Watching the Great British Pottery Throw Down on REALLY with my (teenage) kids and an advert for Love Honey came on and literally far too overt -finished with a woman in suspenders and some kind of straps across her bum cheeks hitting herself with a whip from behind-WTAF? But all the clips were seemingly about the women needing to dress up to impress the man (but that's another issue!!)
I know it is past 9pm and they are teenagers but it is half term etc.....

Followed by an advert for erectile problems!

I'm no prude but please come on! My kids were pretty revolted particularly my daughter and said 'Yuk, women aren't sexual play things for men' which was the implication of the advert.

I know porn is widely available but we click or don't click but an advert when we are relaxing watching a Pottery Programme -give me a break.

@Namechangeforthis2021
Please could you explain why you didn't mention the previous poster's actual homophobia yet you accused me of being sexist and, weirdly as you apparently haven't name changed to add supporting comments, assumed I was referring to you when it was unequivocally clear that I was referring to somebody else?

@Waspsarearseholes

I don't have any issue with erectile dysfunction adverts. That's like complaining about adverts for sanitary items

It's really not. The vast majority of teenage girls and women under 50 menstruate. It's a bodily function that happens whether we wish to reproduce or not. Erectile dysfunction affects significantly fewer men and only affects them getting it up. They really aren't the same thing. At all.

Are you seriously offended by this?

They're both advertising products which deal with intimate conditions of the body.

Record it and fast forward through ads - this is what recorder boxes are for. Can't remember when I last saw a TV ad.

@Snoozer11 - I'm not sure if you're referring to me but I'll answer anyway! No, I am not remotely offended by either adverts, just as I am not remotely offended by the love honey adverts. I just don't think saying sanitary towel adverts and erectile dysfunction adverts are the same

I am also nobody’s wife. Cult leaders often seem in favour of improper underage sexual indoctrination, as far as I can see.
