwing a black man into a washing machine and transforming him into a Chinese man. This commercial proves that while sexy advertising may attract one market’s demographic, it also holds potential to completely repel another. Gallup & Robinson, an advertising and marketing research firm reported that in more than 50 years of testing advertising effectiveness it found: \u201cErotic is an above average effective technique with the marketplace, but it’s dangerous for the advertiser, meaning HANDLE WITH CARE and SELLER BEWARE; all of which some how, makes it even more intriguing.\u201d<\/p>\n This Chinese laundry commercial was far from the first to push the western world’s buttons although it is the most recent, and it’s probably the only laundry commercial that doesn’t just smell, it stinks. For the kinky record, this was far from the first time sex and soap met in advertising. The first time was in 1911, when Woodbury’s Facial soap was about to be discontinued. The soap’s sales decline reversed after its advertisements started showing pictures of romantic couples and promises of love and intimacy. It’s an odd kinky truth, while sexy images in advertisement attract some, it also carries the reverse weighted potential to repel, and smell rank with controversy. <\/p>\n Calvin Klein hit controversy for his jeans advertisement in the 90s when he showed a 15-year-old Brooke Shields in a pair of Calvin Klein jeans saying, \u201cWant to know what gets between me and my Calvins? Nothing.\u201d So did Benetton when it used interracial groupings and unusual sexy images like a nun kissing a priest. But the sexy fact remains, for better or for worse, sex in advertising sells despite that taboo advertisement being discontinued. While the ad is removed, it would think that the campaign would suffer, but it could still prove to be successful, showing that sexy imagery sells even if society doesn’t consider it a politically correct sale. <\/p>\n Herein for your consideration are the top ten sexiest commercials of all-time, and almost all of them were just too hot for the presses at the time of their release causing a shit storm of conservatives and bible beaters to throw a temper tantrum. From ads for burgers to beer, this list of ‘The Kinkiest Commercials,’ demonstrates that while sex in advertising sells, it also holds the power to repel, and in each consumer lies the ability to make that sexy decision for themselves. <\/p>\n Axe is a dude’s cologne that often has highly steamy innuendos in their marketing campaigns. In the case of the X-Ray Vision, this rather tame commercial explores a commonplace fantasy of, \u201cWhat if I could see through women’s clothing?\u201d How is invading other people’s privacy, appropriate and sexy? Axe plays off of the notion of X-Ray Vision allowing a guy the opportunity to see the opposite sex non-consensually in their intimate apparel, and that plays on the fetish of voyeurism.<\/strong> It’s a sexy fact, if dudes were given a choice of Ray Ban sunglasses, or X-Ray goggles, it’s no surprise which one they’d wear on a more consistent basis.<\/p>\nSex in advertising sells and repels<\/h2>\n
