Jd Williams ad

I found myself annoyed at the advert when they decide to mention whether older women still have sex. I've seen it a couple of times now, both were pre watershed if that's even a thing now. I don't think our kids should have to hear about women having sex followed by an older lady lounging in her underwear. Call me a prude but I just think it's going a bit too far. I've changed name for this. Am I being too old fashioned? I'm only early 40s

I haven’t seen the advert you’ve mentioned, what’s the point the adverts trying to make? They sell clothes don’t they?

They're saying things like "they think middle aged women don't know how to party, don't have style and probably stopped having sex a long time ago" Shot to grey haired woman lying down provocatively in her pink lacey underwear. I just think it's poor taste to speak about sex in a clothing ad.

You're being unreasonable, ridiculous and a prude. It's a very tame advert.

It makes me cringe

I feel the same op, its pathetic. And image if they showed a guy past 50 in his boxers talking about if he still has sex, there would be an outcry

@ssd

This. Exactly this.

Its proper cringe as much as anything. Makes me embarrassed to be a middle aged woman. Why do I need to hear from some dick at JD Williams advertising dept that everyone thinks we don't have sex anymore or have any fun? It's a load of crap.

YANBU I'm in my 40's definitely not a prude. That's completely unacceptable for a pre watershed ad. It's getting increasingly difficult to shield our young kids from sexual topics/images. Innuendo is one thing, but that sounds blatant.
