Can we also stop implying that KY Intense does anything beyond giving a cool tingle to the genitals? Srsly. It is NOT going to intensify orgasms in any world.

Yeah…I’m not a huge fan of these commercials. They also seem to imply that couples in long-term commitments=ugly, boring and frowsy (they are both in comfy, albeit unflattering pajamas, etc). They “need” this product because their relationship and sex life are so BORING.

Now, I don’t like glamorous, hypersexualized portrayals of couples, but I think this goes to far in the other direction.

Brit, there’s a similar commercial to this, where the woman talks about how her husband(?) gave her cash for her birthday (no card, just cash). But his being bad at celebrating personal occaisons is made up for by the AMAZING KY YOURS AND MINE.

ughhhhhh.

Moral of the story is that KY is horrible.

Yeah, I’m pretty tired of the Men Are Strong And Masculine! But you must pretend to be a shrinking violet because you cannot rock the boat or else his fragile little ego will be crushes instantly.

Also, I only have sex on holidays, but that is accidental and based on someone elses’s unfortunate schedule of being in state:/ I was going to mock that when I realized all the sex I’ve had this year has been New Year’s, Mother’s Day, my birthday, and now I’m waiting for Thanksgiving for more. BOO, self.

Having experienced this (20 years of not verbalizing my sexual needs/desires/lack of pleasure/boredom/list could go on and on) first hand, I can readily agree. Although in my case, my husband has a low libido so that he never grew resentful of the infrequency or lack of intensity.

Now that I’m in the mist of a divorce and I find myself wallowing in Man-Hatred (temporary, I’m sure), I find the commercial witty. By using the product, she is superseding her male’s partner role in providing her pleasure, thereby taking control of her orgasm by ensuring it. It must be targeted at mature women in their 40s or something because now I’m finally at the age to express what I want sexually. I suppose it takes some of us longer to reach that place, sigh.

But you’re right about it sending bad subliminal messages. Bad commercial but funny (at the expense of dim witted men – hey, I didn’t say I hated men for no reason).
