Fed up with Ann Summers ads

38 replies

As a mid 50s woman I really don't look up anything involving sex nor talk about it. Quite happy with my life.
Am not happy with the Ann Summers ads. Yes, they are porn lite, but they objectify women and I presume MN sells our data to them.
Please stop.

Hi @TinyTear please can you let us know where you're seeing these ads? Is it in specific topics or threads?

YES PLEASE, i have never browsed Ann Summers, get my underwear in M&S or Uniqlo and have no interest in crotch photos in my feed.

Not blocked as had loads today - 26th September

I thought was just me! I was a bit fed up of seeing them constantly so I hope they are blocked!

What has being a mid-50s woman got to do with it?
Hate these presumptuous posts that assume all people are the same. Plenty of mid fifties women like the ole sexy time thank you very much, and yes even shop at Ann Summers!

I agree!

Oh, thank you, I did not spot this.

Hello @Pebbles16 thanks for posting. We've blocked these ads now. Do let us know if you see anything else. It's really helpful if you can share screenshots of ads, too as we can locate them faster.

Thanks, Becky, I was getting very irritated by them as well. Every thread!

@Pebbles16 I've complained about them before, as have others.
They've cropped up on threads with sensitive subjects, really inappropriate.
If I wanted to look at that stuff I'd go look for it, instead of having it shoved in my face.

You know how ads work right OP?
